Re: When to stop Valtrex?

[Guest guest]

Your ultimate goal is to get your son doing anti-bacterial/viral/metals all

together. They are synergistic and come out best together. I'm chiming in

because my daughter sounds a lot like your sons, she even get the little herpes

rash around her mouth. We did 9 months on Acyclovir and when we stopped seeing

gains we switched to Monolaurin and now were getting the rashes again. We also

just started EDTA IV chelation and she is also on Amphotericin B, plus all the

other supplements. She is doing better than ever.

Good luck, go with your mommy gut!

> > We've been doing Valtrex for my 4.5 yr old for the past 6 months. We started

at 250mg 3x a day, and after 2 weeks of rashes and a miserable child, he emerged

better than before we had started it. We saw increase in socialization, more

awareness in his surroundings and better language. Then after a few months we

stopped seeing gains. It definitely also helped to decrease his amount of

sickness. He used to be sick all the time last year, and after Valtrex he wasn't

sick for three months straight (a record!). Although it was over the summer when

we started so I don't know if it b/c flu season was over. Also he used to get

these red dots around his mouth and chin (not herpes blisters) and those went

away after Valtrex. (But now his NT little brother has them!)

> > So we decided that since Ds had gained some weight that we would increase

the dose to 500 mg 3x a day. We saw a bit better spontaneous language again but

we also increased MB12 injections to every other day around the same time so I

don't if its from that. We've been on the 500 mg dose for about a month now, but

we are not really seeing any significant gains.

> > So my question is: how long do I need to have ds on Valtrex before I decide

whether or not to stop? While mildly affected he is still clearly autistic, and

nowhere near recovered. He still confuses pronouns, repeats words and sentences

over and over, has motor and sensory issues and still does not play pretend with

toys or play at all with other children his age (although he is really good at

computer games, drawing intricate pictures and plays with older children).

> > I guess I just expected that by 6 months I would see bigger changes, and I

don't know for sure if it was the Valtrex or his natural progression? There were

no huge " wows " and now I don't know if its time to give it up. If we do, I

definitely would like to try natural anti-virals to keep his immune system

working, or maybe try LDN.

> > This past weekend we started AC chelation, and I feel like we're just

overloading his body with too many medications, Valtrex/Nizoral/ and now

Chelation. What would you do? Should I do a trial of him off of it to see how he

does?
