A four-colour illustrated monograph that provides a matter-of-fact presentation on animals and medical research.

  • http://www.chrcrm.org/en/cats-and-research Cats and Research | Canadians for Health Research | Les Canadiens pour la recherche medicale - Although cats represent less than 1 percent of the animals used in biomedical research each year, their contributions to various fields of medicine are numerous.  What follows are some examples of past medical advances and current research using cats.   ACQUIRED IMMUNE DEFICIENCY SYNDROME (AIDS)
  • http://www.chrcrm.org/en/dogs-and-research Dogs and Research | Canadians for Health Research | Les Canadiens pour la recherche medicale - Although dogs represent less than 1 percent of the animals used in biomedical research each year, their contributions to various fields of medicine are numerous.  What follows are some examples of recent and ongoing research using dogs. HEART AND LUNGS Because their cardiovascular and respiratory systems resemble those of a human being, dogs have been instrumental to our current understanding of the functions and diseases of these organs.
  • http://www.chrcrm.org/en/mice-and-research Mice and Research | Canadians for Health Research | Les Canadiens pour la recherche medicale - Along with rats and other rodents, mice make up the majority of animals used for medical research.  Their small size, low cost and ease in handling make them ideal for laboratory experiments.  In addition, scientists can breed different strains of mice with natural genetic deficiencies to achieve models of human diseases.  The following are fields of medicine and research in which the use of mice has advanced understanding and show potential for cures. CANCER
  • http://www.chrcrm.org/en/primates-and-research Primates and Research | Canadians for Health Research | Les Canadiens pour la recherche medicale - Primates represent only about 1/3 of 1 percent of animals used in research. But during the last half century, research using primates has led to major medical breathroughs, most notably in the treatment of polio and Rh disease. Vaccines have reducing the cases of polio in the U.S. from 58,000 to one or two a year at present, and the development of RH immunoglobin has reduced cases of RH disease in babies to fewer than 16 in every 10,000. AIDS
  • http://www.chrcrm.org/en/rabbits-and-research Rabbits and Research | Canadians for Health Research | Les Canadiens pour la recherche medicale - The similarity between the physiology of rabbits and humans makes the rabbit a good model for the research of human disease. The following are examples of research in which the use of rabbits has benefited humankind. IMMUNE SYSTEM The ability to produce tumours in rabbits makes them useful models to study chemo/immunotherapy as well as immunoprevention of certain cancers.1 Rabbits have been used in the production of antibodies for a broad range of immunological studies. CHOLESTEROL STUDIES
  • http://www.chrcrm.org/en/rats-and-research Rats and Research | Canadians for Health Research | Les Canadiens pour la recherche medicale - Along with mice and other rodents, rats make up more than 90 percent of animals used for medical research. Because humans and rats are both mammals, they share many similarities in structure and function. In addition, their small sizes, low cost, ease in handling, and ability to breed in captivity make rats ideal for laboratory experiments. What follows are examples of biomedical research using rats. CANCER Rats have been used in various cancer studies because certain strains can develop cancer spontaneously, as well as by viral and chemical induction.
  • http://www.chrcrm.org/en/other-animals-and-research Other Animals and Research | Canadians for Health Research | Les Canadiens pour la recherche medicale - Although most research is done on rats and mice, some human biological and psychological characteristics are most closely resembled in other animals. PIGS have been instrumental in studying the healing process of burn victims. Pig skin serves as a temporary bandage that protects patients from infection and allows human skin to gereate.1

  • http://www.chrcrm.org/en/road-discovery Road to Discovery | Canadians for Health Research | Les Canadiens pour la recherche medicale - In the beginning.... There was a time in history when every ache and pain we felt was attributed to the gods. When the crops failed, a volcano erupted, the floods or the droughts came, or the locusts took over the land, it was always the gods at work again. They were mad about something. Some people felt there was nothing they could do about it, while some others, as history shows us, were willing to go to terrible lengths – even sacrificing other humans – in hopes of getting back in the gods’ favour.

  • DanKristen - Not bad for what it is.

    I hate "fat burners". But this stuff does something interesting. You notice the energy, you notice the lack of appetite, you notice the sweat and heat you generate as well.

  • Hualalai - Weak plastic means inevitable failure

    It's not if, but when, the plastic brackets that connect the shield to the housing will break. This could be a 5 star product if the plastic bracket that mates the curved, rigid section to the textile shield was made with a stronger plastic. The weak plastic used in the bracket WILL break during normal use because the retractive force on the shield is more than the plastic can bear.

  • M. Shanafelt - Another Bad Quicken Version

    Quicken is the only product that I can anticipate a worse product every time I'm forced to update. 2011 follows the pattern nicely. After being forced to update from Quicken 2008 in order to continue receiving downloaded credit card transactions, I began the process of migrating my 15+ years of financial data into the new version. For some reason, my credit card balance was about $2,400 off after the import. I had to go back and make adjustment entries in several accounts to make sure they were current. I also don't like that they changed the home screen - in Quicken 2008 I had several graphs in small rectangles on the main screen. When I did the migration, it set all of the graphs to be the full width of the screen and one on top of another, so now I have to scroll down to see all of them. I haven't seen any new features of Quicken 2011 that I'd actually find useful. I wish Intuit would just let us pay a yearly fee of $15 or so and let us keep the ability to download transactions without these needless upgrades every 3 years.

  • Kelly Conway - Green option

    Works well with a fogger. Not odorous or oily. Unfortunate when water issues hit but good to have on hand.

  • Jim D. - Customer service is lacking

    Very disappointed in this company that has such a great product. Due to a fraud alert by my bank, they issued new cards. Since I was on auto pay the charges for my reoccuring order were denied. Instead of Juice Plus contacting me to fix the issue , a collections agency did demanding I pay the charges though a very stern phone call ( but that is their job since, since obviously Juice Plus thinks I’m a deadbeat ) then the colllections letter was sent. I immmediately paid the debt. The collections agency seemed to be able to contact me right off the bat, even after hours through phone and mail from the information they received from Juice plus. Juice plus couldn't seem to get the information off my original order to contact me at all. Juice Plus seemed to find my address and send me product each and every time, yet they couldn’t seem to send a letter regarding my credit card number being denied. Nope, just sent me to collections. This is not the type of company I can support. Food (Juice) for thought.
