Scientists may one day be able to destroy viruses by mathematically determining the frequencies at which they can be shaken to death.
All objects have resonant frequencies at which they naturally vibrate. But too much vibration can destroy the object. Recent experiments have shown that laser pulses tuned to the right frequency can kill certain viruses. However, at present, locating these resonant frequencies is a trial and error task.
Researchers are hard at work developing methods to calculate the vibrational motion of every atom in a virus shell. From this, they can determine the lowest resonant frequencies. For example, the satellite tobacco necrosis virus resonates strongly around 60 Gigahertz (60 billion cycles per second).
It is unlikely that viruses will be able to develop resistance to mechanical shaking, as they do to drugs.
I found this article particularly interesting because of how it ties in with research on other fronts, specifically the breakthrough discoveries of Bruce Lipton, as explained in his book The Biology of Belief.
In it he explains the foundation of epigenetics, and how the true secret to life does not lie in within your DNA, but rather within the mechanisms of the cell membrane. In this way – which is contrary to conventional medical science – it is actually the cell’s membrane -- operating in response to environmental signals picked up by the membrane’s receptors -- that control the “reading” of the genes inside.
When you destroy its brain – the membrane – the cell dies, just as you would die if your brain was removed. Therefore, killing viruses through the use of resonant frequencies that stresses the cell to the point of breaking its shell is certainly within the realm of reality.
This research may also, eventually, add new credence to the explanation of how your body can be damaged by exposure to various information-carrying radio waves, which oscillate at frequencies that resonate with different cells in your body, including your brain cells.
As stated in the article above, all objects have resonant frequencies at which they naturally vibrate. Too much vibration can destroy the object, or cause it to malfunction.
I’ve written several articles on this subject within the last year, as I believe cellular phones and WiFi are one of the greatest health hazards we face as we move into the future.
I also believe that the more we find out about how our bodies are really affected by energies, such as resonating frequencies, the more the problem of information-carrying radio waves will become apparent to the masses. And, the more you will come to realize just to what extent your own thought energies affect your health and genetic expression.

In Australia, we have a mosquito borne virus called Ross River Virus. It causes grinding fatigue, and very sore joints. You can expect to have these symptoms acutely for 6 months to a couple of years. It may never leave the body. Anecdotal evidence has it, that a cure is to grab hold of an electric fence! I guess it must that virus a bit of a shake up!
Please inform me! What is an HFCS?
I love all of you people by the way!

Activity Cures Everything, HFCS is short for High Fructose Corn Syrup and is Public Diet Enemy #1. It is cheap and a widely used ingredient in processed foods and drinks. Search for it on this site. Dr Mercola he say no to HFCS.
Virologists seem to have forgotten whatever they were taught about viruses - if anything.
Heat is energy. Energy is vibration. Fever is heat.
Viruses cannot replicate in human cells when body temperature rises above 38.33 degrees Celsius (101 F).
All mammals deal with viral infection by developing a fever. The ancients knew this. Hence the Scandinavians (Norwegians, Swedes, Finns, Icelanders) and Russians use Saunas and the North American aboriginal people used sweat lodges.
Feed a fever - starve a cold has more science going for it than fiction. Great grandmothers were right. Keeping the patient warm and well hydrated and feed nourishing broth was the way to go.
Today - suppressing a fever with the likes of Tamiflu, Relenza or other fever suppressing drugs like aspirin and its copy cats is the the worst thing one can do. It is a safe bet that of the 800 or less that died from Super Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) most died because the MD's tried to suppress the fever. The same goes for suppressing influenza, pneumonia and all other fevers.
No one seems to be taught that antibiotics are ineffective against viruses and are responsible for the epidemic of deadly bacteria resistant infections that now plague hospitals.
I'd always heard that old adage the other way around: feed a cold and (or TO) starve a fever. The original is lost in antiquity and opinion was always divided as to what it meant. Perhaps they hadn't noticed that a cold often BEGINS with a fever!
A good point about heat and fevers defeating infection, but is that 38.33C a documented fact? I just ask because I can't find it.
A couple of decades ago, there was treatment for colds and 'flu that consisted of a steady stream of 40 degree warm air plus water vapour in two tubes, held just under the nostrils and inhaled for 20 minutes. It was pronounced effective that several large employers bought the system, providing their staff with treatment as soon as the first signs (headache, sore throat, etc.) appeared, thus preventing loss of manpower. But I haven't heard of it again since. Did Big Pharma step in and destroy it or something?
Is there no danger in fever itself: anything above 41C can cause convulsions or seizures and is it really helping?
When my daughter had a cough and high fever at 20 months old she was highly distressed, tossing around, breathing fast, moaning and crying between coughing. I covered her up but she kicked off all covers shouting 'get away from me' when anyone touched her. In a luke-warm bath, she fought at first but became calm, bright and happy in one minute as it brought down her fever!
The same thing happened when I took her through freezing weather to the doctor - she cooled down so much that she just sat looking tired when we got there and the doc said there was nothing wrong with her; refused to even examine her (why do they ignore parents' observations? Don't get me started).
Turns out she had pneumonia. I am generally a big believer in letting fever help but there are limits.
