RE: Acemannan... D**N!!!
Paolo, I called the doctor and he called me back (what a nice guy he is) Anyway, he never heard of the side effects but he cannot rule out completely. He said that lots of vets do use this for all different type of cancers. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paolo Sent: Thursday, February 01, 2007 3:17 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: RE: Acemannan...

Re: Acemannan... D**N!!!
Yes, it was Carravet -- the only manufacturer in the world of injectible acemannan. I think they were 10mg doses...I suspect the amount administered depended on the weight of the cat -- perhaps 1mg per lb (that's generally standard) mama kitty was down to about 7lbs then...perhaps it was 4 bottles but the equivalent of five doses for her? On 2/1/07, Paolo [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Acemannan is not registered in Europe, and for the same reason cannot even be shipped here in Italy. The only possibility is Switzerland (not member of the European Union), and from there to Italy. Time is above one month. A box of four doses of 10 mg each costs about 200 Euros, minimum order is three boxes, total about 600 euros. Here we have something strange, Elizabeth, because your boxes contained FIVE doses, not four... were 10 mg doses? Could you please tell me the COMMERCIAL NAME of your injectable Acemannan? Was it CARRAVET? Do you have any factory reference code? My problem is not the 600 euros: it is the 30 day, and it is that it could simply not work. Just to summarize: Elizabeth, Mama Kitty had FeLV/anemia but NOT any tumor, right? Hideyo, direct Acemannan injection into the tumor is reported in literature, but with SARCOMA OR FIBROSARCOMA, not LYMPHOMA (like with my Rompi). Please be more precise about Jojo's tumor, pleasepleasepleasepleaseplease... Paolo (definitely panicking)
Re: Acemannan... D**N!!!
Another possibility could be the Vatican City Pharmacy... the Vatican City in Rome (Holy See) is a State by itself, and its pharmacy can get drugs not registered in Italy... now I remember that lots of people go there to get cancer/AIDS drugs not available on the other side of the square... Hideyo PLEASE! Post here a resume of Jojo's story, but with all the details you have about the tumor, tomorrow morning I am going to talk to another oncologist about Acemannan, but I *must* have precise data to submit to him! Paolo (exhausted/depressed...)

Re: Acemannan... D**N!!!
Paolo, I recommend you join the FIVHealthScience yahoogroup once you get signed up there... they have had several conversations on how to hide drugs in brownies to get them past customs (usually feline interferon omega into the USA, but it would work both ways)... they could probably advise you on ways to illegally import it! http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/fiv-healthscience/ Phaewryn http://ucat.us Adopt a New England FIV+ cat: http://ucat.us/FIVadopt.html Special Needs Cat Links (and feline info library): http://ucat.us/domesticcatlinks.html Declawing Creates SUFFERING, Please don't declaw! http://www.pawproject.com/kona.html
RE: Acemannan... D**N!!!
Paolo -- sorry if I confused you -- JoJo is my dog - He got one injection in his tummy once 4 weeks ago and another one yesterday -- dosage -- I can't remember exactly.. but came with 4 vials and we almost used a whole vial for each use. Again, I can't attribute it to acemannan completely as he was on essiac tonic as well, but three weeks later, the visible portions of tumors seem to have gone away. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paolo Sent: Thursday, February 01, 2007 3:17 PM To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org Subject: RE: Acemannan...
