Hi all,
 
 
I saw a post yesterday recommending Gaia Herbs' essiac (now called "Sheep
Sorrel Burdock") as a remedy for insulinoma.  This is not correct --
essiac will further lower the ferret's blood sugar, not elevate it.
Essiac is used to treat lymphoma/lymphosarcoma, not insulinoma.  Giving
essiac to a ferret with insulinoma will only make the situation a lot
worse.
 
Gaia Herbs used to market a different product called "Devil's Club
Supreme" for the treatment of insulinoma, but that product has been
discontinued, unfortunately.
 
Just wanted to clear that up,
John
