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

[Guest guest]

Hi ,I wouldn't buy any Transfer Factor if you don't have any, it was just that we had such a terrible time with contracting GI viruses when in hospital (such as norovirus and rotavirus) that I felt that anything that I could do to boost his immunity was worth a shot and I would guess that colostrum would have roughly the same benefit.  

I had a look back at the archives and the comment was that the gas part of the GA depletes B12 specifically so it might not affect the other B vits.  I found anecdotally that my son was able to tolerate much higher doses of B vits after his GA's (of which we sadly had many over a course of 2 years, something like 9) than he could when he was not having the GAs. This is purely anecdotal but it was true in our case and we had lots of GA's to test it out on!

All the best to you and your precious son,Darla xx

 

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.
