Mike thanks so very much for this clarification - it is truly welcome as I, 
from my lack of any scientific training was starting to get angry - in my book 
there is nothing like experience for teaching - my recent experience with the 
Chickenguyna virus is that CS could not and did not do the trick, - I got it 
badly after it appeared my body was out of fight - if like the herpes virus - 
it lives in the body where it has decided to lodge itself then this explains 
the continual inflammation and stiff painful joints I and others are 
experiencing- continuing to take my normal daily intake of CS will eventually 
work as it appears to have done for me in the case of herpes which I have 
suffered with from time to time over some fifty years - I am investigating 
whether taking any of the known helpers will do any good at this point of time 
as the virus is already lodged - who knows only time can and will tell - over 
time I have done all the other modalities to work on the herpes virus and none 
have killed it outright - they have all more than likely worked together to 
extend the time between out breaks however I would be kidding myself to say it 
has finally given up - my last outbreak now being four years.
So working on this assumption I ask myself will I have to endure the residue of 
the Chickenguyna for another four - which my research has told me is the time 
the virus stats in the body ?   Not 
a nice future - so as a last resort it will be back to the mind for release 
from this scourge - gone to meditate - thanks whole heaps for confirming and 
clarifying what I had read for myself - I constantly tell others to become the 
captain of their own ship - I think I need to tell myself this very seriously
Thanks I WILL be well / the same for you 
Cheers

Thanks Mike, that really explains things well.  I read somewhere that viruses 
can also have a strand of RNA as well and are actually not organic at all.  
Have you heard of this? Dee
