Miracle drug discovered that cures any viral infection
The drug — a single, broad-spectrum cure for virtually any viral infection — could be the greatest medical discovery since antibiotics.

Unfortunately even if this were true the pharmaceutical companies and the FDA would make it impossible to come to market. The lobbying funds that they spend to block cures but bring forward drugs for ongoing treatment is the largest of all the lobbying groups in the USA. Cures are a one time cost where treatments are ongoing and much more profitable for the corporations that produce them. If this has a chance of coming out it won't be in America.
One of the comments below suggested that readers look up Jim Hubble. If anyone does, please make sure you do your homework and do not believe just one side of what you read. Here is another side to Hubble's "theories."

This will be fantastic if it proves out. What about the big "C" and HIV? Those are viruses correct?
Think about what the general population thought when penicillin was introduced?
Too good to be true? Maybe like this scientific breakthrough?
Some say cancer is a virus.
I can't escape the feeling that this is some sort of internet hoax. News like this should be motivating Times Square parades and congregations of disciples adorning the streets of MIT. And yet the MSM all seem to be jumping over themselves to report only the most petty political nonsense. Is this real life? I feel funny.
I hope they don't get assassinated or something. Human's cruelty is worse than a virus, somebody get a cure for that.

why was my comment on chelation therapy and ACAM deleted.
Sorry, vic — the system automatically flags certain comments. It should be there now.

DRACO or the dragon makes me think of the guide stones.
WE NEED THIS NOW IN ST. LUCIA. DENGUE FEVER ALREADY KILLED ONE YOUNG GIRL.
there is a way to clear out your heart and arteries. it's called chelation with edta. look up acam for a list of doctors. chelation can also be accomplished with diet high in fruit and vegetables but it takes a little longer. these diet changes should accompany edta treatments also a reduction of unhealthy foods (see John Robins).
This is woderful! thank god we have the mind to find these great discoveries! Like the Polio vac & how it helped so many live a normal life this will be such a blessing
This is another fantastic cure that will never go any further than this article. I recall a new breakthrough in cleaning out the heart and arteries a couple years ago that would act similar to what drano does on your household pipes. Being gullible, I even took the news article to my cardiologist. He stated I would never see it probably in my lifetime. The tests and examinations would take years and years with the cure being dumped with all probability in the end. I just read these articles.... More
The condom industry is now hiring mercenaries to eliminate the man and the cure.
I haven't seen or heard anyone mention HIV what does it do to that virus..
Since they were testing it in mice, they would have to engineer mice that could contract HIV
We're basically going the way of "aliens". Humans will radically keep changing through manipulation and DNA freak research, ultimately we'll all be pasty white larvae-looking beings living in a sterile environment one day.
Why is this not World Breaking News?
because they want their depopulation plan to bring the numbers down first before releasing the cure for many of the reasons why people die...less people better control
These scientists will be quieted and this drug will disapear, they will say that it doesn't work on animals so no testing on humans.. Drug companies don't want a cure. There is no money in a cure. The money is treatment.
This isn't a cure it is a treatment. Drug companies would love this. Anytime anybody has ANY type of virus this drug can be administered at any cost the companies see fit . This is a drug companies wet dream.
As usual, medical psuedo-science is a century late to this party. A French doctor named Lugol invented a liquid form of iodine that kills every VIRUS, bacteria and germ known to man... and it happened in 1880...130 years ago! Oh, btw, it feeds the thyroid and every other organ that secretes a fluid (like the liver, stomach, etc.).
Then there's MMS, the Master Mineral Solution, which kills most of the same microorganisms and detoxifies our cells at the cost of about one dollar a month.... More
The drug companies won't let this drug out to the public, it will put them out of business. and a lot of things happened 130 years ago like Free energy by Tesla and we won't see that ether because of the oil and energy companies. Let us all thank those greedy companies and people who held back progress and science from us for those 130 or so year for the sake of profit and control.

It is a shame that drugs such as these, and free energy will never come to be.We already know this technology exists and has been hidden away from us because of a few greedy , power hungry people who control this world. We will never move forward as a civilization,until these certain groups of people who have been controlling this world for hundreds of years are exposed for what they really are.
I'm betting that our friend todd rider suffers an unfortunate "accident" and his research lost in the near future.
The way I read that article it seems to me that this "drug" is not some kind of vaccine but rather a cure to what someone already has. So, a cure for the common cold it can't be unless one takes it each time you catch a cold. Strangely I think it wouldn't be a good thing because I believe that a "cold" is nature's way to strenghten our natural defenses.
As for the mutan syndrome :P I guess one would need to find out what it does when a woman is pregnant. Still some of the comments.... More
Sounds too good to be true. I hope it works, but beware of unintended consequences. Curing your cold, herpes, warts, and et al could render you untreatable by adult stem cell meathods that rely on viruses to modify your stem cells.
There is no way I am ever taking this drug. Ever.
I guess no one here has watched the film I Am Legend? Watch it..then tell me your still thrilled about this discovery..lol.
But in all seriousness..let's hope this discovery actually makes it out to the market if proven safe. Don't forget folks..there is no profit in cures..only in treating symptoms..and the drug companies would lose billions yearly in medications that only treat symptoms if this drug actually makes it to the public. Just like Universal Healthcare is fought tooth &.... More
There is no such thing as a drug that is good for you. The body can heal itself. google that. see Dr lorraine laura day website. plants and herbs can help. see phoenixtears dot ca website. they made this drug to further harm your body and it won't show up until later.
As one who suffers from medical problems, I find your comment offensive. What conditions did you have that you cured ÿourself"?
Yes the body can heal itself. Thats why the average lifespan has went up from the beginning of time right? Please. If the body could cure itself just by taking a few herbs and plants, we'd all live to be 100. Google it? Seriously, anyone can put anything on the web.
Now am I saying I don't think there are plants and herbs that help? Absolutely not, but to say we can cure everything with just those is a bit ignorant at the least and totally unproven.
I agree. Even though herbs of all kinds are known to treat all sorts of illnesses, man should learn from these in order to enhance natural remedies and cures instead of making artificial form of treatments. natural way is usually the best way. But I'm still trying to find herbs that can treat serious sickness...like aids and cancer and flesh eating diseases.
One word for you CANNABIS
True. Cannabis cures my lack of hunger 100% of the time. However, it has a side-effect, known by its colloquial term, "the munchies." This side-effect has to be treated with large quantities of pizza, potato chips, etc. As it turns out, this drug is not a boon to the pharmaceutical industry, but the fast food industry...
My question is, is this reality really real? This sounds amazing but there are so many fake stories about magical cure alls and cancer killers. I just hope that this is not one of those cases.
What will happen if viruses go dormant..like what happens in Shingles? They simply go into a dormant state in tissues and be reactivated and replicate (only then will they need to produce RNA) after the drug effects wear off? Will this drug increase chronicity of infections?
This discovery brought to you by government funding of research. Thankfully it happened before the budget cutting rage.
(See the PLoS article for details - NIH-NSAID grant #AI057159).
I'm surprised to see no mention of HIV in this article.
I was too, but it also said at the end that it's only been tested on mice, and I don't think mice are suceptible to HIV.
This is fantastic research and news. I don't know if I would count the lowly virus out though. The broad spectrum antibiotics worked very well until the bacteria got "wise".
That was my thought--in testing it looks like they won't go the way of antibiotics, but I wouldn't count on it.
I also wonder whether there is a downside to treating a virus rather than letting natural defenses take the lead roll. Will it lead to other more serious diseases in the future?
On the other hand, I would love to have a safe, effective viral treatment available for both those in life-threatening danger from a virus and of course, the cure for the "common cold." I hope.... More
Incredible. Aren't some cancers virus based?
Cancers can be caused by viruses that mutate the DNA in cells. So yes if the virus is treated before that happens it'll help or to reduce the growth of cancer but it won't treat cancer.
