Re:Rashes like cuts made with Knife or sharp nails

[Guest guest]

Knife like rashes on the body without anybody scratching to make

them occur is, according to my homeopath, a sign of something being

off in the autonomic nervous system - ie, sympathetic vs

parasympathetic.

If you have not already, a good place to get decent overall body

support and methylation support PRIOR to taking on viruses, would be

to take a look at Amy Yasko's website www.autismanswer.com. You

don't want viruses to overrun your child's body without first

ensuring that you have adequate means in place of escorting them

out.

There are bad stories of regression from viruses out there,

depending on your particular genetics and your inherited immune

system. I don't want to unnecessarily alarm you but am just talking

from experience here.

Gayatri,

Thank you for your message. I am new to the group and have just

started my son on Valtrex (we are on day 3). I'm a bit concerned about

starting any new protocal, but my DAN assured me that Valtrex was very

safe. I still have some reservations and would like to hear about any

" warning signs " I should look for. We are waiting on the results of

the Yasko genetic test, but went ahead and started the Valtrex. Did I

jump the gun? Do you think I should stop and start at a later time?

I appreciate any advice you can give. thanks!

Hi :

Its a spectrum and its hard to tell where you are at until you begin

to treat. Hopefully your DAN is confident about what Valtrex can do

for your child. Overall Valtrex would be safe except for the few

that it isn't, you know what I mean? My clue in hindsight about my

son's viral load should have come from his frequent illnesses as a

child. A lot of colds, coughs and fevers which also meant that he

did not have a strong immune system. A few fevers are good, none is

not good either, as the body might not be recognizing the viruses

and launching an appropriate immune response.

Sorry I don't have any definite answers for you. Since I am very

conservative and cautious now about what goes into my son since we

have had some scary moments and times, I tend to go slow and sure.

Personally if I had to do it all over again I would not jump the

gun, but this would depend on your child's history and your own

personal issues.

Good luck with what you decide. Glad you are doing the genetics, it

always helps to be better informed.
