Ok. So after my EBV and CMV results, and the instinct/hunch that half my problems are from sand flea bites. (sand fleas can carry a lot of viruses) I thought I'd get a proactive head start on the flu season.
I ordered A-V.
Said on the bottle, one drop in water twice a week.
One drop? That's it?
Yep, one drop. "whoopdee doo" I thought.
Well I stand corrected.
One drop knocked me on my butt.
It may be too strong for me to take, at this time.
Anyone else had experience with A-V?

I got no reaction from it...what happened?
BTW sand flea bites are notorious for carrying lots of crap, including bartonella....were you bitten on the beach somewhere? where do sand fleas hang out?

Hi CD57-yes, vacationing in Cuba. Bit by a gazillion sand fleas while lounging on the white sand.
Then I brought a sick blind cat some food, and when I put the food down, it scratched my arm.
So I'll be vacationing for a while on the sharp grey dirty sand on the west coast of BC for a while now. Take my chances with slippery rocks and sharp jagged mussel shells instead. Haha.
Yes! I couldn't believe the A-V! One teensy tiny drop in a litre of water. It was like taking a sleeping pill.
(one that works, that is)
Fatigue 10. Limbs like lead.
Wow!
Wait a second... Maybe I should take a drop on the days I have terrible insomnia...
Hmmm... Might work?!

Byron White formulas are STRONG.
You can work up extremely slow.
Some of his formulas say to try 1/3 of a drop. Seriously, I couldn't tolerate 1/6 of a drop.
My LLMD has people use 15 drops of Sydetox 15 minutes before taking Byron White to try to lessen the flare.
My husband can tolerate BW formulas, I can't.

A-V is strong stuff! I tried it once and started herxing right away. Lax is right, you have to go slow. I should have diluted it, but the doc that put me on it (years ago) didn't tell me that, or maybe he did and I forgot.
Posted by GretaM (Member # 40917) on :
This may be a silly question...but how does one get a 1/3 of a drop?
Do you dilute one drop in 9 oz. of water, and then drink only 3 oz.?
I didn't realize how strong BW formulas were. Wow!

Hi BW are very strong!! Yes, you dilute so I usually start with an eigth of a drop-all I can handle. So put one drop in 8 oz of water and drink one ounce would be 1/8. Good luck-they do work!!
