Guest guest Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 : Thanks for the reply, it makes sense. It is just so hard trying to read, understand everything, trial/error with supplements, etc. I can say that I have submitted my new patient info to Dr. Usman...and I can't wait until she begins treating . I have heard from other mom's who go to Dr. Usman that she literally takes that " second-guessing " away and that she knows what she is doing. OK, I have to ask this.....how do you know if your child has viral issues without extensive testing? I am assuming that my son's issues are predominantly viral, in that he has the same symptoms that others said their kids had...which they treated with anti- virals. And finally, how do you know when to stop treating for viruses? I am assuming that you don't give anti-virals forever? Dana mentioned in her website that she treated viruses for 7 months, and it made all the difference in the world (although she did do other interventions)...Is there a magic formula as to when you stop using the anti-virals? When the symptoms go away? Sorry for the long response......thanks again for replying! Kim > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Hi Kim, I assumed that my son had viral issues after Dr. s info on the oral polio vaccine which my son rec'd.I can honestly say that monolaurin is good for everyone as a lifetime supplement,therefore I will always try to give it to him and us(my husband and I).

I started anti-virals again. It would *appear*, based on what I am seeing, that I did successfully eliminate one set of viruses during those first seven months, but now a new set has emerged. It might be the same virus/es, but my son's symptoms and reactions to the anti-virals seem like different virus/es this time. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the differences? It is difficult to quantify. He is VERY involved with letters, writing, and reading now. In the past, he would prefer to sit outside and gather and line up sticks, and pick up dirt and watch it fall. Now he prefers to sit at the computer and type. He typed out the entire context of one of our Dr. Seuss books yesterday, from memory. He also loves to sit with #3 and they take turns reading books [mostly from memory, altho he has about 100 sight words now]. He is more easily scared now. My husband previously could throw him onto the bed from maybe four feet away and he would LOVE IT, but now if he tries that, my son will grab onto him and not let himself be thrown that far. He wants to be liked now, whereas before, he really did not care what anyone else [besides me and daddy] thought of him. He also wants to do what everyone else is doing. We joined Boy Scouts [Cub Scouts for my younger kids], and he is excited about participating. It is a parent participation troop, and they are allowing me to join a group of younger kids, so my kids will be able to participate without so much of my personal involvement, I get to stand back and watch. My earlier anti-viral protocol, for two nights [not consecutive], he cried horribly just after I put him in bed. It was so mournful that I took him out of bed and rocked him to sleep both times. Also, he would have had a major nasty bm sometime during the day before those nights, and not make it to the toilet. Each of the two mornings after those nights, he would be markedly better. I guessed the virus/es " broke " on those nights. But now, he does this almost every night, a different sort of cry tho, not as mournful, and I let him come out and sleep on the couch. Occasional bm issues but not really bad, he always makes it to the toilet and they are not nearly as nasty as the two previous ones were. Next morning he is much better again. More language, more social awareness. He has a great day, exhibits new skills, all the way up to bedtime when he cries again. But it is a different sort of cry. Overall it is just very strange, but nice also. Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
