Dana - some questions about vit. A

[Guest guest]

Dana,

any reasons why you started with a large dose and not with a small

one upping it gradually?

also how did you figure out who of your kids needed vit A treatment

and who did not?

also did your son have any sighs of elevated intracranial pressure

(headache, drowsiness) as a sign of vit A toxicity?

Thanks a lot

I started slowly, but once I got to 300,000 IU per day and my son still had

visual issues, I knew I had to try something else.

Only one had visual stims. And the two others who seem to need similar

biomedical treatment, developed the toxicity rash with less

than 10,000 IU per day.

Nope, altho I do watch for it, or any other sign of problem. So far none.
