Study: Pain Medications are Mostly Ineffective against Shingles; CBCD Highlights Two Natural Remedies against the Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV)

Rochester, NY (PRWEB) August 11, 2014

“Infected with the Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV)? The CBCD recommends taking Novirin or Gene-Eden-VIR.” – Greg Bennett, CBCD

Patients who develop shingles experience neuropathic pain. Dr. Casale and colleagues defined this pain as “arising as a direct consequence of a lesion or a disease affecting the somatosensory system.” (1) Dr. Casale is from the Department of Clinical Neurophysiology and Pain Rehabilitation Unit, Foundation Salvatore Maugeri, in Pavia, Italy. This pain can considerably affect quality of life for patients. (1) Neuropathic pain is also called post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN), and it is the most common symptom of herpes zoster (shingles). (See Patient.co.uk, last checked February 5, 2013) (2) Despite the fact that up to 5% of the population develops PHN, “treatment of neuropathic pain continues to be challenging due to the inadequate effectiveness of systemic therapies and their frequent central side effects.” (1) In other words, pain medications that work on the whole body, are largely ineffective against PHN. The CBCD believes this is why people need a remedy that targets the latent Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) that causes Shingles.

“Herpes zoster (HZ), commonly called shingles, is a distinctive syndrome caused by reactivation of varicella zoster virus (VZV). This reactivation happens whenever immunity to VZV declines as a result of aging or immunosuppression (a damaged immune system). Herpes zoster will happen at any age yet commonly affects the elderly population. Postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), defined as pain persisting over 3 months.” (See Mayo Clinic Proceedings, from March 2009) (3) The CBCD points out that when the immune system is damaged, a latent virus, such as VZV, can increase in number, causing shingles and post-herpetic neuralgia.

The CDC notes that “Nearly 1 out of every 3 people in the United States will develop shingles in their lifetime. Anyone who has had chickenpox or received chickenpox vaccine in the past may develop shingles.” (See CDC, last updated May 1, 2014) (4)

The CBCD recommends that people who have had chickenpox in the past take Novirin or Gene-Eden-VIR. The formula of these natural antiviral products was tested by Hanan Polansky and Edan Itzkovitz from the CBCD in two clinical studies that followed FDA guidelines. The studies showed that the Gene-Eden-VIR and Novirin formula is effective against herpes viruses (like VZV), and other viruses. The clinical studies were published in the peer reviewed, medical journal Pharmacology & Pharmacy, the first, in a special edition on Advances in Antiviral Drugs. Study authors wrote that, “individuals infected with a (latent virus) … reported a safe decrease in their symptoms following treatment with Gene-Eden-VIR.” (5) The study authors also wrote that, “we observed a statistically significant decrease in the severity, duration, and frequency of symptoms.” (5)

Both products can be ordered online on the Novirin and Gene-Eden-VIR websites.

Novirin and Gene-Eden-VIR are natural antiviral dietary supplements. Their formula contains five natural ingredients: Selenium, Camellia Sinesis Extract, Quercetin, Cinnamomum Extract, and Licorice Extract. The first ingredient is a trace element, and the other four are plant extracts. Each ingredient and its dose was chosen through a scientific approach. Scientists at polyDNA, the company that invented and patented the formula, scanned thousands of scientific and medical papers published in various medical and scientific journals, and identified the safest and most effective natural ingredients against latent viruses. To date, Novirin and Gene-Eden-VIR are the only natural antiviral products on the market with published clinical studies that support their claims.

How long does Shingles pain last?

“In most cases, the rash and pain (of Shingles) lasts two to four weeks, but up to one person in five develops postherpetic neuralgia. The pain can be intense and has been described as a burning or stabbing sensation, in some cases feeling like an electric shock. Many people with postherpetic neuralgia make a full recovery within a year, but in some cases the nerves do not heal completely and symptoms last for several years or permanently.” (See Neurology, from July, 2014) (6) Moreover, while most people respond to medications, including tricyclic antidepressants, anti-epileptic drugs or opioids to reduce the pain, 40 to 50 per cent only partially respond. (6) This is why people need a remedy that targets the latent virus that causes Shingles.

“The CBCD recommends that people infected with a latent virus like VZV take Novirin or Gene-Eden-VIR. The formula of these all-natural antivirals was designed to help the immune system target the latent virus.” – Greg Bennett, CBCD

A Study Found a Link Between Shingles and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS); polyDNA Recommends Gene-Eden-VIR and Novirin to Reduce Fatigue Linked to a Viral Infection

Rochester, NY (PRWEB) May 21, 2014

Many studies found a link between Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) and the Epstein Barr Virus (EBV). Now, a new study found a link between the varicella zoster virus (VZV), the virus that causes Chickenpox and Shingles, and CFS. “This study evaluated the association between herpes zoster (HZ) infection and the risk of CFS, and examined the possibility of patients developing postviral fatigue effects, including the possibility of developing other unexplainable chronic fatigue conditions (1).” The study found that “the HZ cohort showed a significantly higher cumulative incidence rate of developing CFS than the non-HZ patients (1).” polyDNA recommends that individuals who have had Chickenpox or Shingles talk to their doctors about Gene-Eden-VIR and Novirin. The antiviral formula of these natural products was shown to reduce viral symptoms, including fatigue, in two post-marketing clinical studies that followed FDA guidelines.

Another study suggested that “Virtually all CFS symptoms could be produced by an infection of the peripheral ganglia (a group of nerve cell bodies located in the peripheral nervous system), with infection of the autonomic ganglia (a cluster of nerve cell bodies (a ganglion) in the autonomic nervous system), causing fatigue, postural hypotension, and sleep disturbances, and infection of the sensory ganglia causing sensory symptoms such as chronic pain. Furthermore, infections of the peripheral ganglia are known to cause long-term nerve dysfunction, which would help explain the chronic course of CFS.” (See The Middle East Molecular Biology Congress & Exhibition, from 2009) (2). In addition, “VZV is known to frequently reactivate in the peripheral ganglia of previously healthy adults and cause sudden, debilitating illness, making it a likely candidate as a cause of CFS. Moreover, many of the symptoms of CFS overlap with those of herpes zoster (Shingles), with the exception that painful rash is not one of the symptoms of CFS (2).”

To make things worse, “Co-infection with multiple herpesviruses is a possibility, as some CFS patients show signs of infection with other herpesviruses including Epstein-Barr, Cytomegalovirus, and HHV6. These three herpesviruses can attack immune cells, and may therefore promote neurotropic herpesvirus reactivation in the ganglia (2).” In other words, an infection with one or more of these herpesviruses, including VZV, may contribute to the development of CFS.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is a “devastating disease that still puzzles doctors, and only a fraction of sufferers are properly diagnosed. Once derided as ‘yuppie flu,’ CFS actually cuts across all races and economic groups. But it still battles a heavy stigma, and research funding is scarce. Thirty years after its first discovery, there is no single diagnostic test and no treatment.” (See AlJazeera.com, from January 3, 2014) (3).

CFS usually occurs during the latent phase of a viral infection, which follows an active infection. “Almost all patients reported a previous infection as the onset of fatigue symptom.” (See the International Journal of Pediatrics, from 2013) (4). Moreover, “Almost all patients reported themselves to be previously healthy prior to their fatigue and also ascribed the onset due to an infection (4).”

“We recommend that patients with severe fatigue talk to their doctors about Gene-Eden-VIR and Novirin. The formula of these natural antivirals was shown to reduce fatigue in patients with a viral infection.” – Mike Evans, polyDNA

As far as we know, the only two products currently available that target latent viruses such as VZV (and other latent herpesviruses) are Gene-Eden-VIR, and Novirin.

Novirin shares the same formula as Gene-Eden-VIR. The difference between the two is that Novirin has higher quality, more expensive ingredients. The Novirin/Gene-Eden-VIR formula was tested in two post-marketing clinical studies published in September 2013 and March 2014, respectively, in the peer reviewed medical journal Pharmacy & Pharmacology (5).

Interested individuals can view the two published studies here, http://cbcd.net/Gene-Eden-VIR-Clinical-Study.php and http://cbcd.net/Gene-Eden-VIR-Decreases-Fatigue-Clinical-Study.php.

Up to 70% of those studied reported a decrease in symptoms associated with CMV infection, and users of the Novirin/Gene-Eden-VIR formula experienced an increase in overall health (5).

Each ingredient of Novirin 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 highest quality, safest, most effective natural ingredients that target latent viruses.

A second clinical study showed that the Novirin/Gene-Eden-VIR formula decreased physical and mental fatigue. (See Pharmacology & Pharmacy, from March, 2014) (6).

polyDNA is a biotechnology company that develops dietary supplements using the unique scientific method developed by Dr. Hanan Polansky, which is based on Computer Intuition.

In addition to his unique scientific method, Dr. Polansky published the highly acclaimed scientific discovery, called Microcompetition with Foreign DNA. The discovery explains how foreign DNA fragments, and specifically, DNA of latent viruses, cause most major diseases.

polyDNA developed Novirin, an antiviral natural remedy that helps the immune system kill latent viruses.
