What are the viruses at issue with you and what are the drugs?

Would taking l-lysine be a good general thing for someone with high viral

titers who is taking an antiviral to take indefinitely?

Thanks,

I would take the l-Lysine and vitamin C along with the Nexavir.

How did you take the and what brand were you using?

Most folks dilute their drops in a cup of hot water and call it 'tea time'.

I do not recall dizziness when taking it, but I was pretty much out of it at

the time and spending most of my time horizontal.

Hope this helps

What I was wondering is whether it's useful to supplement l-lysine along

with whatever antiviral is being taken right at the outset, to augment the

effectiveness of the drug, and perhaps make it possible to take a lower

dose. mjh, I actually got hold of a bottle of extract made from

fresh herb, but it seemed to be making me dizzy-- I guess it was the

component that acts as a sedative (I'm very sensitive to this sort of

thing) -- so I stopped. Maybe when I'm stronger I'll be able to use that

instead of nexavir.

Alcohol is used as a preservative. When the tincture is added to very hot

water, the alcohol evaporates.

Your other option is to grow your own and make tea (lemon balm) from

the fresh herb. You would need a nice little bit of it to do this. It is

easy to grow, and is a hardy herbaceous perennial.... meaning once established

it will be with you for many, many years. The planting that have gone wild

here was put in in 1976 or 1977. It has had no care for well over five

years, probably closer to ten years and just produces away....

What/who would be the best source for the melissa officinalis, alcohol-free?

What would be the range for the dose?

Thanks,

THis extract seems properlly made. I do not use water when I tincture, but

everyone has their own method

Someone else on this list was using Supreme.... which is a

combination product, not made with fresh and designed for relaxation.

And,

that it did, though nothing for the anti-viral effect.

Try reducing the amount and take it several times a dayand see if that gets

around the dizziness issue. And, give it a few days for your body to adjust,

too.

mjh,

I was getting it from a place that grows their own herbs and makes their own

extracts from them. The guy spoke to seemed very knowledgeable. For anyone

interested, their web site is http://floraleads.com/melissa/. I was putting in

an increasing amount of drops in some water. I don't think it was the

alcohol affecting me, because I know I can tolerate more alcohol than what was

in

those drops.

mjh,

EBV, HHV-6, and parvo. I just started nexavir (formerly kutapressin).
