Guest guest Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 There are a few families who have experienced this. You may want to log in to the group home page do a search on " croup " and read the posts. - Stan > > My child is on day 12 of Valtrex. He has developed croup like cough, > which is more at night.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Lowering adenosine could be one of the factors in the possibility of improving metals excretion with Valtrex... correct. We very often see improved speech when with improve methylation... MB12 included and it seems that way with Valtrex in some children too. I didn't have to chelate my son. Valtrex seemed to do the trick. Others may respond about their experience in doing both. - Stan > > > > We are on Day 15 and the croupy cough is finally drying up.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Also, only a small amount of people have seen the rash after 15 days, so don't be shocked if it doesn't come. It seems that 25% of the families are seeing gains without the rash, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. - Stan > > > > We are on Day 15 and the croupy cough is finally drying up.
