Bacterial & Viral Diseases

Also known as:  Infections;  Infectious Diseases

Description

Bacterial & Viral Diseases are infectious diseases caused directly by infection by Viruses and Detrimental Bacteria.

These Substances may Prevent/Treat Bacterial & Viral Diseases

 Other therapies for Bacterial & Viral Diseases are listed in the topic for each individual Bacterial & Viral Disease.

Amino Acids

 Arginine may help to prevent Bacterial & Viral Diseases in persons with suppressed Immune Systems.  ^[1]

 Glutamine may help to prevent Bacterial & Viral Diseases in people who undertake Endurance Exercise (endurance athletes have an increased rate of infections partly as a result of depletion of plasma Glutamine that occurs during Endurance Exercise).  ^[2]

Carbohydrates

 Beta 1,3 Glucan may help to prevent many types of Bacterial & Viral Diseases (by enhancing the function of the Immune System).  ^[3]

Hormones

 Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate (DHEA) may protect against many Bacterial & Viral Diseases.  

Immune System Chemicals

 IgA is a major line of defense against local Bacterial & Viral Diseases in the Respiratory Tract and the Gastrointestinal Tract.  ^[4]

Lipids

 Alkylglycerols may help to prevent Bacterial & Viral Diseases (due to the stimulatory effects of Alkylglycerols on the Immune System).  ^[5]

 Linoleic Acid deficiency may increase the body''s susceptibility to Bacterial & Viral Diseases.  ^[6]

Microorganisms

 Lactobacillus rhamnosus may counteract many types of Bacterial & Viral Diseases.  ^[7]

Minerals

  Increased susceptibility to Bacterial & Viral Diseases may occur as a result of Copper deficiency.  ^[8]

 Selenium may help to prevent Bacterial & Viral Diseases.  ^[9]

 Silver (consumed orally) may help to prevent and treat many Bacterial & Viral Diseases (by suppressing or killing many of the Detrimental Microorganisms that cause Bacterial & Viral Diseases).  

 Zinc may help to prevent Bacterial & Viral Diseases.  ^[10]

Proteins/Peptides

 Thymic Protein A (TPA) may help to prevent many Bacterial & Viral Diseases (by stimulating the Immune System).  ^[11]

Vaccines

 Biostim may prevent some Bacterial & Viral Diseases:  ^[12]

 Epidemiological studies show that persons who have undertaken a course of Biostim often remain free from Bacterial & Viral Diseases for 12 months.

Vitamins

 Vitamin A may help to prevent many Bacterial & Viral Diseases (via numerous mechanisms that involve the Immune System).  ^[13]
