So maybe a smart business decision versus a pure science one? IDK. I do know I have met her 2 or more times and she is exceeding articulate, passionate and bright. And she was the first or one of the first to provide and set up a blood donor bank - vs a vs her rescue greyhounds. This is a charitable organization. We now have 3 such programs in Toronto and all with-in the last 5yrs or so. I contribute my dogs blood annually - well at least my two biggies - as here the protocol is over 40lbs...
And she has earned my respect - for she responded personally to my emails about (2) of my dogs - and reviewed their medical results *free of charge* and sent me her opinion. That is hardly a money grubbing person.
This is one no cost way pet owners can help other pet owners - for who knows when our dogs might need a blood transfusion? |
I agree that Dr. Dodds has done wonderful things, and I do have respect for her. I think that she should have handled Nutriscan in the following order:
(1) Patent, with a good review of the literature that supports her claims.
(2) Peer reviewed article proving that the test works.
(3) THEN release the Nutriscan test to the public.
That said, I HOPE her test really works--it would be great if it did. I'm just a little uneasy that she hasn't had a peer reviewed article yet.
