Guest guest Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 , My son did not ART test well for the Valtrex and there were concerns so we never did Valtrex. My son tried the high dose Vit A which he responded negatively to (extremely agressive...definately not my son). He did OLE (tincture with Ginko), BioPure Stephania, Transfer Factor, Monolaurin, and Ambrotose (his body Loves this) before starting the LDM-100. He has very successfully been on/off rotation of approx 60 days on/30 days off the LDM-100 for a about 16 months now. We are currently on Monolaurin and LDM-100. I wanted to recommend you read the TACA presentation Dr. Amy Derksen did last weekend for us up here in WA that's in the files. She lays out many things including what she has found in regards to anti- virals. She lists Valtrex as last resort. She lists clinical signs of Viruses, 2 pages of treating Viruses, and 3 pages of info on LDM-100. Rita > > Hi again. My son is currenty taking Valtrex and I have been reading a > lot about LDM-100.

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Rita- You will have to forgive me if I get any medical terminology wrong but I am not familiar with this route. Is the anti-viral protocol you mentioned by an herbalist, naturopath, or a homeopath. It all sounds very interesting. If I could find a natural route that would be as effective for him as Valtrex, and kick bacteria's tail too, I would be very happy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Rita- BTW, I have reveiewed the Files section and I did go through Dr Derkson's presentation. It was very good. I am excited about learning all of this. I have discovered a whole new avenue of treatment but it will take me a little while to learn the ropes! When you think Kirkmans, think me! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Hi , My son tried Valtrex first for 6 months then LDM100 for his anti-viral protocol. He was not a responder to Valtrex. Furthermore Valtrex + nizoral were hard on his liver by assesssing few of his liver test results. That is why I need to look for alternative. Then I started to look into LDM100 after reading several Rita's posts in CK2 + MB12 Vlatrex discussion groups. My son stopped valtrex + nizoral in July & start to use LDM100 in early Aug this year. He had been on LDM100 for two months then he is now taking a break, will continue his LDM100 journey in Nov again. With LDM100, he does not need to take any prescribed anti-fugal drugs such as Nizoral or Diflucan simply just rotating natural herbs such as Garlic,Caprylic acid etc. He responses to LDM100 nicely as comments from ABA tutors & school teachers are all very postitive.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 , This is interesting...all 3 (herbalist, naturopath, and homeopathic). The one that introduced us to the LDM-100 was a herbalist (MSTR degree in herbology). A group of us in WA state see a naturopath (Dr Amy that trained directly with Dr Klinghardt). They do A LOT of herbs and homeopathy in addition to the regular ASD/DAN! stuff. Several of us started seeing the herbalist in addition to Dr Amy. He is very international and here for a short time getting his PhD (he has since left the area). I had hit a viral wall with all the other stuff, so I asked him if he had anything to push me through this tuff viral layer I was dealing with. He mentioned the LDM-100 and said he would connect with Dr. Amy on it (they respected each other and were working together for our children). They collaborated treatment and he started my son (one of the first of many in WA to sucessfully use the LDM-100 for anti-viral treatment. This is why Dr. Amy worked with it early on, has talked with the herbalist and the manufacter, Barlow Herbal. She's been working with it 1 1/2 years now). We pretty much kept it to WA as a control group until the beginning of this year when we posted about it on some of the bigger groups (MB12Valtrex..Lorina showed Stan a picture of Zander at the DAN! and he was actually asking for more info before we posted...that's when Lorina & I co-ordinated efforts to help each other, chelatingkids2 and abmd all had posts put up about it early this year. You can advance search those groups using LDM-100 and LDM100 to find out more.) We know these are very new treatments on ASD children, that children that are not ready for the treatments can have bad die-off reactions, and that few doctors are trained or accepting of things this new and therefore many are hesitant to use it. We still felt it important to put the word out about it. Personally, as new as it was I had enough good experience with both doctors to trust them, and am very greatful for them and these treatments, they have helped my son a lot! Many times in the LDM-100 treatments we have had to use other herbs or homeopaths in addition to the LDM-100 treatments, so I would not say it is a cure all for everything, but for us it sure started the ball rolling in the right direction and has helped us maintain the progressive movement forward. I highly recommend you also review the LDM-100 recap in the files section and the rash photos on the group before you make any decisions. It is not a 1st line anti-viral treatment, but it sounds like you've been on other anti-virals so you should be fine. If your metals are high, expect to have a metal binders on board (metals will dump as you kill the virus which will kick up both yeast and behaviors). Your binders and anti-fungal protocols are important. Several on this group have research and used it, you'll have good support on this group. This group is very Beyond BioMedical and we post/support most on this group because of it's established nature, progressiveness and well educated participants. If you need anything just let us know and we'll help the best we can. All the best!

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 I am being opened up to a whole new world! This is so cool! My friend sees a homeopath that she absolutely loves so I have contacted her (the homeopath)to find out her experience with lyme and what her treatment protocol is for lyme. Our local HFS has an herbalist that comes in for consults so I am going to set something up with her as well. I also sent an email to his DAN to find out where he stands on this. I am so glad I followed Heidi here or else I would have stayed in DAN mode forever! Not that it is bad, it brought us a long, long way and for that I am very grateful. I was going to ask our DAN to write a lab slip for lyme testing. Question: No matter where the testing gets done is it recommended to do the rizol treatment? Will that help testing that would be done through a lab like labcorp. I want to try to get insurance to cover the testing. If we get a negative but repsond to treatment I will go through another lab. Is that an okay plan or am I spinning my wheels? Our biggest obstacle is definitely die-off. I try to do charcoal when symptoms are bad but it is hard because he is in school all day and when he is home I have a hard time finding a 2 hour window where charcoal can be given. Any recommendations? Also, for anti-fungal support we do THerbiotic Complete from Klaire Labs, Diflucan, and Sacc B. We are having die off. If it is yeast I think it is very slight (I am seeing fuzzy stools) but I really think the big problem is bacterial (the poops are green). YOu mentioned metal binders. Would metal binders be low dose DMSA or Detoxamin? What are some of the groups recommendations? Thanks for the help. I apologize for my lengthy messages. I have sure been keeping you all busy! > > > > Rita- You will have to forgive me if I get any medical terminology > > wrong but I am not familiar with this route.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 , #1) I have not personally gone through the lab testing for this ('s was energy and symptom diagnosed). I have read enough from the list and heard enough in conferences to advise you not to spin your wheels(unless you have plenty of $'s and time) doing standard testing without a challenge anti-biotic or specific herbal treatment first. The best thing I can recommend is check the LIA Foundation web site for the different protocols: http://liafoundation.org/ Tami's done a GREAT job of laying this all out. #2): is also in school. We layed out the best time for binders to be Right after school....which is 2 hours before dinner and evening supplements (for the Activated Charcoal). As you saw, Dr. Amy also recommends other binders, sometimes during heavy detox we were doing the other binders like Pectosol with the 30 min window in addition to the Pectosol and Activated Charcoal after school. Like Dr Amy says...Do as best you can and don't beat yourself up. #3) Like the Recap in the files mentions, during LDM-100 our herbalist only recommends EDTA and the milder forms of chelation...just as a metals binder. Let the body focus on the virus and bacteria. The body only has so much energy....don't stress it by trying to pull to much. I'm glad you had the chance to review both the TACA presentation and the Recap. Both were put up to help.
