What is it about?
This paper reports the results of a clinical study that tested the natural Gene-Eden-VIR/Novirin in genital herpes. The study showed that Gene Eden-VIR/Novirin safely and effectively decreases the number of genital herpes outbreaks. The study also showed that Gene-Eden-VIR/Novirin is more effective and safer than the leading drugs Acyclovir (Zovirax) and Valacyclovir (Valtrex and Zelitrex), sold by GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE:GSK), and Famciclovir (Famvir), sold by Novartis (NYSE:NVS). The study was published in the peer reviewed medical journal Drug Design, Development and therapy. Gene-Eden-VIR/Novirin is a patented botanical product that consists of five natural ingredients, quercetin, green tea extract, cinnamon extract, licorice extract, and selenium. The product was developed to target latent viruses, and weaken their effect on the host. Gene-Eden-VIR/Novirin was introduced in the marketplace at the end of 2009. A previous clinical study showed that Gene-Eden-VIR/Novirin is antiviral. The scientists, who developed Gene-Eden-VIR, used a unique scientific tool, Computer Intuition, a proprietary psycholinguistic-based, data-mining program that analyzes scientific text. The scientists’ objective was to identify natural ingredients mentioned in the scientific literature that have a strong antiviral effect against the most common viruses. To achieve the objective, they used Computer Intuition to analyze more than 50,000 pa pers. Using the Computer Intuition results, they created the Gene-Eden-VIR/Novirin formula.

Why is it important?
The paper is important for a few reasons: 1. It introduces a new antiviral treatment in more than 20 years. 2. It shows that the new antiviral treatment is safer and more effective than the leading drugs in the category. 3. It introduces a natural alternative to antiviral drugs.
Perspectives
Drugs are perceived as effective, yet risky, since they cause side effects. Natural treatments are perceived as safe, but mostly ineffective, Our study shows that Gene-Eden-VIR/Novirin, a natural product, is both safe and effective. We are excited about the results of this study since we see it as a validation of the Computer Intuition based discovery process.

In our current study, we have found that Gene-Eden-VIR/Novirin, a natural product, is safe and effective. The results of our study highlight the great potential of natural solutions. We are of hope that it may open the door to other clinical studies of natural products.
