How Herpes Virus Alters Our DNA



A new study has revealed one of the mechanisms Herpes Simplex Virus I (HSV-1) uses to replicate effectively in a host cell.  As a reminder, HSV is a widespread virus in the U.S., which is known to cause cold sores.  A latent infection, HSV remains in the body (residing in nerve cells near the ear, lower lip, or face) even after symptoms subside, and symptoms may reemerge periodically.

The study found that HSV-1 is able to interfere in telomere functioning.  Telomeres flank the ends of chromosomes and consist of repeated DNA units that prevent a chromosome from damage during mitosis, since replication normally results in the loss of a few nucleotides on the ends of a chromosome.  HSV-1 specifically inhibits and alters TPP1, resulting in a loss of one of these repeating units.  This inhibition increases the effectiveness of HSV-1 replication.

The implications of this study are that telomeres can be targets that viruses use to more effectively replicate, and that telomere proteins such as TPP1 can have a protective effect during viral infection. Combined with the fact that telomere length has already been implicated in disease risk, this study raises the possibility that novel drugs or treatments that preserve telomere length during viral infection may hamper the ability of a virus to replicate.

I’m here to testify about what DR. ISIBOR did for me. I have been suffering from (GENITAL HERPES VIRUS) disease for the past 3 years and had constant pain and inching, especially in my private part. During the first year, I had faith in God that i would be cured someday.This disease started circulating all over my body and I have been taking treatment from my doctor, few weeks ago I came across a testimony of Rose Smith on the internet testifying about a Man called DR. ISIBOR on how he cured her from 7 years HSV 2. And she also gave the email address of this man, advise anybody to contact him for help on any kind of diseases that he would be of help, so I emailed him telling him about my (HSV 2) he told me not to worry that I was going to be cured!! Well, I never doubted him I have faith he can cure me too,, DR. ISIBOR prepared and sent me Healing Oil, Soap, roots and herbs which I took. In the first one week, I started experiencing changes all over me, after four weeks of using his Roots/ Herbs, Oil and Soap, I was totally cured. no more inching , pain on me anymore as DR. ISIBOR assured me. After some time I went to my doctor to do another test behold the result came out negative. So friends my advise is if you have such disease or know anyone who suffers from it or any other disease like HPV, HIV, ALS, CANCER etc. you can contact DR. ISIBOR for help via email} drisiborspellhome@gmail.com or call +2348107855231

Happiness is all i see now I never thought that I will be cured from HERPES virus again. I have been suffering from a deadly disease (HERPES) for the past 3 years now, I had spent a lot of money going from one places to another, from churches to churches, hospitals have been my home every day residence. Constant checks up have been my hobby not until this faithful day, I was searching through the internet, I saw a testimony on how DR agaba helped someone in curing his HERPES disease, quickly I copied his email which is Dragabasolutionhome@gmail.com just to give him a test I spoke to him, he asked me to do some certain things which I did, he told me that he is going to provide the herbal cure to me, which he did, then he asked me to go for medical checkup after some days after using the herbal cure, behold I was free from the deadly disease, he only asked me to post the testimony through the whole world, faithfully am doing it now, please brothers and sisters, he is great, I owe him in return. if you are having a similar problem just email him on : Dragabasolutionhome@gmail.com or WhatApp: +2349074536486
