>From: Leigh C Scott <[log in to unmask]> >Subject: This is a diet that works for adrenal and lymphoma and insulinoma I have been off line for several days but attention was brought to me on this post: I have some questions for the poster of this message-- Who recommended you add into the recipe hairball remedy? and for WHAT PURPOSE. We devised this formula of nutritional suppliment under veterinary advisement in 1998 at Ferret Wise SHelter. There was NO hairball remedy in it-- and it ( the original recipe) has changed in formulation under close veterinary supervision over the years. I would be most interested in knowing who or whom made formulation changes and for what reason. Hairball remedy is NOT adviseable in a nutritional application - it impedes the absorption of the nutritional suppliments by accelerating elimination. Karo or honey is now replaced with Tahitian Noni, chromium picolinate has been eliminated from the recipe - it is not needed when natural supplimentation of pancreatrophin PMG is used for hypo or hyper insulin conditions.. Also in closing I add - that make sure your ferret has been dx'd by a veterinarian with conditions BEFORE you give supplimentation or you could compound the poor health. The veterinarian needs to be informed of supplimentation and understand it . Those who want more information on the natural nutrition program offered by Standard Process can locate it at: http://www.standardprocess.com/sp_conventions_seminars.asp the following opportunities for veterinary application seminars are listed- the OH event is by FAR the most educational! SP has developed Canine & feline formulations for veterinary application. Due to several factors the human suppliments are used for our ferret rehab at Ferret Wise.
