My daughter is sick as much as she is well, we get a lot of sore throats, sinus infections, glue ear, we all can no longer tolerate gluten or milk.

Even my dog has upper respiratory issues and can't digest certain dog foods. He also has phobias and won't go outside without an escort. (He is 180 lb Mastiff). It just feels like everything in our house is always sick. My kids don't go to day care or school so I don't know how they are sick so much. both have been high in metals, (my son we chelated, so he is ok now), but I am at a crossroadsas to what to do next. I think the viral route might be our answer.

The new retrovirus is XMRV. I thought this might bring a little insight and hope. This virus is much simplier than HIV and they have already found some drugs that work on XMRV which are currently used on HIV, so those drugs only have to go through human trials before hitting the market for XMRV. The area of research has been focused on cronic fatigue, but they have done testing on autistic childern and have found to a large percentage test positive for this retrovirus. HIV infection in children - neurodevelopmental (autistic) outcomes and clinical pathologies- and their correlations to 'common' autism There is a striking correlation between neurodevelopmental symptoms often found in children infected with HIV virus and those children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders (of unknown aetiology). Furthermore, the underlying clinical pathologies found in HIV-positive children are in many ways identical to biomedical pathologies found in children diagnosed with â€˜commonâ€™ autism. The mechanisms of HIV-injury on host cellular systems have been identified in recent years and these pathologies match those found in â€˜commonâ€™ autism, such as microglial activation, cellular calcium overload, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, vasoconstriction, glutathione depletion, chronic inflammation of gastrointestinal and central and peripheral nervous systems etc (see list below). Many treatment agents used in treating autism, weather with studied and proven beneficial effects or anecdotal reports of reducingautistic symptoms in some affected individuals, have antiretroviral mode of action and have been shown to inhibit the viral activity and/or reduce HIV viral load. Neurodevelopmental findings in HIV infected children Impairments in language, especially expressive language, behavioural symptoms: irritability, lack of social skills, repetitive actions (rocking etc). Severity of autistic symptoms in HIV positive children is correlated to levels of the viral load/replication, as well as CD4+ levels. Autistic symptoms â€“ deficits in language, behaviour and social skills â€“ in HIV infected children often recover upon administration of single or combination antiretroviral treatments, at least to some degree. Sometimes recovery is complete, with total remission of autistic symptoms. HIV infected children sometimes develop normally and regress later, usually between 1.5-2 years of age. This is linked to increased HIV viral load. Latent retrovirus/HIV can bereactivated by vaccinations. In addition to this, live virus vaccines, especially MMR, often come with a warning for HIV infected individuals with low CD4+ counts â€“ inability to mount appropriate immune responses results in vaccine virus persistence. For example polio vaccine strain has been found in gastrointestinal tract of vaccinated individuals. No antibody production to Dtp or measles live virus vaccine. These findings have lead to proposals that both immunotherapy and vaccination of HIV-infected individuals should be accompanied by administration of an antiviral drug(s). In addition, it is suspected that exposure to antigenic stimulation through vaccinations may enhance the susceptibility of uninfected subjects to HIV-1 (reactivation by endogenous retroviruses by external stressors, including vaccinations, has been proposed as causal in other autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis and arthritis) Gastrointestinal findings in HIV positivechildren match those found in â€˜commonâ€™ autism: Leaky gut and malabsorbtion of nutrients Dysregulated production of digestive enzymes (impaired pancreatic function) Abnormal immune reactions to gliadin and casein Lactose intolerance Sugar intolerance Inability to digest complex carbohydrates Inability to absorb fats and proteins Gastrointestinal pathogen overload: secondary intestinal viruses, bacterial overload. Abnormal immune reactivity to candida albicans. Others: Impaired fine and gross motor skills in HIV positive children Impaired sensory â€“ auditory and visual processing Subclinical hypothyroidism (in adults, no data on children) Pathological mechanisms in HIV infection HIV causes calcium overload and mitochondrial dysfunction (also found in â€˜commonâ€™ autism) HIV causes oxidative stress and glutathione depletion (found in â€˜commonâ€™ autism) HIV causes microglial activation and inflammation (also found in â€˜commonâ€™ autism) HIVcombined with bacterial agents causes breakdown of the blood brain barrier (bbb breakdown suspected in â€˜commonâ€™ autism) HIV causes glutamate exitotoxicity (dyregulated GABA/glutamate mechanisms observed in â€˜commonâ€™ autism) HIV causes vasoconstriction - tightening of blood vessels that supply oxygen to brain (found in â€˜commonâ€™ autism) HIV inhibits methylation (abnormal methylation found in â€˜commonâ€™ autism) Many modalities currently used for treating autism have proven or suspected antiretroviral effects: â€¢ chelation of metals inhibits HIV virus integration into human DNA. Retroviruses in general are desintegrated by chelation agents in vitro. Several chelators have been patented as antiretroviral agents. Several agents with chelating properties, such as alpha lipoic acid (ALA) and NAC have been shown to reduce viral load in HIV positive individuals â€¢ Tetracycline antibiotics (one currently on trial for autism) inhibit HIV in vitrothrough same mechanism as chelation agents. â€¢ HIV is inhibited by glutathione and agents that raise glutathione â€¢ Acyclovir/valacyclo vir (antiviral agent with anti-herpevirus activity, with anecdotal reports of amelioration of autistic symptoms) has been shown to reduce HIV viral load in HIV positive individuals. The mechanisms are not clear. â€¢ Hyperbaric oxygen has been shown to inhibit HIV and reduce viral load. â€¢ Pancreative enzymes trial showed beneficial effect in HIV positive. â€¢ Methylation agents such as cobalamins and SAMe directly inhibit HIV activity and maintain its latency.

Gotcha. Still I'm not convinced that injecting our bodies with metals and viruses goes without consequense..... Some more severe than others.

I pray you are able to find a cause and heal your body. I look forward to the day you report that you feel 100%!
