Polly: I attended a lecture of Michael Goldberg, MD, a pediatrician from Tarzana, CA. He said that the link between Autistic Pervasive Developmental Delay (PDD), Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction (CFIDS) is a lack of blood flow to the limbic portion of the brain. They can show this in SPEC scans of the brain. With evidence like these SPEC scans, the doctors at the National Institute of Health (NIH) are beginning to believe that these are real diseases—not merely a psychological condition. Something in the environment is causing it. So everyone here can take heart. Twenty years from now, the average doctor will be more likely to believe you.
Unfortunately, there has been a large increase in these diseases—too fast to be thrown into the category of just genetic predisposition. What is causing this? Dr. Goldberg speculates that it is an immune dysfunction. Many of his Autism patients have high levels of HHV-6 virus, the same one they are finding associated with chronic fatigue. However, he doesn’t know if it is the virus that is the root cause of the problem or if it is the dysfunctional immune system that is allowing viruses to take over.
After he gets the yeast growth down in these children, he puts them on an immune modulator that helps them get rid of the viruses. He uses several. One is Kutapressin, an enzyme from pig liver that kills herpes viruses. He is having some very good results. This is Dr. Goldberg’s website: www.NIDS.net.
Shelley: Wow Wow & Wow. That’s my first reaction. Just want to say that I have been injecting 1cc of Kutapressin subcutaneously everyday since September 1998. I can never say “oh wow, this makes me feel better.” Yet, when I have skipped a day, I definitely feel worse. I have high HHV-6 titers... active because why? There is the question. An aside: Kutapressin is mega expensive, and I haven’t been able to get it covered. So maybe in twenty years...? It costs (Are you ready?) $140.00 for 20 days. I’m shopping around... eeeeek.
Note: See the section on transfer factor in the antifungal chapter, Book 2, for information on substances that work similar to Kutapressin to change the balance between Th1 and Th2 immune balance.
Marilyn in Seattle: Lots of mercury poisoned people have trouble with the herpes HHV-6 virus or Epstein Barr. Some find Larreastat (Herpeeze) helpful.
Larreastat is thought to inhibit Sp1, a DNA binding (transcription factor) protein, from binding to segments of the viral DNA and initiating replication.
