Herpes Simplex Virus Types I & II

Note: The term Humic Acid or Humic Acids has been substituted in the following statement where the original wording was in scientific terms that detailed the chemical compositions of Humic Acid.

“It is therefore concluded that it is possible to test the anti–viral effects of all four (Humic Acid) compounds up to 500 ug/mL without any drug–related cytotoxicity.” “Furthermore, three series of experiments were designed to explore the potential mechanisms of action. The first series of experiments demonstrated that all four compounds (of Humic Acid) can inactivate both HSV–1 and HSV–2 infections with different anti–viral activities. The second series of experiments demonstrated that the compounds (of Humic Acid) can protect cells against HSV–1 and HSV–2 infection. The third series of experiments demonstrated that the compounds (of Humic Acid) can interfere with the proliferation of HSV–1 and HSV–2 after the virus enters the cells.”
