Introduction

Viruses are not technically alive, so any reference I may make to "killing" viruses is not technically accurate. Most medical professionals use the term "suppressed". I usually try to use the term "eliminated" when referring to removing virus/es from the body.

It appears that a subset of autistic children have systemic virus issues. This means there is a virus [or more than one] which is present in their bodies and the immune system is not able to eliminate it. Not all children have virus issues, or metals issues. Some children have both.

It is currently disputed whether the immune system cannot eliminate viruses because the body is toxic with heavy metals, or if the immune system is compromised by other issues, and this causes the body not only to be unable to eliminate viruses, but also to retain metals.

Testing

There are several different types of tests to discover if your child has virus issues. For viruses associated with vaccinations [measles virus, etc], consider having your child's titres tested. This is a blood test which will indicate whether your child has immunity [or hyper immunity] to certain viruses.

Other viruses can be tested using different methods.

Protocols

Common prescription medications are Valtrex and Famvir.

The high dose vitamin A protocol is useful to eliminate systemic measles virus.

Over-the-counter ideas include Lauricidin, olive leaf extract, and Virastop enzyme. Adding an enzyme containing protease [those that break down proteins] can be helpful to strip the virus' protective coating and allow your anti-virals to be more effective. Virastop by Enzymedica is available at local health food stores. Peptizyde by Houston Nutraceuticals is also effective in this area.

Most parents report that anti-virals, or viral "die-off", causes yeast overgrowth. The most effective yeast control protocol for my son was biotin, Candidase, and GSE.

Improvements for my son with anti-virals include loss of hyperactivity and most of his remaining stims, increased language and desire for social interaction, and several other benefits.

There came a point when I was able to remove olive leaf extract and Virastop enzyme. I thought I had addressed and eliminated all viruses, but then my son had a cold and one day I watched it migrate directly into his brain. Over the space of about four hours, he lost all his language and his visual stims returned, and his cold symptoms had entirely disappeared. I learned that vitamin C was required to keep the viruses from going into the brain. And, lysine was required to eliminate the viruses that were not eliminated with the vitamin C. Lysine eliminated cold sores and warts at my house. It is also helpful for chicken pox and shingles.
