Re: Weaning off RisperdalANDY

[Guest guest]

Andy I would love to give Vit A but my guy is so highly allergic to fish -

and I know the other source of VitA is not good for the brain. Do you have

any suggestions other than Cod Liver Oil?

Many thanks

, I use Twin Labs Allergy A and buy it at www.iherb.com.

It is fish and corn free and is quite cheap. I wanted a good source

of Vitamin A minus the Vitamin D in CLO. I still give some CLO but

want to keep the vitamin D so the main of his Vitamin A source is

from the allergy A. He had planter's warts on his little toe for

years and they disappeared with in 2 weeks of starting high dose

vitamin A therapy. Guess it really is anti-viral! Maddie

Twinlabs has something called " allergy A. " You might want to check

where they get it from.

brain.

Is this correct. My son is taking A Palmitate. Each tab

contains 10,000 IUs, the fish oil ones only have 2500-

3000. I would have to give hime too many to make the

recommended dose. Thanks.

Most forms of vitamin A are fine, despite superstition to the

contrary.

The only form that is a problem is " vitamin A " as carotenes, since

carotenes really are NOT vitamin A, but may legally be called vitamin

A.

Why is that?

availability of the cis form of Vitamin A, and not necessarily the

omega fatty acids that it provides. If most forms of vitamin A are

fine, and you supplement with flax oil, or fish oil, then is CLO

really necessary at all?

It is not. Some find it convenient, but it is not necessary. .. . . .
