The last time I went by my vet's to pick up Ember's interferon, I
dropped off some info I printed from Dr. Belfield's site regarding
Mega C and FeLV. As you all know, Dr. Belfield says that he has
reversed a number of FeLV cases using his own vitamin C mixture, Mega C.
Today, my mom took her kitten, Callie, in for booster shots. The vet
mentioned to my mom that he would not condone the use of vitamin C,
saying that he had tried it in the office for various things and not
found any success with it. This is the same vet who put Ember on
interferon as soon as she tested positive. He also referred us to a
homeopathic vet, and is looking into getting feline interferon for
us. In other words, he's not the standard PTS vet, or the "just take
care of her and bring her back in six months" vet. He is willing to
try things, to be proactive and to recommend the homeopathic vet for
treatments outside of his experience.
This leads me to wonder why, if Mega C works fairly well, it hasn't
caught on in the treatment of FeLV? Despite a lack of scientific
study, it would seem that a number of anecdotal successes would lead
to vitamin C or Mega C being the de facto standard for treating and
possibly curing an FeLV+ cat. Your thoughts?
