Peanut butter? A little bit of yogurt? If you're using these to

practice swallowing, tell him to tip his head *down before trying to

swallow, because that will make the capsules will float in the right

direction.

No, it really has to be given well away from food or else the enzymes

just digest the food instead of the viruses. School schedules make it

hard, but I used to give it the second he woke up (and give breakfast

at the last second befre leaving for school), when he got home from

school, and at bedtime. Definitely takes some planning and trouble,

but was totally worth it.

You could consider waiting until school vacation if that would be

easier. Then you'd know going forward if it's worth the trouble.

We are only able to use a sprinkle due to viral die-off increasing

yeast. Some people can tolerate and need much much more. This product

is very effective with treating viruses. I recommend reading about the

stair-step pattern on Defelice's web site.

For viruses I suggest vit c to the point of loose stools and than back

down a little bit. We give vit c four times daily.

ViraStop tastes nasty but is well worth it. Try honey or peanut butter.

My daughter is a tropper. I just put it in pear sauce or applesauce.

Really try to get it in on an empty stomach. Melinda

I tried 1/2 capsule in chocolate syrup and he takes it.

Peanut butter and honey worked for my kids.

Not as well, but some people do give it closer to meals than the

recommended times. Just try to give it as far away from food as possible.

> What dosage should I try?

Start with one capsule per day, see how things go. Watch for yeast

overgrowth.
