Hmm. I've usually heard it likened to shamanic trances, which is why I mentioned autohypnosis. The idea being that it's your spirit inhabiting a physical wolf somewhere other than your body.
This is the home of united werewolf fans across the globe. Searching to improve the image of the werewolf in popular culture, known as... The Pack

I was able to touch one. A female brown wolf. She really enjoyed it when I gave her a massage type petting. You can tell when they stick the tounge out just a tiny bit. When I stopped, she placed her head under my hand for some more. Man, I felt great that day.WolfVanZandt wrote:LOL. Fact is, I'm not that much of a wolf enthusiast. I like wolves but I've never had the urge to take a trip just to see one.
*nods* "Vaccine" really wasn't the proper term for that description. "Antidote" or "Remedy" might have been more appropriate.WolfVanZandt wrote:Terastas, that might workfor the movie but realistically vaccine don't cure viral illnesses; they prevent them. There are very few viruses that can actually be killed in the body because they're made of DNA. If you kill them, you also kill off the body's DNA.

There is no cure for the HIVirus, given as how its constant mutation pretty much thwarts efforts for a vaccine.Blade-of-the-Moon wrote:I would have to say that if a werewolf was created by being bitten then there would probably be a cure perhaps similar to the aids virus ( but that would make an astonishing number of werewolves ), but if someone is born a werewolf I don't see a cure being possible unless it's through some form of genetic manipulation which is oddly how in one story I read someone became a werewolf.
Have any of you heard the theory about how different humans evolved from different animals ? It may not be fact but it's still interesting, if only I could remember what site that was...
By a similarity I meant that we don't know of a cure yet, but that doesn't mean there isn't one. I think the page I saw was using those legends as some evidence of how the different types of humans evolved from certain animals.Apokryltaros wrote:There is no cure for the HIVirus, given as how its constant mutation pretty much thwarts efforts for a vaccine.Blade-of-the-Moon wrote:I would have to say that if a werewolf was created by being bitten then there would probably be a cure perhaps similar to the aids virus ( but that would make an astonishing number of werewolves ), but if someone is born a werewolf I don't see a cure being possible unless it's through some form of genetic manipulation which is oddly how in one story I read someone became a werewolf.

There is no theory that different races of people evolved from different animals, aside from some rantings of some of the Social Darwinists of the 19th century. Perhaps you're thinking of some legends of how some people claimed particular animals as ancestors?
Question is, will there be a cure? We can't even eliminate the common cold.Blade-of-the-Moon wrote: By a similarity I meant that we don't know of a cure yet, but that doesn't mean there isn't one.

I do know a man that worked for the Polio Foundation and he swears that they held up the Salk Vaccine as long as they could (Russia was using it long before we were) because they knew that as soon as the Salk vaccine was available, they'd be out of their jobs.
But is that any more horiific than the Syphalis studies or the studies with radioisotopes or studies of the effects of LSD on soldiers or telling people near nuclear test zones that fallout was safe or having soldiers almost at ground zero to determine the effects of a nuclear blast or touching off an atomic bomb when it wasn't known whether it would burn the earth to a cinder or not or ignoring warnings in a missle silo in the midwest until the thing blew up (and thank goodness the warhead didn't go off) etc., etc.

The common cold is not caused by one, mutable virus, but by the 200 various species of rhinovirus. Then there's the fact that the common cold is often confused with influenza, and that there are a dozen or more varieties of influenzavirus, too.WolfVanZandt wrote:I don't think there's a cure for the cold simply because the cold virus is so mutable that it's hard to get a grip on the sucker to kill it, BUT.......
There is indeed no cure for the common cold because of the fact that the 200 + species of rhinovirus which cause the cold would require separate vaccines, even though they all cause the same symptoms.Figarou wrote:Blade-of-the-Moon wrote:I really think there is a cure for the common cold, but think how much money would be lost if it was cured....
This sort of stuff scares me. People banking on other people because of some stupid belief. "There is no cure for the common cold."
Ah!! but there is a cure!! Oh wait..if everyone is cured, then I won't make money from cold medications. There is no cure.
Phooey!!
Of course. There is no cure. I was making an example if there was a cure that they won't release it.Apokryltaros wrote:The common cold is not caused by one, mutable virus, but by the 200 various species of rhinovirus.

And who in their right minds in this board would want to get 200 + shots in the arm to guard against the cold?
