Dana and others -

Can you describe the rash you've seen that is associated with the

Vit. A?

Thanks

My son's vitamin A toxicity rash is red bumps, dry and scaly, and itchy. Mostly

on his legs, then spreading to his belly and arms.

OK thanks Dana -

My son's visuals are back a bit after bringing him down to his old

dose of 5000 clo per day split am pm. I may try the whole protocol

again and go alittle higher as you did. My son did show signs of

toxicity during his maintenace doses of 20,000 - 100,000. One being

some fluid retention (reduced urination?) and the rash which would

pop up in different spot like it was travelling. Mostly knees, thigh

and butt. Perhaps I'll wait for awhile ala McCandless - 6months.

Some improvements remain but the visuals are back. Any ideas? I'm

using the palmitate.

My son's rash did not travel, it spread. It never left where it initially

started.

My son is also slightly hyper when he has the toxicity rash.

Well, for my son, depending on other factors, it would mean either I needed to

do the high dose again [if 100,000 IU did not produce

the rash], or I needed to reduce the dose. Right now even 1250 IU per day seems

high, he still has the toxicity rash, so I am giving

him another day off.

Good luck.
