Ohio State University had an absolutely brilliant research-teaching vet neurologist on staff-Dr Podell. Dr Podells' basic and published research into stopping canine seizures by use of rectal valium is the reason my dog, alex the wonder dog is alive today. without that research, alex would have been put to sleep almost 8 years ago, his seizures, when they start are almost uncontrollable, with the rectal valium, the seizures stop. by using this protocol, my vet and the pharmacist has the authority to give me the script to get a legally controlled substance.( i had the great pleasure of telling Dr Podell to his face thank you, without you, alex, my sweet dog, would be gone.still makes me teary to think about that day. his work saved alexs' life ). PETA decided that his other research project was inhumane. They hounded OSU to fire him, didn't work there, but he quit when the PETA people showed up at his kids' school, he left columbus, left the state and is in private practice now, hopefully saving one dog at a time, instead of thousands. the valium protocol has been adapted for human seizure control, and the research project that Dr Podell was working on when he was hounded? tramission of HIV with the usage of crystal meth..ever hear of crystal meth? the virus' that infect HIV appear to be stronger while using that drug, that work might have been useful in limiting a new outbreak of medication resistant HIV, but who knows? the research into it isn't being done now, SO HUMANS ARE DYING BECAUSE OF THOSE PETA MORONS STOPPING MEDICAL RESEARCH (i'll stop shouting now) . those people cost society dearly in their stupid behavior.
i don't hate PETA, but they cost us, and they cost us dearly.
