摘要

由流行病學模式之推演提供對感染個體有效治療之理論基礎。喝水對病毒感染之治療是「可行策略」，尤其對仍然沒有有效醫療方法之疾病更為重要。依據模式預測，對感染之最佳被動式策略乃是限制固體食物之進食，而增加流體之攝取。此乃因為減少進食可緩和可能被感染之部位再度擴大。而持續水分之攝取對患病部位亦有降減與「清洗」之效果。相反逆向操作，限制之流體進食，而增加固體食物之攝取，反會造成病體疾病傳染之持續蔓延擴大，對病體並無基本上之人為治療效果。

An epidemic model is presented to provide theoretical considerations for effective remediation of infected individuals. Water-drinking is feasible to curing of viral infection, especially as no effective medication is available. The best strategy is to limit food ingestion and increase fluid intake, since decreased ingestion reduces augmentation of susceptible components to be infected. Moreover, continuous fluid intake attenuates and washes out infected components in infected individuals. In contrast, the worst is to increase food ingestion and decrease water intake, as augmentation of susceptible components and persistence of infected component enhance ”chronic” disease transmission of viral infection.
