Thanks for the info! I actually came across Dr. Belfield's info in my research...but I couldn't get the link to ordering the product to work. Do you have a place you get it or a website you can order it from? I'd be willing to try it if I can get my hands on it!
Also, did Oreo have any problems with crystals in his urine or kidney stones or anything? I read in a couple articles that too much Vitamin C can cause those problems. Oy! It's such a balancing act!
Thanks again! And good luck with Ellie and Oreo - congrats on his negative test!! :)

My cat, Oreo, also tested a light positive on ELISA and negative 1 month
later on IFA. Does this mean that he is definitely negative and can be with
my other cats who tested negative? I hope so because he's been with them
now for about 3 weeks. The others are vaccinated against FeLV.
He may be negative now because of something called Mega C Plus I started
giving him right away. It was formulated in 1977 by Dr. Belfield, a
veterinarian. He claims hundreds of cats have become FeLV negative since
then. Here's a link that takes you to information on Mega C Plus that is
worth reading: http://www.belfield.com/JIAPM-1983.pdf
Remember to back off a little if they start getting diarrhea. I have Ellie
on it, too. Her IFA showed it is in her bone marrow; she infected Oreo.
Apparently there is hope for her, too, according to Dr. Belfield. I, of
course, keep her separated from the others.
