Hi Amani. Thanks for the article. Sounds promising.

Re: [Felvtalk] Doxy
Marcia, thanks for both suggestions. Yes, L-Form Bacteriaseems to be what they were describing. Some round, others blown-up, and some hairy. "The Marshall Plan" might be viable, if only I could find a clear-cut explanation of it. I'm guessing it's a thorough approach using all fresh food, no glutens, etc. I'm interested in colliodal silver, although it sounds good in the petri-dish, I'm not so sure it'd be good for a cat. Anyone else using it? What's the dosage? Ah - and the bird stuff? Awesome. They also have sulfas and all forms of antibiotics available, it's just they're "for the birds". *chuckle* I still have some fish-erythro that I purchased over a year ago, before they started yanking them off the pet store walls. It seems too many people figured it out. Glad they haven't gotten wind of the bird stuff. I'm going to stock up. Sulfa powder is exceptional for little scrapes that kitties get on legs and paws, and it's good for humans, too. Saved my hand after I was bitten by a german shepherd pup. Thank you for your incredible kindness!
