Yes doody, we saw the black squirrels in S.C. Like you, we only have the brown ones in IN. Our squirrels are still enjoying the feeder your dad made for me.

And reyn, you have hidden yourself in the squirrel thread! Come out!

I have coped and pasted ~pansy~'s post from the Pet forum..Thanks my friend.

Quote ~pansy~ "I'll give you a quick history...

July 2001 dx'd with breast cancer ~ 2 surgeries ~ A/C chemo ~ 47 rounds radiaiton

February 2005 ~ I started taking flaxseed oil & cottage cheese (it's the sulfrated protein in the cottage cheese that is beneficial) because I wanted to be an encouragement to my *then* 12 yo son who I insisted take it to lower his cholesterol, triglycerides & lipoprotein (a) numbers to avoid medications for heart disease and diabetes (which it did, it lowered his cholesterol and triglycerides by 100+ and his lipoprotein (a) by 17 in just 2 months ~ this child's geneticist now takes fso and cc daily!)

March 2005 ~ had my first bone scan ~ scan revealed a large lytic lesion (active cancer eating away the bone) on T10, a birth defect (missing wedge of bone) on T11, something on L1-S5 (radiologists argued whether it was a blastic lesion or osteoarthritis) and HUNDREDS of areas on legs, ribs and skull where new bone growth was occurring in what appeared to be lytic lesions healing.

They could not figure out why the cancer was healing without medical treatment. I knew the answer. The only thing I was doing different was taking the flaxseed oil/sulfrated protein.

I asked for my prognosis (I have to know, that's just me). They gave me 2 - 3 months to live withOUT chemo and radiation and 5 - 6 months to live WITH chemo and radiation. They told me that once the cancer metastaticizes to the bones, there is no medical treatment available to preserve life, the only thing they can do is buy me time with chemo/radiation. And that time is short. Just a few extra months.

I refused chemo. Been there done that and it's not for me. For my husband's sake, I did accept 10 rounds of radiation on T10 and L1-S5. I only did this to bring some type of peace of mind for him. Poor guy fell apart when I refused chemo.

So, here we are 3 YEARS later, and I have just received my recent bone scan and CTscan reports. I am cancer free and in addition, that birth defect on T11 no longer exists. New bone has grown where none was at birth. There is no evidence of ever having lesions on my legs, ribs and skull. There is evidence of radiation on T10 and L1-S5.

In March 2005, when I found out the cancer had metastaticized, I increased the amount of flaxseed oil and cottage cheese I was taking. I went from 2 tablespoons fso and 1/4 cup cc once per day to 3 times per day. I did that for a year. Now I'm back to once per day." unquote
