| | (ATN) AIDS/ARC and BHT |
 | | BHT has been found to inhibit or inactivate every lipid-coated virus against which it was tried, including herpes (Freeman and others, 1985; Keith and others, 1982; Richards and others, 1985), cytomegalovirus (CMV) (Kim and others, 1978), Newcastle disease virus in poultry (Brugh 1977; Winston 1980) and other viruses. |
 | | In this double-blind test, published in 1985, BHT or placebo was applied topically to herpes sores, but late in their development, after the patients had arrived at the clinic. |
 | | People who use BHT as an antiviral (or who take it to slow the aging process and extend lifespan, an effect found in some animal studies), take about a thousand times as much as most people obtain in the average American diet. |
