IVIG (intravenous immunoglobulin ) or oral immunoglobulin?

[Guest guest]

Is anyone familiar with intravenous immunoglobulin? (IVIG).

Our DAN! doctor says he has seen great results with it.

Does anyone have any experience with insurance coverage for IVIG. I was

advised that insurance companies routinely deny coverage for this treatment

because they consider it experimental.

Also, I just read in the second edition of Jaquelyn McCandless's book,

Children with Starving Brains, that she uses oral immunoglobulin. Anybody

have any information about oral immunoglobulin. Dr. McCandless mentions the

riks of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease with IVIG. How great is the risk? Does the

same risk exist with oral immunoglobulin.

Anyone who can share any information or experience with IVIG or oral

immunoglobulin would be appreciated.
