Antivirals

With a lot of talk about viruses these days I thought it was a good time to write an article about the viral problems we see in  metal toxic children. 

We have found that for most parents an antiviral protocol will be part of the process to detox metals. Mercury really messes up immune function so it's not that surprising our bodies might struggle to control normal viral problems. We can actually do something about it though and get our children's immune systems into shape.

Many times parents aren't sure if their child has a viral problem but there are some clues that indicate it may be an issue for your child.

These are a few common indicators your child's body might be struggling to control viruses.

• Routinely high B cells counts or low NK count, or irregular ratio of T-helper cells to T-suppressor cells on blood tests.
• Your child functions so much better when they have a fever.
• Your child has low muscle tone or motor problems (especially on one side of their body).
• You see a temporary improvement in function or behavior while taking antibiotics.

Some children have only one of these markers, while others have several but in either case you will find yourself faced with doing something about the viral overload situation. It is normal to want to deal with this right away but in most cases you're going to need to detox a bit first. This will allow your child's immune function to improve some on it's own so when you do get to the antiviral protocol, it's going to work better. 

Some children may actually need antivirals sooner than later to control a current infection that is causing problems and that's ok too.  Antiviral protocols are not a one size fits all situation so if your child struggles with a chronic HSV infection, certainly doing something to help their body control that is going to be helpful.

In our new book we give you information on doing an antiviral protocol as well as  how to support your child's immune system in the process. You'll also learn about what herbs are best for certain common viral infections. These tools will give you the info you need to get your child's body and immune system back in shape.
