Guest guest Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 I just read that Acyclovir ( and I am also assuming Valtrex)is not effective on HHV6, but Kutapressin is. For all yourresearch on antivirals and autism (NIDS, etc) do you have anycomments on this? It also looks like Kutapressin might notbe available anymore. Do you know if this is the case?I was first thinking I should try Famvir to see if it doesanything, but now I am thinking that maybe Kutapressin is theway to go (if it is still available)...maybe Austen's resultsare an indication of what virus might be plaguing Jake's brain...what do you think??? just my two cents....but i will say this, my son was on rx antivirals for a long time before kutapressin and the kutapressin made a difference in my son cognitively. we were also on famvir which again, i didnt see much improvement. kutapressin certainly gave my son a "boost". nothing major, but, i'll take what i can get around here! vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 I believe that Valtrex does work on HHV6. I've not used Kuddapresson, but I have bumped into people who have and who have seen gains from it. It's an immune system modulator and I think it's worth trying. You can do Kuddapression and Valtrex at the same time. i would start with Valtrex though. Additionally, HSV seem to work synergistically, so if you lower HSV as a whole, the body may have a better chance at taking care of other HSV strains... and let's not rule out " other " HSV that we haven't found yet. That's a real possibility as well. My son did NOT test for any HSV either before, during, or after Valtrex but it is clearly what brought him through a large portion of his recovery. If you do not see any results from Valtrex or Acyclovir in first month or two, typically IME there will not be gains from it. and sure, you could try Famvir... no harm it in IMO and you'll know in a month or two if it is doing anything. - Stan > > Stan-- > Jake was taking Valtrex (>30 days) and then switched > to Acyclovir.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 My son is on LDN and the rash that he got on his shoulders still remains. I am hoping this is *die-off* of some sort.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2006 Report Share Posted January 6, 2006 My son is on LDN and the rash that he got on his shouldersstill remains. I am hoping this is *die-off* of some sort.Thanks for the input! when my son started chelation he developed a few rash spots, looked more like eczema. another parent on another list mentioned this is a "detox rash" and is common in a lot of children when their bodies are going thru a detox. maybe ldn too? did dr mccandless voice on the rash? vicki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 I've read reports of LDN causing a rash in some cases, I don't know the statistics on it. I'll send her an email. In Valtrex treatment we see it 91% of the time according to the current poll in our " poll " section of the group. The rash is not a side-effect listed in the Valtrex literature and I have posted several questions about it in the STD Valtrex lists and not one person of the hundreds in these lists has reported a similar rash from Valtrex. It seems like something unique with our kids. We've also had some parents report their children had higher levels of mercury dumping in their unine and stool tests (I'm still waiting for scanned copies of these reports). We've also had higher levels of vapor from rash areas from me when I injected mercury via a flu shot. The rash typically doesn't itch, similar to a mercury rash that I had from the mecury containing vaccine. Additionally, white blood cell counts can sometimes act the same on Valtrex and DMSA and other metals detox agents. We also know that viruses that are effected by Valtrex can take up residence in the liver (we posted some studies on this in the " files " section and in posts), which is a critical organ in natural metals detox. We also know that Valtrex lower adenosine and helps methylation in a portion of children with autism. Basically and in summary, we have some evidence to support a hypothosis that Valtrex is helping with heavy metals detox. In time we'll figure it out. - Stan > > > In a message dated 1/5/2006 8:02:15 PM Pacific Standard Time, > dhooten@a... writes: > > My son is on LDN and the rash that he got on his shoulders > still remains.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Some unanswered questions are: Is the rash viral? (if so, all the time?, or just some of the time?) Is the rash detox (if so, all the time?, or just some of the time?) Is the rash similar to what is seen in LDN or other therapies? (if so, all the time?, or just some of the time?) Is the rash something else entirely? In time we'll find the answers. - Stan > > > In a message dated 1/5/2006 8:02:15 PM Pacific Standard Time, > dhooten@a... writes: > > My son is on LDN and the rash that he got on his shoulders > still remains.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 OK, that does sound like eczema. But it might be from freeing up something in the gut or some bacteria and fungus growing from an ingredient in the Valtrex. If you do not see any results on the acyclovir, I would consider going on Diflucan and then moving back to Valtrex again for another trial. MB12 also works well for stabilizing the gut in the presence of eczema IMO. We have some video on that as well. - Stan > > > > > > In a message dated 1/5/2006 8:02:15 PM Pacific Standard Time, > > dhooten@a... writes: > > > > My son is on LDN and the rash that he got on his shoulders > > still remains.
