Hepapressin ( generic Kutapressin ) injection
Hepapressin (generic Kutapressin) injection is an amino acid complex
derived from Argentinean bovine liver (see halacha section). It is
an immune system adjuvant. It is thought to act on the immune system
and reduce dysfunction. The original Kutapressin was a prescription intramuscular (IM) injection and is manufactured by Schwartz-Pharma,
Wisconsin. For various business reasons they were unable to produce
the injection, NOT because of any FDA problem, so we looked for a
substitute Hepapressin it has the same characteristics as Kutapressin
in treating CFS and Fibromyalgia.It has been used by numerous physician
since 1959 for various diseases and for the past decade a number
of doctors have used this injection for CFS. Hepapressin or Kutapressin
on its own it is rarely effective, we have combined the weekly injection
with other IM injectable medicines to produce an added efficiency
complex.
It is combined with a food additive oral Immunoprop daily.
The complex injections are
Hepapressin
Magnesium Sulphate
Folic Acid
B12
Calphosan
Glutathione
Trace elements
IMMUNOPROPl
and its substitutes ( Immunocal) is an amino acid food additive,
it is an oral capsule
taken twice daily. It contains glutathione
, l-cystine, picamilon and trace Selenium. It is thought to be
involved in the immune system and may diminish fatigue and "brain fog",
and assist in concentration and short term memory. Go to immunoprop website.
IMMUNOPlus
Immunoplus is a supplement to Immunoprop in that it contains Follinic acid, folic acid, methyl B12, TMG and other components in the methylation cycle. Dr Enlander believes that the methylation cycle is part of the CFS/ ME dysfunction
Catapult
Catapult contains phosphadyl serine and cat’s claw. It is
a non prescriptive OTC drug used to diminish "brain fog" .
We have had quite good results with it
Neurontin
Neurontin is a prescriptive drug used in neurology as an anti-epileptic
in grand mal seizures. In CFS and fibromyalgia the abnormal impulses
that eminate from the brain are thought to be suppressed and allow
muscle fibres to be less fatigued. The daily dose can be up to 2400
mg per day.
Halacha
We treat many Hasidic and orthodox Jews with CFIDS and FMS.
Porcine derived injection may be used by orthodox Jews when there
is no substitute or alternative medicine. There is no substitute
for kutapressin in this context.
Experimental Treatment:
Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) the opiate receptors are activated by
naltrexone which in low dose produces a ctokine reaction, this is
thought to be helpful in CFS, my opinion is neutral, it is too early
to determine the effect.
LECTROLYTE or RECUP (a Spanish Electrolyte mixture) has received a good review in fortifying muscle and reducing muscle pain. LECTROLYTE may also reduce muscle pain, it contains 45o mg Sodium, 125 mg Potassium , 15 mg each of Calcium and Magnesium and a trace of Zinc. E\LECTROLYTE does not contain sucrose or fructose, RECUP does contain these sugars.
VALCYTE
Valcyte (Roche Pharmaceutical is a prescription antiviral medicine that Montoya ( Stanford University} has shown to be effective against the HHV6 virus. We collaborated in a study under the auspices of the HHV6 FOUNDATION. Patients interestd in this treatment are encouraged to contact us. |
