Guest guest Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 If it is an allergy rash, it would be good to find out what he was allergic too. Those can be serious. In researching viruses for the Purify-virus trial done this past fall, here is what I found out about viruses. A virus can get into a nerve (which is a lot of them, though I don't know if it is all viruses). When it gets seriously active OR when you are treating it, the virus can travel through the nerve system and you can get 'virus rash' whereever this nerve hits the skin surface. The characteristics of a viral rash is that it is very localized and painful in a deep way...not just surface itching. It can hurt to the bone or deep into the muscle tissue along with surface itching and pain. The rash tends to be in patches on the following areas: face, neck, shoulders, torso, side or chest. It can be only on one side of the body too. It is not usually an all over the body spreading wider and wider type rash. Another characteristic of viruses is its cyclical nature. You can have a rash appear and disappear on a regular cycle. Or the person may become ill for no apparent reason, then get well spontaneously, then become ill again and so on at regular intervals. These intervals might be a certain number of weeks, months, or even years. The point that it is cyclical is more notable than whatever the time interval is. The reason there is this cycle (and yes, I wanted to know why, LOL) is because a virus has a particular pattern of infecting cells, multiplying, and then exploding out....more cells are infected, then there is a time inside the cell where it multiplies undetected, then explodes out. Treating viruses may also show this cyclic pattern which is different than that seen with yeast and bacteria die-off. Here is more on this if you are interested: http://www.enzymestuff.com/conditionviruses.htm . P.S. I must apologize to someone who posted about viruses about a month ago. I wrote out a long description reply to your post and later noticed it didn't appear (aggravating!) - got too tired to re- write it all at the time.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 This is just a tidbit to offer to this interesting discussion -- My whole life I suffered from horrible -- HORRIBLE -- cold sores, most likely caused by the herpes II virus. I never had one cultured, so I never knew for sure which virus was causing them, but I responded very well through the years to the new treatments that arose for herpes II. Anyway -- what describes about that internal pain is exactly how my cold sores felt. The pain was excruciating and deep, while the actual blisters were more annoying and itchy, though they too could become very painful. This is the part you may find most interesting. Whenever the virus was activated, by sun, foods, lipsticks, any lip irritation, or exposure to another virus, in time I could almost " control " the way the virus was going to be triggered. So for instance, if it was prom night (HA), I would allow the virus to come out as a " cold " by aggressively treating the cold sore. The cold sore wouldn't explode, but I would get sick. If I prefered not to have a " cold, " I would allow the cold sore to develop, and thus have a cold sore and not the runny nose, etc. Sometimes I would get both, but always, if I allowed the cold sore, the " cold " symptoms were not as bad. As I've gotten older, the virus seems to have burnt itself out. I haven't had a cold sore in about four years. Thank heavens. They are really horrible. > > If it is an allergy rash, it would be good to find out what he was > allergic too.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 That is interesting because I started treating my daughter's cold sores with a cream the doctor prescribed and they got better. However, she developed a cough and some congestion soon after the cold sores started going away. I know she has had herpes virus activity in her system because it showed up on her viral panel that was done about this time last year. It showed past and recent activity. That is why we started using the Purify, but I'm not sure that it wasn't causing some sleep problems. I think it has calcium in it too and I wonder if that was the problem. Any thoughts anyone and suggestions for fighting virus problems?

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 How much magnesium? We are giving magnesium twice a day now.
