There’s no way to know if you have contracted a little or a lot of the virus. Suppose, using money as an example you need to get 75 cents worth of virus to get sick. What happens if you get 50 cents worth? What happens with a little bit of the virus is:  your body will develop anti-viruses that kill the virus cells. If you body can develop 76 cents worth of anti-virus then the virus will be competely killed but if your body only kills some of the virus you will get infected.

How does you body fight viruses?     As shown above your body developes anti-viruses which kill the virus. Part of the problem is the anti-virus and the virus are both reproducing so time gets involved with the infection and the cure. What needs to happen to be cured is the body has to produce 76 cents worth of anti-virus fast enough to kill the virus. If you get infected with enough virus before your body can produce the 76 cents worth of anti-virus you will be infected.

[Note: A team of researchers has identified the mode of action of viperin, a naturally occurring enzyme in humans and other mammals that is known to have antiviral effects on viruses.] HERE.

Can you help your body defeat the virus?     Certainly. Stay warm, force liquids and take a nap. If you get chilled the amount of virus will increase. If you get dehydrated the virus will be able to re-produce faster than you body can fight it. If you are tired it’s harder for your body to produce anti-viruses.

[There’s a Lithuanian Drink called “Boil-O” made from whisky, honey, herbs and spices that can be used to gargle to prevent viruses. Even if it doesn’t work you feel a bit better. ]

Gargle With Anti-Septic Mouth Wash. Listerine is a favorite. Equate, Crest, Colgate also make antiseptic mouthwash. Gargle with it. It will fight the mucus in the throat and dislodge it. If once doesn’t work do it again and again.

Your body fights viruses by develping anti-viruses but producing anti-virus takes time and resources. Staying warm and forcing fluids are resources that will help your body to develop anti-viruses. Resting instead of exerting yourself will allow your anti-virus production to increase. When you produce enough anti-virus you win against the virus. If you can get to a warm place like the Southern states or Mexico you have a good chance of not catching the virus because you won;t get a chill.

But if you think you are infected get to a doctor. This virus is serious as are all flu’s so take it serious and get medical help. Your life may depend on it.
