Valentina and / was Re: Anti-viral attack, continued.

[Guest guest]

I am thinking that I should maybe expound on my thinking a bit more

here. All of our kids are affected differently. We all know that.

Mine, unlike either of yours, I think (please correct me if I am

wrong), has a working diagnosis of apraxia and has motor planning

problems, left-sided weakness, etc. From my research, it appears

that unraveling the mystery of how to make him whole requires

perhaps a bit of a different approach, or an approach with different

emphasis or sequencing, than unraveling a kid without these

additional issues. Maybe I am wrong, but my gut, after hours of

research, is telling me to make sure I have a comprehensive anti-

viral protocol in place as we move through this. I am not sure

either of you would disagree with me on this. I query whether the

Virastop/OLE is enough though, in part because we have seen no

regression, no rashes, no colds, no croup, no runny noses (except

yeast die-off related) to date. Could it really be that this kid's

immune system, supported only by LDN and a little colostrum, can

handle all of this? Or is it just that we have only scratched the

tip of the viral iceberg? I wish I knew the answer, or that I knew

of other kids like mine on this board who had gone before mine!
