ImmunoPro Continued

I've read many more positive things about ImmunoPro Rx. It apparently helps with liver function, so if you are taking toxic drugs it would be beneficial in that regard in addition to helping your immune system. You get kind of a two-for-one deal with this product.

Dr. Ablashi has done some research on ImmunoPro and highly recommends it. Here is a summary of some of his findings:

Whey protein ImmunoPro(which enhances glutathione production) was found to inhibit HHV-6 in testing done at Advanced Biotechnologies (Ablashi et al. unpublished data). Further, it was found to reduce the toxicity of foscarnet and potentiate the foscarnet (thus reducing the amount of dose administered) when the two were tested together. Of course, clinical trials are necessary to determine if there is any clinical benefit.

It definitely seems like taking this product is helping me. Whenever I take something that helps fight off the viruses I'm dealing with, I have very bizarre but distinct feelings of pain in my head and face, which I have discussed at length on this blog before. I have had those reactions with ImmunoPro, but I did not have those reactions with ViraStop. I definitely think ImmunoPro is a better bang for the buck and is more effective than ViraStop.

I've decided to go ahead and start taking two scoops per day (5g twice/day). This is the maximum that Dr. Paul Cheney recommends for this product. It is apparently more potent than other undenatured whey proteins on the market, and when combined with the very reasonable price it is quite cost effective.

  1. hello. i just came across your blog. it's weird i hadn't found it before; i usually scour the internet for CFS-related stuff.

    i am the poster you referred to, whose RNase L dropped after the addition of Valtrex to the Valcyte. unfortunately, the regimen seems to have stopped working and i am quite distraught. the brain fog is horrible.

    it was nice to read your blog...for some reason, it cheered me up a little:)

    i am considering a few different options now: intravenous cidofovir or foscarnet (though infusions may be cost-prohibitive for me) or artesunate (i just ordered some from hepalin.com).

    i post often on the immunesupport.com message boards under the name "ladybugmandy". i have had CFS for almost 18 years now.

    best of luck
    love
