Thanks for your comment. I can guarantee you that doctors are not giving up their seat at the table. They are weighing in heavily. For me, a key feature of any new system has to be the ability to adapt as we start to figure out what works and what doesn't.

Sounds like a great trip, Val. I'm envious. I will confess that I had never heard of javelinas OR peccaries. By the way, I wandered out to your blog about massages from 2007 and thought it was hilarious.

Val,
Great story. Reminds me of the time my Maltese didn't look so good to me. I counted her breaths per minute and was alarmed to find it was about 60 - about 5 times normal breaths per minute for humans. I called the vet and was gently informed that dogs aren't humans and that they do a little something called "panting." Oh, yeah. Forgot about that. My dog was fine.
