Virucide vs antiviral

[Gingergrrl]

So does it just work by turning a person's immunity up or down as needed?

@Judee In case this is helpful, oxymatrine is not recommended if you have Hashimoto's or autoimmunity per Dr. Chia. I'm not sure if that pertains to your case but it ruled it out as an option for me.

Anyone know if oxymatrine is safe to take with Famvir?

I have not come across any contraindications for oxymatrine, apart from the advice to avoid it if you have a personal or close family history of autoimmune disease.

Thank you @Hip I think I may add this in later in summer after I've been on Famvir about a year (once the little relapses from Famvir clear up).

Thank you!!! I was wondering about that.

Yeah, I have high titers on the both the thyroid antibodies which my new doctor was reluctant to say is Hashimoto's just yet. Mom and Sis both have Hashimoto's plus aunt and grand-niece have Lupus so autoimmune does seem to run in my family.
