Re: homeopathic ACTH and low adrenal function

When my dog was diagnosed with Cushings I didn't consider surgery. From all the research I did, only one type can be operated on (either pituitary or adrenal -- can't remember which), and it is located near a lot of major veins, etc. Also, my dog had hypothyroidism and diabetes, so I didn't feel she was in the condition to handle major surgery. I had my dog on Drenamin PMG (by Standard Process --- bovine adrenal extract plus others). I also gave her many supplements including milk thistle (Cushings very hard on liver), probiotics, digestive enzymes, colostrum, etc. Was the supplement you were talking about similar to the Drenamin? I eventually did put her on a medication when it got really bad. At the time, the medicine had to be imported (to US) from England with vet info to make it through customs. It was a drug that worked better and didn't have the side effects like the other treatments. The vet version was called Vetoryl. I can't remember the name of the drug it contained. I do remember my mom telling me (she works in a pharmacy) that it was also used for humans for something completely different.

The reason I tried the Drenamin was because I also had her on Thytrophin PMG for an underactive thyroid for years. I was able to take her off the thyroid medication, and the Thytrophin actually kept her levels more balanced. Because of seeing the great results, I really do trust Standard Process products. I should probably use them for myself but haven't yet. I tend to do more research for my pets' ailments than for mine. Tweet
