Titolo: allora era vero!!!!

era tutto vero e le autorita' fanno passare la cosa sotto silenzio!
dopo l'HIV, ebola, la Sars, le vaccinazioni forzate di massa, c'e' un altro
virus che mina la nostra salute e come al solito i governi tengono tutto
sotto silenzio fino a quando non e' troppo tardi!
Cercavo una rivista in biblioteca e mi e' capitato davanti agli occhi un
vecchio numero di Science Today (vol. 68, oct. 1998).
C'e' un articolo di un certo dr. Arthur Bentley dal titolo "RETROVIRUS
IMPLICATED IN LYCANTHROPIC TRANSFORMATIONS".
Secondo l'autore un retrovirus, il Lyc-V, e' responsabile del contagio della
malattia storicamente chiamata licantropia.
Fra l'altro, da una ricerca su Google ho scoperto che la rivista non esiste
piu', ed e' stata soppressa, a quanto pare, pochi numeri dopo questo.
ricopio fedelmente l'articolo cosi' giudicate da soli:
Like the human HIV virus the lyc-v virus belongs to a class known as
retroviruses. These microscopic organisms are characterised by a sequence of
genetic code which allows them to hijach the host cell's resources and
manifactures an enzyme called reverse transcriptase, which copies and
incorporates the virus's own sequence of RNA into that of the host cell's
DNA.
Infection with Lyc-V means that the genetic makeup of the host cell is
permanently altered. When the cells multiply, they reproduce not just the
genes in their own DNA, but also those of the invading virus.
These genes, of course, contain code for more copies of the virus, which
means, in effect, that the host cells have been subverted to become a
rapidly-expanding virus factory.
This is all that the HIV virus needs to do to survive and multiply. Lic-V
has some peculiar side-effects, however, caused by an unusual feature of its
life cycle. Human HIV retrovirus are believed to be variants of a simian
virus, long endemic in the ape population, that have now vectored into the
human population. They make use of intimate (usually sexual) contact to move
from one human to another, but stay within the one host species. By
contrast, Lic-V has what is known as a reservoir population: for parts of
its life cycle, it lives in the cells of animals of a different species.
Lic-V seems to favour whichever species of large carnivore is dominant in
the locality; in Europe, for instance, that has historically meant wolves.
This split lifecycle results in the Lic-V virus picking up genetic material
from its secondary host population, which is then packaged in the viral
particle along with the virus' own genes. When Lic-V invades a human body
and copies itself into the human DNA, it incorporates some wolf DNA into the
host cell's genes. As with the HIV virus, there is normally a dormant period
following initial infection, as the body's immune defenses (such as the
T-cells) can kill off infected cells faster than Lic-V can produce them.
Elevated T-cells counts in the blood are a sign that infection is in
progress.
Unfortunately, Lic-V soon overwhelms these defenses and lurks, waiting to be
activated - apparently by the gravitational field of a full moon.
Understanding the way that the virus spreads explains a problem that has
long troubled scientists: why does the degree of transformation vary? Some
sufferers become fully-fledged wolf-beings, while others become hybrid
wolf-men. Current thinking is that the difference arises from two sources:
a) the amount of wolf DNA carried by the particular strain of Lic-V in
question
b) the "penetration" of the Lic-V infection, or the extent to which the
virus infects the victims' cells. If only 50% of the victim's cells are
infected, then only 50% can be affected by the expression of wolf DNA when
the moon catalyses the virus into action.

Posso chiederti se sei tu che hai trovato "Science Today" in biblioteca
italiana o se il testo che hai postato è preso da un'altra pagina web?
Ho cercato con Google e ho trovato che una rivista con quel titolo
veniva pubblicata in India:
" This article is based on a series of articles which appeared in the
"Science Today" magazine in the year 1980. (The magazine used to be
published by the Times of India group in India; but stopped its
publication in the nineties). "
