Results showed that five viral families are prevalent in human cancer. These include the Papillomaviridae, Polyomoviridae, Hepadnaviridae, Flaviviridae, and Herpesviridae. Viruses were detected in 7.5 – 98.8% of patients of seven cancers: bladder carcinoma, cervical squamous cell carcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, liver hepatocellular carcinoma, rectum adenocarcinoma, and stomach adenocarcinoma. [Cantalupo PG, Katz JP, Pipas JM. Viral sequences in human cancer. Virology. 2018 Jan 1;513:208-216.] Having found that viral sequences were present in most of the files they analyzed from human tumor databases, the authors pointed out there are two possible explanations: first, a given virus may be present in human tissue because it infects humans, perhaps even contributing to tumorigenesis; and second, the viral detection may be due to an artifact. This seems to ignore additional uncertainties. Such studies showing evidence of a viral presence assume it to be an aggravating factor, a “driver” of malignancy and not necessarily a cause. However, if a low-level, smoldering, virus causes malignant transformation, once that is triggered, it need not continue growing in order for tumors to form and spread, so a low number of virus particles might end up being deadly but disregarded as having an important role if only present in low numbers or below level of detection. Also, there is the limitation that only known viral sequences were searched for, so no novel viruses could even be discovered by this survey.

Behavior such as increased confusion, hallucinations, agitation, dizziness, falls and poor motor skills are often mistaken for early stages of dementia, but all can be caused by a UTI.” Also called delirium, this rapid worsening of the mental state is more common than you’d think. It’s found in nearly 30% of older folks with UTIs.” Are these cases all from bacterial infections or are those people with UTIs showing dementia symptoms a subset with viral infections, either alone or along with bacterial infection as well?ClosedNicola asked 6 months ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers153 views0 answers0 votesA 2018 study estimated that infection triggers roughly half of all cases of delirium in seniors. As for the reason why, scientists suspect a UTI triggers inflammation that can disrupt how our neurons function. And UTIs are the second-most-common type of infection in adults aged 65 and over at hospitals and community-living centers (with lung infections ranked No. 1). What is Creator’s perspective about the frequency of viral vs. bacterial causation?ClosedNicola asked 6 months ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers149 views0 answers0 votesAre viruses at all involved in causing or worsening tooth decay?ClosedNicola asked 6 months ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers169 views0 answers0 votesI found a single published case report of someone with recurrent periodontal disease who was studied and found to have a high Epstein-Barr viral load subgingivally. Antiviral treatment with Valtrex for a period of 10 days reduced the virus to the detection limit and the periodontal disease improved dramatically. The condition was stable when checked a year later and the virus was still barely detectable. [PT Sunde, et al. Patient with severe periodontitis and subgingival Epstein-Barr virus treated with antiviral therapy. J Clin Virol 2008 Jun;42(2):176-8.] Viral screening is not done routinely for patients with chronic gingivitis. Was this a meaningful example of what could be achieved readily with a shift in thinking by periodontists to try an antiviral in patients, especially those with severe chronic gum disease?ClosedNicola asked 7 months ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers139 views0 answers0 votesAs has been conjectured by researchers that pathogenic bacteria from chronic gum disease might find their way to the brain and influence or cause dementia, could chronic viruses from inflamed gums seed virus to cause sites of infection not only in brain, but in other organs and tissues, like the cardiovascular system, kidney, liver, pancreas, thyroid, etc?ClosedNicola asked 7 months ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers125 views0 answers0 votesA recent paper describes a pretty convincing case study of a skin cancer caused by Human Papillomavirus.

What is causing these conditions and what will help her heal?ClosedNicola asked 9 months ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers174 views0 answers0 votesYou told us in a channeling that in about 80% of periodontal disease cases, the chronic gingivitis is actually caused by a virus, and a search of the literature turned up some scientific support of viral involvement in that disorder. A paper by M. Kazi, et al. (J. Clin. Diag. Res., 2015 Jul, Vol-9(7): DC05-DC08) describes that among 75 patients with periodontitis, 81.33% as a group had detectable HSV-1, HSV-2, Epstein-Barr virus, or cytomegalovirus. Although scientifically, this is only showing an association of virus presence, is this actually reflecting true causation of the illness for those patients?ClosedNicola asked 9 months ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers146 views0 answers0 votesScientists studying genetics of bacteria in marine plankton stumbled on a novel species of primitive organism they named Sukunaarchaeum mirabile, after a deity in Japanese mythology, renowned for its small size. Classified as belonging to the domain of Archaea, it lacks all recognizable metabolic pathways, primarily encoding machinery for its replication by a host organism, having less than half the DNA of the smallest archaeal. While some scientists believe viruses are not truly living, you have told us that is a false conclusion. Can this new, most primitive, virus-like entity be considered a life form?ClosedNicola asked 9 months ago • Extraterrestrial Interlopers256 views0 answers0 votes
