Guest guest Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 califpacific thanks for thoughts here: The body causes a fever above 101 degrees which stops the telemeres on the ends of the virus from allowing any viral replication. **What is the heat killing mechanism for bacteria infections--how does it help us fight them? Other types of infections like American Babesia? Only if handy. I do not want to presume on your time.

Tests in humans showed it reduced the normal 5 to 7 day course of Flu by 1.5 to 2.5 days. It did not prevent, cure nor reduce the effects of Flu. At best it is a palliative or pain reliever to " treat the symptoms, " but not cure the disease. Most medical doctors mistakenly believe in the " anti-body " response of the immune system as the method by which the body fights viral infections. But not so. The body causes a fever above 101 degrees which stops the telemeres on the ends of the virus from allowing any viral replication. The fever is the body's primary generalized immune system response to any viral infection. Any palliative treatment which reduces the fever of flu infections will prolong the infection and may lead to irreparable damage or death, mostly from the resulting viral pneumonia. But the pneumonia was caused by lowering the fever and allowing uncontrolled viral replication in the lungs. Most cold medications, including aspirin and Tamiflu are in this palliative class.
