I have heard similar stories about puppies with Parvo.

I personally gave a friend a bottle of CS for her cat basically diagnosed
as "good as dead" with feline leukemia. The cat was up and around in a few
days and is still very healthy a year or better later.

What I did forget to state with the article posting, it is available in
the Oct. 2002 issue of Cat Fancy magazine.
The CS use was mentioned only in the preamble to the article. The full
article goes on to explain FeLV, diagnosis, prevention, attitudes and
treatments.
As it stated in the article, the experiment ''started in May, could take
eight months or more to yield conclusions, if any.''
I am trying to locate info to contact the Reinstedlers. A couple
searches today came up with a phone number, but not sure it is the correct
Ron Reinstedler. An attempted call was unsuccessful.
Otherwise, I have had no luck in rounding up an email addy for them.
If anyone else has any ideas on how to find an email addy for them,
please, let me know.
I tried the obvious yahoo searches, google searches, etc.

Perhaps if the author of the article responds to my inquiry he will also
have contact info for the couple.

Connie,
Did I miss something? How did the cats on CS do?

Here is the preamble to the Cat Fancy Article:
Positive Outlook, Positive Environment
Veterinariana find cats with the leukemia virus can enjoy life? By
Steve Friess
Most people try to avoid FeLV positive cats. However, Ron and Debbie
Reinstedler will drive hundreds of miles to adopt them.
The Louisville, Ky., couple rescued a pair of stray kittens found by
friends in 2000 and soon discovered both cats contracted FeLV. To protect
their FeLV-negative cats, the couple converted the apartment above their
printing business into an FeLV-positive cat haven. Another friend then told
them of six other FeLV-positive kittens at a shelter in Indiana, and a
colony started to develop.
Today, the Reinstedlers usually host approximately 50 FeLV-positive
cats ranging in age from four months to 12 years old, some believed to have
lived with FeLV for 10 years. On one occasion, they drove to St. Louis to
meet someone from Topeka Kan., who wanted to turn over FeLV-positive cats
and contacted tham via the Internet.
The Reinstedlers turned their veritable cattery into an unofficial
laboratory, splitting the animals into three groups and administering
different treatments to observe any difference in outcomes. All receive
Interferon alpha in the common week-on, week-off schedule, but one set also
takes the antibiotic Baytril and another third take the liquid colloidal
silver, a homeopathic remedy. The experiement, that started in May, could
take eight months or more to yield conclusions, if any.
While the effort is expensive---the Reinstedlers sometimes spend as
much as $650 a month in veterinary bills---they believe it to be worthwhile.
''They all deserve a chance to live,'' says Ron Reinstedler, 58.
''Many people, as soon as they find a cat is FeLV-positive, they want to put
it down.
Why? They can live good lives for six months, a year, 18 months and
sometimes much longer. They deserve the same as everyone else does.''

Report and Dog Fancy.
