Re: Stat1, Valganciclovir

I find l-Carnitine tartrate helpful, too.

In an article on STAT-1 by Alan Cocchetto in the National Forum

publication it mentioned:

The STAT-1 depletion is treated with L-Carnitine. It raises IGF-BP3

which then raises STAT-1 levels.

This article may be on the NCF website at: www.ncf-net.Thi

I use L-Carnitine, and it helps, it is only part of a treatment plan

for CFS.

Interesting that l-carnitine is made in the body from LYSINE (antiviral),

methionine, vit c, b,

and niacin, along with iron and manganese (both needed for good red blood

cells).

When I've used l-carnitine I've felt a definite improvement too. It's just too

expensive to

take enough of on a regular basis.

K-if you want to try valgancyclovir (VG), you will probably have a

hard

time talking 98% of the docs that you see into prescribing it

for you. The side effects can be nasty. That said, I believe I have

read that VG isn't as bad as it sounds in the PDR. Most docs have

never used it and they are afraid of it because of the side effects.

However, if you read Dr. Lerner's info about it, I think he indicates

that the bad side effects of VG are overstated. So my advice would

be to get as much info as you can re VG and how to use it safely

before you ask a doc to prescribe it. I don't know of any CFS doc

who uses VG as a primary treatment. DOes anyone?

l-Lysine needs vitamin C as its cofactor.

Make sure your doctor know that you are self treating HHV-6 with l-Lysine+C

and Olive leaf extract.

Dr McCandless suggests a specific brand of OLE for her patients, by the way,

seems like all OLE is not the same.

How are you going to tell which therapy is helping you, by the way?

K,

I go to my cfs specialist this wed. to see about

trying an anti-viral for a very high active HHV-6

count.

I'll inform the board which one he prescribes and how

I react later this week.

I'm also trying lysine again and just bought some

olive leaf specifically to fight my HHV-6 load-though

not the same reason u r thinking of trying vanc.

Hi Mjh,

Didn't know that vit. c was needed as cofactor for

lysine. I can't handle taking it as a separate

supplement but get some in my multi vitamin and

vitamin waters/oj.

I had an outbreak of canker sores yesterday and just

took 100 mg. of lysine yesterday and today and they

are already gone.

I haven't started the olive leaf yet. I understand

some brands are better than others.

I'll make sure to mention the lysine to my doc-ask

about olive leaf-

I understand the issue of wondering what is working or

not working-I think I'll just look at the blood work

and how I'm feeling of course-

If my doc thinks I should do differently I will-plus,

I'm concerned the anti-viral will have bad side

effects or I won't react well to it because I I am

hypersensitive and allergic to a lot of meds.

Thus, I thought a few weeks of lysine before I decide

on a complete plan wouldn't hurt-and, has already

helped my cold sores.

THanks,

Gena
