This message is from: Mark and Ann Restad <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I too am very thankful for the sound veterinary information you share with us! Where we live in Alaska, we don't have as much help as we would like, so thanks. Re: red raspberry leaf, I can say that my experience with it as a midwife mirrors that on the horse owners using it. We use it during pregnancy to decrease bleeding, tone the uterus etc. It also makes human mothers hold on to their babies a good long while; in fact we recommend to stop it a few weeks before the due date in order to decrease liklihood of going overdue. I myself am taking it in a supplement along with alfalfa to deal with my pregnancy and placenta previa. Keep up the good work, everyone Ann R
