Suja,
I really don't want to read through the posts, much less bring forward
the ones about Franklin, when he was being treated.
I seem to recall you mentioning Cushing's and Khan. I believe that
you did not have a diagnosis and that you were giving him flax seed oil
and melatonin.
Would you please give me some more information on why you have decided
to give him the above supplements.
I believe you also mentioned a new med for Cushing's that is less
toxic?
I am not being lazy. I just do not want to read through that thread
again about Franklin.
I believe Buck has Cushing's. He has not been diagnosed. (15 yr old
Lab)
Thanks for any info you have to share.

Yeah. Reality IS pretty PAINFUL for sensitive dog lover
folks like you an Janet an Racetrack Sally an Matty aka
Rocky an Handsome Gentleman Jack Morrison <{}: ~ ) >

PERHAPS THAT'S HOWE COME Jack won't even admit to
his REAL NAME or acknowledge his kennel name? Ask
him, he'll DENY that he's Tommy Sorenson of Sorenson's
Retriever Puppy Mill and Shock Collar Sales or even
that he's his former alterego: DOGMAN <{}: ~ ( >

Yeah. Khan's been DEATHLY ILL for most of his life.

Yeah. It can be difficult to DIEagnose stress induced
auto immune DIS-EASES a.k.a. The Puppy Wizard's Syndrome,
when the symptoms keep changing.

Do you think it's WIZE to ask someWON who GOT THE SAME
PROBLEM you're askin abHOWET and CAN'T CURE IT, Judith?

BWEEEEAAAHAAAHAAAHAAA!~!~!

Of curse not!

Yeah? Oh, you mean on accHOWENTA you're the SENSITIVE
sort like your PALS. Then HOWE COME you don't mind
watchin cesar millan "z dog wheeesperer" jerkin an
chokin an shockin dogs like your PALS do, Judith?

HOWE COME you DON'T MIND watchin your daughter jerk
an choke her own DEAD DOG Larson till his trachea
collapsed and needed tie back surgery an then MURDERIN
him a couple months later on accHOWENTA IT DIDN'T WORK?

> I believe Buck has Cushing's.

Naaaah? Cushing's is a STRESS INDUCED AUTO-IMMUNE
DIS-EASE. You don't STRESS your dogs nodoGdameneD
more than do Janet or Suja or Matty or Jack or Sally or Malinda
or Shelly or Tiny Dancer or Filly or Pfoley or Nick or Diddy, DO
YOU, Judith?

Cushing's syndrome is a disorder of the adrenal glands
leading to excess cortisol secretion. Cortisol is the STRESS
HORMONE, Judith.

This means that there is too much cortisol hormone in the blood.
It can be caused by an adrenal gland failure. The ADRENAL
glands are stimulated EVERY TIME Buck looks at your other
dogs and GETS SCARED TO DEATH he's gonna be ATTACKED
and of curse, EVERY TIME you jerk an choke or even just tell
him "NO!", or ignore his cries when he's AFRAID, Judith.

Or it can result from a pituitary tumor or other tumor that secretes
ACTH which in turn stimulates the adrenal glands to over-produce
cortisol.

Of curse, STRESS is INCREASED when we surgically sexually
mutilate a dog and is the reason HOWE COME the pituitary and
adrenal glands GO INSANE and stop workin <{}: ~ ( >

You can tell if your dog got a STRESS INDUCED AUTO-IMMUNE
DIS-EASE a.k.a. The Puppy Wizard's Syndrome simply by lookin
up the SYMPTOMS on my news forums and then lookin at the
posters who's own dogs GOT THE SAME PROBLEMS and cross
referencing THEIR TRAINING METHODS with the poster and
the DIS-EASES their dogs manifest.

Take SEIZURES, for EXXXAMPLE. You'll find most of the dogs
affected with seizures are likeWIZE jerked choked shocked sprayed
in the face with aversives and locked in boxes and ignored when
they cry. They'll all likely have other punishment related behavioral
SYMPTOMS like separation anXXXIHOWESNESS, fear of thunder,
car sickness, spay incontinence, laryngeal paralysis and EATIN
POOP a.k.a. COPROPHAGIA <{}: ~ ( >

> He has not been diagnosed. (15 yr old Lab)

Well then, Judith, don't you think your beloved dog Buck
should at least be treated by the vet insetead of lookin for
MAGICKAL CURES on the net?

YOUR DOG DESERVES THAT, DON'T HE, Judith? Oh,
and while you're there, you might as well get him updated
on his VACCINATIONS. Don't forget to get the newest
kennel cough and Lyme's DIS-EASE vaccines too, Judith.

Autoimmune diseases information:

Disease caused by a malfunctioning immune system leading
to self-attacks or self-stimulation of other body cells.

The word "auto" is the Greek word for self. The immune system
is a complicated network of cells and cell components (called
molecules) that normally work to defend the body and eliminate
infections caused by bacteria, viruses, and other invading microbes.

If a person has an autoimmune disease, the immune system
mistakenly attacks self, targeting the cells, tissues, and
organs of a person's own body. A collection of immune
system cells and molecules at a target site is broadly
referred to as inflammation.

Conditions list: The list of conditions in the Autoimmune
diseases group includes:

Autoimmune thyroiditis (hypothyroidism) is generally found
with the other autoimmune diseases or may occur by itself.
Loss of thyroid hormones is manifested early by behavioral
changes - aggression, hyperactivity, anxiety/fear, compulsive
behaviors, phobic behaviors; allergies and reduced resistance
to bacterial, viral, fungal and protozoal infection - often
manifest as skin and respiratory disorders.

Seizure disorders are also often related to low thyroid
levels. As the disease progresses lethargy, obesity,
alopecia (loss of hair/poor haircoat especially on the
sides) and infertility are more common.

Hypoadrenocorticism (Addison's disease): The adrenal
gland produces hormones which regulate the level of
sodium and potassium (mineralocorticoids) and mediate
the body's response to physiologic and psychologic stress
(corticosteroids).

The former are needed to maintain proper cell function, their
loss is seen as muscle weakness and eventually heart failure
as the heart's muscle cells can no longer produce the nervous
impulses needed for the heart to contract.

Gastrointestinal function is also usually impaired, and
weight loss is frequently seen. Animals are less able to
cope with mild, everyday occurences and hide, refuse to
eat and show other symptoms of stress.

SLE: Known as the great imitator can be hard to diagnose as
it can manifest as a disease of the skin/mucous membranes/
nails, kidney and/ or joints as has already been described.
SLE can also affect the brain producing signs of cognitive
dysfunction. It is also hard to diagnose definitively as not
all dogs with SLE have postive ANA titers.

Cause of Addison's Disease: Failure to produce adequate
levels of cortisol, or adrenal insufficiency, can occur
for different reasons. The problem may be due to a disorder
of the adrenal glands themselves (primary adrenal insufficiency)
or to inadequate secretion of ACTH by the pituitary gland
(secondary adrenal insufficiency).

Addison's disease is a rare endocrine or hormonal disorder
that affects about 1 in 100,000 people. It occurs in all age
groups and afflicts men and women equally. The disease is
characterized by weight loss, muscle weakness, fatigue, low
blood pressure, and sometimes darkening of the skin in both
exposed and nonexposed parts of the body.

Addison's disease occurs when the adrenal glands do not
produce enough of the hormone cortisol and in some cases,
the hormone aldosterone. For this reason, the disease is
sometimes called chronic adrenal insufficiency, or
hypocortisolism.

--------

Cushing's syndrome is a disorder of the adrenal glands
leading to excess cortisol secretion. This means that
there is too much cortisol hormone in the blood. It can
be caused by an adrenal gland failure, or it can result
from a pituitary tumor or other tumor that secretes ACTH
which in turn stimulates the adrenal glands to over-produce
cortisol.

Cushing's syndrome information: Cushing's syndrome is a
hormonal disorder caused by prolonged exposure of the body's
tissues to high levels of the hormone cortisol. Sometimes
called "hypercortisolism," it is relatively rare and most
commonly affects adults aged 20 to 50.

An estimated 10 to 15 of every million people
are affected each year.

Prevalance of Cushing's syndrome: it is relatively rare
and most commonly affects adults aged 20 to 50. Exposure
to too much cortisol can occur for different reasons such
as long-term use of glucocorticoid hormones to treat
inflammatory illnesses; pituitary adenomas (benign tumors
of the pituitary glands) which secrete increased amounts
of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH); ectopic ACTH syndrome
(a condition in which ACTH is produced by various types of
potentially malignant tumors that occur in different parts
of the body); and adrenal tumors (tumors of the adrenal
glands). 2 Sometimes, an abnormality of the adrenal glands,
most often an adrenal tumor, causes Cushing's syndrome.

Cause details for Cushing's syndrome: Cushing's syndrome
occurs when the body's tissues are exposed to excessive
levels of cortisol for long periods of time. Many people
suffer the symptoms of Cushing's syndrome because they
take glucocorticoid hormones such as prednisone for
asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus or other inflammatory
diseases.

Others develop Cushing's syndrome because of overproduction
of cortisol by the body. Normally, the production of cortisol
follows a precise chain of events

First, the hypothalamus, a part of the brain which is about
the size of a small sugar cube, sends corticotropin releasing
hormone (CRH) to the pituitary gland. CRH causes the pituitary
to secrete ACTH (adrenocorticotropin), a hormone that stimulates
the adrenal glands.

When the adrenals, which are located just above the kidneys,
receive the ACTH, they respond by releasing cortisol into the
bloodstream.

Cortisol performs vital tasks in the body. It helps maintain
blood pressure and cardiovascular function, reduces the immune
system's inflammatory response, balances the effects of insulin
in breaking down sugar for energy, and regulates the metabolism
of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. One of cortisol's most
important jobs is to help the body respond to stress. For this
reason, women in their last 3 months of pregnancy and highly
trained athletes normally have high levels of the hormone.

People suffering from depression, alcoholism, malnutrition
and panic disorders also have increased cortisol levels.

When the amount of cortisol in the blood is adequate, the
hypothalamus and pituitary release less CRH and ACTH.
This ensures that the amount of cortisol released by the adrenal
glands is precisely balanced to meet the body's daily needs.

However, if something goes wrong with the adrenals or their
regulating switches in the pituitary gland or the hypothalamus,
cortisol production can go awry. 1

Death Producing Ulcers:
"Emotional Influences On Health & Behavior"
Dr. George Von Hilsheimer

Illness is directly related to depression and lack of
adjustment, particularly to a new environment (Parens,
McConville & Kaplan, 1966).

A WIDE RANGE of PSYCHOSOMATIC or
CORTICOVISCERAL DIS-EASES was surveyed
by Wittkower (1965) to demonstrate the enormous
importance of emotional factors in general health.

Interview findings of emotional material (recently
experienced hopelessness) pryor to biological
examinations correctly identified 11 out of 19 with
cervical cancer, and 25 of 32 who were cancer free
even though psychological tests failed to discriminate
these groups (Schmale & Iker, 1966)

150 lung cancer patients showed significantly
constricted expression of emotions. The had fewer
childhood behavior problems, and lower neuroticism
score than their cancer free controls. Heavy cigarette
smokers who DO NOT INHALE are more apt to have
LUNG CANCER. They, too, show LOWER neuroticism
scores.

Among heavy cigarette smokers poor emotional
expression is as highly related to cancer as urban
residence and is more important than a chronic cough
or an air polluted environment (Kissen, 1966).

A ten year observation of all the women who developed
cancer in an isolated pupulation of 2,550 showed that
they tended to be unstable or sub stable personalities
characterized by melancholy and extraversion,
especially marked with those of an undecided body
build (Hagll, 1966). Personality dynamics effect both
the development of cancer and it's SITE. Cancer
may result from what appears to be a failure to grow--
somatically, behaviorally and psychologically
(Grinker, 1966).

In 109 cases leukemia and lymphoma were associated
with a number of losses or separations and with
feelings of sadness, anxiety, anger or hopelessness.
The PRIMARY FACTOR seems to be the shame and
hopelessness of running out of psychological resources
(Green, 1966). Cervical cancer patients are less
emotionally responsive, more isolative, and less
frequently diagnosed as having clinical neuroses than
cancer free patients. There is NO CLEAR
DIFFERENCE in their FEELINGS and ATTITUDES
toward coitus (Rotkin, Qunk, & Couchman, 1965).

Schmidt (1966) surveyed nearly 100 studies of
behaviorally induced DIS-EASE in animals
CONFIRMING and EXTENDING the DATA on
PEOPLE. Behaviorally induced DIS-EASES tend
to fall into two groups;
(1) Hysteriform problems, which INCLUDE
HYSTERICAL SEIZURES and FORMS of
AGGRESSION as well as collective panic
and epilepsies;

(2) organic modifications, including functional difficulties
and lesions affecting gastro intestinal, cardio vascular,
respiratory, sexual, endocrine, skin, urinary, and neuro
muscular systems.

It is INTERESTING, and SLIGHTLY HORRIFYING,
to note that the ONLY SCIENTIFIC RELEVANCE of
the standard six hour school day that I have been able
to detect in research is that Sawrey and Weisz quite
by accident found that six hours on and six hour off of
"EXECUTIVE BEHAVIOR" in monkeys was the ONLY
TIME STRUCTURE that INDUCED DEATH

Disciple Paulie Sez:

"No One Understands How Wits End Training Really
Works, They Assume It's All Nicey Nicey And don't
Realise It's A Very Disciplined Method That Deals With
Any Situation And The Foundation Is Built On Trust
And Understanding.

I've never forced my dogs to do anything, I tell them
they are good dogs and they seem to follow me, once
I told them they were bad dogs and they ran away from
me, now I only ever tell them they are good dogs and
they always are, always.

Trust your dog, ask it to do your request and say "good
dog" sincerely at the end of the request and I bet you'll
find your dog thinking then responding everytime.
A bit of respect works wonders, the same rule applies
to every aspect of the relationship with your dog.

Obedience and affection are not related, if they were
everyone would have obedient dogs.

I have found giving dogs "payment" in advance i.e. "Sam
sit goodboy" makes the dogs want to respond, after all,
all dogs want to be "good dogs" and if you tell them they
are good then they feel an obligation to obey your request.

Telling Sam he's a good dog AFTER he sit's apart from
been too late is also a gamble because if he doesn't
sit then there's no positive interaction.

First, it is ridiculed.
Second, it is violently opposed.
Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.
