I love YT because it saved Brooke's life! I joined in July of 07 and my Brooke had just been diagnosed with GME, Granulomatous Meningioencephalitis, a rare immune related brain disease that is fatal. I started my first post by asking if anyone else had experience with this disease. Divapup posted a reply asking if I had been to the GMEDogs Yahoo group, and I had never even heard of such a thing and no internet search had ever come up for it. I joined that group and learned about a neurologist in Boston that had a 90% success rate in curing GME, I contacted him right away and the rest is history. Brooke, so far, knock on wood, is in remission and she has a 60-70% chance of never having a GME relapse in the future! I it hadn't been for this group, I would have never found out about Dr. Sisson and Brooke would have died!! I will be forever grateful!
