Re: [Felvtalk] Acemannan

2010-06-15 Thread gary 
Acemannan is now made by Veterinary Products Laboratories  www.vpl.com and I 
don't see any indication of it not being available.  There was a price jump 
end of last year, how much did you pay for it?  The VPL site had the name of 
a vet who was involved in the original trials as their technical 
representative, but I don't see anyone listed for that product now.  I think 
my vet may still have his name and number, but they are closed on Wed., I 
will check on Thur.


When I used it, the protocol was one shot a week for six weeks (given IP) 
and then one shot a month that can be given sub-q.  Also, the vet for VPL 
told me that you can keep the mixed Acemannan for up to a week in the fridge 
and freeze it for up to a month, even though the instructions say you have 
to use it in 4 hours.

Subject: [Felvtalk] Acemannan

My 8 year old cat had Feline Leukemia at age 1 1/2.  We found out about 
Acemannan by doing research online.  It worked beautifully and he was free 
of Leukemia after one year, at which time we stopped the Acemannan.  He 
was normal until last Dec when his bone marrow went haywire and stopped 
producing platelets, white and red blood cells.  Since then we've had him 
on prednisone, and other meds.  We went back to Acemannan and he has just 
had his fifth injection (he gets one injection every week for six weeks).


I need to know what to do after his sixth injection.  Does anyone know? 
The lab went bankrupt; my vet can still get it from his supplier, but we 
have no way to call the manufacturer to find out what is next after the 
sixth injection.  Last time, we went to once a month injections, but 
because this is not exactly Feline Leukemia, but caused by his Feline 
Leukemia, it might be a different situation.


Thanks for any suggestions.

Hello Mattia,

I'm checking with my source to see if I can arrange to have it shipped directly 
to you.  This would probably be the fastest approach.  If that won't work, I do 
have an extra bottle I could send to you.  If you could forward your address, 
I'll get this going as soon as possible.  Either way, I'll get some on the way 
within 24 hours of receiving your address.  

Just out of curiosity, what is the disease your cat is suffering from?

gary, if you check in the archives, you'll find a fair amount of info on
acemannen--there was a real problem for awhile with its availability, but
that was resolved a couple of years ago. the only person i know personally
used it for her cat with an injection-site sarcoma, not FeLV.

for those of you who might think i am a shill for allopathic medicine, i
would use ace in a second if i had a cat for whom it was indicated--but
that's because there IS enough research and empirical evidence.

I forgot the link

http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/fiv-healthscience/

there are several FIV groups. You will need a intro to the moderator Joel.
Just explain your needs and you have an FELV cat. There are other members
from this group on that list.
