Guest guest Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 Yes this is true, and the excuse a representative of the medical profession against using dogs tosniff out cancert was that it was not appropriate to use dogs in the clinic, and a dog might have an off day. A perfect example of where our society is at. Rather than assist the patients I suppose they need to find a patentable machine so that some money can be made out of it. After all it is ok to squeeze women's breasts in a trap door and subject them to multiple x-rays in the name of medicine, with the risk that a laboratory technician might have an off day in analysing an x-ray, but certainly not use sniffer dogs. Despite the fact dogs are ace at sniffing out narcotics, added to which if dogs have off days, why do we trust guide dogs to assist the blind through traffic.. I would say that this attitude is not science, just prejudice. Wed, 22 Mar 2006 23:17:33 -0000 " leabun1 " <leabun1 Re: The place of research in TCM (an idea) >Just to be tangential, as usual.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 I was reading that they also have some success with cats being able to " sniff out " cancer, too. Now a cat having an off day I can see would be a problem.....but a dog?
