Guest guest Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 I once consulted for a child with very high EBV titers and extremely high NK count. Acyclovir/Valtrex was recommended so as to help tune down the EBV replication. Soon thereafter, a plasma and urinary amino acids panel showed that the child had horrendously low amino acids. A parent commented, " No wonder her immunity is not working well " . For some kids, acyclovir/Valtrex is a useful crutch, even as another pathway (eg, low AAs in some kids and related gut pathologies) may be the etiologic pathway most in need of healing. For the aforementioned child, acyclovir/Valtrex then a child-specific amino acid supplement enabled her to rapidly lose her formal (univ) dx of autism. sautben wrote: >dr.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 Hi , Is it high IgG or IgA viral titers which indicate a persistent viral problem. My son has elevated IgG to EBV but not A. Re: valtrex > I once consulted for a child with very high EBV titers and extremely > high NK count.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 EBV has complex strategies. If you look at ISL's webpage or similar lab webpages, you'll see a number of EBV antigens, each representing a different phase of viral replication. Here's a complexity. If your child obtained EBV a month or several ago, having elevated IgG against EBV can be a normal and healthful sign. You didn't mention elevated IgM against EBV, thus a major reactivation or very recent first exposure seems unlikely. That what to do with elevated IgG against EBV. A person can order the full EBV panel and learn more specifically about EBV's status in the child. A person can try a few weeks of Valtrex, which helps suppress most but not all strains of EBV and be watchful for improvements in attention, energy, etc. A person can have the child retested in several months to see if the IgG EBV profile has changed. In most kids, the IgG should gradually subside across months. catherine devereux wrote: >Hi , >Is it high IgG or IgA viral titers which indicate a persistent viral >problem.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 thank you very iluminating, can lauricidine help open up its capsule and valtrex works better in conjunction with lauricidine ? and is it immunoscience that have a service specificaly about EBV's status? i am not much more alert with this virus, for it is potentially prone to neoplasma in child. Should we check tumor marker sequencially ? Binstock wrote: >EBV has complex strategies.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 Our daughter regressed terribly for 13 weeks using Valtrex, We switched to Famvir and she did so much better. She was taken off of the viral medications for 4 months while we began chelation. She was put back on Famvir less than two weeks ago and it didn't seem to work well - she seemed a little depressed - so I tried Valtrex again. She's doing great with it now. The chelation had a major part in her response - I don't know how or why. Anyway, we experienced regression in behavior, stimming, sleep difficulty and speech in our initial use of Valtrex and it didn't subside until we stopped completely. Maybe you could try Famvir if the regressions get worse or don't get better. And, have you or are you chelating? Shari Valtrex Dear listmates, does anyone know if it is natural to have more hyperactivity, compulsive behaviour and stimmings after the first days of Valtrex? Thanks a lot Sophia (mum to Haralampos, 7 years old) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
