Also leeches are making a comeback, especially when there is excessive bruising from plastic surgery.

Hi Brig.

I agree with you entirely. I get very down when the light levels are low during winter, and the only thing that relieves that is waking up to the white light of a fall of snow!

I'm a miserable being otherwise!

I'm happiest in spring and summer. Autumn reminds me that winter is near, and makes me want to hibernate. Perhaps in a previous life I was a bear!

Cheers, Midori

its frustrating that people have to go through this alone ......alll animals are hard wired to respond to sunlight and seasons.....how to birds know when to mate and when to nest...elk go into rut in the fall based on sunlight not grass lenght, mares go into season in the spring based on sunlight levels....all animal life onthis planet is in synch with sunlight and other natural indicators....same with plants.....this is medical.....plants open and shut with sunlght....along comes humans who think they are what? differnt? yur kidding me righ that the medical community that looks down its noses at us vets as stupid struggles to understand 101? sorry to be sarcastic....is this candid camera? this is medical....

we synchrnize mares on farms by adusting the light lenght in the winter to simualte spring and they are bred earlier.....

hello medical doctors that think were soo stupid?

recalibrate the lilgtht lengths and try adjstin the light patterns

a message and sympathy for the suffers of this affliction from the retard club veternianrians...u know we just work with " animals"

like people aren t primate...no offense doctors.....give me a break

when the covid came out the first thing i would have tried was anti inflamartores as we modify the immune response as vets - of course no one listens to us retards.....now down the line groups of doctors are saying.....hey.....did u try antimrflam first? its gauling that we always have to play stupid to the medical communty and well were the animal pepole ....treated exactly like most women know very well....and many nurses just ask dolphin....

did u try 101 first before the Mayo Clinic? (meaning wholistic approach ..adjust the nutrition and and and which suports the host and lets their system fight off whatever...and is cheaper and necessary anyway before all kinds of meds with side effects .....first do no harm...101 but few listen to nurses and common sense- were the retards. )

in reply to

im advocating for the st judes approach which anyone can do...holistic med first....which i presume most here know........and fundamenal nursing advocating for holistic med first v poly pharm........including sensible levels of activfity...(avod the word "exercise" too loaded)...just keep moving ...however small ....its still progress...do not htink " i have to exercise"- ......new LC/dolphin/HU slogan

"walking.......is the new old cool" works every

time

low and slow wins every tmie (hare and tortise- let them laugh....see u in the winners tent) the hot rods flame out in two weeks.....low and slow just walk on by and wave..........bye.........and crosses the finish line 9 months later.....walkn tall baby lookin good and taken names.......(works every time)

walkn

is the new

coool man......

who needs grass when ur high on fresh air and life....
