    Re: How do we prevent viruses from accessing ROOT inside our bodies?

    To prevent
    sudo apt-get install vaccine_all
    this has numerous dependencies

    Remember: While the exercise and vitaminc packages may strengthen your viral defenses, the only coherent one that stops them in their tracks is the vaccine package

    If already infected

    sudo apt-get install antiviral

    This only works on select viruses
    if antiviral fails

    sudo apt-get install rest
    sudo apt-get install bed <helps rest run more efficiently)

    Run the rest package in conjunction with the bed package until the virus is cleansed from your system

    I've installed rest and I still don't get any.

    I sure hope you don't tell that to people with cancer, diabetes, HIV, or many other diseases which would have killed them if not for modern medicine.

    Gaining root access in your machine could vary widely based on OS. Consult hypnosis documentation for your specific solution.

    You can start by installing exercise-lite and let it upgrade your processor and ram -as well as everything else (yeah, exercise-lite can do it ).

    Did you miss the part about "rare exceptions" ???

    Viruses are built by hackers. So you'll never be able to keep them completely out. When you think you've patched all the holes, They find another one. Which is why we have ethical hacking. If I can hack something and then tell someone how I did it, they can find a way around it (Vaccine <Has the little virus hackers in it, teaches our body how to fight them>) They don't really sudo su as much as making our bodies think they did. Some of them actually fool our bodies (AIDS) Some don't. I think we have a pretty good firewall already. Just make sure to sudo apt-get update!
    Which is more important in obtaining the truth, "what" or "why"? Trick question. They are of equal importance.
    Freely ye have received, freely give.

    If we can figure out exactly how sharks do it, and adapt the human body to do the same.......

    Excessive dosing of vitamin c, (beyond what is provided by a healthy diet) is useless. Multivitimins don't do much either, provided you eat properly. And if you don't eat well, no vitamins will make up for unhealthy eating habits.
    I believe that some exposure to pathogens when the immune system is still developing results in a stronger system when mature.
    I'm gonna break rank and say that our immune system is more akin to a ******* system; your body's reaction to a cold or flu being like an antivirus scan, purging and quarantining any unwanted elements. Unfortunately, we cannot function w/out a/v protection.
