How do dormant viruses (called "latent viruses" by scientists), such as the Human Papillomavirus (HPV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), Cytomegalovirus (CMV), Herpes Simplex virus (HSV), Varicella Zoster virus (VZV), Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), or Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) can cause a major disease, such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, or even obesity, and what can you do to protect yourself against these viruses? To answer this question, we start with a little background in biology, explained in everyday language. To make the information even more accessible, we use the Q&A format.  The questions and answers are based on the highly acclaimed scientific discovery by Dr. Hanan Polansky, first published in his 2003 Purple book entitled: "Microcompetition with Foreign DNA and the Origin of Chronic Disease."  You can read more about the discovery on the publisher's website.

What is a protein?
A protein is a type of molecule found almost everywhere in the body. Proteins participate in virtually every process in our cells.

Where do proteins come from?
Proteins are manufactured by genes, with the assistance of other parts of the cell. Genes are basically assembly lines of proteins, where every gene manufactures a single protein. Like every assembly line, the gene needs raw materials to assemble and technicians to operate the line. The technicians control the gene through its switch board. This board has many buttons, one to start the line, another to stop it, a third to control the rate of production, etc.

Where are the genes located?
The genes are located in the nucleus of every cell.

What is DNA?
DNA, or genetic material, is the name we use to describe the set of all genes in our body. When we try to be more specific we say John Doe's DNA, which means all the genes in John Doe's body. This entire set is found in very cell in our body.

What is a genetic mutation?
A genetic mutation is a crack in the assembly line or in the switch board. This crack can stop the production of proteins, produce misassembled or partially assembled proteins, or change the rate of their production. Today we have methods to identify these mutations or cracks in every gene.

Do the major diseases start with a genetic mutation?
Sometimes, but most often diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and others, are not caused by cracked genes. Research shows that in most cancer patients the body manufactures an abnormal level of some proteins, but the genes that manufacture these proteins are not mutated. Theses genes are not cracked, they are in perfect shape. This surprising observation mystifies many scientists.

What is a virus?
A virus is the smallest and most stripped down form of life. It includes only a set of genes, called viral DNA, and a shell to protect these genes. The virus doesn't have proteins, or cells, only genes and a shell. When, a virus enters a cell, the viral genes plant themselves in the nucleus, where they start to manufacture their proteins.

How does a virus manufacture its proteins?
A virus is a genetic parasite. To manufacture their proteins, the viral genes "steal" the raw materials and technicians from the human genes.

What happens to the human genes when a virus is present?
If the viral genes steal raw material or technicians that are in short supply, the human genes malfunction, which can lead to diseases, like:

What is a latent virus?
A latent virus is a virus that never leaves the body. It co-exists with us for life. Our immune system cannot get rid of it. However, a latent continues to produce some of its proteins, and therefore, in high concentration, distrupts the the production of human proteins in the infected cell, which leads to disease.

Which latent viruses are dangerous?

Dr. Hanan Polansky discovered that fragments of DNA, called N-boxes, can be very dangerous. When foreign N-Boxes enter the body (naturally, or artificially, like through an injection of some treatment), they end up in the nucleus, where they attract scarce genetic resources. It is interesting that all the viruses mentioned above have strong N-boxes in their DNA. In fact, the CMV virus has the strongest N-box known to science. This N-Box is so strong that human genes cannot compete with its power to attract the scarce genetic resources. Sometimes Dr. Polansky compares these fragments of DNA to magnets. Imagine introducing a powerful magnet into the nucleus. What will be the effect of this powerful magnet on the allocation of genetic resources in the nucleus? The weak human N-Boxes have no chance. Poor human genes. Poor host.

When the foreign N-Boxes are part of a virus, the "microcompetition" between the DNA of this virus and the DNA of the human genes can lead to disease, even while the virus is dormant (latent), or while the viral DNA is broken into pieces. As predicted by Dr. Hanan Polansky, many studies found fragments of DNA that belong to these viruses in tumors, clogged arteries (arterial plaque), arthritic joints, etc.

Look at the cover of Dr. Hanan Polansky's Purple book. On the left you see the human DNA. On the right, you see the foreign DNA. In the middle, in a shape of a sphere, you see the scarce genetic material being attracted by the foreign DNA. You don't have to read the book. Just study the cover. Sometimes, you can judge a book by its cover!

Should I be worried?
Almost all of us are infected by some of these viruses. And even if today our immune system controls their numbers, we are not completely protected. The number of these viruses increases with aging, after exposure to X-Ray, cellular, or UV radiation, during stressful events, or when we take certain medications. And when the number of these viruses increases, the risk of developing a major disease also increases.

How can I protect myself against latent viruses?
We recommend taking Gene-Eden-VIR, a natural dietary supplement that boosts the immue system against dormant (latent) viruses.

Gene-Eden-VIR includes five natural ingredients: Green Tea (Camellia Sinensis) Extract, Quercetin, Licorice Extract, Cinnamon Extract, and Selenium. The following table lists the number of scientific papers published on each of these ingredients according to PUBMED as of September 1, 2009.

See a small selection these studies here. After analyzing the clinical and laboratory observations reported in these studies with our proprietary bio-informatics computer program, our scientists concluded that the listed natural ingredients have a strong, broad range (that is, against many viruses), antiviral effect. 

Where can I get Gene-Eden-VIR?

What is the recommended dose?
For full results, Gene-Eden-VIR needs to be taken for at least two months. At the lowest dose, a bottle provides 1-month supply of capsules. Therefore, we recommend starting with a minimum of two bottles. At the highest dose, we recommend to start with a minimum of four bottles.

Gene-Eden-VIR boosts the immune system against latent viruses.
