Sorry, thought I sent it to the list, guess not. Tally used to be on this list (maybe 2001?). Guess that's when I got on this list. Anyhow - This is her info on her web site: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Pointe/9352/interferon.html
Interferon used in this way, Lynne, is "oral low dose interferon alpha". Not injected. It can of course be administered in other ways, but this is intended to provide a gentle ongoing boost to the kitty immune system. There's lots of undocumented, unresearched stuff about interferon, but this is the protocol that many use. There's also a discussion of whether you do constant, or on-off (like 7 days on, then 7 off). As I understand from Tally's info, the theory for the constant, daily dosage, is that the cat is low in its own natural interferon , and this is intended to supplement it. Now mind you, I'm just saying what I recall, so don't have sources right now other than Tally's info.
