Zero Balancing (ZB, pronounced Zee Bee) can be defined as the art and skill of balancing body energy with body structure through the use of conscious touch. ZB is unique as a therapeutic tool, as its aim is to work with energy and structure simultaneously. ZB bridges the gap between energetic therapies and structural therapies, maximizing the potential of both and creating a new world of possibilities for health-care professionals.
In mice treated with ordinarily sublethal doses of parathion 2 to 5 days postinfection with murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) 50 to 100% mortality was observed. These mortalities appeared to be due to a decrease in the ability of infected mice to detoxify parathion. Pentobarbital-induced sleeping time was also enhanced 3 and 6 days postinfection and cytochrome P-450 concentrations were markedly depressed in mice tested 3 days after infection. MCMV-induced effects on sensitivity to parathion and pentobarbital did not appear to be directly attributable to liver infection since concentrations of virus in the liver persisted at maximum concentrations well beyond the time when sensitivity to these compounds returned to normal. The time frame during which enhanced sensitivity to parathion and pentobarbital was observed suggests that this sensitivity may have been caused by viral-induced interferon-mediated depression of cytochrome P-450.
