Re: supplements to stop before & after surgery - For Darla

[Guest guest]

Dear Darla,

Thank you so much for your very warm message, I am really grateful :-)

I will be sure to dose the B vits, I was not aware of this especially as

Norman depends on B6 (p5p) to control some of his seizures. I have used

Transfer Factor in the past, at the moment I don't have any but do you

think Colostrum can also help?

Looking on the bright side and with all the positive energy, I am sure

Norman will have a positive outcome from this.

Darla, thanks for this. Wow that was a lot of GA's for in such a

short period!! It must have been so worrying for you. What gas was

used for , was it Nitrous Oxide?
