Guest guest Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Help me to understand what someone wrote: "Valtrex only treats herpes, and chickenpox-" SO everyone using VALTREX is looking to eliminate these specific viruses only ? Because I thought it was used to treat a multitude of viral infections, not just these two. My child never had herpes, so why would I give him this? I am sooo confused right now.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Valtrex is an antiviral that works for viruses including several in the herpes class. If you include all herpes viruses many believe that just about every child has some type. Plus Valtrex seems to improve methylation in some children possibly by modulating adenosine. My son never tested positive for any herpes virus and he recovered using this combination therapy.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Additionally, blocking purine metabolism, which is one way Valtrex works, can slow replication of many viruses beyond herpes. Don't be scared off by folks thinking its just about herpes. Stan " Valtrex only treats herpes, and > chickenpox- " SO everyone using VALTREX is looking to eliminate these specific viruses > only ?

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 ok I have to ask this as I rushed my daughter to the ER last night for a 104.5 fever, she has a rash all over her girl parts below and low and behold it's herpies......wouldn't this be the STD kind> how does a 3 year old get this??? I have never had even a cold soar and no one we know is broken out, the only thing I can think of is we just a new batch of LDN after having about 5 days break and I started both the kids back on it, could we be stirring a laten virus, or could my son who ISN"T showing symptoms being shedding it, they have shared a bath.....do I need to take percausions with my 6 month old. she was put on alvacor???? something like that? Recovering from Autism is a marathon NOT a sprint, but FULLY possible!
