Lymph glands always swollen in groin and neck

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

I have been a keen observer to this group, but this is the first time I have

posted.

My son is almost 4 years old, and we have been using biomedical treatments for

about 6

months. He is GFCF, on LDN, digestive enzymes and taking various vitamin and

mineral

supplements. Our DAN! Dr recently started him on aciclovir 200mg three times a

day,

alternating with Valtrex 250mg twice a day every 2 weeks. So far, we have been

using the

anti virals for 1.5 months. He had high IgG levels to measles (ie at least 5

times the reference

range), but so far, the anti virals don't seem to be doing anything.

Question is, he always has swollen inguinal lymph glands (ie around the groin,

in the

crease between the abdomen and top of leg, on the front side). This is always

worse when

he has a cold/flu, but the lymph glands always seem to be raised and swollen. I

think this

means he has an immune response to something, but has anyone else had this with

their

ASD child? What did they do to bring down the swelling? Are we under dosing the

antivirals? Am I expecting results too soon???!?!? Our DAN! Dr is reluctant to

use the

Vitamin A protocol due to a risk of liver toxicity...

Any guidance would be appreciated.

yes my son has had issues with this for a long time, LDN SHOULD be helping some with it. it means the body is in fight mode.....but with all this it shouldn't be. vit A when done right shouldn't hurt a kid. do you have him on any right now?? you could do the drops and do it slowly verses the big bulus doses

I don't have any guidance but my son's lymph nodes behind his ears

and at the base of his skull stay swollen. I would love to know why(I

think chronic infection) and what to do about it...

My NT (highly allergic) son had this when we were

trying sublingual drops to treat his allergies.

Severely swollen lymph nodes all over the body - so

much that we were afraid it could be lymphoma and took

him to see an oncologist. It turned out that the

allergy neutralizing drops were causing this. It does

mean that the immune system is in a " fight " mode.

You'll need to figure out what it is that your child's

body is reacting so severely to and remove the offender.

My little guy had high IgG titers for HHV6, measles, and strep.

We have been using Valtrex since Oct 3, 08 (3+ months). We started

LDM-100 about 5 days ago. We started with 5 drops 3x / day then

worked up to one dropper full 3 x / day (about 20-30 drops).

We have noticed his lymph nodes on his neck just behind his ears are

swollen. There is one that feels like about the size of a pea, and

another one below it that is a bit smaller.

Thanks everyone for your comments.

Just a quick update - we took our ASD son to the pediatrician for a normal

review today. She

doesn't really approve of biomedical therapies, but was happy for us to continue

to use any

techniques that we think are helping.

She checked his lymph nodes, and she says they are perfectly normal!! I wonder

why I can't

feel my own lymph glands!!

She also did not understand the rationale for using valtrex if he has a high

measles IgG titer. I

don't really understand that either because I didn't think valtrex does anything

to measles....

please correct me if I am wrong. We are waiting patiently for improvements

anyway!!

I thought the Vit A treatments for for measles and the valtrex was

for herpes simplex virus that many of our kids have also.

My little guy got a full body rash today. This is day 7 on LDM-100.

We are giving one dropper full 3 x day. The rash started on his inner

thigh, and then spread to all over his legs, and then to his torso. He

also has " clown lips "

I'll post pics shortly.

Penumbra,

It's best to lower your dosage for now. My son was not much more

than 15-20 2x a day. Even as an adult I was told 25 drops 2x a day

and had to cut back to 20 drops. We have a good powerpoint

presentation from Dr. Amy on the Borrelia group files from her WA

TACA presentation.

She has quite a bit of info including " Clinical signs of

viruses " , " Treating Viruses " , and more info on the LDM-100...here's

just a bit of the info I thought you could use:

" LDM-100

• Doses:

- Start slow and build up

- Kids: 3-4 drops 4-6 times daily (max I have seen is 1

tsp 3 times daily)

• Cautions:

- Slow down or even pause if rash occurs

- Timing with school, since the rash looks

scary and contagious

- I don't find this to be a 1st line anti-viral (do vit A,

monolaurin, EFA's or olive leaf 1st)

- Start to get metals under control 1st

- The rash is NOT and indicator of effectiveness "

She has good info on Liver Support and has told us that Dandelion

Root is good to use with it as Liver Support.

My guess is to go down to like 8-10 drops 2x a day right now, give

it a few days to a week for the toxin dump load to go down, then you

can add 1 drop every day or 2 back in to build the dose back

up...don't go over 28-20 drops 2x a day with our children's toxic

load is more under control so you don't stress the body.

Wishing you the best.

Hi Rita,

Thanks for the suggestion. He woke up about 3 a.m., and the rash was

much worse than when he went to sleep - it looks like a full-up case of

the measles.

I'm so happy to have this junk coming out of his body.
