Extractions: Mold Spore 2340 V HIGH Grass Pollen Tree Pollen 576 HIGH Weed Pollen Health Risks: Asthma is a disease of hyper-reactive or twitchy airways. Asthmatic patients develop narrowing of their airways or bronchospasm following exposure to a variety of allergic irritants or other stimuli. Viral infections are one of the most common agents which increase bronchial hyper-reactivity and result in wheezing. They do so through a variety of mechanisms including perhaps allergy based effects as well as direct damage to the lining of the lungs which can then lead to bronchospasms. Viral infections are important triggers for asthma, particularly in children. It is estimated that nearly half of the wheezing episodes in children 5 years of age or less are related to viral infections, especially those with RSV, the respiratory syncytial virus. For reasons that are not well understood, adults are less likely to develop wheezing during viral infections than children. It is important to consider bronchospasm as an important result of viral respiratory infection, as optimal therapy for such episodes might include inhaled bronchodilator medications.

Extractions: Our concern is the application of gene therapy to viral infections* Gene therapy* offers an alternative to conventional therapies for viral infections; however, many issues must be considered, including efficacy versus the cost of treatment, and ethical issues regarding the availablilty of treatment. (Please note: * designates an external link) Background Gene Therapy Ethics Background and Significance: We have chosen to use Human Papillomavirus (HPV)* as a paradigm to explore some of the possibilities and advantages of gene therapy, the alternative treatements available, and to highlight some of the ethical considerations that arise from gene thearpy as applied to viral infections. HPV* is a double-stranded DNA virus that infects basal epithelial cells of the urogenital tract. Transmission occurs primarily via sexual contact. Condoms are of little use in protection from HPV infection, as HPV can be transmitted simply by contact with the scrotum. Detection of HPV infection is difficult; estimates of HPV infection in women range from 26% to 46% of all women. The virus can exist as a latant phage, in which case there are no observable symptoms in the infected individual; as a nonlatant phage, it can cause genital warts or papillomas. The appearance of abnormal growths in HPV infection has been associated with myriad factors, including immune depression, emotional upheaval, and alcohol and cigarette use. HPV infection has been assoicated with both cervial and prostate cancer; 90% of cervical caners worldwide have been seen to contain DNA from

Extractions: Abstract A new neuro-cutaneous syndrome (NCS) is described. It is characterized by neurological sensation of movement subcutaneously and/or in deeper tissues and cavities that is usually associated with mucoid cutaneous lesions from which one or more species of arthropods as well as unidentified fibers may be recovered. Introduction This presentation is introductory in nature and is intended only to bring attention to a new disease entity that has not been previously reported. Attention is drawn herein to general manifestations of the initial pathology in a number of cases. No discussion of medical history, treatments, or outcome will be attempted at this time since most cases have not been satisfactorily resolved. These aspects will be discussed at a later date on a case by case basis as further progress allows and as more detailed information becomes available. Bacteria Cyclogeny The Bacteria Cyclogeny1 is the morphological developmental cycle through the sum of all generations, beginning with the simplest morphological unit (Mych, Mychit or Mychomerit) to the highest morphological structure pertinent to each particular species, ending again with the unit Mychit or Mychomerit. This is, a phylogenetically high form takes its course, starting from the Mychit to the Dimychit and all appearance forms of the Syndimychit, up to the syntact Syndimychit, and back to the Mych usually with the tiniest step forward being distributed over numerous generations.

Extractions: We recently had the privilege of visiting with the owners of Hemex Labs of Phoenix, Arizona, Mr. and Mrs. David Berg. Mr. Berg has an MS in Laboratory Science and Mrs. Lois Berg has credentials in the nursing field as it relates to teaching laboratory science. They have done a lot of work in the field of Abnormal Blood Coagulation and the thrust of their work at Hemex is a culmination of nearly thirty years of study in that field. Hemex testing is a complete workup in the nuances of Abnormal Coagulation. This can be mainly a genetically based set of problems or as a set of abnormal terrain abnormalities caused by low-grade infections and environmental toxicity. A certain small number of our population are very easy "bleeders" as a result of genetic diseases such as Hemophilia. There are the vast majority of people who "clot" their blood normally and, on the other side of the bell shaped curve, a small number of people who are hypercoagulable or "slow bleeders." The Bergs estimate that as many as 14 million Americans have problems with Hypercoagulation.

Extractions: Irvine, Calif., Oct. 23, 2000 Dr. Ian Lipkin, professor at UC Irvine's College of Medicine and noted expert on chronic and infectious diseases of the nervous system, has been named the Louise Turner Arnold Chair in the Neurosciences. Lipkin is the first professor to hold the chair, which was established in 1996 by Louise Turner Arnold, a Laguna Beach real estate executive active in business, civic, educational and medical organizations in Orange County. The chair was established to assist medical research projects and provide assistance for young scientists exploring how diseases affect the nervous system, especially as people age. "I'm grateful to Louise Arnold for her generosity in establishing this chair, which will allow further study of how molecular changes in the brain make elderly individuals more vulnerable to certain diseases of the nervous system," said Lipkin. "More chronic disorders affect the elderly than young people, and we are finding evidence that infectious agents like viruses may play a role in the development of these chronic diseases. We hope eventually to be able to develop new therapies to combat these disorders and further understand how the nervous system functions in health and in illness."

Can Viral Infections Cause ALS

http://www.aan.com/press/press/releases/092501_viral.htm

Extractions: AIDS Virus Causes Treatable Form of ALS ST. PAUL, MN - The AIDS virus can cause a form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease, that can improve or even resolve with treatment, according to articles published in the September 25 issue of Neurology, the scientific journal of the American Academy of Neurology. The finding provides new evidence that viral infections may cause some forms of ALS, a topic researchers have been debating for decades. Classic ALS is a progressive disorder. There is currently no cure or treatment that stops or reverses the disease; the one current treatment modestly slows the progress of the disease. "This is exciting news, because if this form of ALS caused by HIV is treatable, then other forms of ALS may be treatable as well," said neurologist Burk Jubelt, MD, of SUNY Upstate Medical University in Syracuse, NY, who wrote an editorial accompanying the Neurology articles. "But more research needs to be done to confirm these results and determine whether there are other viral causes of ALS." In one of the two articles, French researchers studied 1,700 people infected with HIV and with neurological symptoms seen over a 13-year period. Of those, six people developed symptoms of ALS, or motor neuron disease, which is significantly higher than the rate that motor neuron disease occurs in the general population.

http://cebmh.warne.ox.ac.uk/diabetes/patient/living/other/pregnancy/7.html

Extractions: Living with diabetes Pregnancy Viral infections have long been suspected to cause insulin-dependent diabetes. Viruses may directly infect and destroy the beta cells in the pancreas that produce insulin, or they may trigger the onset of diabetes by causing an increased workload on beta cells that are already damaged. Other studies have found that when women contract some viruses (such as rubella or one of a group of enteroviruses) during pregnancy, their children have an increased risk of developing diabetes. Coxsackie B virus One major study has shown that children of mothers who had Coxsackie B virus antibodies in their blood at the time of delivery had an increased risk of developing insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus before the age of 15. This study also provides circumstantial evidence that Coxsackie B might be a cause of diabetes but this type of study cannot prove that Coxsackie B is the cause.
