thank you *so* much for the ethusiastic support! *grins* ... wow, i could go off on a big long tangent about my recently-found belief in 'new age' stuff ... like, why do they call it 'new age' when the knowledge is 100's if not 1000's of years old?? "fads" just don't last that long ... ANYway ...

i *did* start keeping records again the day i took him off the old stuff + started him on the new stuff ... it's easier to see trends (good or bad)if they're written down, they're just more obvious ...

LMAO ... you should see the 'charts' from last fall/winter!!! i've got every cc of everything that went into him recorded, every calorie calculated cuz he was on a liquid diet, every mood change, color change, if he peed/pooped + how much + what consistency the poop was + the urates were ... muscle strength + lack thereof ... *whew* ... LOL ... i wish i'd kept up the record keeping the last few months, but he was feelin' so much better + i just slacked off ... i kept thinkin' that i should be recording when he went back on his meds but call it denial, i just didn't ...

but i *am* back in the record keeping mode!
any suggestions on what else to keep track of?
i've got individual meds, vitamins, how well he ate breakfast + dinner ... poop (amt + consistency) ... weight ... a comments line for misc. stuff like about the lesions, shedding (or not), color, attitude ... anything else you can think of that'd be good to keep track of???

the woman who told me about this treatment plan says it brought her ig back from 4.5 pounds + near death to his healthy 11+ pound happy self ... she's also in the process of treating another ig with non-renal probs but life-threatening nontheless, and last i heard she's seeing positive progress with him too ... i don't know for sure where she came up with it, but i am quite impressed so far!

hmmmm ... as far as posting iZ's records? maybe if this has a positive, happy ending ... part of me is really scared + not a little horrified to be experimenting on iZ like this ... but then, all medicine is pretty much a best guess grand experiment isn't it? well, *i* think so ... i work with doctors, i *know* they're not gods! *grin*

thanx again for the support! (+ yes, you make total sense!)

Bon. + iZ
