Acemanan availability (was need prayers for my baby Dharma again pleease!!)
You know, I was just thinking that perhaps there might be a way to get special dispensations the way we do for feline interferon. Or, perhaps it's sold in a different country that we could order from. Has anyone looked in to it's availability somewhere besides the US? Has anyone contacted the company that distributes it or produces it to find out? Don't get me started on how "disturbing" it is to be "protected" by our government agencies. Nina [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It is disturbing to me that the Acemanan is still being withheld from the market. I'm trying to remember if it was the FDA or dept. of agriculture that was doing that. This has been going on way too long and I wish there was someone I could contact about it.

Re: Acemanan availability (was need prayers for my baby Dharma again pleease!!)
It's definitely worth checking into. I've been googling here - the scientific name of this product is acetylated mannans. The injectable form of it is manufactured and marketed by Carrington Laboratories as Acemannan Immunostimulant ™ . Veterinary Products Laboratories sells the product for veterinary application but I'm wondering if it is available outside this milieux. I personally would like to talk directly to the person who made the decision to withhold it from the market and hear their justification and why it is taking such an extraordinary amount of time. Their claim was that they were auditing it -- but I would also like to know their definition of audit. I find it odd that wound dressings containing acemannan in gel form are still available. elizabeth In a message dated 10/25/2006 9:34:34 P.M.

This might be a guy to talk to at Carrington Laboratories: Carlton E. Turner, Chief Executive Officer(972) 518-1300 According to this article - Carrington is the only manufacturer in the world...at least the raw materials... News from Carrington Laboratories Makes me wonder if there is a way to process one of these powdered forms to come up with the injectable formula. It isn't as though we would be selling it under another trade name. I'm going to be slammed at work tomorrow but if I do get a chance - I will call this man. elizabeth In a message dated 10/25/2006 9:52:52 P.M.

Isn't acemannan the same as immunoregulin? You can't get it now? tNina <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: You know, I was just thinking that perhaps there might be a way to get special dispensations the way we do for feline interferon.

Re: Acemanan availability (was need prayers for my baby Dharma again pleease!!)
two different drugs and there was never a problem getting I-R. The thing that is hard to get is feline interferon (virbagen omega), which has to come with special dispensation from the FDA from overseas (though Hideyo has gotten around it). Acemannan was off the market a short while to be audited, but is apparently available again. Michelle In a message dated 11/7/2006 8:40:15 A.M.

It's very different from immunoregulin. It's available for sale again now. elizabeth *Save the earth.
