Dr. Goldberg is also using now Imunovir which is an immunodulating agent with

antiviral properties. It looks like it has been quite effective in many

children.

Below is some information about Imunovir.

Boost your immune system.

Imunovir™ contains inosine pranobex, an antiviral medication which is used to

treat certain viral infections. We believe that by stimulating the immune system

the infected individual will be better armed to fight the virus.

Don't just fight ONE virus.

Imunovir™ is known by different names around the world including Isoprinosine,

Viruxan, Prinosine and Virimun. It is approved for a variety of viral infections

resulting from depression of the immune system:

Aolpecia areata (hair loss),

Chronic fatigue Syndrome

Cytomegalovirus (CMV),

Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV),

Hepatitis acute and non-chirrotic chronic active B,

Herpes simplex virus (HSV),

Human papillomavirus (HPV),

Influenza (flu),

Measles,

Mumps,

Viral conjunctivitis,

Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE),

Varicella zoster virus (VZV).

My son saw Dr. G for a few years and has been on the medications for many

years. Recently, it seems that the Valtrex isn't as effective so we are

considering asking his current doctor to have him try a new anti-viral. I'm

curious to know which anti-viral medications Dr. G is using these days. I

hear talk of Imunovir. Is he still using Famvir as well? Any others?

Can you get Imunovir from regular pharmacies now or is it special order?

Immunovir is not an antiviral it is a immune modulator and increases NK cell

counts. We are on Acyclovir.

Bill,

Imunovir is prescribed in other countries as a treatment for viral infections.

 Please read the link from the distributor in Canada.

Immunivor is used to treat viral infects but as I understand it, the medications

grouped as antivirals are replicator inhibitors. They prevent viruses from

reproducing themselves. Immunovir is very different. It addresses the T2 shift.

(see attached) Immunivor modulates the immune system to allow an increase if the

T cell count is low and decrease where the Tcell count is high. The viruses

themselves are controlled by the child's own, now functioning, immune system. It

should not be the only or primary medication in that this process may take

months or longer. If you stop Valtrex and then start immunovir you probably will

not be controlling a chronic viral infection any time soon.

Immunivor is not approved by the FDA/CDC so it is only available outside the US.

I get it from Pharmex of Canada. Additionally it is not covered by insurance -

again FDA related. It costs a couple hundred + a month.

Dear Bill,

This is a good topic, because many people frequently asks how medications work

and there is not one good answer that is easy to find. In my previous post I

said that Imunovir is an immunodulating agent with antiviral properties. That

is exactly what you are saying, but in terms that is easier for most parents to

understand.

I think we need to upload a document to the group with a detailed

explanation of the protocol and an explanation of how these medications

work. Or even, post it in the nids.net website.

Hey Gaylen,

He still primarily uses Valtrex & Famvir, but if after a year + he isn't seeing

the results he wants, he may try the one that comes in liquid to get a very

accurate dose but has to be given 5 times a day... it seems like it was

acyclovir but I could be wrong.  I think acyclovir was one he previously

refused to use - so I'd hope someone else will confirm or correct that.

He's also now using Immunovir (Bill has good details in some previous posts if

you search his w/immunovir as the topic) for kids with low natural killer

cells.  It raises NKs (takes minimum of 6 months to start getting results, and

has to have doses 'pulsed' - varied) and has immune modulating properties.  You

can google Klimas's talking about it recently to some of her CFS patients,

or the link may be in the posts too.

HTH-
