You are going to want to do the same!!! Everyone who is dealing with Autism, Cancer, M.S. and many more things should look into it!!! You are going to want to look at this site
http://hhv6.blogspot.com/I first started reading this book when I was out in Cali but today I was in the library and the book almost call out to me and page 163 opened.
I want to be clear HHV-6 is not herpes simplex!!! HHV-6 is one of 7 Herpes viruses!!!
ImmunoScience Laboratory in the Los Angeles area to test for HHV-6. They perform two sub-tests. If a person has elevated IgM antibodies, it means that they have acute HHV-6 infection. If they have elevated IgG antibodies, they have had an infection in the past.
Coagulation Problems
One way that HHV-6 and Epstein-Barr virus cause illness is by thickening the blood ever so slightly, a state called “hypercoagulation.” Hypercoagulation accomplishes two things for the virus. First, when the blood is thicker, it is more difficult for our immune system to suppress these viruses. Viruses thrive in thicker blood. Second, thicker blood prevents maximum delivery of oxygen and nutrients at the cellular level. Hemex Laboratory in Arizona specializes in coagulation studies. The test recommended for CFS and other viral related illnesses is their ISAC test. There are several ways to thin the blood if hypercoagulation is diagnosed, including low dose heparin.
Did you read that and see the part about OXYGEN AND NUTRIENTS!!!Treatment
I don't write about anything for the purpose of scaring people. I write to educate and then propose solutions. Here is a beginning.
1.Various anti-viral drugs have been tried with HHV-6. Ampligen, which is still in clinical trials, is clearly the best medication. In CFS/ME in which HHV-6 is clearly present, treatment with Ampligen is very successful. Ampligen works by preventing HHV-6 from escaping from cells. Another anti-viral, Gangcyclovir, is often effective very early on in HHV-6 infection.
2. Amino Acids. L-lysine in the range of 1,000 mg 3 times a day slows down viral growth, while arginine can accelerate viral growth. L-arginine is an essential amino acid, which we cannot do without. Its pro-viral properties are largely balanced and negated by L-lysine.
3. Sunlight speeds up the growth of viruses.
4. Stress is proving to be a big factor in worsening viral infections. So learning stress reduction is not just a nice thing to do if one has HHV-6. It is essential. People with CFS/ME often have a problem with their hypothalamus, pituitary, and adrenal glands in which the stress response is reversed. When healthy people are stressed, their adrenals release cortisol into the blood. People with CFS/ME, when stressed, have the opposite adrenal response. Cortisol is not released, or even decreases, in the face of stress, which is why most people with CFS cannot work. We require more cortisol to handle stress. The normal stress-cortisol relationship falls apart in CFS, and therefore minor stress can cause a flare-up. It is possible that HHV-6 is infecting the hypothalamus, which in turn can drastically alter normal function of the adrenal glands. It's one hypothesis.
5. Transfer Factor. This product was patented in 1989 and is made from concentrated cow colostrum (tested to be free from Mad Cow Disease). Cows are exposed to almost everything humans are exposed to. They make antibodies to viruses and bacteria, which are expressed in the milk and concentrated in colostrum. Transfer factor is concentrated colostrum. The first transfer factor product had antibodies to 150 different kinds of pathogens. In the mid-1990's, products were developed that have specific action against a particular virus. For example, transfer factor 360 is targeted against HHV-6, while transfer factor 340 is targeted against Epstein-Barr virus. This product is essential in treating HHV-6, although it can take 3 to 6 months to start seeing benefits and 12 months to reach maximal benefit.
6. Ozone, which is a form of oxygen (O 3 rather than O 2 ), should be part of everyone's treatment for HHV-6, CFS/ME, and FM. To my knowledge, there are just a couple of centers in the country that offer ozone, as the government is not user-friendly with this treatment modality. I have worked with CFS/ME patients who flew to Toronto, Canada for several weeks of ozone therapy. One individual went there several times in one year. Ozone proved to be extremely helpful in her overall treatment plan. Ozone plus nutritional therapy cured her of a bad case of CFS/ME. I cannot personally vouch for any ozone clinic, including those in Mexico.
7.Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (I recommend the Whitaker Wellness Institute in Newport Beach) can be of assistance in multiple sclerosis and other neurological diseases. It is probably less effective in treating CFS/ME, even though both can be caused or exacerbated by HHV-6. To complete the MS story — Mercury in the brain as well as a spirochetal bacteria are also implicated in MS.
8. Immune System Boosters. When you boost your immune system, it becomes unlikely that HHV-6 can become active or that you can be infected with it. Similarly, if you have one of the illnesses described in this article, boosting your immune system could be quite helpful. This topic is too broad to devote a lot of time to. Green products, such as spirulina, chlorella, and super blue green algae support the immune system, as does Vitamin C. Glutathione is an important molecule in our immune system. It can be boosted by N-acetyl cysteine as well as what are called “un-denatured whey proteins,” such as ImmunePro or Metagenics' Biologically Pure Protein. These products not only directly increase glutathione, they also improve general immune system function, including raising natural killer cell levels. The mineral selenium supports glutathione production.
9. Identify other infections, such as candida and parasites. By treating these, you boost your immune system (as well as doing away with dozens of symptoms), and make it harder for HHV-6 to thrive.
