First, this is a personal opinion and a personal experience for me. My mother has liver cancer diagnosed in 2007. We did the usual protocols prescribed by her oncologist and she did a year of chemo. But instead of the cancer going...

chemo

shantiquarian You have to equate the usefullness of the treatment to the stage at which the cancer is discovered. I have friend who never had chemo and are 10 yr survivors, one that wasn't diagnosed till the autopsy, and many more in between that were treated with either/or...

shantiquarian Your kitty is just amusing herself, cats are natural hunters. We had a friend that took a kitten from us and it got huge eating crickets. And you may think they are horrid but there are countries that find creapy crawlies standard nutrition.

I like my foods fresh, not frozen. Freezing does change the flavor or texture. I know they are more convenient, but is it worth the cost, flavor or the nutritional value? Of course that is more easy to buy food for one week or...

shantiquarian l would rather have fresh but there are times when a frozen backup comes in handy and nothing but meat lives that long in my freezer.

shantiquarian I have been clipping cat claws for years because it is more humane than declawing. I even do the outside cats that want to be touched and let in occasionally. I usually only do the front but if it is a cat prone to getting in to trouble with the back ones than...

shantiquarian 31 is a long life for a horse. Mine was 24 when he had to go. He didn't go easy either. His heart was strong but the rest of his body was failing. So much so that the neighbors called animal control so rather than fight I called the vet and the excavator. What...

shantiquarian If you use it several times a day this is doable but if you don't butter can go bad and get mold. The butter compartment in your fridge door is meant to keep your butter safe but not as cold as the general compartment.
