Hi Luke : ) I want to second Luke's recommendation of red marine algae. I

have been using it since Luke recommended it to me (we live near each other),

and it definitely helps with my main problems, which are fevers, painful

lymph nodes and a general " flu-like " malaise. I also get it from

dynamune.com (no affiliation).

It also increases my energy, I think because with the viruses better

contained, energy is freed up.

Luke,

are you just a patient, or do you have some financial interest in this

product you are mentioning?

Sounds interesting,what symptoms did it help?Any effect on fatigue or

sleep?

boy i am beginning to smell a sales pitch.

It was mostly flu like symptoms: malaise, generally feeling like

hell. Not fatigue directly, though I did increase my activity level

just because I wasn't feeling so lousy.

fifteen dollars for a bottle of 90. I don't have a financial interest and as

far as know, Luke doesnt either. We are in the same local support group

here, that's how he happened to tell me.

hi : ) I personally have no idea if it's the hhv6 it's working on. I

just know that I have tested positive for active hhv6 (pcr test for antigen

in the blood) and the algae helps my " viral " symptoms. Steph

Hi!

I also have a post CFS friend that uses Red Marine Algae and recommends it

highly.

I use butter for my cold sores. I put it on when they break out and make sure I

have butter daily in my diet. I haven't had a cold sore for a year.

I was curious, the red marine alge lowered

HHV6...is this anecdotal or a scientificically

measured and documented relationship?

The HHV6 and the symptoms you're talking

about.. is there a scientifically proven causual

relationship between the two or is this also

anecdotal?...............................

not that there's anything wrong with anecdotal

stories, I would just like to read the evidience,

it there any,

Has it been tested for mercury or other heavy metals? Where does it come

from - at least the particular brand you are using?

This is all new to me, but I found a couple of references on

Medline, don't know if it's the same strain of red marine algae.

Antiherpes virus effect of the red marine alga Polysiphonia denudata.

Serkedjieva J.

Institute of Microbiology, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Sofia.

viroljul@...

The water extract from the red marine alga Polysiphonia denudata

(Dillwyn) Kutz. from the Bulgarian Black Sea coast selectively

inhibited the reproduction of herpes virus type 1 and type 2 in cell

cultures (EC50=8.7 to 47.7 mg/ml) as shown by the reduction of virus-

induced cytopathic effect and viral infectivity. The virus-

inhibitory effect was dose-related, strain-specific and depended on

virus inoculum. The inhibition affected adsorption as well as the

intracellular stages of viral replication. The presence of the

extract throughout the whole replicative cycle was necessary for the

full expression of the antiviral effect. In higher concentrations

(MIC90=6.5 mg/ml) the extract exhibited strong extracellular virus

inactivating activity.

Inhibitory effect of sulfated galactans from the marine alga

Bostrychia montagnei on herpes simplex virus replication in vitro.

Duarte ME, Noseda DG, Noseda MD, Tulio S, Pujol CA, Damonte EB.

Departamento de Bioquimica, Universidade Federal do Parana, Centro

Politecnico, Curitiba, Brasil.

Sulfated polysaccharides exhibit many biological properties such as

antiviral and anticoagulant activities. Herein, we report the

antiviral activity of sulfated galactans extracted from the red sea-

weed Bostrychia montagnei against herpes simplex virus types 1

(strain F and the thymidine kinase-deficient strains Field and

B2006) and 2 (strain G). Two crude extracts obtained with cold and

hot water as well as some fractions obtained by anion exchange

chromatography, inhibited significantly the replication of the

different strains of herpesviruses as determined by plaque reduction

assays. The inhibitory effect of the compounds studied here took

place only when they were added during the adsorption period. They

were found to be highly selective antiviral substances, causing no

impairment of Vero cell viability. Furthermore, they had no direct

inactivating effect on virions by incubation in a virucidal assay.

The antiviral activity could be correlated with the molecular weight

and sulfate content of the polysaccharides. Although sulfated

polysaccharides are generally endowed with anticoagulant properties,

the results of the activated partial thromboplastin time and the

thrombine time assays indicated that the natural sulfated

polysaccharides from Bostrychia montagnei have very low

anticoagulant activity, confirming that there is no relation between

the antiviral and anticoagulant properties.

Thanks Laurie! I sent a copy of this to my doctor. I've already

been trying to get him to try it on a few patients. Maybe this will

turn the trick.
