Unfortunately, Laura…

Description or Technology: Gene therapy is an experimental technique that uses gens to help prevent or cure/treat diseases found in the body. It changes the expression of how a person’s genes function. This technique is the future of allowing doctors to use a corrected gene by simply inserting it into the patient’s cells to treat disorders and help make the organs work properly. This minimizes the need to use drugs or perform surgery. This technique is risky, and is still undergoing…

Highlands Ranch, CO, June 22, 2012 Dr. Chad Prusmack, through his nutraceutical company PruTectRx, has been authorized by T.A. Sciences to prescribe the telomerase activator, TA-65. Popularized by Suzanne Somers in her book, Bombshell: Explosive Medical Secrets that Will Redefine Aging, TA-65 has been shown to lengthen telomeres in DNA strands, which can help slow aging, hinder the development of cancer and decrease genomic instability. TA-65 is only available through authorized,…

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a very common virus that can cause mild cold-like symptoms in adults and older healthy children. This virus causes serious respiratory problems in infants, especially those infants which are born prematurely, who have diseases of the heart or lung, or those who are immunocompromised. The virus can live for a half an hour or more on hands and live for up to five hours on countertops or for several hours on used tissues. An RSV infection begins with the…

Pox virus is a double DNA virus that is best characterized by lesions that appear on the skin. The virus is identified using an electron microscope to find the brick shaped virions (King 2012). The use of Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) can identify which subfamily and genus the strand of pox virus is classified under. The family Poxviridae can be split into two subfamilies Chordopoxvirinae (vertebrate pox virus) and Entomopoxvirinae (insect pox virus) (Bracht et al 2005, King 2012). The…
