RE: Re: Viral Clues/Anti-Virals affective other ways also

[Guest guest]

That is amazing, I wonder how the anti-virals are attacking the

hypotonia, does Dr. G offer any theories, is it an unknown virus, or

does the anti-viral possibly help through a different mode of action?

For instance, have heard of a small subset of kids with adenosine

dysfunction as the primary cause of their ASD and for some its genetic

(no enzyme activity to produce or regenerate adenosine, I think??) and

that valtrex actually has the side effect of lowering adenosine levels

for those where it has built up to unhealthy levels. It is rather

fascinating the potential effects of anti-virals that we may not even be

aware of. Also, off the top of my head, Amantadine (which is a flu

anti-viral) is off-label being prescribed for Parkinson's and

Alzheimer's as it regulates and/or affects dopamine and glutamate and I

have even heard of it really helping a sub-group of ASD children.

Hi -

Always possible, but at the same time, viral issues

(and other infections) and immune dysfunction are also

a part of Parkinson's and Alzheimers... why are these

levels elevated in the first place? And does the med

actually make these changes, are does treating the

infection make these changes? Cause and effect can't

totally be established right now in all areas with

100% certainty. But hypotonia can be a result of

infection due to the neurological inflammation, just

as there are documented cases of 12 & 14 year olds

developing persistent full-blown autistic syndrome

after mono-encephalitis. Hypotonia can be a direct

symptom.

Just as it is thought that the removal of metals

causes improvements in some chelated kids, but it

could actually have nothing to do with the metals but

more the immune modulation from blocking a sodium

channel or something (can't remember specifically but

can post it if asked to), etc...

There's a similar thought on why, in CFIDS, certain

antibiotics bring about improvement, and it's

suspected that there is a function of those

antibiotics that is helping something else rather than

the direct effect on an infection.

But with , it still keeps coming back to a

starting point of immune dysfunction, with everything

else appearing to be the result of rather than

specific cause... Dr G explains it better.
