In this case, C is the least effective treatment when the virus has already spread a lot, because the immune system is already “destroyed” and so trying to boost the little amount of the healthy cells left would not do anything at an advanced stage of the disease.

No; it really depends on what you are treating. For example, penicillin is not specific, yet it can cure a person fully from certain diseases. |

this one was a challenge, because i agree that boosting what little amount of immune system left is a frivolous task. But wouldn't if follow that if the virus has already proliferated and killed many t cells, putting in nucleotide analogues would be useless too, because they're arent proliferating at nearly the rate they were in the beginning; hence not a whole lot of viable cells to do their dirty work (ie replication of genetic material)
seriously subjective question imo |
