Guest guest Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 Whew! Im tryen to catch up here lota meat to digest. I know this subject has gone on to discuss further in detail as it involves pro 's and antifungals. Then as we go deeper as in Enzymatic activity that also plays a role. Now my head is spinning. Cause recently I have entertained the though to return to digestive enzymes and im tryen to figure what would be best to implement for my son. He no longer has gut issues and we have maintained a strict diet over the years, but I want to bring him to the next level of healing. He still has allergic reactions to gluten and casein. I was wondering if digestive enzymes would help heal the gut Or lets say bring my child back to be able to eat Gluten without allergic reactions? Also will they compete take way from any other therapy such as antiviral? My son has been GFCF,SF, YF,CF..And everything else free for quite some time now. Casein he was highly allergic to and gluten's where you're standard allergic reaction Please if anyone would be kind enough to comment I would appreciate Kenny v Bonus question if you were doing an antiviral protocol do you see that also implementing digestive enzymes would be a problem or a good idea? The reason for asking Here was a few exerts that I took from the enzyme board that Anita also put a link in her post. Boy I ditto what all of you all have said; " This would be easier if we were all sitting around a table. " Anti-viral and Yeast Increase taken from http://enzymestuff.com/conditionviruses.htm#10 It has become apparent that yeast MAY increase with ANY antiviral program that is actually working. It doesn't happen with everyone doing an antiviral or everyone with yeast. But it can happen. Usually good benefits are see at the same time as the yeast increase. This is reported with Virastop, Valtrex, acyclovir, olive leaf extract, and Lauricidin (a coconut oil product This weekend I talked with a guy that now works with Enzymedica who used to work with some candida researchers. We talked about this and he suggested that it might have something to do with the carbohydrate component on the envelope of certain viruses The idea is that if the virus is being destroyed or unable to connect to the cell, you would have these carb (sugar) components out floating around which may end up as yeast food. This would appear as an antiviral working with some yeast increase due to extra carb entities being available during the virus cycle breakdown. Please understand this is only a hypothesis based on science compared with people's experience with various products. It's a possible, logical explanation but it doesn't mean that is actually what is happening. I did go looking to see how this might hold up. ViraStop does not contain carb enzymes, only several types of proteases. If the ViraStop were breaking down the protein proportion, then that would leave the carb portion, possibly for yeast. Perhaps taking a carb enzyme with the ViraStop if yeast is a problem would help??? Candex, No-Fenol and Candidase are all carb containing enzymes...although there are other straight carb enzyme products such as V-Gest, Zyme Prime, or any broad-spectrum product. Interesting that a couple of people used Candex with the ViraStop to help with the yeast issue. The carb enzyme *might* be helping with the carb portion in addition to helping directly on yeast. I checked the Lauricidin site for info. Lauricidin is a type of oil or fat. Now, on the Lauricidin site it says: Kenny V.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Interesting post. We should ear mark this and look further. I don't know how carbohydrates are involved in viral replication but if that is true... that would be an interesting observation and certainly worth exploring. It would also support that a SCD type diet might help the antiviral process. I'll also pass this theory around to my research network and see what comes back. - Stan > > > > > > > > > > It is my understanding that Virastop does not harm the > bacteria > > of > > > > probiotics.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 I spent some time with this, and I would love for it to be the case. It would explain many things. I have often talked about how it seems that viruses feed on fungus. I've addressed this at the DAN! Think Tank (and received no positive or negative response from anyone on that particular issue... which means no knows either way) and privately with a couple high-end viral researchers and I haven't had a hit there either. They said respectfully, " I can't see how it's possible... " but that's what most people say before they learn it's possible... so until someone proves what we are so obviously seeing " parentdotally " I remain hopeful and very open minded about this.
