Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA) May Be Caused by the Shingles Virus; the CBCD Reviews the Medical Evidence

A study published in the medical journal Neurology found VZV in “74% of temporal arteries pathologically positive for GCA.” (1)

Rochester, NY -- (SBWire) -- 09/09/2015 --"Infected with the varicella zoster virus (VZV)? The CBCD recommends taking Gene-Eden-VIR or Novirin." - Greg Bennett, CBCD

Herpes zoster is a condition caused by a herpes virus. The varicella zoster virus (VZV) causes chickenpox, and later in life the virus can cause herpes zoster (shingles). The authors of a study wrote that "Our analysis, which is the largest to-date, provides compelling evidence that the virus also reactivates in people over 60 in another way, triggering giant cell arteritis. (GCA)" (1) GCA is a condition that causes "an inflammation of the lining of your arteries - the blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood from your heart to the rest of your body. Most often, it affects the arteries in your head, especially those in your temples. For this reason, giant cell arteritis is sometimes called temporal arteritis or cranial arteritis." (2) Those who develop GCA may experience "headaches, jaw pain, and blurred or double vision. Blindness and, less often, stroke are the most serious complications of giant cell arteritis." (2) The Center for the Biology of Chronic Disease (CBCD) recommends that those who have ever had chickenpox take Gene-Eden-VIR or Novirin. The formula of these natural antiviral products was designed to help the immune system target the latent varicella zoster virus.

The formula of Gene-Eden-VIR and Novirin was tested by Hanan Polansky and Edan Itzkovitz from the Center for the Biology of Chronic Disease (CBCD) in two clinical studies that followed FDA guidelines. The studies showed that the Novirin and Gene-Eden-VIR formula is effective against viruses in the herpes family, including HSV-1, HSV-2, the Epstein Barr Virus (EBV), the human cytomegalovirus (CMV), and others. 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 (herpes virus)…reported a safe decrease in their symptoms following treatment with Gene-Eden-VIR." (3) The study authors also wrote that, "We observed a statistically significant decrease in the severity, duration, and frequency of symptoms." (3)

Gene-Eden-VIR and Novirin 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. Note: Novirin has the same formula as Gene-Eden-VIR. However, it contains higher quality and more expensive ingredients.

As noted above, "Shingles is caused by the varicella zoster virus, the same virus that causes chickenpox. After a person recovers from chickenpox, the virus stays in the body in a dormant (inactive) (latent) state. For reasons that are not fully known, the virus can reactivate years later, causing shingles." (4) Research now shows the virus is associated with the development of many other conditions as well.

"Because the shingles virus can be triggered through a decline in the immune system, we recommend taking Gene-Eden-VIR or Novirin. The formula of these natural antivirals was designed to help the immune system target the latent form of the virus." – Greg Bennett, CBCD
