why the regression?

[Guest guest]

Ok so I understand now that regression after starting valtrex is a

good sign, but why does it happen. I mean biologically what is going

on? Why do you see autistic traits that you have never seen before?

If it's killing off a virus I don't understand why this happens?

Stan, or anyone out there understand this?

Hi ,

Human nature makes us want to know all the details of what's going on or we get

all

wachy, but the reality is we only have theories right now.

Some examples include:

1. Valtrex is actually kicking up a smoldering virus by starving it and then the

body needs

to go after it. almost like the body needs to reprioritize where methylation and

sulfation

energy spends its time, which causes a temporary loss in other areas.

2. Valtrex is changing methylation either directly by lowering adenosine or

effecting some

part of methylation that we have not discovered yet or by lowering viral

activity and

transferring the focus to other areas and this process causes gains in

methylation and the

immune system and these changes cause it to mount a defense against a newly

recognized invader and/or a toxin that was previously not a priority due to

methylation

impairment or deficiency.

What is comforting is that Valtrex is working for nice subset of kids with

autism and we

continue to help publicly document that here. That is an important step and one

where

parent involvement really has weight. Many of you have influenced your doctors

to

explore Valtrex and have reported to them positive results and that leads to

more families

learning about it.

I am also encouraged to see Valtrex being discussed behind the scenes among DAN!

doctors as having a role beside a herpes medicine and this a topic for the next

DAN! Think

Tank in Washington. Jill PhD. and Deth PhD, the parents of

methylation

research (if you will), both have Valtrex on their radar at this point.

I don't want to jinx this, but it seems that we have some momentum in the right

places to

help shed light on what is really going on and how we can improve on this

therapy.

One of the " mistakes " that I have seen in the approach of some doctors and

researchers is

to find something that may help the cause and to hoard it to themselves so they

can gain

credit. The problem with this is that there are many good doctors and

researchers whose

knowledge can help take an idea to the next level. What I really wish for is

that what we

do here in this group helps to ultimately raise awareness and interest from

researcher

circles much smarter, more knowledgeable, and more resourceful than I am or we

are.

I see our role here as a way for parents to directly gain knowledge that can

help their child

and for the data and experiences that happen here to encourage doctors and

researchers

to look harder at what is going on with Valtrex and nasal spray MB12.

What I have learned in this process is that it takes a lot of elements to be in

place for

doctors and researchers, even enlightened ones, to change their thinking

--especially

when ideas and/or evidence comes from parents.

On the other hand, I think we are living in shallow minded times when the

medical

establishment has trained doctors and researchers to think that parents cannot

affect

science and medicine. This is a ridiculous claim in so many ways since many of

the

discoveries, which ultimately turned into scientific studies, and discoveries

came from

observations from parents.... the people who spend the most time working with a

sick

child.

So, to answer your question, we don't know exactly why there is such a

significant

healing-regression with Valtrex, but thanks to all of the hard work of the

parents and the

doctors and researchers who are becoming more interested in what we are seeing I

hope

that we can find answers and improve on this therapy soon.

In the meantime, we can work together as parents and help spread the word, help

educate,

and ultimately help heal as many families as we can.
