Guest guest Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Hi Jodi, Here's a list of supplements from Dr Weil's website: http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/id/ART00675 Also, I understood Lysine helps cold sores. Here's what Dr Weil has to say about cold sores: http://www.drweil.com/drw/u/ART00356/Cold-Sores.html Hope you feel better. Best wishes, Jann BTW: What supplements are you currently taking other than 'probiotics' ? ie; vitamin C ?? Also, have you tested your vitamin D level with the '25, hyrdoxy blood test'?

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 Jodi, I believe you sufer from IBD. I also do. I just started LDN yesterday in hopes of getting off Remicade some day. In response to your email you mentioned that you started acidophilous. The doctor I see is researching probiotics and making his own. He started me on sacchromyces boulardii and also recommended GI48. They can both be found on vitacost.com. Get the sacchormyces from allergy research group. This particular probiotic made a world of difference. I was wondering if anyone could offer how I might know that the LDN is making a difference. I really have no IBD symptoms, it has stayed in remission since beginning Remicade.

It's very mild at this point. I also have a herpes/cold sorecoming out on my lip. My husband told me the other day that I feltwarm and that it felt like I had a fever but I didn't check it.I just introduced acidophilous- I am unsure if it is related as Iusually react quite harshly to intro'ing probiotics.. it gives mehorrible intestinal spasms and narrowing.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2008 Report Share Posted December 5, 2008 Have you ever tried Zicam? You can get it in many forms at the drug store, and if taken consistantly can knock out a cold or the flu--------its a homeopathic.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2008 Report Share Posted December 7, 2008 Zicam really works for me, I use the swabs. I am vigilant when it comes to colds and how I feel. At the 1st sign of a cold(which could be extra tiredness and a sore throat,sneezing) I do a Zicam and I also do 1000mg of Vitamin C. I have been doing this for a couple years.
