Proposed Testing of KELEA Activated Drinking Water in Zika Virus Infected Pregnant Women

Abstract: The current outbreak of Zika virus infections is particularly alarming because infection during pregnancy can lead to severe brain damage in the developing fetus. There are currently no anti-viral therapies being provided to Zika virus infected pregnant women. Methods are available to enhance the alternative cellular energy (ACE) pathway as a non-immunological anti-virus defense mechanism. Benefits of these therapies have been described in patients infected with herpes simplex virus (HSV), herpes zoster virus … Show more

“…It has been proposed to Government health officials that KELEA activated water should be immediately evaluated as a potential preventative measure in pregnant women at risk for becoming infected with Zika virus [39,40]. Such actions are unlikely to occur if the immune system is perceived as the only natural defense against active virus infections.…”
