We tested him for EBV, CMV, HHV6 and a few others. He was negative.

What makes you think he would need an antiviral? We did not test

vaccine titers but I was told antivirals don't help them.

The most recent test was an RBC blood test. I am awaiting results of

others. But still, Calcium was low on his tests last year - blood and

hair so this is a pattern.

Yes.

My son would make improvements with certain interventions, and then

regress again. Once I started anti-virals, this pattern disappeared.

Depends on which virus/es he tests high in. For example, measles

virus requires high dose vitamin A protocol, which was the first step

for my son to lose his visual stims.

Did you use all natural antivirals like Vitamin A? Or did you use

drugs like Valtrex as well? I have used Lauricidin and enzymes and I

might try Olive Leaf Extract. Are there other natural antivirals?

Vitamin A, olive leaf extract, Lauricidin [altho I recently dropped

the Lauricidin and he improved, plus I started seeing real viral die off].

No

There are others, like Echinacea and such, but I have only used the

three above.

Viral " die off " caused yeast for my kids, so watch for that.
