Re: Acemanan availability (was need prayers for my baby Dharma again pleease!!)

[ETrent]

It's definitely worth checking into.  I've been googling here - the scientific name of this product is acetylated mannans.  The injectable form of it is manufactured and marketed by Carrington Laboratories as Acemannan Immunostimulant ™ .  Veterinary Products Laboratories sells the product for veterinary application  but I'm wondering if it is available outside this milieux.  I personally would like to talk directly to the person who made the decision to withhold it from the market and hear their justification and why it is taking such an extraordinary amount of time.  Their claim was that they were auditing it -- but I would also like to know their definition of audit.   I find it odd that wound dressings containing acemannan in gel form are still available.   elizabeth     In a message dated 10/25/2006 9:34:34 P.M.
