Re: new doc appt., she claims viral?!

[Guest guest]

So what does she do to get rid of the virus? Saying adrenal fatigue is

due to a virus doesn't say anything, to my mind. It still has to be

treated. I don't know what you meant to convey, but I read what you

wrote as your doctor saying " adrenal fatigue is caused by a virus, and

therefore must be left untreated " . Hope that isn't the case.

Personally, I think my adrenal insufficiency might indeed have something

to do with EBV. But that doesn't help me much.

I don't know much about latent viral infections but from my reading

about it in mercury toxic individuals, there's usually a history of

immunosuppression or odd history of viral infections.

The protocol is to take various antivirals every day, increasing the

dose slowly. There's some sort of viral dieoff reaction if someone

does have a latent virus. Most of the antivirals are off the shelf -

olive leaf extract, large doses of lysine, vitamin c (in some people),

large doses of proteolytic or antiviral enzymes (e.g. enzymedica

virastop), other herbals, sometimes prescription valtrex. Try the

enzymesandautism yahoo group. There is a lot of experience there with

treating latent viruses.

I've heard of CFS being caused by a virus, so it makes sense that

adrenal fatigue can be caused by one, because the two are related.

Yea, what is she doing to treat you, there are MANY treatments out

there for viruses and many tests she can do to see if you've got one.

THe candida virus, the Hep virusrs, the Herpes viruses(not the kind

you're thinking), some C one, etc...

You should start looking into CFS, and make a list of viruses to be

chekced for. Thats what Im doing!

Hopefully they do it.

Good Luck
