[Felvtalk] Lysine

[Amy Glunt]

Bob, I'm curious if you could link to the study you mention. I've been taking lysine for years to help with my cold sores and I find that it most definitely IS effective at helping suppress them. Maybe it's different for animals.

I'd prefer to " believe" at this point rather than to feel helpless... there are other anti-virals one can use but they are rather expensive and have their share of side effects....  Once again... have to weight the benefits against the drawbacks.

>> Lycine is supposed to suppress, not eliminate, reproduction of the virus.  Apparently it has been in use for decades.  It is an amino acid, so not harmful.  Googling just now I found a study that says it does not work.  Nevertheless, I am going to use it to try and protect my other cats. Destiny's infection was never cultured, so might not be Herpe's anyway.  Antibiotic seems to not be working either.  I am feeding cat food with a syringe and she is going to the vet today for a consult on using steroids and Zander's Protocol.
