Virus

Dengue fever, also known as breakbone fever, is an infectious tropical disease caused by the dengue virus. Dengue is carried and transmitted by the mosquito. Typically, people infected with dengue virus are asymptomatic (80%) or only have mild symptoms such as an uncomplicated fever. Others have more severe illness (5%), and in a small portion it is life-threatening. The incubation period (time between exposure and onset of symptoms) ranges from 3–14 days with the most common being 4–7 days. Travelers returning from endemic areas are unlikely to have dengue if fever or other symptoms begin more than 14 days after arriving home.

The characteristic symptoms of dengue are sudden-onset fever, headache (typically located behind the eyes), muscle and joint pains, and a rash. The alternative name for dengue, "break-bone fever", comes from the associated muscle and joint pains. The course of infection is divided into three phases: febrile, critical, and recovery.

The febrile phase involves high fever, often over 40 °C (104 °F), associated with generalized pain and a headache, usually lasting two to seven days. During this stage, a rash occurs in approximately 50–80% of those with symptoms. If it occurs in the first or second day of symptoms, you will experience flushed skin, later in the course of illness (days 4–7), you develop a measles-like rash. Some petechiae (small red spots that do not disappear when the skin is pressed, which are caused by broken capillaries) can appear at this point, as well as some mild bleeding from the mucous membranes of the mouth and nose. The fever itself is classically biphasic in nature, breaking and then returning for one or two days, although there is wide variation in how often this pattern actually happens.

In some people, the disease proceeds to a critical phase, which follows the resolution of the high fever and typically lasts one to two days. During this phase there may be significant fluid accumulation in the chest and abdominal cavity due to increased capillary permeability and leakage. This leads to depletion of fluid from the circulation and decreased blood supply to vital organs. During this phase, organ dysfunction and severe bleeding, typically from the gastrointestinal tract, may occur. Shock (dengue shock syndrome) and hemorrhage (dengue hemorrhagic fever) occur in less than 5% of all cases of dengue. However, those who have previously been infected with other serotypes of dengue virus ("secondary infection") are at an increased risk.

The recovery phase occurs last, with absorption of the leaked fluid into the bloodstream. This usually lasts two to three days. The improvement is often striking, but there may be severe itching and a slow heart rate. During this stage, fluid overload may occur. If it affects the brain, it can cause a reduced level of consciousness or seizures.

Dengue can occasionally affect several other body systems, causing its own set of symptoms in addition to the classic dengue symptoms. A decreased level of consciousness occurs in 0.5–6% of severe cases, which is attributable either to infection of the brain by the virus or indirectly as a result of impairment of vital organs, for example, the liver. Other neurological disorders have been reported in the context of dengue, such as transverse myelitis and Guillain-Barré syndrome. Infection of the heart and acute liver failure are among the more rare complications.

The incidence of dengue fever has increased dramatically since the 1960s, with around 50–100 million people infected annually. If you are traveling to an area where you may be exposed to this condition, consider the Dengue Remedy along with the Mosquito Detox remedy.

Coxsackieviruses are part of the enterovirus family that thrive in the human digestive tract. They are very contagious and can spread from person to person, usually on unwashed hands and surfaces contaminated by feces, where they can live for several days. In most cases, coxsackieviruses cause mild flu-like symptoms and go away without treatment. Coxsackievirus can produce a wide variety of symptoms. Nearly half of all kids infected with coxsackievirus have no symptoms. Those that have symptoms develop high fever, headache, and muscle aches. Some also develop a sore throat, abdominal discomfort, or nausea. A child with a coxsackievirus infection may simply feel hot but have no other symptoms. In most children, the mild fever lasts about 3 days and then disappears.

The most well known Coxsackie A disease is Hand, Foot and Mouth disease (unrelated to foot and mouth disease), a common childhood illness which affects mostly children aged 10 or under, often produced by Coxsackie A16. In most cases infection is asymptomatic or causes only mild symptoms. In others, infection produces short-lived (7–10 days) fever and painful blisters in the mouth (a condition known as herpangina), on the palms and fingers of the hand, or on the soles of the feet. There can also be blisters in the throat and on or above the tonsils.

Occasionally, coxsackieviruses can cause more serious infections that may need medical attention. These include:

• Viral meningitis, an infection of the meninges (the three membranes that envelop the brain and spinal cord).
• Encephalitis, a brain infection.
• Myocarditis, an infection of the heart muscle.

Newborns can be infected from their mothers during or shortly after birth and are more at risk for developing serious infection, including myocarditis, hepatitis, and meningoencephalitis (an inflammation of the brain and meninges). In newborns, symptoms can develop up to 2 weeks after birth.

It is more effective to use the Enterovirus Detox Remedy and address the entire Entero family of viruses than to target just the Coxsackie sub-family. Thus the Entero Detox Remedy has been listed as the remedy of choice here.

Coronaviruses primarily infect the upper respiratory and gastrointestinal tract of mammals and birds. The most publicized human coronavirus is SARS, which has a unique pathogenesis because it causes both upper and lower respiratory tract infections and can also cause gastroenteritis. Coronaviruses are believed to cause a significant percentage of all common colds in human adults. Transmission is thought to be aerosol, which means person to person transmission through air. It can survive up to 24 hours on metal surfaces, so steam sterilization of an environment should be considered to neutralize the virus.

UPDATE August 2021:
This Corona Remedy is a homeopathic-style remedy designed to help the body fight off every strain and variant in the Corona genre. In 2020 when we were first told there was a Corona Pandemic, we published this protocol >> Coronavirus Protocol. Not a single person that used the protocol had any trouble recovering. Now in August of 2021 we see people getting very sick again and the same protocol is not working. The Media is telling everyone that the illness is being caused by a variant, but we are finding that the cause is mostly a Spike Protein build up in the body. The vaccine causes this, and the vaccinated people emit this same protein from their body and inflict the unvaccinated with it. It is a self replicating vaccine. This spike protein has the same inflammatory effect on the vaccinated and non-vaccinated alike. We are currently looking for the best solutions, but the supplement NAC seems to be part of the answer. EMF toxicity seems to exacerbate it, so get your body away from all electronics of all kinds, at least 6' away! IF you can soak in a bath with several cups of epsom salt, then sleep under a mylar blanket ($2 at Walmart camping department) you will heal much faster. Repeat each day with lots of water, herbal teas and make sure you are pooping daily or take coffee enemas.

Coronaviruses also cause a range of diseases in farm animals and domesticated pets, some of which can be serious and are a threat to the farming industry. Economically significant coronaviruses of farm animals include: porcine coronavirus (transmissible gastroenteritis coronavirus, TGE) and bovine coronavirus, both of these cause diarrhea in young animals.

Feline Coronavirus has two forms. Feline enteric coronavirus is a pathogen of minor clinical significance, but spontaneous mutation of this virus can result in feline infectious peritonitis (FIP), a disease associated with high mortality.

There are two types of canine coronavirus (CCoV), one that causes mild gastrointestinal disease and one that has been found to cause respiratory disease.

Mouse hepatitis virus (MHV) is a coronavirus that causes an epidemic murine illness with high mortality, especially among colonies of laboratory mice. Prior to the discovery of SARS-CoV, MHV had been the most studied coronavirus both in vivo and in vitro, as well as at the molecular level. Some strains of MHV cause a progressive demyelinating encephalitis in mice which has been used as a murine model for multiple sclerosis.

Bocavirus is a fairly new virus, in terms of discovery. It is generally found in infants and children that are very sick with acute respiratory tract infections. It has been connected to cough, wheezing, fever, cyanosis (bluish or grayish tint to skin due to lack of oxygen), runny nose, diarrhea and vomiting. Research is not conclusive, but it may be linked to more serious respiratory issues like pneumonia and COPD. Some evidence shows that it may even have a link with some cancers like leukemia.

Since the virus can be detected in high numbers in the respiratory tract and in respiratory secretions of some hospitalized patients, investigators believe the bocavirus is mainly spread to other humans via respiratory secretions. However, it can also be found in stools (diarrhea) and in blood, so these are alternative ways for the virus to spread.

At this point it is not believed that Bocavirus is the primary virus causing the infections because it always seems to be found with other viruses like RSV, Adenovirus, Parainfluenza, Herpes, etc.

If you suspect Bocavirus to be a problem, it has been included as one of the antidotes in the Parvovirus Remedy.

Astroviruses cause gastroenteritis, predominantly diarrhea, usually in children under five years old although it has been reported in adults. Studies show that more than 80% of children between 5 and 10 years old have antibodies to astroviruses, suggesting they have been exposed to it at some point. Occasional outbreaks in schools, nurseries and families have been reported. However, the number of infections may be under-estimated, since the illness is usually mild, and many cases go unreported. The illness is self-limiting, has a short duration and incidences peak in the winter.

Limited information is available on the environmental occurrence of human astroviruses. However, since infected individuals may excrete large numbers of viruses in their feces, they are present in sewage, and contraction of them from sewage-polluted waters can occur. Since viruses only replicate in living host cells no increase in numbers will occur in the environment.

Person to person spread by the fecal-oral route is thought to be the most common route of transmission. Recent work with sensitive assay techniques has shown the prevalence of this virus to be much higher than previously thought. It is endemic all over the world, second only to Rotavirus as a cause of childhood diarrhea.

Adenovirus is a group of viruses responsible for a spectrum of respiratory disease as well as infection of the stomach and intestine (gastroenteritis), eyes (conjunctivitis), bladder (cystitis) and rash. Adenovirus respiratory diseases include a strain of the common cold, pneumonia, croup, and bronchitis. Patients with compromised immune systems are especially susceptible to severe complications of adenovirus infection. Acute respiratory disease (ARD), a disorder first recognized among military recruits during World War II, can be caused by adenovirus infections under conditions of crowds and stress.

It has been labeled the "killer cold virus" because one of the strains (ad14) has sent multiple people to the hospital with pneumonia for several consecutive years.

Adenoviruses are transmitted by direct contact, fecal-oral transmission, and occasionally waterborne transmission. Some types of adenoviruses are capable of establishing persistent asymptomatic infections in the tonsils, adenoids, and intestines. Shedding of the virus can occur for months or years after the initial infection.

Some types of adenoviruses are endemic (constantly present) in certain parts of the world and infection is usually acquired during childhood. Other types of adenoviruses cause sporadic infection and occasional outbreaks. For example, epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (eye infection) is associated with certain adenoviruses. Epidemics of fever with conjunctivitis are associated with waterborne transmission of some adenovirus types, seemingly common around contaminated swimming pools and small lakes.

The clinical spectrum of disease associated with certain adenoviruses depends on the site of infection. For example, infection with adenovirus 7 acquired by inhalation is associated with severe lower respiratory tract disease, while oral transmission of the virus typically causes no disease or mild.

Outbreaks of adenovirus-associated respiratory disease have been more common in the late winter, spring, and early summer. However, adenovirus infections can occur throughout the year.

Viruses are too small to be seen by the naked eye. They are made up of genetic materials (DNA or RNA) surrounded by a protective coat of protein. They are capable of latching onto cells and getting inside them. Viruses cause disease by infecting a host cell and controlling the host cell's synthetic capabilities to produce more viruses. The new created viruses then leave the host cell, sometimes killing it in the process, and proceed to infect other cells within the host.

Most of the time, viral infections are systemic. This means they infiltrate multiple areas of the body or more than one body system at the same time. An example would be influenza (flu) with its symptoms of a runny nose, sinus congestion, cough and body aches, where experiencing pain in just one ear is more likely a bacteria. However, viruses can be localized to one area of the body, as in viral conjunctivitis or pink eye. Rarely are viral infections painful, but some are as in genital herpes and shingles. The pain of viral infections is often described as itching or burning. Some viruses, such as those that cause hemorrhaging (like Ebola), can be lethal.

CAUTION! Do not assume that a virus only causes the known symptoms and diseases commonly associated with them. Within the last couple of decades of testing, Dr. DeHaan has often found that a virus thought to cause one issue in a given area can cause a completely different set of symptoms or disease in another area. Imagine an influenza virus in the connective tissue instead of the respiratory system. That causes some unusual joint problems that mimic arthritis or even Lyme disease. Just because science has not discovered it yet, does not mean it isn’t the case.

Because viruses invade cells, no drugs or medicine have been formulated to kill viruses. The human immune system is the only defense against a viral disease. The Quantum Remedies we offer in this section are designed to assist the immune system in targeting and destroying all viral activity quickly and efficiently. When looking at a virus in a holistic manner, we need to look at a virus as if it were genetic material trying to do an upgrade in our body. It is part of the evolution of microbiology. These remedies have a track record of providing healing results where other treatments have failed because they assist the body in the "upgrade transition" if you will.
