Omeprazole as antiviral

[Helen Schoenfeld]

I have just been reading about omeprazole and how it really adds to the antiviral potency of valtrex in going after the herpes virus. Does anyone know if it's been added to the Pridgen Protocol, or if it could substitute for celecoxib?

I don't know the answer for sure, but I think the mechanism for omeprazole is not the same as for celecoxib.

Do not take nonprescription omeprazole for longer than 14 days or treat yourself with omeprazole more often than once every 4 months without talking to your doctor.

That's posted on Medline, but a knowledgeable consumer can decide about the risks and benefits

...plus, Dr Pridgen actually is a doctor

Yes, it's usual use is for stomach acid. The information about it's antiviral properties is new. Best of luck with your recovery
