The Belfield formula is oriented towards cats and dogs I think.
Don't think he has a human formula, but maybe I just am not aware of it.
Thanks for your story - it's wonderful and inspiring! So glad to
hear that. I'm now inspired to try it - I've used it for URI, but
never persistently for FELV cats.

Gloria,
Is your Belfield's Vitamin C for human consumption or is it the
Mega C Plus for
cats, dogs and equine?
I got Oreo as a stray. I trapped him behind the Dumpster at
Kentucky Fried
Chicken. What a joy he is in my life. He drags a rubber dog bone
around the
house and I'll find it in my bed and in his water dish. He is so
happy and full
of life and so intrigued with everything. I think God must have
known I
couldn't handle losing him to FeLV. He is truly my soulmate.
My ex-roommate brought Ellie in. I said she could bring her kitten
with her
when she moved in. She said she'd had her tested for disease.
When I moved in,
I found out she hadn't. I kept begging her to get her tested. She
made an
appointment and then cancelled it because she "didn't have the
money." That was
it - no concern for my 5 healthy cats. When she had Ellie spayed,
I asked her
to have her tested at that time. When I asked if she'd had her
tested, she
said, "Oh yes, she's negative and they gave her a clean bill of
health." When
she moved out on me, I asked her to leave Ellie because Oreo and I
had gotten so
attached to her. I called her vet and was told she hadn't been
tested. I was
livid and scared. Ellie tested positive. I had my other 5 tested
and to my
horror, Oreo tested positive, a light positive; the other 4 were
negative. I
was devastated. I kept him separated from the others, had him on
Mega C Plus
for 3 weeks, then had him re-tested and he was negative. In the
meantime, they
all got upper respiratory infections except for Ellie. The vet
said Ellie
probably brought it in and had already dealt with it before moving
in. Oreo was
the only one who didn't have it as bad as the others. I attribute
it to the
Mega C Plus.
What a nightmare my roommate was. She also almost burned down my
house. That's
it for roommates for a while.

Kathi, that's so interesting. I have Belfield's Vitamin C, but
haven't consistently used it with that purpose.
Also - I'm wondering where you got Oreo and Ellie. And how did
Ellie infect Oreo? Were they outdoors together, or did you raise
them or what?

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://

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.

Have a 16 yr old black cat that has tested VERY LIGHT positive
TWICE. Her
lifelong buddy has tested neg each time & remains with her. I
have to keep
them caged (large upright). They have an inside cage & a
porch cage.
"Mischief" appears in the best of health, eats great, poops
beautifully &
shows no signs or symptoms of disease or illness.
Would it be safe for me to shut a room at night for them & let
them have
some freedom if I picked up ALL bowls & Litterboxes in the
morning? And what
exactly IS light positive?
Not sure what 'light positive' means. I asked if this was on
Elissa or
IFA
Rita runs a hospice for senior cats many of whom have various med
problems so she is concenred about exposing their already
compromised immune
systems to FELV and exposing the FELV cat to other diseases
.
Any ideas?
I can tell you what light positive is. ""Light positives" are
where the
treated blood only changes color slightly. This means your cat
is infected
with the virus, but the virus is not very active in its system."
From http://www.fanciers.com/other-faqs/FeLV.shtml
My kitten was "light positive" on Elissa. She later tested
negative.
