Comments on: What is the evidence?

It has all PubMed and MedLine documents, plus mililons more including full-text journal articles and a large database of theses and dissertations. And, you don't have to register but if you do you can use portfolios to save documents, share documents (and comment on them) between users, and set up automatic alerts.

The food regimen is strict and rigorous without much room for error, but since there are no allopathic treatments left to try and the vaccine did not work anyway, it is time to go outside the box. Would still want to hear your opinion,Dr. Dressler. I spoke with Dr. Fox this am and we are going ahead with the neoplasene protocol as soon as I can find a vet who will order it for me.

Oral tumor excised 2/09,2-3cm's,no node involvement at that time. Did the Merial vacc's and then the 3 month r-graph re-checks. No masses visible but sub-mandibular lymph node enlarged same side as original mass. Cytology shows no melanin present, but presence of irregularly shaped cells and history suggest disease progression. Plan is to extirpate node and then begin course of neoplasene. This is what I need more info on-I need to sell this protocol to one of the managing vets because only a vet can purchase it. Dr. Dressler, can you weigh in on what if any research or case studies I can point to? Thanks. Time is of the essence. I have a 13.5 y/o chessie with malignant melanoms.

Where are your studies on Omega 6? My observations on coyotes over 25 years I have never seen one eat the contents of the gut, ( they carefully tear away the lining of the stomach but the gut contents are left) and the first part of our goats they go for is the fat. When I contacted the fish oil companies I found out that 99% of the fish oil in the world is processed in China. I make my own pet food, and have been adding Calif. grown olive oil, is there a problem with that? I am not trying to get anyone else to feed olive oil, I am just so very concerned about any of the ingredients from China. I read about the omega 6/ omega 3 controversies.

With our summers here in the Sonoran Desert (100+ daily usually) I am now pretty sure it was a stray or probably a LOST pet (being shaved). A Chow Chow (not familiar with breed). 6 years ago I casually mentioned this incident (while describing the animal) to a person walking their dog in a nearby park where I was walking Brandy. They said they heard that a stray dog was in the area but, with my quick glance and unfamiliarity, I didn't know WHAT it was or why Brandy obviously felt threatened to have responded as she did toward it. Never seen one since and NO IDEA WHY Brandy growled and chased it off in a matter of seconds. This is because Brandy loves ALL people and dogs and she's met hundreds on the hundreds of walks I've taken her on. You can delete these email if you want as they have no relevance to the topic. Up to you. :-) Thanks again! Lori Thank you! With our summers here in the Sonoran Desert (100+ daily usually) I am now pretty sure it was a stray or probably a LOST pet (being shaved).

He is snoozing on the carpet as I type. Yes, due to the heat here, I must keep him clipped. Chows have a very thick undercoat and it is beyond uncomfortable for him to be in 85 degrees F when he is designed to be in the mountains of Asia!! :) That is my Chow Chow, Bjorn!!

The reason I ask is because Brandy has always been as laid-back as she is today but several months after we got her... her and I were alone in our back fenced-in patio here in the Sonoran Desert when I heard her 'grrrrrrrr.' She has NEVER barked in the 6 1/2 years we have had her and there has been only one other time that she did this mild growl. Felt threatened by another (human). I thought I was hearing things and she was behind me. But as I turned around I saw that she was darting toward an animal in the desert that I only got a *very brief* look at. I have told my husband about it and tried to describe the dog many times but with its peculiar look was hard to do just that. When I looked at your main page closer yesterday I looked directly at the dog and that was almost exactly what I saw that day in the summer of 2002! Except the fur around its face was less-trimmed or more like a lion's. I have never seen such a breed of dog and I must assume that its body was shaved? Brandy has never, ever growled any other dogs or animals so I do not know why she decided to that day. Perhaps there was something threatening about it. So, after all these years, I was able to show my husband what the animal I saw looked like and he was also at a loss. Thank you, Lori Dr. Dressler,
