The Chinese are at high risk of nasopharygeal cancer due to three main factors :

Genetics, mainly chromosome 6p21.3
EBV infection
Diet - salt fish


The virus resides in the nasal epithelium.

The standard antibody tests which you find in the labs here are :

IgA-VCA
IgA-EA

IgG-VCA
IgG-EA


For improved sensitivity and specificity, ask the lab if they test for the viral DNA.

Make sure you don't eat salt fish or other salt-preserved foods.

NPC is endemic amongst the boat people of Hongkong for this very reason.



Early Detection of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma.

'' NPC presents as a complex disease caused by an interaction between chronic
infection with oncogenic gamma herpesvirus Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and
environmental and genetic factors, involving a multistep carcinogenic process.''


'' Nonviral exposure associated with the risk of NPC involves the consumption of
salt-preserved fish, a traditional staple food in several NPC-endemic areas. In studies
of Chinese populations, the relative risk of NPC associated with weekly consumption,
compared with no or rare consumption, generally ranged from 1.4 to 3.2 per 100,000
whereas that for daily consumption ranged from 1.8 to 7.5 .

Salt-preserved foods are a dietary staple in all NPC-endemic populations.

Thus, this dietary staple pattern may explain part of the international distribution
of NPC incidence. The carcinogenic potential of salt-preserved fish is supported by
experiments in rats, which develop malignant nasal and nasopharyngeal tumors
after salted fish consumption. The process of salt preservation is inefficient,
allowing fish and other foods to become partially putrefied. As a result, these
foods accumulate significant levels of nitrosamines, which are known carcinogens
in animals. Salt-preserved fish also contain bacterial mutagens, direct genotoxins,
and EBV-reacting substances, any or all of which could also contribute to the
observed association. However, there have been no prospective studies of NPC
risk associations with salt-preserved fish consumption, or virtually any other
environmental exposure, in endemic areas. ''

I've already given you the studies above on the antiviral properties of
certain foods and plants but you don't seem to have noticed.

These others have antiviral properties. The studies are on Medline and elsewhere
if you know how to find them.


Garlic
EGCG
Monolaurin
Olive leaf extract
Lemon balm, or Melissa officinalis
Oregano oil
Elderberry


The above can be ordered as supplements from Iherb.



In vitro virucidal effects of Allium sativum (garlic) extract and compounds.

CMV is another member of the herpes family, and is a DNA virus like EBV, being
implicated in numerous diseases, including multiple sclerosis and some cancers.


Experimental study on the action of allitridin against human cytomegalovirus in vitro:
Inhibitory effects on immediate-early genes.

EGCG has activity against HIV as well, blocking the virus from binding to the gp120
receptor on your CD4 T-helper cells.


EGCG debilitates the persistence of EBV latency by reducing
the DNA binding potency of nuclear antigen 1.
