Guest guest Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Thanks for the info. My daughter is currently taking Monolaurin. She's been taking it for several months now. Her EBV was elevated in the past, but at last check was coming down. I did increase her monolaurin after the doc said it was mono and not strep. He did a rapid strep test (swab) on Tues then a 48hr culture, then I took her back on Friday he did another swab...all negative. Then bloodwork showed mono. What do they look at to determine Mono.....anyone know?? I didn't even ask (that was stupid) Anyway, fever is gone finally but her throat is still VERY sore. Motrin helps a little. Is throat spray bad...something like chloreseptic?? Subject: Re: Mono To: csb-autism-rx Date: Saturday, June 28, 2008, 1:20 PM Hi Angie, My understanding is that mono comes from the Epstein-Barr virus. There are natural anti-virals you could use such as Olive Leaf Extract and ViraStop. There is another product called Lauricidin, which there is a lot of information about that product in the archives of this list if you do a search. When your DAN! doctor returns, you could also speak to him about Valtrex as an anti-viral therapy. My son responded very well to treating his mono with homeopathics. Also, if the rest of your family all tested positive for strep through a throat culture, but your ASD child did not, I would ask my pediatrician to test for strep through a blood test. I know of two two different blood tests available to test for strep, Antistreptolysin O and Anti-Streptococcus DNase.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Our daughter had the EBV test and it showed that she had mono in the past. The immunologist at Arkansas Children's Hospital wasn't concerned at all. She said almost every kids she tests will test positive for it and herpes virus. She was so non helpful and unconcerned about my concerns. So, even though our daughter tested positive for all of this - it was simply ignored. But, I've found that to be true with every trip I have ever made to Arkansas Children's Hospital. Despite Jill being there - ACH is not an autism friendly or helpful medical facility.
