Herpes Remedy, Gene-Eden-VIR, Can Be Effective Against Herpes Related Memory Problems

1 out of 4 women infected with the herpes virus suffer from memory problems. polyDNA’s herpes remedy, Gene-Eden-VIR, helps immune system kill HSV-1, and therefore may be effective in treating memory problems.

Rochester, NY (PRWEB) April 01, 2013

polyDNA researchers have linked the ingredients of Gene-Eden-VIR, an all natural, scientific herpes remedy, with an improvement of cognitive functions. While conducting research into herpes related illnesses, polyDNA found that women with a herpes type 1 infection have a significantly higher risk of developing memory problems and other cognitive issues. [1]

This is even more noteworthy since “60 percent of U.S. men and women between the ages of 14 and 49 carry the herpes simplex type 1 virus.” [2]

Cinnamon is a natural antiviral. [3] Moreover, cinnamon has also been found to naturally boost memory and other cognitive functions by inhibiting tau aggregation and filament formation, which are hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). [4]

Gene-Eden-VIR’s all natural ingredients include cinnamon. In fact, Gene-Eden-VIR contains five all natural antiviral ingredients including cinnamon, selenium, quercetin, and licorice extract.

Mike Evans from polyDNA said “The fact that nature has given us an all natural ingredient that has scientifically been shown to combat both herpes as well as prevent other cognitive problems is amazing. It’s even more amazing since herpes can also cause brain problems. When we developed Gene-Eden-VIR, we knew we wanted it to be a natural remedy with as broad an application as possible. This research shows exactly how Gene Eden can take on two seemingly unrelated illnesses, focus on the source of those illnesses, and then work to combat those illnesses’ origin.”

The public should be aware of the relationship between herpes and cognitive problems and take steps to prevent those problems from arising. polyDNA recommends boosting the immune system against a latent herpes infection through the use the all natural herpes remedy, Gene-Eden-VIR.

A recent post marketing clinical study showed that Gene-Eden-VIR is effective against the latent herpes virus. By helping the body's immune system target the latent herpes virus, people also lower their risk of developing fever blisters, cold sores, or genital herpes symptoms. [5]

Gene-Eden-VIR is highly effective against the latent herpes virus, each ingredient was chosen through a scientific approach. Scientists scanned thousands of scientific and medical papers published in various medical and scientific journals around the world to identify the safest, most effective natural ingredients that target the latent forms of both HSV-1 and HSV-2. [6]

Study: Scientists Discover How Genital Herpes Infects Cells; polyDNA Recommends Natural Herpes Remedy

In a new study, prevention of cellular calcium responses blocked viral entry, and inhibited plaque formation by 90%.

Rochester, NY (PRWEB) April 07, 2013

polyDNA has learned that a new paper underlines the status of recent research into the mechanism that allows the herpes virus to invade human cells. (1) The research showed that “calcium release occurs because the viruses activate a critical cell-signaling molecule called Akt at the cell membrane.” (2)

Professor Herold said “We’ve essentially identified the molecular ‘key’ that herpes viruses use to penetrate cell membranes and infect cells of the human body.”(2)

polyDNA points out that the discovery of how the herpes virus enters human cells is an important step forward in understanding the pathology of the herpes virus. However, an effective therapy that uses this new knowledge could be years away.

Moreover, there are few drugs currently on the market that help prevent genital herpes outbreaks. In addition, one can transmit the herpes virus to one’s partner even while taking one of the few drugs that do exist.

The CDC notes that “Antiviral medications can, however, prevent or shorten outbreaks during the period of time the person takes the medication. In addition, daily suppressive therapy (i.e., daily use of antiviral medication) for herpes can reduce the likelihood of transmission to partners.” (3)

Reducing the likelihood and eliminating the likelihood of transmitting the herpes virus to ones partner are not the same thing.

As WebMD notes, “University of Washington researcher Christine Johnston, MD, and colleagues show that people with no herpes symptoms often shed infectious genital herpes virus -- even while taking very high doses of anti-herpes drugs.” (4)

Thus, polyDNA recommends that people educate themselves about natural alternatives to such chemically manufactured drugs and for which, 73% of users reported a significant decrease in symptoms. (5)

One such natural alternative is Gene-Eden-VIR.

This all-natural product was scientifically designed to help the human body maintain low concentrations of the dormant or latent herpes virus.

Gene-Eden-VIR is highly effective against the latent herpes virus, each ingredient was chosen through a scientific approach. Scientists scanned thousands of scientific and medical papers published in various medical and scientific journals around the world to identify the safest, most effective natural ingredients that target the latent forms of both HSV-1 and HSV-2. (6)

In addition Gene-Eden-VIR recently underwent a post marketing clinical study in which this all natural herpes remedy was found to be extremely safe. In over 3 years on the market, there have been no reported side effects. (5]

New Study: Herpes Remedy, Gene-Eden-VIR, Can Be Effective in Speeding Up Cold Sore Healing Time

In a new study, polyDNA’s antiviral herpes remedy, Gene-Eden-VIR worked to speed healing time of herpes cold sores with over 73% percent of the individuals treated reporting a decrease in their symptoms. [1]

Rochester, NY (PRWEB) April 05, 2013

A new study by researchers at the Center for the Biology of Chronic Disease (CBCD) shows that Gene-Eden-VIR, an all natural, herpes remedy is effective against HSV-1.

This is significant since, “Herpes simplex virus type-1 (HSV-1) is a condition affecting nearly 40% of the US population.” [2] Due to the results of this new study, polyDNA recommends Gene-Eden-VIR against the virus that causes cold sores.

Infected individuals should consider Gene-Eden-VIR since “Prescription drugs are only effective if begun very early, and reduce healing time by 1 to 2 days.” [3]

In fact, these prescription drugs have several drawbacks including:

In contrast, Gene-Eden-VIR is sold online without the need for a doctor’s visit or a prescription. In multiple studies its ingredients were found to be effective against the herpes virus, [5] In addition, this herpes remedy was found to be safe with no side effects and with a significant decrease in the frequency and duration of symptoms. [1]

Gene-Eden-VIR’s ingredients include a patent protected, unique formula of selenium, Camellia Sinesis extract, quercetin, cinnamomum extract, and licorice extract. In addition each bottle is GMP certified.

Celebrities with herpes?

Guest author from our community: Ashley

My plan this week was to write a blog about celebrities with herpes (oral or genital). It was my hope that by putting additional faces (especially famous faces) to this condition, we could feel a sense of camaraderie. I hoped we would be able to see that there are plenty of successful people with herpes and seeing that would give us hope. I underestimated the power and bias of the media. The media is to celebrities with herpes as society is to individuals with herpes. Mean, nasty, hateful, and just plain not nice. I had no idea what I was in for when I started researching for the article. Step one: Google “celebrities with herpes.” Here’s a partial list …

“The judgment about the sex lives of these celebrities with herpes is fascinating. Either they are cast as helpless victims or they are taunted and blamed for their poor judgment and risky sexual behavior.”Anne HecheCheryl CrowDavid BeckhamVictoria BeckhamKatie HolmesAlyssa MilanoJessical BielJessica AlbaMariah CareyScarlett JohanssenDerek JeterRobin WilliamsMichael Vick

The only one that seems to have “come out” of her own accord was actress Anne Heche. She wrote a memoir about her childhood sexual abuse and her acquisition of herpes as a result. All the other celebrities seems to have been “outed” by staff or paparazzi, or as the result of suing a former partner for “infecting” them.

I noticed some disturbing trends in my research for writing this blog article.

First, the victimizing language used in the articles. Jessica Biel, Jessica Alba, Mariah Carey, and Scarlett Johansson are all “alleged victims of Derek Jeter” who, according to these online magazines, has been “infecting” a multitude of Hollywood starlets. You’ll noticed that I used quotation marks just then. It’s because herpes is an annoying skin condition, not a life-threatening illness. (Read the “Power of words“) Yes, it’s yours for life. There is no herpes cure. Neither is there a cure for HPV, the flu, or any other viral infection. Either it goes away, or it stays with you. There’s not much you can do about it. It is not something that has “victims.” Rapists have victims. Murderers have victims. Abusers have victims. One might go so far as to say that cancer has victims. Herpes does not have victims.

Second, the blatant misinformation that is circulating on these websites. Rollingout.com had this gem:

“Even in times when there aren’t any herpes outbreaks, episodes or flare-ups, carriers of the virus must always practice safe sex, even during oral sex, since it can be transmitted from the mouth to the genitals. Condoms must be used consistently and correctly for all sexual encounters, but is not 100 percent foolproof. Imagine having to explain to a potential partner that you have the disease and then sharing the dreadful risks before intimacy — not exactly foreplay.”

There was a great deal of bullshit in that paragraph, so let’s parse it out a bit …

Carriers of herpes do not always have to practice safe sex, especially if they are on suppressive herpes medication and their partners are comfortable with the incredibly low risk of transmission (see the Post-Disclosure Handout on transmission rates). Furthermore, while the virus can be transmitted from mouth to genitals if partner A has oral herpes and partner B is receiving oral sex, if partner A has genital herpes, it CANNOT be passed to partner B via oral sex. That’s a very important distinction. Finally, characterizing it as a disease or “dreadful news” that one must explain to a potential partner keeps the herpes stigma going. Is it a difficult conversation to have? Maybe. Articles like that one make the herpes talk a difficult conversation to have. However, if the partner with herpes is well-informed about the condition itself, the transmission rates, and is willing to avoid skin-to-skin contact with blisters during herpes outbreaks, it can be a very manageable conversation (possibly even a connecting opportunity for deeper intimacy).

The judgment about the sex lives of these celebrities with herpes is fascinating. Either they are cast as helpless victims (Anne Heche) or they are taunted and blamed for their poor judgment and risky sexual behavior. There is a serious amount of sex negativity associated with the transmission of herpes. Writers for these sites seem to delight in the drama that abounds when a celebrity is spotted buying an antiviral medication at the drugstore, or an ex reveals that they were “infected” by their “whoring ex.” Poor Derek Jeter has a flow chart of exes who were alleged “victims” of his sexual proclivities. Maybe Derek Jeter is uninformed. Maybe he’s not on suppressive medication. Maybe he is too afraid to have the herpes talk with his partners because he fears rejection. Let’s not assume that he has nefarious motives or that he is intentionally spreading herpes through Hollywood. Rather than being filled with disgust, as the journalists who wrote these articles clearly are, I am filled with empathy and concern, wondering why someone didn’t explain to him that herpes isn’t so bad, and that it’s okay to talk to partners about it before having sexual contact. I wish someone would tell him that he’s not a herpes perpetrator, he’s most likely just an uninformed person. There are no shortage of those when it comes to herpes in our society. Rather than assigning blame or fault, which we know to be toxic and counterproductive, let us instead strive to open up about STIs and have “the talk” before becoming intimate with a new partner.

While I was reading these articles, the same thought echoed in my head: No wonder people are afraid to come out, to say “I have herpes.” No wonder there are so many people on our herpes forums who feel like their lives are over because of their diagnosis. Society can be heartless and cruel to people with herpes, and I think this article illustrates that vividly. Rather than let that ruin my evening, however, I am compelled to action. Let’s spread knowledge. Let’s spread acceptance. Let’s spread empathy and support. (Download the poster.) Let’s not spread vicious rumors and sex negative attitudes. Who’s with me?

Cold Sore Virus Linked with Memory Problems

Certain infections, including the one that causes cold sores, may increase the risk of thinking and memory problems in older adults, a new study suggests.

People in the study who'd suffered more viral and bacterial infections in the past, including infection with herpes simplex type 1 virus (HSV1), which causes cold sores, were at increased risk of scoring below average on a test of cognitive abilities, the researchers said.

The results held even after the researchers took into account factors that could affect people's test scores or brain function, such as age, education level, high blood pressure, diabetes and alcohol consumption.

The findings add to a growing body of evidence linking infections with cognitive function. For instance, previous studies have linked herpes infection with an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease in people with certain genetic mutations.

However, the new study found only an association, and cannot prove these infections were cause of cognitive impairment. It's possible other factors not accounted for by the study could explain the link, said study researcher Dr. Mira Katan of Columbia University Medical Center in New York City. Larger studies in different populations are needed to confirm the results, Katan, a neurologist, said.

Infections and cognitive impairment

Katan and colleagues previously found that past infections were linked with a higher risk of stroke.

The new study involved 1,625 adults around age 70 who lived in northern Manhattan.

Researchers tested participants' blood for evidence of previous infection withHSV1, herpes simplex type 2 (which causes genital herpes infections), cytomegalovirus (a common herpes virus), chlamydia pneumoniae (a respiratory infection that can cause pneumonia) and Helicobacter pylori (a bacteria found in the stomach). These particular infections have been linked with a higher risk of stroke. Those with a higher number of these infections were said to have a higher "infection burden."

They also took a test that measured their cognitive abilities, including attention, memory and language skills.

Participants with a higher infection burden were 25 percent more likely to score below average on the cognitive test.

The link was strongest among women, those with a low socioeconomic status, and those who with low levels of physical activity, the researchers said.

However, infection burden wasn't related to participants' risk of a decline in cognitive scores over time, the researchers said.

Inflammation risk

Infections increase levels of inflammation in the body, which contribute to cognitive impairment as well as stroke, Katan said.

Because exercise can reduce inflammation, it may counteract this risk, Katan said.

Dr. Nunzio Pomara, director of the geriatric psychiatry division at the Nathan S. Kline Institute for Psychiatric Research, in Orangeburg, N.Y., who was not involved in the study said he was "quite happy to see that, at least in some instances, there could be a potentially treatable [cause of] cognitive dysfunction," referring to the fact that infections can be treated or prevented.

However, Pomara said he hoped further studies would explore the link between infections and Alzheimer's disease. The current study did not find a link between infections and the risk of cognitive decline over time, which would be expected to occur in Alzheimer's disease patients, but it could be that participants were not followed for long enough to see a change in their cognition, Pomara said.  

Given the growing evidence for the link between infections and cognitive impairment, studies that attempt to prove the link are worthwhile, Dr. Timo Strandberg of the University of Helsinki in Finland, and Allison Aiello of the University of Michigan, wrote in an editorial accompanying the new study. A first step would be a study that randomly assigns people with Alzheimer's disease to receive an antiviral medication or not, and examines the effect on disease outcome, they said.

The study and editorial are published in tomorrow's (March 26) issue of the journal Neurology.

Pass it on: Past infections are linked with an increased risk of cognitive impairment.

Genital Herpes Makes it Easier to Contract HIV; polyDNA Monthly Survey Results Show Public isn't Aware of Facts

During one particular study, having prior genital-herpes infection increased the risk of acquiring HIV by 80%.

Rochester, NY (PRWEB) March 25, 2013

With results of a monthly survey in, polyDNA has learned that individuals are not aware that a genital herpes infection can make it easier to become infected with HIV.

In fact, the CDC notes on its website that “Genital herpes can cause sores or breaks in the skin or mucous membranes (lining of the mouth, vagina, and rectum). The genital sores caused by herpes can bleed easily. When the sores come into contact with the mouth, vagina, or rectum during sex, they increase the risk of HIV transmission if either partner is HIV-infected.”[1]

During one particular study, having prior genital-herpes infection increased the risk of acquiring HIV by 80%. [2]

Conversely, those with HIV and genital herpes are more infectious than those with HIV alone. In a new paper published this year in PLoS One, researchers said “Clinical herpes was associated with higher levels of genital HIV shedding….” [3]

The authors of the study noted that their findings were “consistent with results from a study carried out in Bangui, Central African Republic, where …(the study found) a significant correlation between genital HIV RNA shedding and genital shedding of HSV.” [4]

They concluded that their “study adds to the accumulating evidence that HSV-2 infection increases genital shedding of HIV, and may therefore increase the infectivity of HIV….”

What does this mean?

In simple terms, the authors of these studies say that genital herpes increases the risk of contracting HIV. They also suggest that those with HIV and genital herpes shed the virus more, and infect others more easily.

The public should be aware of the relationship between genital herpes and HIV and should take precautions to prevent an HSV infection. polyDNA recommends boosting the immune system against a latent herpes infection through the use of a scientific, all natural remedy. That remedy is Gene-Eden-VIR. A recent post marketing clinical study showed that Gene-Eden-VIR is effective against the latent herpes virus. [5]

This all-natural product was scientifically designed to help the human body maintain low concentrations of the dormant or latent herpes virus.

By helping the body’s immune system target the latent herpes virus, people also lower their risk of developing fever blisters, cold sores, or genital herpes symptoms.

Gene-Eden-VIR is highly effective against the latent herpes virus, each ingredient was chosen through a scientific approach. Scientists scanned thousands of scientific and medical papers published in various medical and scientific journals around the world to identify the safest, most effective natural ingredients that target the latent forms of both HSV-1 and HSV-2. [6]

In addition, each bottle is GMP Certified.

Einstein Study Reveals New Approach for Stopping Herpes Infections

BRONX, N.Y., March 25, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Researchers at Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University have discovered a novel strategy for preventing infections due to the highly common herpes simplex viruses, the microbes responsible for causing genital herpes (herpes simplex virus 2) and cold sores (herpes simplex virus 1). The finding, published online by The FASEB Journal, could lead to new drugs for treating or suppressing herpes virus infections.

(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120531/DC16559LOGO)

"We've essentially identified the molecular 'key' that herpes viruses use to penetrate cell membranes and infect cells of the human body," said Betsy Herold, M.D., professor of pediatrics (infectious diseases), of microbiology & immunology and of obstetrics & gynecology and women's health at Einstein and attending physician of pediatrics, The Children's Hospital at Montefiore.

Herpes viruses are known to infect skin cells as well as cells lining the cervix and the genital tract. A 2006 JAMA study estimates that nearly 60 percent of U.S. men and women between the ages of 14 and 49 carry the HSV-1 virus. The CDC estimates that about 1 in 6 Americans (16.2 percent) between 14 and 49 are infected with herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2), according to a 2010 national health survey. HSV-2 is a lifelong and incurable infection that can cause recurrent and painful genital sores and can make those infected with the virus two-to-three times more likely to acquire HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.

Dr. Herold and her colleagues had previously shown that infection by the herpes viruses depends on calcium released within the cells. In this study, they found that calcium release occurs because the viruses activate a critical cell-signaling molecule called Akt at the cell membrane.

As part of their investigation of Akt's role in herpes infections, the researchers took laboratory cultures of those human cell types and mixed them for 15 minutes with four different drugs known to inhibit Akt. The cells were then exposed for one hour to herpes simplex virus 2. All four drugs significantly inhibited herpes virus infection in each of the cell types. By contrast, cells not pretreated with the Akt inhibitors were readily infected on exposure to the virus.

"For people infected with herpes, the drug acyclovir helps prevent herpes outbreaks from recurring and lowers the risk of transmitting the infection to others," said Dr. Herold. "But some people have herpes infections that don't respond to acyclovir, and unfortunately there is no effective vaccine. So new approaches for suppressing and treating herpes infections are badly needed, and our findings indicate that inhibiting Akt should be a useful therapeutic strategy to pursue."

The paper "HSV activates Akt to trigger calcium release and promote viral entry: novel candidate target for treatment and suppression" was published online by The FASEB Journal. In addition to Dr. Herold, other authors of the paper (all of them at Einstein) were lead author Natalia Cheshenko, Ph.D., Janie B. Trepanier, Ph.D., Martha Stefanidou, Niall Buckley, Pablo Gonzalez and William Jacobs, Jr., Ph.D. The research was supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health (AI-061679) and the Center for AIDS Research at Einstein and Montefiore Medical Center (AI-51519).

Albert Einstein College of Medicine

Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University is one of the nation's premier centers for research, medical education and clinical investigation. In 2012, Einstein received over $160 million in awards from the NIH for major research centers at Einstein in diabetes, cancer, liver disease, and AIDS, as well as other areas.

Study: Anti-Herpes Drug in Development; polyDNA Recommends Natural Herpes Remedy

polyDNA recommends that the public consider Gene-Eden-VIR, a natural herpes remedy with no side effects.

Rochester, NY (PRWEB) March 20, 2013

polyDNA has learned that a new paper spotlights the status of recent antiviral research. (1) In one section of the paper, the authors highlight the state of affairs on anti-herpes medications.

As of March 2013, a helicase-primase inhibitor (HPI) under the generic name of AIC316 and developed by AiCuris has now proceeded to phase I/II clinical trials. According to the research, HPI AIC316 has shown, “excellent efficacy and pharmacokinetics … against HSV-2.” (2)

Maria Hordinsky, MD said “We already have really good drugs — we have acyclovir and valacyclovir — so why do we need a helicase-primase inhibitor? It's all about new choices. The main point here is that some people are developing resistance to the standard treatments, so you need new options.” (3)

polyDNA points out that resistance to acyclovir and valacyclovir is not the only reason helicase-primase inhibitors may be a good option against the herpes virus. Acyclovir for instance is known for its side effects. These can include nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, mental/mood changes, shaky/unsteady movement, and trouble speaking. (4)

The public should be aware of the potential side effects of acyclovir and other anti-herpes medications. polyDNA urges people to educate themselves about natural alternatives to such chemically manufactured drugs. One such alternative is Gene-Eden-VIR.

This all-natural product was scientifically designed to help the human body maintain low concentrations of the dormant or latent herpes virus.

By helping the body’s immune system target the latent herpes virus, people also lower their risk of developing fever blisters, cold sores, or genital herpes symptoms. This is just one reason polyDNA believes Gene-Eden-VIR is an important product.

Gene-Eden-VIR is highly effective against the latent herpes virus, each ingredient was chosen through a scientific approach. Scientists scanned thousands of scientific and medical papers published in various medical and scientific journals around the world to identify the safest, most effective natural ingredients that target the latent forms of both HSV-1 and HSV-2. (5)

Gene-Eden-VIR is extremely safe. It has been on the market for over three years, and in that time, no side effects were reported. Each capsule contains a patented formula of five all natural ingredients including selenium, camellia sinesis extract, quercetin, cinnamomum extract, and licorice extract. In addition, each bottle is GMP Certified.

Gene-Eden-VIR is sold online through the Gene-Eden website. Each bottle of Gene-Eden-VIR (a one month’s supply) costs just $37.99.

Oral Herpes Spread Through Kissing? polyDNA’s Monthly Survey Shows Segment of Public Believes Kissing with Fever ...

Survey Shows 45% of Respondents Believe Kissing with Oral Herpes Lesions “Ok”

Rochester, NY (PRWEB) March 28, 2013

polyDNA recently received answers to its monthly survey regarding the public's knowledge of the herpes virus.

One of the questions asked was, "If you have cold sores, do you think it is possible to infect others while kissing?" Amazingly, a significant percentage of the public said "No."

“If you have this sore on your lip or whatever, and it’s going away, well then it’s going away, right? Nobody wants to kiss you when you have a nasty, open cold sore where everyone can see it, but when it’s on the way out? Your body killed it, you know. It’s gone. You ain’t going to spread it to nobody.” –Shauna B., Charlotte, N.C.

The truth is exactly the opposite however. polyDNA’s survey found that the respondents did not realize that, “The virus is spread from person to person by kissing, by close contact with herpetic lesions, or even from contact with apparently normal skin that is shedding the virus. Infected saliva is a common means of virus transmission.” [1]

Additionally, the respondents had no clue that, “About 50 percent to 80 percent of US adults have oral herpes. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), by age 50, approximately 90 percent of adults have been exposed to the virus…The herpes lesions typically last a week to 10 days and most often occur around the lips, oral mucosa, and/or tongue.” [2]

Mike Evans, from the polyDNA said, "It's amazing. The very idea that so many people have no real clue as to how oral herpes is transmitted is incredible. The fact is though, the majority just doesn’t know."

polyDNA believes that because of the ignorance revealed in its survey, the public should be aware of the relationship between kissing and the spread of oral herpes (HSV-1). In addition, the biotechnology firm recommends boosting the immune system against a latent herpes infection through the use of a scientific, all natural remedy. That remedy is Gene-Eden-VIR.

A recent post marketing clinical study showed that Gene-Eden-VIR is effective against the latent herpes virus. By helping the body's immune system target the latent herpes virus, people also lower their risk of developing fever blisters, cold sores, or genital herpes symptoms. [3]

Gene-Eden-VIR is highly effective against the latent herpes virus, each ingredient was chosen through a scientific approach. Scientists scanned thousands of scientific and medical papers published in various medical and scientific journals around the world to identify the safest, most effective natural ingredients that target the latent forms of both HSV-1 and HSV-2.

Can Genital Herpes Spread in the Body? polyDNA Surveys the Public Knowledge

polyDNA answers new questions on herpes, HSV, herpes virus, genital sores, etc. collected from the public in its March, 2013 survey.

Rochester, NY (PRWEB) March 13, 2013

Genital herpes can spread from one area in the body to another via touching active lesions, as well as through oral sex.

One survey respondent commented, “I mean I don’t know…can herpes really travel from one spot on your genitals to say, your legs or someplace else on your body? Sometimes I get sores and they’re not always in the same spot.” – Maria from Queens, NY

polyDNA would like to point out that several health authorities have shown that genital herpes can spread from the genital region elsewhere.

Dr. Thomas Nesbitt said, “Herpetic auto-inoculation from one part of the body to another is always possible but not always predictable. Herpetic infections can spread from one portion of the body to another, for example, from an active genital lesion to the eyes by one’s own hands.” (1) Dr. Nesbitt served as Clinical Microbiology Consultant to St. Joseph Mercy Hospital, Ann Arbor. He is currently self-employed as a Microbiologist Consultant.

This means that it is normal for herpes outbreaks to sometimes jump around the general area, even by several inches, and that a person can potentially spread herpes from their genitals to other body parts.

However, this is rare.

In a study using a central Kentucky medical center population over a six year period, “HSV-2 was isolated from only 9.4% of patients with nongenital HSV for the entire 6-year period.” (2)

Thus, while spreading HSV-2 to multiple body locations is rare, it can happen.

Mike Evans, from the Center for the Biology of Chronic Disease (CBCD) said, “Many people are completely horrified when they get a diagnosis of herpes infection. That’s despite the fact that the CDC says that most people with a herpes infection don’t even know they have an infection. Do outbreaks jump around on a person? Lots of people are ignorant of the facts and they need these facts to help them cope with their fears.”

After an initial period of activity where there can be up to five major outbreaks in a year, herpes establishes what scientists call a latent infection. When a virus is latent, it acts as if it is asleep or dormant. The moment the immune system is weakened, however, the herpes virus can “wake up” and become active again.

The best defense against a latent herpes infection is a healthy immune system.

polyDNA would like to point out a herpes remedy that boosts the immune system and helps target the dormant (latent) HSV virus.

“The key to your health is to reduce the level of the chronic viruses in your body to harmless levels.” – Dr. Hanan Polansky

The name of that herpes remedy is Gene-Eden-VIR. This all-natural product was scientifically designed to help the human body maintain low concentrations of the dormant or latent herpes virus.

By helping the body’s immune system target the latent herpes virus, people also lower their risk of developing fever blisters, cold sores, or genital herpes symptoms. This is just one reason polyDNA believes Gene-Eden-VIR is an important product.

Gene-Eden-VIR is highly effective against the latent herpes virus; each ingredient was chosen through a scientific approach. Scientists scanned thousands of scientific and medical papers published in various medical and scientific journals around the world to identify the safest, most effective natural ingredients that target the latent forms of both HSV-1 and HSV-2. (3)

Gene-Eden-VIR is extremely safe. It has been on the market for over three years, and in that time, no side effects were reported. Each capsule contains a patented formula of five all natural ingredients including selenium, camellia sinesis extract, quercetin, cinnamomum extract, and licorice extract. In addition, each bottle is GMP Certified.

Gene-Eden-VIR is sold online through the Gene-Eden website. Each bottle of Gene-Eden-VIR (a one month’s supply) costs just $37.99.
