Re: does valtrex KILL virus?

[Guest guest]

I would be interested in this too. Our son has been on 250 mg. threetimes a day for almost 3 weeks and we've seen nothing - no rash, no fever, no healing regression. He is on Diflucan now and was on Nystatin and Biocidin before that. Is he just a non-responder, or should we up the dosage, or maybe just keep waiting? I plan on asking our DAN, but we won't have an appointment for a few more weeks. Any information is appreciated.

Suppress. I just watch Dr. J McCandless speak

about viruses in her presentation at the Long Beach DAN! Conference. She said

several times that anti-virals only

suppress the virus, not kill it. I don’t think two weeks is long enough

to know if you will see a reaction.

Pamela,

How long do you think it can take? I started n on Valtrex 4 days

ago and nothing. No yeast, no nothing. He was an immediate and huge

responder to Virastop and OLE so I'm not used to this. I'm pretty sure

I remember Megson saying Valtrex works on retroviruses -- I wonder if

the non-response continues I can assume any retroviral problem is at

least not big.

Hi Nell,

I’m not sure that four days is enough time to tell one way or another. We did almost two

months of Valtrex before we figured out he was a Nonresponder.
