Guest guest Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Trish, If you look in the files section the Viral file has some immune boosters listed. The file needs updating and doesn't include Epicor, which is supposed to be an immune modulator. I have my DS and DH on it. DH has been on IV antibiotics for the majority of the last 3 weeks and is basically incapacitated. He falls sick at the drop of a hat under normal conditions. Miraculously, he hasn't fallen sick during this time although he cannot have a single friendly bacteria left in his body. This may be because of the Epicor because I sincerely doubt it is good luck, at this point. Epicor seems expensive, but you take only one a day. Others on the list in the viral file are probably much easier to get hold of at a HFS.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2006 Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Oh no... We just completed a one-month round of Cipro for my son's bad gut bacteria. I had no idea Cipro was so bad and I guess my DAN doc didn't either. Sigh. Well I guess it's too late now :-( Ds has actually shown a lot of improvements in the last month though. I didn't see anything really nasty behaviorally except some yeast-related stuff that subsided with GSE. I hope we got lucky somehow and avoided any serious damage.... I have noticed the last few weeks that ds has a slight yellow tinge to his skin, I wonder if the Cipro pushed his liver over the edge. Guess we better run some liver tests. > DH has been on IV antibiotics for the majority of the <br> > last 3 weeks and is basically incapacitated. >> > > ___,,,^.~.^,,,___ Another very important question is what KIND of > antibiotics is he taking?

Vitamin A is also good, altho my son was fully loaded at the time I was addressing his immune system. Then I used OLE and Virastop as anti-virals.

We use it anywhere a fat is needed in cooking and our family of five has had about 80% fewer colds the last couple of years. It is known to fight viruses, bacteria, and fungi.
