Advice on fever, sore throat & liver detox test

July 5, 2007

My son has been on SCD for 7 weeks now and is showing slow, gradual improvement

with his nausea and intestinal issues which he has had for years, but also has

had fever of 100.4-101 since Dec. and a sore throat. He has a highly elevated

Epstein Barr Virus antibody level with one of the antibodies, but the other two

are normal. Three of four drs. we've been to are calling it mono, and we assume

it is that or something due to the Epstein Barr virus. Anyway, does anyone have

any ideas of anything that would help him to get over this?

Also, the dr. is recommending a test to assess how his liver is detoxing

chemicals, etc. He would have to take 1 NoDoz, 2 Tylenol and 2 Aspirin in one

afternoon. If there is a problem it would be treated with supplements. Then we

would have to be sure the supps are SCD legal. Any opinions/advice on this?

Thanks very much, Becky

Use of a sauna can help with the virus.
