MADISON, Wisconsin (Reuters Health) - A new study pinpoints several risk factors for developing deadly encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) caused by mosquito-borne West Nile virus infection.
The researchers identified older age, history of heart and vascular disease, and history of hypertension (high blood pressure) as independent risk factors for developing encephalitis from West Nile infection.

I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
