Guest guest Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Valentina and , Thanks for your posts. I shared your perspective on the chelation thing until I got my son's labs back and started looking at HHV6. It can basically take over the brain, encephalitis style. Terrifying. We have seen such good gains from the antivirals that I am rethinking the " chelation will resolve everything in due time " approach. Don't get me wrong, I know that the mercury is what sent us down this path and that we will have to fully chelate my son. I am just trying to figure out the most effective way to get from point A to point B. Anne > > I agree with Valentina, IMO, nothing should interrupt the chelation. If you can do them both, fine, if not, I would have to pick the chelation, particularly if there was lead. > > Anne, I would hold there with the VS for the 3-4 weeks and try to reduce and see what you get maybe before I would think about the Valtrex. > > We reduced the VS almost five days ago now and are still getting improvements. But personally, I would not mess around with the antivirals if it meant putting off chelation. > > Best of luck to you, > > Re: [ ] Anti-viral attack, continued. > > > Anne, > I am in no way an expert in viral stuff.
