Chinese Cure For Herpes

Science: It Works

In light of the fact that the past week or four have been politically asinine, I thought it would be nice to take a detour from our usual musings on politics, economics, and whatnot. I’ve chosen instead to focus my attention today on a topic that has never once let me down like ridiculous budget deals and underwhelming elections so frequently do, and that topic is science. In just a few short weeks, we’ve had announcements of mind blowingly important discoveries ranging from water on Mars to an almost unbelievable cure all for viruses that doesn’t seem to be possible. With this much progress taking place it’s hard to believe that these magnificent scientific developments aren’t on the front page of all of the important blogs and newspapers.

On 10 August 2011, researchers at MIT’s Lincoln Lab  announced  that they had developed a technology that could essentially cure all viruses. This new technology has been tested on the common cold, the swine flu (I’m sticking with the laymen’s name, but you can call it H1N1 if you want), a stomach virus, and twelve other viruses. According to Todd Rider, a senior staff scientist at the Lincoln Laboratory, “in theory, it should work against all viruses.” This means that the technology, known as DRACO (double-stranded RNA activated caspase oligomerizers), could potentially wipe out HIV, HPV, Herpes, Ebola, Smallpox, SARS, etc. I’m no scientist, but if you’d like to see one describe how this works, read the article above; or you can take my word for it that this is absolutely brilliant.

Elsewhere in the scientific community, scientists working for NASA/JPL and the University of Arizona have  announced  the discovery of  potential flowing water  on the surface of Mars during the warmest months. As anyone who is familiar with junior high-level science knows, this is a truly monumental landmark find. In the search for extra-terrestrial life, the existence of free flowing water is thought to be essential. This means that the possibility of actual life being discovered within our lifetimes is actually conceivable. Earth, Mars, possibly Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto, all have at least water ice, and potentially liquid water. The odds of finding other life in the solar system, not on Earth, now seem to be climbing rapidly. Even if that doesn’t happen, this will still make it easier for humans to explore and colonize space. If you’re wondering why human space exploration is important, look  here .

What is the scienctific logic behind Chinese treatment of herpes by ...

I would be hesitant to say you had a herpes 1 or 2 infection at that site if it left a scar – coldsores or genital herpes rarely – and I do mean rarely, leaves scarring. Its not in the nature of that virus (chicken pox on the other hand, is a herpes virus, and can (simplex 4 if memory serves me right)

Anyhow, the logic has to do with a very illogical system based on the idea that you have excessive moist cold wind, and the way to dispell a moist cold wind excess is to apply dry heat. Or is it hot metal? Dunno, its not a very logical system – its based on supersition, myth and lore, and not upon emperical (scientifically tested) principles….
