I've sent this directly to Shelly and in case anyone else is interested, you
can find the "Insulinoma Elixer" by Mary Van Dahm on our web site (see my
signature below), under "Health Issues." It isn't a herbal treatment, but a
diet with various vitamins and such, and is passed out by our shelter and
our vet to those that have ferrets with insulinoma.  It's supposed to reduce
and maybe even eliminate the need for pred.
 
For the ferrets,
Mike
