/ Back to you: Vitamin A / CLO/ Eye Stims/Chelation

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

No, I am not sure we have viral issues (i.e. have never done a titers

check or anything), although I guess my assumption was that serious

visual stim issues and no reaction to the high dose protocol

(including no toxicity reaction) suggested a problem. I have not

tried antivirals on my son yet (except Virastop a while ago -

primarily for constipation - and we did see some lip sores, etc. with

that), but we have seen nice things from LDN (including a reduction

in the visual stims), whatever that indicates.
