(CNN) – (5/9/19) Hepatitis A, a vaccine-preventable illness, like measles, has made a resurgence among adults in the United States who are at risk for the infection, according to a new report.
Researchers at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention analyzed the number of cases reported to the agency through the National Notifiable Diseases Surveillance System from 2013 to 2018.
Hepatitis A infections increased 294% between 2016 and 2018, according to the study, published Thursday in the MMWR weekly report.
This article highlights and assumes that vaccines are the only way to prevent infectious diseases for everyone, disregarding personalized medicine – “right medicine, for the right person, at the right time”; and, disregarding that proper nutrition can enable the development of a healthy and resilient immune system. CytoSolve provides the opportunity for developing therapeutics – not just synthetic but natural products – using a new innovative, and alternative approach, that identifies risk and toxicity, without animal testing. The current trillion dollars pharmaceutical industry is in peril where the current drug development pipeline is slow, inefficient and incapable of being extended to multi-combination drug therapies as well as minimally focused on prevention. The complex modeling of diseases and biological functions has been limited because of the inability to integrate large scale molecular pathways.
