Janet,

I just read the email I sent you and it was convoluted, sorry I must have
been tired.

Here's the short and long.  Not a ton of information of specifics of dosing
for treating lymphoma with orthomolecular therapy (high dose vitamins) in
cats.  The recommendation I am familiar with suggests:

Vitamin C - 740 mg daily
Vitamin A - 750 IU daily (studies have been done to suggest cats can
tolerate high levels of this - up 20,000 IU daily
Vitamin D3 - I don't have a specific dose on this but individuals deficient
in Vitamin D have a much worse prognosis with lymphoma
Vitamin E - 75 IU daily
Fish Oil - I don't have a specific dose on this

I just suggested the cod liver and oil and mega C because they have in their
mix all of these elements.  I do not believe you should have any adverse
effects with these dosages, but watch carefully none the less if you opt to
do this.  A final word of caution is to start slowly with the cod liver oil
as initially it may cause diarrhea, but if you start at a lower doser and
than increase you should alleviate this problem.

Sorry, I just wanted to clarify and give you all the information I have.
Hope this helps.

Jenny
