Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Herpes / February 2004Anyone Try Ribavirin (Vilona) to cure herpes???????
I've been reading some people claim that Ribavirin can cure herpes but the US has made sure it isn't available here but that you can get it over the counter in Mexico. It's called Vilona in Mexico. I have the dosage amount and such to take to get rid of herpes but I was wondering if anyone has tried it and if it really worked for them? If it really worked, than I would drive down to Mexico and pick some up and try it. Any help would be appreciated!!!

Thanks, GB There is currently no cure for herpes, inside or outside the U.S. Claims to cure herpes are all false. Claims that the U.S. FDA is overly dictatorial in the medicines it allows can be debated, but news of a herpes cure would be something even the mighty FDA couldn't suppress, and there has been no such news from reputable sources. Save your money on the Ribavirin (whatever it is), but Mexico is nice this time of year anyway. ;-) Take care, Mike To date... there is *no way* to completely wipe out the herpes virus from you body.

And that it may work against herpes simplex. HOWEVER, they said "treat." Not cure. ar > I've been reading some people claim that Ribavirin can cure herpes but > the US has made sure it isn't available here but that you can get it [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > worked, than I would drive down to Mexico and pick some up and try it. > Any help would be appreciated!!! Thanks, GB > I've been reading some people claim that Ribavirin can cure herpes but Cure?? Are you sure they are claming a cure (ie elimination of active or activatable virus from the body) or a that its a viable treatment? Big difference and one that is all too often used badly. > the US has made sure it isn't available here but that you can get it > over the counter in Mexico. It's called Vilona in Mexico. Er they've made sure it isnt available? Rebetol has it as a combo with interferon as a Hep C therapy and Virazole is the US tradename for it. Did they pull it all in the last few months? > I have the > dosage amount and such to take to get rid of herpes but I was wondering > if anyone has tried it and if it really worked for them? If it really Its got an immunomodulatory effect as well as its nuceloside analgoue action and its known to be active against HSV from in vitro and animal models. THat doesn't mean that the side effects in humans at therapeutic doses for HSV are well described or how effective it is. At its core its just another nucleoside analogue in the list. Without checking the immunomodulatory stuff is relevant to HSV people can't be sure that transfers (though I am fairly sure people are ooking at this). So essentially you are staring at trying to get an antiviral off label use wheich has a primary mode of action thats basically the same as all the other ones, and its not exactly the cheapest of drugs from memory. Oh and its got a well described teratogenic effect in animals - no one is really sure how much that transfers over to humans, but then mostly they are working on better safe than sorry.... Tim -- When playing rugby, its not the winning that counts, but the taking apart ICQ: 5178568 Thanks all for the replies and info you provided! It would be nice if it were true.... but I am skeptical. Here is the site that has the info on the cure for herpes. Read it and tell me what you think? I'm really wondering if any one has tried it! Could it hurt trying it? Can it be ordered online without having to go to Mexico to get it? Thanks, Georgyton go here and read this: http://www.totallycool.net/Ribavirin.html Come back and let me (us) know what you think here about the article and if it's credible! Thanks!! >Read it and tell me what you think? I didn't finish the entire article because the first two pages were so full of misinformation I didn't see the point of reading further. Find another source of information. That one is beyond ridiculous. M2 Skip over that part and just to to: http://www.totallycool.net/Ribavirin4.html I can't understand why someone would make that up if it isn't true? > >Read it and tell me what you think? > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > M2 >Skip over that part and just to to: >http://www.totallycool.net/Ribavirin4.html >I can't understand why someone would make that up if >it isn't true? As an exercise, try summarizing the information on that web site and see what you come up with. Try to assemble any facts into an orderly form of some sort. From what I see there, you'll end up staring at a blank sheet of paper. Mike I can't understand why certain people make up the things they do either. Overactive imagination? Craving attention? Personal entertainment? <shrug> I don't know, but I do know that it happens a *lot* on the net. You have to learn to weed through that stuff. I followed the link and read the page, the *whole* page, but the logic it promotes is just plain flawed (and that's sugar coating it). That especially includes his theory that somebody with a cure would withhold that news, waiting on the market to grow. I guess he forgot to take into account that his pot at the end of the rainbow would be at risk from any number of miscalculations. Everything from a security leak and/or somebody discovering the same thing he did, to some drug company discovering *and announcing* some other cure *ahead* of his. And that's just the tip his illogical iceberg. Fact is, very little in the article is factual or credible. Basically, it's all BS. -sorry- but you asked what we think, and that's what *I* think.

I thought it probably was BS, just sounded too good to be true! Looks like I'll still have herpes for a long time. I don't think there will ever be a cure. I read in an old magazine that a cure would be out for herpes in about a year and that magazine was dated 1985 that I got from a garage sale, and it sure was wrong. Thanks for being honest though, that's what I want! Have a nice weekend :) > I can't understand why certain people make up the things they do > either. Overactive imagination? Craving attention?

Why would you believe that he has a cure. However, I think you have already made up your mind and really don't care what we think. So, go ahead and try it. Let us know when you've been cured. By the way, how will you know that you're cured? ar > Thanks all for the replies and info you provided! > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > Come back and let me (us) know what you think here about the article > and if it's credible! Thanks!! You've got me all wrong Grant. I haven't made up my mind about it, I said I was skeptical, maybe overly hoping since I just don't want to deal with having herpes anymore but I was just seeking others advice here, being that I know a lot of you here know a whole lot more about it all than I do, so I just thought I would ask every one here to save myself any disappointments had I went through all the trouble of trying it. I only know by asking and if someone did actually try it by listening to this guy's story and it doesn't work, than I know he is all BS for sure. Yes, my gut feeling tells me he is all BS but having this curse of herpes..... I do wish and hope that I could get rid of it. So I'm always hoping I can find something to get rid of it. Thanks for your advice, I appreciate it! Have a nice weekend! :) > This guy is full of crap.
