Well any infection puts stress on the body in that vital nutrients are used up in higher amounts in order to defend the body. Any further stress will just exacerbate the situation - he could certainly run the risk of stress related issues such as cardiovascular. If he must do this I would add copious amounts of antioxidants especially vitamin E which is cardio protective, magnesium (cardio), potassium, vitamin C and b complex vits. If it were me I would swallow my pride and not take the risk.
