This purely anecdotal report was sent to me by one of the original
joint purchasers of the Orchid >99% pure resveratrol. I thought that
it was remarkable enough to warrant reporting to the group.
Please note that this is *not* any kind of suggestion that anyone new
should take part in the current joint purchase, since that is now
fully subscribed and closed.

Here is the exact wording of the report as received:
----------------------------------
I inherited a 15 year old keeshond dog about a year ago..because a
friend of mine was just accepted and took a job as a Chicago fire
fighter....

He trusted me with his dog Max sincce we used to be roomates and MAx
liked me and I liked Max..my freind the firefighter didn't have time
to take care of him too much anymore...

When I got Max...his eyes were all cloudy white blue with catrarcts I
guess..and he was riddled with arthitis ..we had to carry him up and
down three flights of stairs...he walked real slow and didnt like to
walk more than a block...just preferred to sleep all day....he was on
his last legs....as most dogs dont live past 15 years...(105 years in
dog yeares..)///

well I read in life extension magazine that SODZYME was working
miracles with people with crippling arthitis..so we started giving him
on 4 SODZYme pills a day...this helped alot..cleared up his eyes quite
a bit.. but just brought him to the point of being borderline between
invalid dog and regular old dog...this has been going on for about 4
months at the time I got my resveratrol....

Once we got the resveratrol l..we have been giving him a 1/4 teaspoon
of of it per night....he has slept a lot more and we can tell he is
dreaming alot with his leg movements while sleeping...

It has been about 2 or 3 months ON THE RESVERATROL now...and the
results are simply amazing....he now goes up and down the stairs on
his own...still a little shaky coming down...his eyes are gettign even
more clear...

and now when he gets to the street he likes to run all over the
place....he likes now to play with our keeshond who is only 2 years
old....in fact he starts running down the block and we have to run
after him to tell him to stop...long distances!!!

We told the firefighter about his new state and he said he hasn't run
like that in 5 years!!!...

SO if this translates to humans....I think nursing home bound patients
could really benefit from high dose resveratrol...it truly seems to be
a miracle..and it is no placebo effect or wishful thinking..as people
that knew the old max and see him now are quite amazed....and we
havent mentioned anything to them about the reveratrol.....

just thought you'd like to know!!!!!

thanks for getting us the reveratrol.....Max really appreciates it!!!
-------------------------------------

I followed up by asking the dog's weight and the approximately dosage
that was being given to him and received the following reply.
--------------------------------------
THE DOG WEIGHS ABOUT 40 LBS... AND THERE ARE TWO DOSES ACTUALLY...MY
GIRLFRIEND 5 DAYS A WEEK JUST LICKS THE TIP OF HER FINGER STICKS IT IN
THE BAG AND THEN RUBS IT UNDER HIS LIP...THIS GOES on 5 DAYS A
WEEK...THEN WHEN HE COMES TO MY HOUSE i GIVE HIM MAYBE 1/8 TO 1/4
TEASPOON....i STILL DONT HAVE MY SCALE...SO i LOOKED AT A 50 GRAM PACK
AND KEPT VISUALLY DIVIDING IT IN 1/2,,,,50> 25 >12.5>6.25..SO AN 1/8TH
OF THE BAG WEIGHS 6.25 GRAMS...A 16TH 3.125, AND A 32ND 1.56....IT
LOOKS TO ME THAT A FULL TEASPOON IS LESS THAN THE 1.56 SO i GUESS 1
TEASPOON FLAT...IS ABOUT A GRAM....SO HE'S PROBAVLY GETTING 80 MG 5
DAYS A WEEK AND THEN ABOUT 200 MG TWICE A WEEK ON WEEKENDS...once I
get a scale ill try to get more accurate..
