Guest guest Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 I think the idea was what cows would gravitate towards eating naturally, if they had a choice. Not what the brilliant animal-nazi humans force down their throats. I've never seen a cow chase down a rabbit or a mouse for a snack... And I live in the middle of cow country here. People do terrible things to cows. Over here they cut off their tails so the milking guy doesn't have to occasionally suffer the ungodly experience of being smacked in the face by a swishing tail.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 OMG That is sooooo inhumane and selfish.. I am angered for the cows.. I could just imagine being those cows who cant swat the flies away with their tails anymore.. Ugh..Humans are such barbarians... Coincidental that I should say that as I hear Dr Dolittle sing the " why do we treat animals like animals " song..(the original movie) No kidding.. , my son loves that movie..

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 I see that a few of you have inquired about what is next for me. First I was without Internet and TV for over a week due to large storm, so I am sorry for delay in answering. My doctor said that he has to do something, so he put me back on Nilotinib and his plan is to start me at a very low dose. He started with 200mg a day and after two weeks he upped it to 400mg a day split 200 in the morning and 200 at night, we then will try in 3 weeks up once more to 600?. I have to have full blood work every Monday and CBC Thursday, they are keeping a very close watch on my liver. I guess he is trying his best by tinkering with the dose. Most of the other drugs I failed due to side effects. It is a trial and error situation, but on the other hand I feel ok and still have a good quality of life. I wish to thank all those who have e-mailed me and others who posted on these group with good wishes. I wish that Lottie was back up and around I miss her emails Thanks all SkipD dx'ed 30++++ years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
