Guest guest Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 I have not seen anything about any adverse times or combinations to keep away from Valtrex. My son has issues with enzymes so, I personally don’t have them in at the same time (not yet anyway). The 3x per day is because of the half life. - From: mb12 valtrex [mailto:mb12 valtrex ] On Behalf Of Sent: Wednesday, July 12, 2006 4:34 PM mb12 valtrex Subject: RE: Valtrex Thanks .

Guest guest Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 The first place I would start is with your son's diet. Runny noses are most commonly associated with fungus in the gut or the immune system reacting to specific foods. That's just my observation. I would start by looking at your son's diet. - Stan > > My son has had a chronic runny nose for 4 months.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 , I would not give calcium and zinc at the same time considering calcium inhibits the absorption of zinc.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Ok, if that's true than I've got to switch products! My son gets a "Cal,Mag,Zinc" pina colada flavored liquid supplement that has all three together. I mean that's how it's made! The company is Liqumins and and it has some ionic trace minerals in it as well. This is the first product he will actually take without spitting out! What does everybody think???

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 I did a google search and in Dr. Jim paper Vitamin and Mineral Supplements for People with a Autism he states: " Too much zinc can inhibit calcium absorption and too much calcium can inhibit zinc absorption. Zinc supplements should be taken separately from iron supplements, as they interfere with one another " . My son Ethan's zinc was super low and copper was high so we were giving a large amount of zinc 100mgs. After a while Ethan started pushing on his eyes. I read that pushing on your eyes is a calcium deficiency. As soon as I started supplementing with calcium he stopped pushing on his eyes. Now I supplement both but do calcium in the morning and zinc in the afternoon and night. His latest blood tests show his copper is down and his zinc is up. Just our experience. More than likely if you aren't giving extreme doses like we are and everything is balanced there shouldn't be a problem. FWIW Flo > > > > Ok, if that's true than I've got to switch products!

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 Neither calcium nor zinc are very nice team-players, but this doesn't mean they HAVE TO be given by themselves, unless you know there's a deficiency. Sure, in a perfect world, you'd give zinc separate from everything else, and calcium separate from everything else, but in reality, that's difficult. You don't have to make sure they absorb 100%, just that *enough* of everything gets in. My own approach is to give plenty of well-absorbed zinc along with everything else, and then give extra calcium separately, if his calcium levels are low. If his zinc looked low, I'd increase how much I'm giving, and if that wasn't sufficient, I'd add zinc separate from everything else for awhile. I think it's easy to get a " black or white " / " bad or good " thing going here, where there are actually lots of shades of gray. Calcium and zinc will absorb with everything else, just not as well as they would by themselves.
