Guest guest Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 I don't know of an OTC antiviral. I want to post out of concern... and I don't mean to alarm anyone... hopefully a medical person on the list can clarify this... By no means am I a medical professional. I seem to remember hearing several years ago (possibly on this list/chat) that the herpes simplex viruses (HHV1-2) are labeled " simple " because they are basic viruses, affecting only a few areas of the body, and if they got into your brain they would kill you. And the other herpes viruses, numbers 3 and up, are " complex " because they know how to get into key parts of the host's body and survive without killing the host. I personally know people with the chicken pox virus (HHV-3) in their brain (base of the skull- causing headaches/etc) and another in the inner ear (causing balance problems and facial nerve pain). And of course the numerous kids that have HHV-6 affecting brain function. - in Mobile, AL ______________________________________ " You must write for children in the same way as you do for adults, only better.

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 There are no OTCs I would trust for an antiviral. If your child had encephalitis, you wouldn't want to risk a weak antiviral therapy " stirring up " a virus. Under-treating with too low a dose of the rx antivirals for too short of a period of time is risky because herpes viruses can easily build resistance to antivirals, which is risky for our kids. ________________________________ From: Lucy Hardage <granny.lucy@...> Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2008 4:33:15 PM Subject: anti virals Hello, Also, can anyone recommend an over the counter anti viral ?

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 I agree. If this is the case, that it sounds like it needs the big guns for treatment. Before deciding on , I looked into more natural ways of treating my son for high viral loads. I was also going to go to my DAN MD for Valtrex, but also decided against this. I read alot on the MB12 Valtrex website about parents saying their DAN docs were not as use to giving antivirals- pharmaceuticals- and did not give them for long enough nor at high enough doses. This is why we went with the protocol, which is what these MD's do as customary in using the antivirals as they do. If I was going to do this for my son, I wanted to do it the right way and once. I do not know if this is common with DAN mds or not in using antivirals. Maybe others can share any experience with this also.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 > Is it better to start an anti viral before or after chelation? Chances are, you are already giving low- to low-medium doses of anti-virals already. I would keep those doses, and start chelation. Once you reach the point where chelating is no longer increasing yeast, try increasing the anti-virals. Viral die off caused more yeast here than chelation did.
