Publications
Vaccinia and other viruses with available vaccines show marked homology with the HIV-1 envelope glycoprotein: The prospect of using existing vaccines to stem the AIDS pandemic.Immunopharmacol Immunotoxicol. | 2011
Authors: C.J.Carter

Smallpox vaccination has been shown to reduce HIV-1 viral load in vitro and certain other viruses also limit HIV-1 infection. This may be due to extensive protein sequence similarities between these viruses: A resumption of smallpox vaccination could perhaps diminish AIDS


The Fox and the Rabbits—Environmental Variables and Population Genetics (1) Replication Problems in Association Studies and the Untapped Power of GWAS (2) Vitamin A Deficiency, Herpes Simplex Reactivation and Other Causes of Alzheimer's DiseaseISRN:Neurology | 2011
Authors: C.J.Carter

Many of the environmental risk factors in Alzheimer's disease are able to provoke beta-amyloid deposition and also herpes simplex reactivation. Each risk factor can be related to subsets of susceptibility genes suggesting that the risk factors are in fact causes, whose effects are conditioned by the genes. Many of these causes are preventable by simple measures such as diet, vitamin supplementation and pathogen detection and elimination.
