Hi Barb: Thanks for your help, will copy and paste the important parts so I don't forget anything.
<< I get the feeling you and your husband have succummed somwhat to a sense of helplessness and not a little despair. You only sound like you are clinging to hope by a slender thread and seem to have almost really given up. Guess what? You are not old. The face of aging in this country is changing. Today is the first day of the rest of your lives which can be longer than your parents and grandparents ever conceived of as being possible. >> Naw, we haven't given up, and don't feel hopeless. Infact we have a lot of hope, not only in the options available, but in being able to resolve whatever is going on, not only for ourselves, but for the others around us. Sometimes I am a little slow, and think that results from the lack of physical energy, which can sure slow the brain down too. "Also regarding dental problems, I have been told by people in the alternative field that supposedly there can be deep pockets of infection that resist detection. A good biological dentists can do x-rays that can usually pick up these sneaky hidden infections." No joke. We have both just done the dentist thing, and the bad teeth I had, were removed. Hubby had a very extensive evaluation too and we were not able to find anything in his mouth, that could indicate a problem. "Were I you I would get on coQ10 immediately, shove it down my husbands throat, and the dogs. " We want a replacement for the Atenolol as we pull him off it, as there can be some real nasty side effects with abrupt withdrawal of this drug. The coenxyme q10 is a great option and we will be doing this shortly. Research indicates few problems with this and the trials indicate some real advantages (posted on something else here). We have done some price comparisons locally, and will go tomorrow to get some (its 110 heat index today and heat and humidity hate us). "But I don’t think Terriers are more prone to heart problems than other breeds. That suggest some infective agent. I would also add whole cloves of garlic to his food, maybe stuffed inside of a hamburger pattie." They have been getting CS in their water now for about 3 weeks, and have been given large amounts of garlic since this spring. We also found out mosquitos and fleas HATE a dog that smells like a giant garlic clove and don't even come close. My guess is also an infective agent, one not easily detectable by standard blood work (have concerns about mycoplasmal infections but no one tests locally - and its very expensive). Since being on the CS Bud (the dog) is retaining a lot less water, and is breathing easier. He also gets vitamins (vita-sol from the Home and Farm designed for electrolyte balance). We also eat cayenne pepper on a LOT of stuff, and our dogs do not eat store dog food, never have. They eat rice (home cooked) and table food, but do eat some commercial dog biscuits. Bud curiously loves vegetables and fruit. We do not eat a lot of meat. We have always thought we were living pretty healthy, and have continued to do so inspite of the health problems. We were in GOOD health, before whatever-it-is hit us. My guess is that it has to be viral or bacterial, because of our sick dog, and other pets in the area who have become sick with some identical symptoms. I am not sure if it is a mutation or something previously undiagnosed. Those affected seem to be in clustered areas. Lyme disease is also a possibility in this area. I would like to find a few good scientists (not necessarily doctors) in the area, who can examine blood microscopically, from multiple sources, to get an accurate scientific assessment of what is going on. Am not particularly interested in the political conspiracy disease stuff, but prefer a scientific approach.
