CF - Dr. Wallach, BS, DVM, ND

[Guest guest]

Sharon, your comment on CF caught my eye.

I am currently reading several books by Dr. Wallach, BS, DVM, ND and

his wife Dr. Ma Lan, MD, LAcc. Together they have performed over 20,000

autopsies on humans from all parts of the globe and over 400 species of

exotic animals. Dr. Wallach was the first to induce CF in ADULT primates.

They link CF and the associated pancreatitis type issues to a selenium

deficiency. In fact, he clearly states an adult primate can be induced into

CF simply by causing them to have a selenium deficiency. He also links a

selenium deficiency to Myocardial Infarction (MI or heart attack). It seems

the few people I have known to have CF ended up dieing of an MI. Just

something for you to look further into... another possible piece to your

puzzle, if you will.

The books I'm currently reading including Immortality and Dead Doctors Don't

Lie. I also have a copy of the tome Diseases of Exotic Animals: Medical and

Surgical Management. It's the go to reference for the big zoos and

aquariums around the world. Very insightful read - once you translate the

chronic human disease process into the animal equivalent, it's a very

interesting reference!
