What is Mega C and how does it work?
If you have men who will
exclude any of God's creatures
from the shelter of
compassion and pity, you will have men who
will deal likewise with
their fellow man.

Francis

Hi Karen,
Welcome, and thank you for caring about these little guys. If possible I
would keep them and even though at some point there may come a time when
they become actively sick and at that point you may have to make some hard
decisions, we all can only do what we can do, and as long as that is done
with love in your heart it is always the right thing. I firmly believe
that if these little bundles of joy could talk they would rather live as
long as they have especially since they are all healthy and asymptomatic
right now rather than be euthanized now and miss out on however long they
may have. It doesn't make any sense to euthanize healthy animals and it
is very possible they may live long fairly normal lives.
My Bailey who is currently sick was positive at 5 months of age when he
found me and has not had any health problems until last year at the age of
9 years which were teeth related, and now with anemia. He is 10 and a hlf
years old and has been healthy, happy and a complete joy for most of that
time and even his teeth weren't that big a deal, this anemia is but we are
doing everything we can to turn him around and pu the virus back into
remission. Bailey is my 4th positive, I lost 3 back in the early 90's
before much was known about it and I had no computer then, and I wouldn't
have missed having any of those furkids even though losing them was so
hard. They gave me years of joy, companionship and memories I can look
back on that are priceless. I wouldn't give that up for anything.
There are many ways to boost their immune system that isn't horribly
expensive and that alone can make a big difference in the quality and
quantity of their lives. Mega C plus is suppose to be very good for
boosting and even reversing the positive status. I spoke with a women who
has 10 cats that as youngsters tested positive, she put all of them on the
Mega C plus and all of them today are negative, ALL of them. She said the
main thing with the Mega C plus is it takes as long to convert them to
negative as they have been positive. So if they have been positive for 1
year, it will take a year to convert them to negative. I used this on
Bailey, knowing converting him was not going to happen he is after all 10
years old and has been psotive that long, but it is a very good immune
system booster also so for that I got it for him. Unfortunetly this
anemia had already taken hold and I had to stop giving it to him because
the treatment for this type of anemia is to suppress his immune system. I
do give it to my other cats who are all negative to keep them healthy and
strong. There is interferon, some poeple have had success with that,
Lysine, COQ-10, Salmon oil, and most importantly a good diet, try to feed
the best cat food you can afford. Foods without alot of chemicals and
preservatives in it. They do cost more initially but in the long run
they will save you money in vet visits.
Keeping these guys may mean that possibly in the future you may be looking
at getting your heart broken as they succomb to this horrible disease, but
for me anyway the love and joy they give you for the time you do have
together is well worth any sadness later. They definately have a
specialness about them!!
