Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Herpes / June 2004The virus can live in your toothbrush and reinfect you
This is not an invitation for anyone to get rid of their toothbrushes it is just an invitation for Mike and other posters to get a clue of how some herpes related things work and stop using offensive language, in here. Perl Molson The virus can live in your toothbrush and reinfect you. As soon as you feel a cold sore coming on, throw away the toothbrush you're using. Then, when the sore is history, get a new toothbrush once again. If you don't think it's worth the expense of three toothbrushes, think of how you feel when you look in the mirror at your cold sore. When you're preparing to brush your teeth, do not put the toothbrush up against the top of the toothpaste before squeezing the tube. Your toothbrush can infect the toothpaste and the herpes virus can be passed on to other family members, or can keep reinfecting you. http://www.drweil.com/app/cda/drw_cda.html-command=TodayQA-questionId=3199 >This is not an invitation for anyone to get rid of their toothbrushes >it is just an invitation for Mike and other posters to get a clue >of how some herpes related things work That article is six years old. If Dr. Weil has kept up to date with the latest reseach and information, his knowledge base and opinions, along with many other doctors, have been updated by now. It's a slow process but surveys among doctors show that the new research results are slowly reaching them. And I'm not talking only about the toothbrush comment. There were quite a few other outdated ideas in that old article. M2 <M2slo2cht@nospam.invalid> wrote in message > That article is six years old.

Sorry if you're offended by my words, Perl, but there are other ways to be offensive. In fact, there is little in this world more offensive than unrelenting stupidity. In the interests of science, I've written to the pill-pusher Dr Weil and asked him if he could back up his unsourced claims. Truthfully, I don't expect to hear back from him, but will give a report either way. So far I've gotten the "While we cannot always answer each letter personally" auto-reply.

I sent him one day an email regarding my back pain on my right side of the body, that had bothered me for quite a long time. I've asked him if he can point out an acupuncture point or such, to be able to treat my pain. In a couple of days, without Mr. Weil answering to my email, my pain was gone. I have never had such pain in my back, since. I still believe that Mr. Weil have used some distance healing such as reiki or smth. similar, to cure my problem.

Apparently, Weil's "powers" don't lend themselves to responding to polite and earnest emails. After two weeks, Weil has still not responded to my questions about herpes, toothbrushes, and toothpaste. Perhaps he is too busy filling the vitamin and herbal pill orders that his web site (and his carefully managed image) is set up to sell. >I sent him one day an email regarding my back pain on my right side of >the body, >that had bothered me for quite a long time. >I've asked him if he can point out an acupuncture point or such, to >be able to treat my pain. >In a couple of days, without Mr. Weil answering to my email, >my pain was gone.

That's incontrovertable proof of something, that's for sure, but I'm too polite to say just what. Mike The toothbrush/toothpaste issue is no more a concern from the perspective of what type of an answer you could've got from Mr. Weil M.D. You can solve this problem by using removable heads toothbrushes; there is no need to get rid of toothbrushes and toothpaste. You just keep the removable heads in a mouthwash solution, that will ensure the viral and bacterial death. Whether Mr. Weil will answer or not, I don't think you will get a better review of this issue. Mr. Weil cannot prove for that matter, that herpes can live in such an environment, that is, a toothbrush of toothpaste. Regarding the other point, who cares? I've got better, that's all that counts for me.

How many other things does Mr Weil say that he cannot prove? Are we to grant him a lower standard of proof than we grant, say, Glaxo-Wellcome? Mike >Regarding the other point, who cares? I've got better, that's all that counts >for me. Sometimes,you like going overboard, isn't it? I don't see why you've got so angry over what Mr. Weil have said in some articles; after all, the alternative medicine is a trial and error based medicine. Nobody can know everything in this field. He might be right, too, after all. A big name such as Glaxo-Wellcome doesn't necessarily say as much, as you would like to believe. I reckon noone has ever discovered a cure for herpes, but I have no doubt there are millions of people that had been cured from herpes during "eons" using unconventional medicine. I know you don't believe this, but under certain condition, provided by unconventional treatments, all the traces remained in ganglia or any other parts of the body, can become unfunctional to provide the formation of new virions and viruses. You just have to hit the right formula and you have it done.

His failures in such regards make him look like part of the gang of two-bit charlatans preying on the sick and credulous.

I'm a 3 bit charlatan! > I'm a 3 bit charlatan! After checking Mr. Weil's M.D. books, website and all the rest, surely you will have more then 3 bits of goodies to point out. Until then, let's try to keep a BIT of decency in here, will you? Did you know that this Mr. Weil has travelled in the Amazonian jungle and has talked with the shamans over there about their way of treating diseases? An all these after graduating from Harvard.

An all these after graduating from Harvard. That explains *his* shrunken head. Now, what's your excuse? LOL. Mike mmm.... I got a big head though. I mean, it doesn't "look" big... but everyone keeps telling me I got a big head for some reason... > >> I'm a 3 bit charlatan! > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Mike > >Sometimes,you like going overboard, isn't it? > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Mike Can you prove it that either way it's wright or wrong?

We go back in cirles, right? That was my original question, that is why I wanted to find out if herpes can live on a toothbrush, toothpaste, towel, etc, between others. > If > > you don't think it's worth the expense of three toothbrushes, think of [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Same thing again with toothpaste being like soap.
