Center for Biomarkers of Chronic Diseases

The Center for the Biology of Chronic Disease (CBCD) is a non-profit research organization dedicated to investigating the relationship between latent viruses and the development of chronic diseases. The center is primarily known for its Microcompetition theory, which posits that latent viral DNA competes with human genes for essential cellular resources, leading to cellular dysfunction and disease. Based on this research, the CBCD has developed and marketed nutraceutical products such as Gene-Eden-VIR and Novirin, which are designed to support the immune system against latent viral infections like HPV and HSV. The organization conducts clinical studies to evaluate the efficacy of its products and publishes research to advance the understanding of viral latency in chronic conditions.
