One of the most common sexually transmitted diseases in the world is the Human Papillomavirus (HPV), affecting over 20 million men and women in America alone. That’s why the Center for the Biology of Chronic Diseases (the CBCD) is recommending Gene-Eden for Safer Sex.
This product is an herbal, antiviral supplement designed to fight a broad spectrum of sexually transmitted viral infections….including HPV.
HPV is most commonly passed on through genital contact from anal or vaginal sex, although in rare cases it can also be passed on via oral sex as well. Scientists have identified over 40 different types of HPV that can infect the genitals or mouth of individuals, and many are highly contagious.
HPV often causes no visible symptoms and can be very difficult to detect in many people, which means that most people who have HPV don't even know it. In fact, the Center for Disease Control has estimated that 50% of all sexually active men and women will contract HPV at some point in their lives.
While HPV may be relatively harmless for the vast majority of those infected, a small minority can encounter serious health risks with this virus. The most common low-risk symptom associated with human papillomavirus is genital warts, which usually manifest as raised, flat, or cauliflower-shaped growths in and around the genitals or anus.
HPV can also greatly increase the risk of cancer, especially among women, as it is now believed that nearly every instance of cervical cancer can be traced to a high-risk HPV infection. With nearly a quarter of a million women dying from cervical cancer worldwide each year, HPV represents one of the greatest female health risks that exist today.
Unfortunately, this disproportion in risk between women and men means that most of the effort in education and treatment of HPV is directed towards females. Owing to the fact that most men with HPV will manifest no symptoms and experience no adverse effects, many men ignore the danger of this virus and view it as a "female problem."
This cannot be further from the truth.
While, admittedly, men are at a much lower risk for contracting cancer or genital warts from an HPV infection, the danger still exists and, in fact, is often made greater by male indifference to prevention and treatment.
A high-risk HPV infection has the ability to cause penile and anal cancer in men, and will not show any symptoms as a warning beforehand. Additionally, a man with HPV who manifests no symptoms can still act as a carrier and infect female sexual partners, putting them at risk for cervical cancer.
As of today, there is no FDA-approved test to detect HPV in men. This means that, in the absence of obvious symptoms such as genital warts, there is no sure way to tell if a man is currently infected with HPV. There is also no known treatment for the virus; one can only treat the symptoms that result from the disease.
Herbal remedies such as Thuja plicata or Thuja occidentalis, also known as Western Red Cedar, have been shown to cure genital warts by stimulating CD4 T-cells, which are known to attack virus-infested cells.
Taking antiviral supplements could also, theoretically, help to lower the viral loads within the body. This includes HPV.
One trace element that has been shown to have an effect on a broad range of viruses is Selenium. It’s been shown that those with a nutritional deficiency in Selenium have an increased risk of viral infection. More than this, if infected, the viral infection shows an increase in virulence in those with a Selenium deficiency. (The Journal of Nutrition)
The Gene Eden for Safer Sex supplement contains six different virus fighting herbs and elements…including Selenium. The CBCD highly recommends this supplement as an additional layer in keeping sex safe.
The CBCD is a not-for-profit organization that specializes in researching the biology of chronic disease.
