Guest guest Posted May 13, 2010 Report Share Posted May 13, 2010 you might want to consider OLE. Its a good anti-viral. Karla > > Hi everyone... I really believe my son has strep-ocd, ritualistic, lots of melt downs... We have not run a test for this. He responds very well to virastop between meals. I am considering monolaurin and would like to hear stories or advice on how to handle this. He is sulfur sensitive and is sensitive to phenols. Like Defelice describes in her book-he becomes cuddle and very social with a spiked fever... which makes me think there is a viral issue we have hardly dealt with. > > susan > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Hi I don't know if the virus for strep-ocd is any different... but my daughter had strep all the way through her gut lining and we had to put her on two rounds of metranidazole (antibiotics). Ten days on, then ten days off and then ten days on again. Since then she is on probiotics morning and evening and her behavior not to mention her bowel movements have improved. She now sleeps through the night and her head spinning has also got much less.  ________________________________ From: susanpruyne <susanpruyne@...> Sent: Fri, May 14, 2010 7:16:13 AM Subject: need help with strep  Hi everyone...

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 My son has PANDAS (strep antibodies gone crazy) and OLE (olive leave extract) has worked really well for us to calm that viral overactivity. It's kinda stinky even if you're swallowing the capsule. Inositol has worked well too for OCD behaviors. We are on a prophylatic antibiotic constantly and that's bringing the titers down too. We like GABA and salt baths for calming. We totally work on the gut too because we deal with yeast/clostridia. Sara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read at some point that Virastop may help with bacteria issues, but it is usually used for virus issues. Your child might have both strep and virus issues. Monolaurin helps with viruses, not sure about bacteria. It caused so much yeast overgrowth here that I eventually had to remove it and use something else for viruses. So watch for that. >>He is sulfur sensitive and is sensitive to phenols.

Then yes, you may be dealing with both strep bacteria and viruses. There were several things here that caused OCD for my son, including viruses. So just because your child is OCD, does not necessarily mean he has a strep issue. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 We don't have viral issues, however monolaurin has been good for us. The only issue we have (no pill swallowing) is the taste. It's 1/4 tsp capsule (big) and it tastes like ivory soap, ugh. We have to mix it in nut butter to mask the taste. The fruit sauces don't mask it well. Our guy is also sulfur sensitive. We do homeopathic 200k sulfur and it is amazing the difference it makes in the meltdowns for us. Our NP said that our guy apparently needs help with the sulfation cycle (meaning sulfur) not the methylation cycle (meaning b12) For the phenol issue we give him No-Fenol powder.. Works well and helps him sleep thru the night. We do the monolaurin and No-Fenol twice a day with bfst and dinner. Hope this helps nancy j From: susanpruyne <susanpruyne@...> Subject: need help with strep Date: Thursday, May 13, 2010, 9:16 PM  Hi everyone...
