Dr. Jean Dodd's NEW vaccine protocol - PERMISSION TO CROSSPOST | Thread profile

Sadly, I know all too well about Addison's...it's one of the things we tested my Bandit for prior to losing him to renal failure. Are you on the Addison's yahoo group list? I'm fortunate that my vets are very open-minded. In fact, when Bandit was diagnosed with CRF, I taught them about calcium/phosphorus ratios, using different phosphorus binders other than the standard epikitan (which is not a very effective binder), why...
