Abstract:Due to their mutability and variability, infective viruses existed and developed in a manner of uncertainty, which is analogous to the uncertainty of electrons in physics. Human’s battle against viruses is therefore very difficult. With the concept of uncertainty mathematics, this paper suggested for the first time that thousands of unknown chemical components of the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) may play an inhibitive and disruptive role in conquering viruses. Such using uncertainty of chemicals to direct disturbances against non-predictive mutation of viruses may act as an advanced cocktail treatment on viruses. A rational manipulation of such uncertainty strategy with the advantages of systems biology may prove to be efficient as well as scientific to prohibit virus-based diseases and establish a theoretical bridge connecting the TCM with modern medicine.
