Guest guest Posted December 28, 2001 Report Share Posted December 28, 2001 Hi Steve & Jan, I agree, Monolaurin is a dud! Used it in the past, no results.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2001 Report Share Posted December 30, 2001 Jan, You may be interested to note that much attention has been given in the UK to sackie viral infections being the trigger of ME/CFS, and in some cases for ongoing chronic infection. To date, the diagnosis of chronic sackie viral infection is achieved through Polymerase Chain Reaction Tests (PCR), that when repeated present consistent positive results. Such a result indicates persisting infection that since unlike Herpes group viruses, sackie viruses are part of the Enterovirus group and cannot survive in a dormant state to reactivate at a later date. This means sackie viruses need to continually replicate to survive. Personal experience has shown that combining the antiviral drugs Ribavirin and Amantadine can be effective in dealing with some sackie viral infections, and can do so rapidly. Please note that the use of Ribavirin and Amantadine combined presents an amplified antiviral effect against some viral infections. It has certainly worked for me on two occasions me when suffering from secondary viral infections, but does not work for my main problem since this is fungal rather than viral.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 Beck, The information I have regarding Enteroviral infections include the following:- 1/ There are over 72 different Enteroviruses known including those responsible for Polio. 2/ The term Enterovirus indicates that the most common site of infection is that of the Gastrointestinal tract. 3/ Enteroviruses can produce Influenza type infections and can be mistaken for being Influenza. 4/ Enteroviruses are very small. They can be as small as 25nm in length. This means a fraction of a micrometre. 5/ The sackie viruses are Enteroviruses named after an area in the state of New York, USA, where they were first discovered and identified. 6/ Enteroviruses, including sackie viruses, cannot remain in a dormant state in the same way as Herpes group viruses. This means to survive they need to continually replicate. 7/ In the UK, many cases of ME/CFS are associated with a sackie B viral infection being the trigger. In some cases, chronic sackie B infection has been proven by using Viral Protein One blood tests, or more recently, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) tests. Repeated positive results demonstrates chronic infection. 8/ Some success has been gained by using Normal Human Immunoglobulin where the sample used contains appropriate antibodies. In addition, some success has been gained by using the antiviral drugs Ribavirin and Amantadine Hydrochloride together once infection has been proven. 9/ An excellent medical text book dealing with ME/CFS and Enteroviral infections including sackie infections follows:- UNDERSTANDING M.E. Doctor G. 1989 Publishing, 11 Shepherd House, Shepherd Street, London, W1Y 7LD England ISBN 1 85487 019 X The only other source of information that I have used covering the antiviral drugs Ribavirin and Amantadine Hydrochloride is the British National Formulary, issue 34 September 1997, ISBN 0-85369-393-5. This is published by the British Medical Association and the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain. I hope this helps to provide the information required.
