Insurance won't cover Valtrex, natural antivirals?

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

We've been on Valtrex/diflucan or Nizoral for the past 9 months. 2 days ago our

new insurance began refusing to cover Valtrex. At $5 a pill 3x a day we cannot

afford to pay out of pocket for it since we have been paying out of pocket for

so many other interventions. So we decided to see how he does off of it. So far

a little more stimmy but no regressions yet.

We would like to try a natural antiviral instead and wanted to know what people

have had success with. We are looking into Virastop, OLE or Lysine. My son was

the kind of kid who was sick all the time last year and since starting Valtrex

his immune system has really gotten much stronger and now he rarely gets sick

and fights off viruses much faster. Which natural antivirals can help keep his

immune system strong? We are already on Vitamin C, Zinc and Colostrum. Also, can

I go off rx antifungals and switch to natural antifungals as well?

Thanks so much for your input!
