We used Allergy A from Twinlabs but it appears they don't make that anymore :(

Sam went bright red after about an hour, both days, only lasted for 20 mins and his behaviour looked like phenol overload, silly impulsive, loud and then - poof it was over!

We didn;t really see much other than shiney hair and brighter eyes but then Sam has never had the MMR and neither have I before I had him.

I did high dose protocol for one of my kids, who was not very verbal

at the time. He developed a really itchy rash with toxicity.

The other three of my kids developed signs of toxicity at much lower

doses. One of them complained that altho he was really tired at

night, he could not fall asleep, and only slept 4 hours that night.

Another one complained of a bad headache. For myself, sleep problems

and headache were my symptoms also. The third child complained of

major itchy rash.

I make sure to tell my kids to let me know of any differences/symptoms

when I do certain protocols.

> what is best drops or caps?

I used capsules, but the specific product I used has been

discontinued. I think most people use drops now.

Hi, ,

Our DAN told us that one of the main signs of Vit A toxicity was being very

flushed in the

face and neck. Our son is verbal, but that doesn't mean he could necessarily

communicate

what he was feeling, or feel things the way one might expect a NT person to do.

We

watched him closely for any change in behavior or physical changes. He had no

problems

with the high dose protocol. We used drops.

Ds isn't verbal, but the first sign of toxicity was major cracks in the corners

of his mouth which were that bad, they bled. I did go through with the 2 days of

400,000IU + the 2 out of 3 day maintenance dose. Whilst on the maintenance dose,

he became very tired and cranky, crawled up into a ball on the couch and cried

as if something were hurting him.(Pretty sure this was either bad headache or

body aches but not certain). If any of these begin to happen stop immedietely,

as they come on pretty quickly and his behaviour really did scare me.

Donna.

We are also investigating Vit A protocol also - just found NOW brand

cod liver oil 25,000 iu gel caps, but recall something stating NOT to

use CLO in the 200K iu dose, but rather opt for the drops of mycelized

(sp?) Vit A. Might have been excessive Vit D? Any info on type of A

that works best?

Also re maintenance dose - How to compute and how long to administer?

Yes, do not use CLO for this protocol due to possible vitamin D toxicity.  I

have read that mycellized Vit A drops are best.

You can do 25,000 IU as CLO, and the rest as something else. Just

don't give the entire amount as CLO, because that would be too much

vitamin D.

> Also re maintenance dose - How to compute and how long to administer?

Once measles virus was gone, and my son's body converted carotenes

[which was an entirely different problem], I was unable to give ANY

vitamin A without reaching toxicity. So for maintenance, I would

start low, like 5000 IU, and see how that goes. Dr. McCandless'

recommendations are here

Don't understand why people are inquiring about CLO for this protocol...just use

vitamin A drops...I used 'Metagenic' brand of Mycelized vitamin A,

5000IU...which is 80 drops/day over the 2 days of 400,000IU, + any extra for the

maintenance...I'm from Aus' and had to order from the U.S, so you americans

should have no trouble obtaining.

btw, had forgot to add earlier, that unlike Dana, I can still give ds CLO 750IU

with the on days of chelation, with signs of toxicity again.

Donna.

Sorry, that was meant to be WITHOUT signs of toxicity again.

My particular concern stemmed from the posts that indicated the

natural forms of Vit A were superior to the drops, but possible toxic

levels of Vit D in natural - ergo the questions. It's important to me

not to do more damage to my child and get all the info possible. There

are some who believe Vit A protocol is dangerous to begin with,

regardless of Vit A form. Thanks for the input of your experience.
