I am sorry, but I am not familiar with feLIX and my only association with
AAFP is the american association of family practitioners. I'm not sure why
felv would be addressed in any guidelines they put out. Could you enlighten
me.

Yeah, it's felv type c. You know how there are three types A and B being
those transmitted and C being the mutated form that primarily causes
disease. Let me see if I can find a good paper.

i do know that there are different strains, but really haven't encountered

Okay this is going to take awhile but here's a sort explanation from a pet
md website. I should clarify - type C being the mutation I most fear -
causes the severe anemia and rapid decline to death. It is what I have seen
multiple times.
FelV is a retrovirus, an enveloped RNA virus which uses
FeLIX, indeed! however, having that info, a really quick search shows stuff
back from the early 2000s; i can't follow-up right now, but there were a
number of things that showed up in early research back then that has been
completely invalidated by further stuff.
anyone remember if FeLIX was
Okay, this is kind of technical but it basically supports the idea that
mutations (in this case deletions in DNA) result in a more virulent and
pathogenic virus worsening the disease state as these mutations are gained
by the virus. Here's the link.

this information.

Hi Jenny,
Good information, thank you for the investigation. If you have further
contact, could you ask about the risks of using steroids? Since you already
have contact, it's probably better if you could ask rather than the man being
bombarded with emails from the rest of us :-)

I'm glad to hear that he is willing to communicate with you. That the
treatment only results in the suppression of the virus, is a little
disappointing. This would make it about equivalent to the claims of Dr.
Belfield for his vitamin C therapy. He claims he cured every FeLV
