Valtrex vs Famvir

[Guest guest]

my son was on famvir earlier in the treatment program. imo, gentler than valtrex. but, may not hit the viruses hard enough like valtrex. worth a try tho. also, you can try more natural anti virals.

i hear actos is being used for the inflammation. may want to look in the files on the autism ldn file. dr mccandless is using this.

Hi all,

New to group. 15 year old twin boys. Been around for a long time. On Depakote for seizure control. Lots and Lots of viruses. Inflammation big time.

Chelated for two years and took Valtrex for a short time. Just read that Valtrex can sometimes cause seizures. Is Famvir good enough for my kids to take?

Also just read to keep Valtrex away from anti-convulsants. Would be impossible to do when they go to school. They get Depakote in the a.m.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Tina

Hi Tina,

What virus test have you run and what were the results?

What happened when you did Valtrex last? How long was your child on it?

What is your child's diet?

Besides siezures, what are your child's other symptoms.

Do you have any video you can compress and send of his functioning or close ups

of his

face?

Any skin issues?

How's his stool?

What diagnosises are we talking about? I'm assuming autism?

I'm asking because we also have a lot of other conditions here as well. The

folks with

" other " chronic conditions seem to look more than post. I think they feel they

are not

welcome or something... I'm not sure why. Sometimes I get private messages and

I see

that they are reading... but I think they are nervous about posting.

Summary message for those foks: Oh... c'mon... go ahead and post. We don't

bite.
