HHV-6 is a Virus & needs to be treated with an antiviral Rx. I used Valtrex for my HHV-6 infection, as well as other people who have it that I know.

IgM refers to those antibodies that are produced immediately after an exposure to the disease, while IgG refers to a later response. IgG generally confers immunity to a patient so far as that particular disease is concerned.

An elevated (above normal) IgG is not a good thing. It means that the virus is reactivated. My HHV-6 IgG was at 9.6 & it took over 1 & 1/2 years of Valtrex to get it withing normal IgG range.

Since my DS has this I've been reading like crazy about it. Because you have the gene and the toxins build up and don't get excreted, there is damage to many systems. Thus, you feel pain more intensely than others.

So, detox, detox, detox.

Did your doctor give you CSM to bind your toxins? From my understanding CSM is the BEST for people like you and my son. See this article:

http://www.usmoldphysician.com/articles/ cholestyramineformold.html

CSMs regular side effects are GI stuff. People can usually deal with that. But I also read somewhere that it can also make you herx, so you may want to watch for that.

I'm not saying you HAVE to take Valtrex, but everyone I know who has reactivate HHV-6 takes it.

Your LLMD should at least be Rx some type of antivirals, if not Valtrex. You SHOULD NOT have to see someone else.

If your LLMD won't Rx Valtrex, see if s/he would be willing to Rx Byron White Formula A-EBV/HHV-6.

Even your PCP can prescribe antivirals. Acyclovier is another one that might work. I think it's an older anti-viral than valtrex.

I guess I wasnt crazy all along

I would be in tears saying I felt like I was being poisoned and dying slowly from toxins....I thought I had sepsis like every other week.

I cant believe my gut instinct about it all was right.Very toxic,not detoxing much of anything.

I dont know how my liver and kidneys are not showing some sort of problem

liver enzymes adn stuff

makes no sense

I just went to the health place today to buy a product that is an overall cleance a basic but good one I heard

and

had to get some shake stuff to balance out my issues with blood sugar constantly dropping.

can you pm me what chlorella your son takes?

My son doesn't take chlorella. He take a prescription product cholestyramine (CSM). It's the best of the best for people like you and he.

It's easy to take. It's a powder you mix in water. Awesome, right? Take it between meals and supplements.

It's the best biotoxin binder. Can you ask your doc if he thinks it would be okay for YOU to take CSM?

Please realize that your anxiety and depression are worse because you are not able to detox. Once you get this detoxing under control, you will start to feel better!!

i also have/had EBV, i was on acyclovir for a year and a month or two. i got on medicine may last year.

i do not remember having mono as a kid but that particular year i was with my neice who got mono.

right now i am weaning off the acyclovir as my test results are finally in the normal range.

from my understanding, first off i am on ceftin for the lyme and i continued to take it thru all of the acyclovir.

with this virus, most likely you had before and the stress of the lyme brought it back up. it is said 85% of the population has been exposed to the virus.

the treatment of the lyme is not effective if the antiviral is not being used.

it suppresses the lyme. my continuation of using ceftin with the antiviral was that when and if the lyme showed its face, the ceftin would kill it.

as you know lyme is not like normal bacteria when it has 24 hour productive process. we do not know if lyme show its face in four weeks or five weeks or what week it comes out from hiding. so the lyme treatment should also take place with the antiviral.

i look at my history, i had chickenpox. God only knows whatelse i can look forward to in the future.

i do know with the lyme and the EBV, i was always extremely tired.

my detox program is more of dry brushing, epson salt baths, drinking lemon water and once in awhile i would take the chorella.

there is always lemon in a bowl around here....
