mono was a respiratory virus, maybe this product would help. It
couldn’t hurt. A different Emily returned to the office five days later.
She was smiling. There was no evidence of any illness on exam. I
repeated her CBC and was shocked to see it had normalized. I am
still filled with amazement that a healthy child was able to go off
to college.
A similar incident occurred that Christmas Eve when I was
working at Pediatric Acute Care. A 7-year-old boy presented with
a temperature of 104 degrees, exudative, tonsillitis, lymphadenopathy,
a diagnosis of strep and a rash from amoxicillin: déjà vu. Once
again, a rapid strep test was negative, Monospot was positive and a
CBC was indicative of a viral illness. By that time, I was using EPs
7630 regularly and I knew that since they lived an hour away in
Indiana, they may not be able to find the product in a small town.
Christmas was the very next day, and it was on a Sunday. I gave the
dad the telephone number of our local representative for Integrative
Therapeutics and told him he could reach her Monday after the
holiday to find the nearest place to purchase EPs 7630. When his
child wouldn’t get out of bed to open his presents on Christmas
morning, the dad called Cathy Leet, BSN, our local representative
for Integrative Therapeutics. Cathy gave him a telephone number
for the Westmoreland Pharmacy in New Albany, Indiana. The owner
opened her pharmacy on Christmas morning and sold him a bottle
of EPs 7630. I called the dad several weeks later and he told me that
the morning after Christmas and two doses of EPs 7630, his son got
up and got dressed for school as if he had never been ill (silly boy,
there’s no school the day after Christmas!). Dad was ecstatic and
then asked me if I thought EPs 7630 would cure his Crohn’s disease.
PEDIATRICS
who was a freshman at the University of Kentucky and had just been
diagnosed with mono. I recommended EPs 7630 and, once again,
it worked miraculously. He returned to the Student Health Center
four days later as the picture of health. The clinic doctor experienced
the same shock, amazement and disbelief I had felt nine years ago
with Emily. She said she was going to recommend EPs 7630 to all
her patients with mono. And thus, I decided to write this article
because it wasn’t fair to let the University of Kentucky doctors have
more fun than the University of Louisville doctors when it comes
to treating mono. Go Cards!
Dr. Daly is a practicing pediatrician at Brownsboro Park Pediatrics.
Several months later, a parent arrived at my office with tears
in her eyes for a consult. Her 16-year-old son had been diagnosed
with mono 18 months earlier and had developed chronic fatigue
syndrome after his diagnosis. His fatigue caused him to quit his high
school wrestling and baseball teams. Her exact words were, “He has
no life.” His parents would wake him at 6 am to go to school. When
they came home at 6 pm, he was asleep. They woke him for supper
and an hour of homework, and then he went back to sleep. He did
not go out on weekends, nor did he hang out with any of his friends.
I referred him to Bingham Child Guidance Center for therapy so
he could learn to cope with his chronic fatigue syndrome, but I
also suggested he might be willing to try EPs 7630. I wasn’t sure it
would work, but I knew it wouldn’t hurt. I spoke with the mother
several weeks later, and she informed me he felt better in one week
and was back on all his teams by three weeks. She said she could
only give him two doses instead of the recommended three doses
per day. She also stated that she would always keep that product in
her medicine cabinet.
