Hi, Members of the List, A physician with social ties to the young lady who survived unvaccinated rabies told me a few details about how it was accomplished.
The rabies virus has the strange ability to move in a nerve fibers oppositely to the action potential (nerve impulse) that moves unidirectionally down a fiber. If the rabies victim is put into a deep coma, the rabies viruses get confused about which route to follow to get to their goal, the brain. Once the virus is disoriented, conventional antiviral treatments gain enough time to counter-attack and destroy the infection. Best regards, Matthew
