Please proceed with caution.... I too believe that it may also actually inflame the body if you do NOT drink it in high enough amounts.

 

This is interesting. Our LLMD gave us some Virapress (an extract of bovine protein/albumin/globulins) to help increase/regulate DD11's immune/autoimmune responses. From their website:

 

"The Virapress formula is composed of naturally occurring immunomodulatory agents, classified as proteins that include the cytokines interferon, and interleukin. Virapress works by increasing the amount of these regulating agents in the body, and thus intensifying the immune systems response to trauma such as a viral outbreak. In the case of an autoimmune disorder, specific cytokines communicate to the immune system to back off from destroying healthy cells."

 

Except for Abx, I always try these new supplements on myself first, so I tried Virapress - 2 drops/day for three days. The LLMD said to give DD11 7 drops per day, and the bottle suggests 1 ml/day. After 3 days I could barely function because of flu-like fatigue and muscle aching. The inflammation was not fun, and took quite a while to resolve (with the help of anti-inflammatories). Needless to say I have a full bottle of this stuff ($90) sitting in my fridge. I certainly won't be using it on DD11 any time soon.

 

@Kimflow - just wondering if this may be the same type of reaction to which you are referring. I tried searching the net on low dose immunoglobulins and inflammation and had no luck. Everything I read points to low-dose IG being anti-inflammatory.
