Well, the only thing I can do is recite a quote to you. " all chronic disease can be traced back to mineral deficiency" you should do a search on that and read a few of the 1st links, you'll learn that modern farming techniques have inhibited the uptake of vitamins but mostly minerals, and minerals are so critical. I decided to take "Bioplasma" which are homeopathic minerals in tiny tablets, which could be dissolved in water and fed to your baby, I'd reco doing a search in your zipcode for a naturopathic physician, then look on yelp, and doctors grades, and thumbtack, then pick one and get a consultation, in the meantime you can give these minerals to him, and look for baby liquid vitamins, also look for concentrated trace minerals...you might want to do a hair test on him as well. But I believe, if you supply the minerals, the body will use them and you'll see results. I've been taking on avg, 3-5 times the daily dose for over a year now, I'm 64, and my skin does not feel like and old man's skin and I have not been sick with colds and flu either. I feel pretty good. I hope this helps.

Either way, dog, or human, BOTH need minerals, and I'll bet your dog was never given a mineral block to lick, right? My neighbor has a dog he would lick the salt of my hand all the time, the dog is too far gone now and the owner didn't think much of my suggestion, cuz nobody ever heard of it. Funny thing is, it can't hurt the dog....farm animals don't get people diseases like pets do, and pets don't get mineral blocks, unless they lived on a farm. Best wishes.
