Dear Michelle: How thoughtful of you to share some of your VO with Kyle. Is it helping?
Stockpiling the stuff is a good strategy, would that I could afford to do so. For now it is all I can do just to afford the immune-boosting supplements. Now if I could win that pie in the sky lottery (but can't afford to buy tickets for that, either) I could buy stock in the company, or maybe bribe someone in the FDA. I keep hoping and praying if and when my two remaining positives may need some, I will be able to afford it and one of you less financially challenged listmembers may have some on hand to spare that I could buy. They really need to do some more studies to determine if this is a reliable treatment for helping an FeLV+ cat in stage 1-4 to seroconvert. And what it can and can't do to reliably benefit those cats who are already stage 5 and persistently viremic, or stage 6 and crashing. I've been told it IS possible to determine which subgroup of virus cats are infected with, but this is only germane in a research setting. And it is possible using the ELISA and IFA tests to determine which cats are still in the very early stages of infection or already have it settled in their bone marrow. Do you think we could find someone at a vet institution who would be interested in monitoring some home trials? Lord knows we have an ample supply of study candidates on this list. I don't suppose the company would be willing to provide the VO at a reduced cost, by any chance? Dream on. lSally in San Jose
