Yep this is my son also, plus #4 I can't give *any* vitamin A or she

explodes in the toxicity rash. Very confusing, and noone seems to

know why. But I can't give my son more than 1000 IU 2x per week, or

he has problems. I am really not sure I can give him even that much.

My son now needs Lauricidin, because apparently other virus issues are

present and the Lauricidin addresses that. But it causes yeast, so I

give it with GSE [see previous messages on this]. Right now these are

basically my son's only two required supplements. I occasionally give

others like cal/mag, but they are not required.

I don't know if OLE addresses bacteria, I used it for virus after the

high dose vitamin A and before the Lauricidin.

It is possible. Someone recently mentioned Grape Seed Extract might

help with that. Or you can consider giving Benadryl and see if that

works. Or Claritin.

Good luck.

Thanks Dana--I give her Monolaurin, and I have for several months. I

may try the grape seed extract. I gave Claritin yesterday, but could

not tell if it helped really. I'll let you know what happens. The

vitamin A deal with your child and mine is one of the most confusing

things I have encountered so far. Before the toxicity she took 20,000

iu per day fine. Now nothing!!! Oh well, thanks for th input.-Tod

I agree, very confusing. I know why I can't give more than USRDA, but

why can't I give even a small sprinkle? Very confusing.

> What about foods high in Vit A? Any reaction to those?

So far as I know, those foods are actually high in beta carotene,

which is not vitamin A until converted by the body. But I have not

noticed any problem with those foods.
