Subject: Devil's Club Supreme good results!
OK, I just have to add my 2 cents about Devil's Club Supreme.
I realize every ferret will react differently to this and all
other herbs and or meds. But my experience is this. My boy was
diagnosed with insulinoma at age 3 1/2. I, nor my (old) vet
knew next to nothing about it till I researched it here and
other websites. We did surgery,( with a more ferret
knowledgeable vet) removing tumors and about 50% of the
pancreas. We did fasting B/G tests every month. 8 months
later, his B/G was down to 59. Started Pred & Proglycem.3
months later he was on the highest dosage of both. Then I
heard about Devil's Club Supreme. I gave it every 12 hours
religiously( in addition to meds). After 5 weeks, increased
Devil's Club to 3 times daily. Within 3 weeks later, his B/G
went from 37 to 60, then up to 70 ,5 weeks later. (no seizures
at all thank goodness before or after Devil's Club). His hind
end was becoming quite weak again(now 1 year later after 1 st
surgery) , so we went in again and removed another tumor, and
cryoed the right adrenal.1 week before his second surgery, we
did pre-op blood tests, and checked B/G it was 70. The day of
the surgery I did not give Devil's Club, fearing it might
interfere with anesthetic. His B/G had dropped to 52. He has
been doing great since surgery this May, and I still give him
Devil's Club 2 times a day. I have his B/G tested every 4-5
weeks, it has been stabilized to the low 80's. With a little
luck, lots of love, good nutrition, and Devil's Club Supreme,
I pray he will live to be a very old man. So, I say, it's
worth a try, but it may take a few weeks to kick in. It works
great for us, use your own judgement. Happy endings, form
