This virus actually may boost -- not weaken -- our immune system

Lifelong cytomegalovirus infection may be beneficial, boosting the immune system in old age, when we need it most, according to a new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Our immune system is at its peak when we’re young, but after a certain age, it declines and it becomes more difficult for our bodies to fight off new infections.

“That’s why older people are more susceptible to infections than younger people,” explains Janko Nikolich-Zugich, MD, PhD, co-director or the University of Arizona Center on Aging and chairman of the Department of Immunobiology at the University of Arizona College of Medicine - Tucson.

In search of a way to rejuvenate the immune system of older adults, Dr. Nikolich-Zugich and Megan Smithey, PhD, have found that one particular virus may not weaken, but actually enhance our immune system. Their findings are published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

I’m curious as to why you want to insult/talk about me suddenly. I was just showing my pov and I’d be happy to hear yours- especially if I’m wrong. I’m on the side of the people. Why would I, a working class citizen, defend a millionaire unless I thought they were innocent? I WIIIIISH Obama payed my bills.

I don’t like the higher interest rates, and how the deficit is just rapidly increasing. It’s slowing down the economy, the mortgage interest rate is 1/3 higher since trump took office, it’ll lead to a recession. Health care is privatized and just getting more expensive, and Trump clearly isn’t doing anything about that. I don’t agree with the tax cuts on the wealthy either, but if he would do s o m e t h i n g, anything, to help the majority out instead of tweeting 24/7 I’d be on board with him. He tried to reduce the money going to food stamps, tried to cut money going to CHIP, and he withheld money that was supposed to go to Obamacare, dick move. He also is doing nothing about health care, how can you even call him a good president fffs

Donald Trump won the presidency because of the identity politics of whiteness.

Donald Trump won because of the idiot politics of the left, it had nothing to do with whiteness. The Republicans could’ve put up a festering boil farm on Rosue Odonnels ass and I’d have voted for that festering boil over Killary or Barney.

Shit, a festering boil farm would’ve had a better tax and budget plan than either Killary or Barney.

She interrupted a speech he was giving in the White House. He asked her to stop screaming and interrupting multiple times. He said its disrespectful because he invited them to the White House and now they won’t let him give the speech they came to see. If you see any other heckler videos of Obama he gives them time to explain themselves and he answers. However, this was a speech given in the White House where it’s not open to active debate. And she is a heckler..? Anyone who interrupts aggressively = heckler
