Can’t get Valcyte, other options for EBV, HHV6

Messages

I’m having a difficult time getting more prescriptions for Valcyte because of the immune suppression side effect (I’m also fighting chronic Lyme).
What else can I take to treat EBV, HHV-6, and CMV? Would Famvir and Valtrex be an alternative? I read Famvir targets HHV-6 and CMV and Valtrex targets EBV. But any suggestions I would really be grateful for.

I think @heapsreal has taken cycloferon to good effect and maybe still does, for cmv I think. I’m sure he can tell you more…
Most suppliers were from Ukraine or Russia, with their situation going on makes it hard to get. I think Australia stopped all banking transactions with Russia. Ukraine most probably closed up shop.
I liked it and it helped some but not a cure but can Improve things for awhile I found, others got strong herx reactions to it.

Up the famvir while hitting lyme. What are you doing for lyme? I've heard dapsone, doxy, rifampon for 8 weeks increasing the bugs for many???
