Guest guest Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 You're most welcome Natasa :-) My comments are interspersed. > VS - does it have a strong taste? Not really, but once you start getting into the larger doses it does of course get harder to dose. Right now my son is taking 18 a day. I never thought we'd get that high. There is another sort of industrial strength VS that I wish I'd known about before I bought all the regular strength. I believe it is twice as strong, but I don't know how it might taste. > Lauricidin - does it have a strong taste? You're not supposed to chew Lauricidin. If you do, yuck! My son swallows them no problem though. Because you start so low, with maybe three pellets a day (and they are very small) you child will likely get used to swallowing them if you can hide them in something like a thick yogurt or pudding. My son swallows about 90 a day right now. I am amazed that my son now does understand when he's getting a " yucky " and will put up with it. If you'd have asked me 6 months ago if this would have been possible I would have laughed or cried, depending on the day. The good thing is if this stuff starts working, then the dosing can get easier. > Astragalus - does it have a strong taste? I use a liquid. It does have alcohol in it, but I had to consider ease of dosing. It kind of has an earthy taste to it, easy to hide in the Sambucol. > Candex - does it have a strong taste? Not really. Easy to mix into the fresh cheese I use. The good thing is you don't have to go very high with the Candex. Most people would start with just a part of a capsule and see how it goes from there. > > sorry to be such a pain, but I loved the sound of those and would like > to judge my chances of getting ds to take them before I go on buying > things only to have to put them back into the (already full) cupboard > Oh, I hear you! My husband and I end up taking all the leftovers. It's done us some good. :-) > > We started LDN two months ago and are seeing good things.

I read your post at LDN :-). > Unfortunately, I've not used or talked to anyone who has used any of these things you mention, other than the lysine. Again, had an interesting post on lysine at enzymes and autism not too long ago, as to why it might work for the herpes virus. I do remember that Dr. JM was pretty big on some mushroom supps. I'd have to check her book. I keep thinking that there must be a group for some other medical problem where these things are discussed regularly. It would be great if we could access the knowledge of some other group of people not in the autism world. Or, we're just have to blaze the trail. I did try the VS on myself and do seem to have some viral issues. When I get organized, I might order some of the other stuff and take some to see what happens. It's just that I'm the picture of health compared to my son, so even these experiments don't tell me much. If I do run across anything helpful in regard to any of these, I'll share it here :-) Take care, Anita > > Best wishes, > Natasa > > > > > > > > > > > > > Kim, > > > > > > > > Boy, your son's having a rough time of it.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 > - I wonder if anyone here has used or considered using AlliTru? (it is a > patented allicin/garlic extract by VRP, sounds great but ££$$$!) I use garlic, fresh pressed, but my son swallows capsules, so I put the pressed garlic in empty capsules before giving it to him. I had noticed for years that garlic was doing something to my son. It has so many properties that I thought it was either because of yeast, parasites, inflammation, or high sulfur. I end up thinking it is beause of the anti-viral properties. I got some rashes out just with garlic. Rashes that look very similar to what people see with Virasop/OLE. I now use garlic/VS/OLE and I might add Valtrex in a few weeks.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 We also used to give crushed garlic, hid it in cherry tomatos, worked well for a couple of months until ds figured out something was in there Also saw some viral signs, rosy cheeks, more agressive, yeast problems etc. Now we have to wait a couple of years until he can swallow capsules Natasa > > - I wonder if anyone here has used or considered using AlliTru?

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Here it is Pam: http://www.theramedix.net/prod_prx.php You can also phone Enzymedica. This is what de Felice said to do in her write-up about the VS studies. If you phoned them it might actually be closer to the VS we're using now, except, of course, stronger. I don't understand enzymes well enough to know the difference between the two products, if there is a difference. If you do happen to use either of these, I would be very happy to hear about what happens.
