In Response To: Re: Q&A (Zak Anderson) Calcium is a neccessary ingredient in the Human nervous system. It is what fires our synapses. Perhaps the Flood don't need it for their cell bodies, but actually to complete a connection between the Flood parasite and Host. I've also just read in a recent Scientific America magazine about virus' and wether they are truly alive. Remarkably, they descrbe how a virus can "come back to life" or bring it's host back to life. Essentially, when a cell loses it's DNA, it's done for. Cell processes can no longer continue, The Endoplasmic Reticulum stops making protiens, the Golgi Body stops packaging things, and so on. However, a virus can insert its own DNA into this 'dead' cell, and all the machinery will start up and run again. Meaning a virus doesn't need a living host. A virus also does this to itself in a different way: If any DNA is remaining, it can reassemble from all its broken parts, and voila, your Virus is back up and functioning again.
