How does a virus cause a chronic infection?A new study from McGill University provides new insight on how. The molecular mechanism explains how certain viruses, such as HIV and hepatitis C can make immune cells less functional which allows infections to spread ahead of the body's immune response.
The immune cell focused on was the CD8+ T cell. The activity of these cells are modulated by a cytokine chemical called IL-10. "It was discovered that some viruses can increase the production of IL-10, which alters the key glycoproteins on the surface of the CD8+ T cells. It is these glycoproteins that allow the killer T cells to attach to their viral targets. In disrupting this process, the virus can make the immune response less effective resulting in the pathogen gaining valuable time to establish a chronic infection."
In the case of viruses leading to chronic infection, immune cells are essentially receiving the wrong set of orders making them less responsive. Although this relationship has been previously studied, the new research offers unique insights into the way the virus is able to hijack the process in order to establish a chronic infection.
Uncovering this molecular mechanism offers researchers new possible targets for drug therapies that can control infections by increasing the efficacy of our own immune response.

If you answered yes to any of the above, then you would benefit from ozone therapy. Call or email to book. We partner with Empire City Labs. If they accept your insurance - your labs are free and you get a 36 page workup to find the root cause under your condition. We test for toxic mold exposure, Lyme and co-infections, unexplained chronic fatigue, full adrenal and thyroid panels, advanced cardiac panels, food allergies, irritable bowel/leaky gut panels, hormones, heavy metals, viral syndromes, genomics and pharmacogenomic testing for medications to see if you should or should not take certain drugs.
We have advanced ozone therapies to treat your condition. All chronic disease is caused by altered intestinal microbiome or leaky gut and chronic disease utilizes oxygen so you become oxygen depleted. Ozone increases your oxygen utilization so your body can heal rapidly.
We are trained and board-certified in the leading international ozone therapies. I.V. ozone alone or paired with chelation, glutathione, Meyer's cocktails are part of our treatment options.
We have the most advanced ozone equipment from Germany in the world for 10 pass MAH.
We offer bladder, vaginal and rectal ozone insufflation.
