home:diseases:acute_respiratory [06.05.2011] – [Read more] paulalberthome:diseases:acute_respiratory [07.11.2014] – [Read more] add article about gene manipulation by cold virus... might want to think about another page in the KB about viruses. The "Microbes" page is all about bacteria. joyful

 Patients who remain unsure if they have an acute infection should consult their physician. A physician can diagnose most acute infections after a history and physical exam. In some cases, further tests may be ordered. For example, the back of the throat may be swabbed if strep throat is suspected. This swab test, called a throat culture, can check for the bacteria that cause this infection. A blood test called an antibody titer may be done if certain infections are suspected. A chest X-ray may be ordered to make sure pneumonia, a more serious infection deep in the lungs, is not present. Other tests may be ordered in certain cases. Patients who remain unsure if they have an acute infection should consult their physician.

 The MP tends to make no difference to the course of a common cold. The Vitamin D Receptor, which is activated by the Marshall Protocol, transcribes at least several genes, which are important for fighting viruses. The MP tends to make no difference to the course of a common cold.

You might blame the human rhinovirus (HRV), which causes 30 to 50 percent of common colds. But in reality, it's not the virus itself but HRV's ability to manipulate your genes that is the true cause of some of the most annoying cold symptoms. For the first time, researchers have shown that HRV hijacks many of your genes and causes an overblown immune response that ends up with your nose being overblown.
