INTRODUCTION
Herbalism is the use of plants for medicinal purposes . Plants have been used as the basis of medication throughout human history to help prevent and cure a wide range of ailments. These remedies are recognized in modern medicine as alternative treatments and have been steadily increasing in popularity for many reasons, some of which are explained very well in the statement below from the Journal of Traditional and Complementary Medicine :
Viral infections play an important role in human diseases, and recent outbreaks in the advent of globalization and ease of travel have underscored their prevention as a critical issue in safeguarding public health. Despite the progress made in immunization and drug development, many viruses lack preventive vaccines and efficient antiviral therapies, which are often beset by the generation of viral escape mutants. Thus, identifying novel antiviral drugs is of critical importance and natural products are an excellent source for such discoveries.
In short, although antiviral medication is important, it isnt always the answer. To prevent a growing resistance to the work of prescription medication, herbal remedies are brilliant for preventionand cure when the virus isnt life threatening. Herbal remedies are also brilliant for assisting with the side effects of medication , which will be examined within this guide.

CHAPTER 1
KEY FACTS ABOUT EMERGING VIRUSES
Every year, approximately 1.7 million people are affected by infections . In the US alone, over 100,000 people die because of infections they acquired in hospitals and health clinics. An emergent virus is one that has adapted and has developed into a new disease or pathogen. Most of these can be categorized as zoonotic which is an animal disease which has been transferred onto humans.
.
The factors that affect emerging viruses are:
- Population movements the movement of population.
- Deforestation natural forests are cleared through logging or burning.
- Irrigation the artificial application of water to assist the production of crops.
- Urbanization the increase of population in urban areas.
- Increased long distance air travel.
- Increased long distance air travel for livestock.
- Migration the movement of population with the intent of settling in someplace new.
A great example of an emerging virus is Poliomyelitis . It has been known to exist for centuries without any real impact, but it became more prominent in the 19 th century, due to dense urban populations forcing people to live so closely together. This wasnt resolved until the vaccine was invented.
Watch Dr. Leonard Horowitz on Emerging Viruses
Of course, more recent examples of emerging viruses are Aids and Ebola . As shown in the video above, Dr. Leonard Horowitz has recently done a very in-depth study on this very topic. Dr. Leonard Horowitz is an internationally known authority of behavioral science and public health education. He received his doctorate from Tufts University in dental medicine, a Master of Public Health degree in behavioral science from Harvard University, and a Masters of Arts degree in health education from Beacon College. He served on the faculties of Tufts and Harvard Universities and Leslie Colleges Institute for the Arts and Human Development, directed a multidisciplinary health centre for over a decade, and currently serves as President of a non-profit health educational corporation.
He starts his study by saying To do evil a human being must first of all believe what he is doing is good... which demonstrates how it looks about human interference in these emerging viruses. His work examines how a lot of these emerging viruses are not just mutations, but actually man made . The implications of this, of course means that we need to be extremely aware of how we can protect ourselves naturally from this type of thing. If we can incorporate specific foods and herbs into our everyday diet, this gives us a better chance of fighting whatever comes our way.
Now that we have had a brief look at the origin of these emerging viruses, it is time to examine what is important curing them . Most people will automatically think of traditional, man-made medication, but this guide will demonstrate how herbal, more natural medication has extensive benefits of its own.
