Just an FYI, Rx antivirals is *rarely* a short term therapy, chelation
or not. You also need to monitor titers and immune function the whole
time. And with Rx antivirals, you almost always need Rx antifungals
the entire time you are on them. I only know of a very select few
that didn't need Rx antifungals the entire time on antivirals. This
is due to the TH1/TH2 immune shift. One controls yeast while the
other controls the rest and with antivirals, you are switching to
"controlling the rest" so the ability to control yeast drops
dramatically. 3 months may not be long enough to even find the right
Rx antiviral that you need at the moment. I can't comment on naturals
so I have no idea if short term natural antivirals will work out.
Given the unrelenting nature of viruses, I can't imagine it would be
different, though.

I completely and totally agree that no matter what treatment you are
doing, you definitely need to weigh what's happening with what's worth
it. Certain things may be uncomfortable but nothing should ever be
outrageously crazy. We should never put our children through so much
discomfort that it's debilitating. If it's debilitating, it's not the
right thing to do.
