Herpes virus causing meningitis - Lectroject acyclovir iontophoresis

I would like to know if you have done any studies on the herpes HSV virus that has a unique outbreak. I have this outbreak. When I get an outbreak, it goes into my spinal fluid causing meningitis. This always treated in the hospital with drips of acyclovir.
I have 4 attacks of this since 2000. The ran at first in a 4 year cycle. 2000, 2004, 2008 then had a surprise with a 2009 attack. I noticed that your report mentioned people taking (oral) acyclovir for herpes. They have me on 1 gram of valtrex per day.
To date I don't know if I will have an episode while being on Valtrex, because I have never been on it for any long period of time.
I also have HEP C and am now having symptoms, where I never have since finding out I had it back in 2004. So, any new news would be great!
Answer
Yes, after an attack the hsv virus retreats and enters the CFS and moves into the neural ganglia where it causes damage to the membrane that envelopes the brain. Antivirals such as zovirax and valtrex taken orally have very little or no effect as acyclovir taken orally cannot reach the virus that have lodged in neural ganglia as the drug taken orally is circulated through the blood. The problem with oral medication (tablets) is that with pills the medication goes into the stomach and digestive track where a significant percentage of the drug is destroyed by gastric juices. It is then passed into the bloodstream where it circulates through the liver and is metabolized until there's nothing left of the drug to do the job.
The Lectroject system uses particle transport technology which operates independently of the bloodstream - The flow of atoms is directly through the body and are able to reach any cell anywhere even the neural ganglia.
With the Lectroject system atoms of medication is concentrated by 50 times its normal strength and the (drug) follows an ionic stream through the body independently of blood flow. The atom of acyclovir is inserted into the cell where the virus is, the acyclovir atom interferes with the DNA of the virus and prevents it from replicating. The virus becomes dormant and is eliminated from the body in the normal way (by metabolism).
How acyclovir works: Acyclovir interferes with the enzymes the virus needs for replication of DNA in cells and prevents the virus from multiplying. It is also incorporated into the virus DNA chain which terminates replication. In short we use words like kill, eliminate to describe this process. So antivirals kill viruses or stop viruses from multiplying. The machine itself does not cure herpes, it delivers medication to the cell. The success or failure depends entirely on the medication used.
A typical course is a ½ hour session daily for 10 to 15 treatments after which the virus should be eradicated (like in gone). To satisfy yourself that you are free from the disease you have a Spinal P.C.R. DNA test which detects viral DNA. When PCR is negative it means that no viral DNA could be detected. i.e. No viral DNA means no virus, therefore no disease. Cured.
We haven't ever experimented with HEP C no.
