Do Spirulina Can heal HIV?

In nature, it become food for fish larvae and make the fish growing rapidly because of its high protein content.

 It has high content of chlorophyll, phycocyanin, and carotenoid, also vitamin C, E, and B12. It source of calcium spirulan that has activity as antivirus agent. Because of calcium spirulan antivirus activity, spirulina potential as anti-HIV. Some preliminary research have resulted that spirulina will inhibir replication HIV in human lymphocyte-T cells.

HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) is RNA virus that cause AIDS in human. The virus will enter the body through liquid exchange from the sufferer. If health woman do an risk sex activity with man that positif AIDS, the virus will enter the body of woman by sperms. The vius presence in blood, but don’t presence in sweat and saliva.

AIDS are highly deadly for human, because the virus will destroy lymphocyte-T cells. The cell play important role in immune system, kill the bactery, virus, and other pathogen that enter the body. Without immune system, human body become very fragile and easy to attack by any invader. Light disease that attack AIDS sufferer can cause death.

Calcium spirulan in spirulina known in action to inhibit HIV replication. Without replication, virus can’t doubled itself and make easy for other chemical to kill the virus. But, the use of calcium spirulan in HIV suppressing activity still new and need more research to revealed the thruth. The use of calcium spirulan from spirulina still has potential to heal the AIDS, disease that known very harmfull.

6 Common Diabetes Complications

Diabetes is a condition that someone has high sugar blood level. The condition happen because of broken of pancreas, so the pancreas don't produce insulin in enough ammount. Insulin is hormon used to enter blood sugar into the cells. If the insulin absent from blood, the sugar will still stay in the blood and raising sugar blood level.

Tobacco smoke full of toxin that can increase appearing of many disease, included cancer. Nikotin, tar, and other compounds will broke the cell and do damage to the DNA. Our body have mechanism to repair the damage, but if the damaging factor comes continuesly, our body will out of order and finally rise cancer.

Many virus can infect human body and cause disease. Virus acts by injecting its DNA/RNA to host cell then make its copy in host cell. DNA virus sometimes can changes sequence of host DNA, so the host DNA transforms into mutant DNA.
