Guest guest Posted December 16, 2003 Report Share Posted December 16, 2003 These are not bozo questions, but I think you would be giving her much more beta-carotene than she needs. Since Beta-carotene is not converted to Vit. A, you would have to give 54 capsules to get the 400,000iu of A needed. (That is a LOT of caps for a kid - or anyone!) I would suggest giving just Vitamin A. Klaire's has 5000iu of A per drop, with only 25iu of Beta-carotene (negligible); the fish oil from Thorne or VRP is only Vitamin A (no beta-carotene). Unless she fits all the other criteria (reaction and regression following the MMR, obvious gut problems, MBP antibody elevation (indication of autoimmune injury), high IgG serum and high IgA salivary rubeola antibodies, etc. why don't you wait until we get the testing back, particularly since you will soon have the immune tests even before the salivary test result.

Can I give this to XXXXXX or Do I need to wait for the Rubeola results? If I can give it to her, how much do I give her? (400,000 IU or 26 capsules in a day for 2 days?) > Sorry if these are bozo questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
