Valtrex and LL, AMAZING results!! was: Re: Tami/ Liver life question

[Guest guest]

Stan and group,

Well, I have been busy, have not visited the board for a few weeks

and Tami starts talking about me! LOL, I love ya Tami!!!! Stan, I

am the " friend " Tami was speaking of, Dylan has been on Valtrex for

90 days now and we have used LL since the begining. Dylan has

always had yeast and gut issues, pretty severe too. His urine

always smelled like bread dough, he would get yeast infections in

his mouth, throat, ears, on his scalp, he was always in pain, and

this of course affects behavior. His diet was strict GFCF for 4+

years, even worked our way to SCD. When he started valtrex I made

sure he was on diflucan, ready for the yeast overgrowth. He took it

for the first 14 days then I did not refill it. He has not had ANY

issues with yeast, no behaviors, no scabs, peeling toes, rashes,

eczema, head banging, giggling, night wakings, white tongue, dough

smelling urine...nothing. He looks healthier than he has in his 8

years of life, he has a beautiful color to his skin, his hair feels

softer, his eyes no longer have purple shiners, his daily stools are

perfect form, texture, color, odor (not foul) and pass with ease.

He is no longer gassy (this kid used to clear a room at school), he

no longer digs in his rear or pulls on his private (burning from

yeast). He used to walk around with his shoulders shrugged because

his ear pain from yeast was unbareble. He also used to spit a lot

due to thrush, that stopped too.

No diflucan, no natural yeast fighters such as caprylic acid, GSE,

no more enzymes and no more probiotics. I have been able to stop

all of these since starting LL (or once his pH was a consistent 5.8).

Improvements since starting VALTREX. I feel with a properly

functioning liver, a healthy gut and no presence of yeast

9overgrowth) he has had a superior response to valtrex. He is in

first grade this year and is going into 3rd grade next year. He

started the year able to count to 13, 18 on a good day. He counts

to 100+. He could only draw a circle with a smile in it with arms

(person) he now can draw animals like elephants (and will write the

word " elephant " independently underneath), snowmen, pigs, owls,

houses, cars....he can add double digit math problems, is

subtracting, learning to tell time (can look at the clock and know

when its lunchtime), reads, writes, spells, uses ASL in sentences to

let you know his wants/needs. Wants to play board games and always

requests that we sit with him, he never wants to be alone, he wants

to interact. He makes eye contact for permission i.e., instead of

just taking a fruit snack, he will look at you waiting for a nod of

approval. He will clear the table after meals, rinse the dishes,

wipe the table. He dresses himself for school without being told,

he will go to the room, select his clothes, put them on, before I

had to lay his clothes out and say, " Dylan, put on your clothes. "

If I say, " It's time for school " he knows w/o prompt to get his

shoes on, get his coat on and get his backpack. He is calm,

compliant sits in the 1st grade room for 45 - 60 minutes (start of

school year 5 minutes was a " great " day.) He plays with kids on the

playground, waits in line, takes turns.

This is a kid who last year had to have his aide hover him at all

times because he was easily frustrated, he hit, kicked and pulled

hair of his peers and aides. He screamed and never would enter the

kindergarten room. He spent his whole day in the special ed room

alone and preferred it that way. He never did any work because he

required constant sensory input and soothing. He cried half the day

and threw objects and was violent the other half of the day. He ate

alone, never went to music, art or gym with his classmates as he

could not tolerate the noise. Now he participates in every part of

the day with his class.

Valtrex ~ regression, well he had chapped lips, a tiny eczema patch

on his belly, a cold sore and one day was red all over his legs

(that went away in a few hours).

Verbal, says a handful of words daily now, as well as finally

imitating sounds, begining sounds and always tries to use his verbal

to communicate, no longer gets frustrated when we try to make

him " talk " .

I hope this information helps,

blessings,

Colleen

Mom to Dylan, 8 years old
