Guest guest Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 An article on anti-viral honey (manuka) scrolled thru my FB page and I went over to Mercola.com and read it. In the comments, there were a couple people who had monthly herpes breakouts who tried BHT in capsule form for two weeks, and they *cured* their herpes... like it never ever came back. BUT *BHT* is a " bad " food preservative, and many of us try to avoid it... Anyone try BHT capsules for anti-viral purposes? --- Toni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 I believe that salicylates (at least some of them?) are antiviral. BHT is a salicylate. Maybe that is what makes it effective? I know that turmeric/curcumin is antiviral and even aspirin is supposed to be antiviral (also supposed to help against herpes). I find it interesting that so many of our kids who have viral issues are also " sensitive " to salicylates. Makes me wonder - is the sensitivity something that would go away if the viral load was reduced? Hmmm... > > An article on anti-viral honey (manuka) scrolled thru my FB page and I went over > to Mercola.com and read it.

Guest guest Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 wow. yes. maybe the virus freaks out and starts fighting when salicylates are present. Almost like a healing regression of sorts????? hey, you never know.To: mb12 valtrex Sent: Mon, August 16, 2010 12:11:57 PMSubject: Re: anti-viral effects of BHT I believe that salicylates (at least some of them?) are antiviral.

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 I second that it's " bad " as a preservative! BHT is a petroleum derived preservative (as are BHA and TBHQ). Along with artificial flavors and artificial colors (many are also petroleum derived) and artificial sweeteners, they are eliminated as part of the Feingold Diet, which helps ADD in many people, as well as a host of attention, mood and other issues. With Feingold, you also eliminate salicylates for a trial period and then see if you can add them back in without incident. I have seen some foods in the grocery store that ADVERTISE that they're preserved with BHT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 Yes we are on Feingold. :-)That is why I was surprised to see the artificial "bad" thing mentioned on Mercola's site by people who are generally "healthy nuts" LOLBut apparently health nuts that managed to contract herpes... and then rid their bodies of it with BHT. I am just wondering what else they are destroying in their bodies??? It's supposed to damage the lipid layer of the virus, or something like that... --- ToniTo: mb12 valtrex Sent: Tue, August 17, 2010 9:52:34 AMSubject: Re: anti-viral effects of BHT I second that it's "bad" as a preservative!

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 I'm wondering....maybe it's something that can be compared to salt (for instance). Salt can be used as a preservative, is not dangerous in moderation but can become dangerous with over use. ????Just a thought-TammyTo: mb12 valtrex Sent: Tue, August 17, 2010 9:56:00 AMSubject: Re: Re: anti-viral effects of BHT Yes we are on Feingold. :-)That is why I was surprised to see the artificial "bad" thing mentioned on Mercola's site by people who are generally "healthy nuts" LOLBut apparently health nuts that managed to contract herpes... and then rid their bodies of it with BHT.
