high dose VITAMIN A update & question

July 25, 2010

Hello,

This morning at 8am I gave my son 400,000IU of vit a. I noticed positive

changes in eye contact, speech, & socialization within three hours. My

son's tipping point was after his MMR, so I was hoping that this therapy

would be good for him. And so far, it's going well. Other positive changes

that I noticed -- no perseveration -- at all!! Also, he is usually

constantly hungry. Today he did not ask once for food.

At 6pm he had a formed BM, and at 7pm, he had a very toxic crazy looking

type of diarrhea BM after his epsom salt bath. While putting him to bed, at

8pm, he told me that at the park (which was around 3pm), he started to get a

very " scratchy " throat. I then checked his head a noticed that he had an

ever so mild low grade fever. He does not seem uncomfortable, and went to

bed like an angel (sometimes, he'll toss and turn and it'll take about 20

minutes to settle down). But tonight he went to sleep right away. I

usually lay in bed w/ him for 5 minutes while he falls asleep, and tonight,

I noticed that he seemed a bit congested, too. He is the type of kid that

never gets sick -- ever. Which I know isn't a good thing. But the timing

of the congestion and the low grade fever are interesting to me. We have

also been giving him LDN for the past 16 weeks, so perhaps his immune system

is finally starting to wake up.

I'll continue with another 400,000IU's tomorrow, but what should the

maintenance dose be on day 3?? Is the maintenance dose " forever " ? From

what I've read, I can repeat the high dose of 400,000IU's in 6 months, yes??

He is 5 yrs. old, 40 pounds. and also receives 3,750 IU's of vit a in his

CLO every day. Would a maintenance dose be 20,000IU, plus the 3,750IU's

from CLO?? Too much? Too little??

Any input would be great -- thank you!!
