Guest guest Posted September 19, 2003 Report Share Posted September 19, 2003 Thanks for replying. She was taking 1 drop on Tues, Thurs and Sat/Sun- 1 drop is 5, 000 iu. On M-W-F she did take 2 drops. Dr. Volpe decreased it to 1 drop every day after yesterday. However compared to some doses from other parents this is really low. I just get nervous since I know Vit A can be toxic.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2003 Report Share Posted September 20, 2003 The dose you mentioned doesn't sound like one that would produce toxicity on a short-term basis but it's always good to check that as a possibility. Another possibility would be that your daughter has some sort of viral problem that the Vitamin A is helping her body fight and the rash is an offshoot of the body battling the virus. HHV6 and many other viruses can have rashes and I think acne like eruptions as symptoms. Gaylen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2003 Report Share Posted September 20, 2003 Jeannie-- The toxicity of Vitamin A depends on the type of Vitamin A. There is a water soluble form that does not have the potential to be toxic. Ask Dr. Volpe if it's possible to use that form or check to make sure that you aren't using that form already. cs --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2003 Report Share Posted September 21, 2003 i wanted to give every one something to think about that my sister sent to me, it will take u back to ur childhood and really think about it ..... Oh......... the good old days............ People over 35 should be dead According to today's regulators and bureaucrats, those of us who were kids in the 40's, 50's, 60's, or even maybe the early 70's probably shouldn't have survived.Our baby cribs were covered with bright colored lead-based paint. We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets, and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets. (Not to mention the risks we took hitchhiking.)As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags. Riding in the back of a pickup truck on a warm day was always a special treat. We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle. Horrors! We ate cupcakes, bread and butter, and drank soda pop with sugar in it, but we were never overweight because we were always outside playing.We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle, and no one actually died from this. We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then rode down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the street lights came on. No one was able to reach us all day. No cell phones. Unthinkable!We did not have Playstations, Nintendo 64, X-Boxes, no video games at all, no 99 channels on cable, video tape movies, surround sound, personal cell phones, personal computers, or Internet chat rooms.We had friends! We went outside and found them. We played dodge ball, and sometimes, the ball would really hurt. We fell out of trees, got cut and broke bones and teeth, and there were no lawsuits from these accidents. They were accidents. No one was to blame but us. Remember accidents?We had fights and punched each other and got black and blue and learned to get over it. We made up games with sticks and tennis balls and ate worms, and although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes, nor did the worms live inside us forever.We rode bikes or walked to a friend's home and knocked on the door, or rang the bell or just walked in and talked to them.Some students weren't as smart as others, so they failed a grade and were held back to repeat the same grade. Horrors! Tests were not adjusted for any reason.Our actions were our own. Consequences were expected. The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke a law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law. Imagine that!This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers and problem solvers and inventors, ever. The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas. We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all. And you're one of them!Our parents would give us a whipping for doing something that we were not suppost to do.( These were real beatings and we knew our parents loved us.) No cops were called, because it wasn't there business to interfere.Congratulations. Please pass this on to others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before lawyers and government regulated our lives, for our own good...Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn't it? ;o) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 We are in the process of doing thiis with Dr H - I believe it will be his " first time " - so to speak. J's blood tests came back at 2.13 (reference range 0.5 - 0.7) so I think we can safely say her titers are high ! Will update on this as soon as (we are doing a 2 week trial of bethanacol first) BW Jacqui > > Anyone her that have any experience with treating Measles / MMR virus > vith Vitamin A (McCandle / Baker protocol )? > > Anything about clinical effects and side effects, positive / negative ?? > > Geir Flatabø > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Are there any concerns about excessive vitamin A supplementation when bariatric surgery patients take 2 MVI's per day?

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2011 Report Share Posted October 20, 2011 I recall during my training at a local bone health centre that we were discussing how excessively high levels of Vit A intakes have been associated with increased risk of hip fracture … I do not have the reference off hand but it is absolutely worth investigating further!
