Guest guest Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Thanks to everyone who is helping me with my stomach problem. Since you were all so knowledgeable, I was wondering if I could pick your brains for another problem(not mine). My sister-n-laws niece was born with biliary atresia, which caused her liver to stop functioning. She was put on a transplant list, and when she was three years old, she got a liver transplant. She is now five, and has fought hard most of her life just to live. She has been very sick lately. The doctors found the Epstein Barr virus in her system. For normal people, Chronic Fatigue may have been the result. But for her, they are getting her ready to take out her tonsils, appendix, and her spleen (medieval medicine if you ask me), in order to keep the virus from storing up in those areas. They then are going to take her off of her anti-rejection drugs,(throwing her into rejection), to give her the antibiotics she needs that MIGHT help her. I thought you might have some ideas to help build up her immune system, because, basically, Epstein Barr is a death sentence for this little girl, and nothing could hurt. What do you think?

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 ---Susannah, research red marine algae, not sure about it for kids, but in adults it is wonderful for such virus. Would her parents consider a Naturopathic doc? what they want to do sounds brutal. I am learning so much about letting the body heal itself....Linda In herbal remedies , " Susannah Willaims " <susannah7@s...> wrote: > Thanks to everyone who is helping me with my stomach problem.
