DR. JEAN-CLAUDE LAPRAZ AND DR. CHRISTIAN DURAFFOURD ARE FRENCH MEDICAL
DOCTORS WHO, OVER 25 YEARS AGO, TOOK UP THE NATURAL METHODS OF PHYTOTHERAPY.
AS ONCOLOGISTS AT THE HOPITAL BOUCICAUT IN PARIS, THEY RUN A SPECIAL CLINIC
IN GENERAL SURGERY AND ONCOLOGY UNDER THE DIRECTION OF PROFESSOR REYNIER, USING
PHYTOTHERAPY IN CONJUNCTION WITH CONVENTIONAL CANCER TREATMENTS, AS A
SUPPORTIVE, RESTORATIVE ADJUNCT.
A virus ADN infection of the herpes virus group (chicken pox, zona, Epstein
Barr, and cytomegalo virus) are of two antigenic herpes varieties :
-
HSV1 labial, buccal and corneal herpes.
-
HSV2 genital and neo-natal
herpes.
Eruption Site - vesicular, or phlyctenular:
-
cutaneous mucinous junctions
: lips, cornea, genitals
-
large cutaneous mucous
area : cheek, buttocks
Recurring affection caused by a short, temporary disturbance of the
equilibrium due to an initially unstable surface are linked to repeated and
periodical aggression of variable intensity. The reaction may be variable
without direct relation to the effective cause, returning rapidly to the initial
level of the surface are without modifications. The resulting scar tissue may vary according to area and extensiveness.
The instability of the initial surface
are in its acute phase is the cause of the
brief failure of the suprarenal - beta sympathetic nervous system. The lack of
stability during the pre-acute phase is the consequence of a hyperactivity of
the alpha sympathetic response to a basic parasympathetic system aggravating the
glycocorticoidal decline of the adrenal cortex. The most frequently encountered disturbances of the surface
are in pre-acute and
acute cases are :
-
The global reduction of the activity of the adrenal cortex, of the
genital area particularly in the its luteal phase, the hypophyseal &
thymic functional activity.
-
Due to over stimulation regardless of its
origin.
The most frequently encountered factors associated within these pre-acute and
acute cases are :
-
lack of microbial flora (intestinal in most cases)
-
mycosis of
surrounding areas (intestinal in most cases)
-
peripheral lymphoid
insufficiency
-
specific emunctorial over load (pancreatic, hepatic,
cutaneous).
The associated symptoms, cause of the prolonged crisis most frequently
encountered are :
-
Inflammation
-
Pain
-
Allergy
