Hi bullterriermom,
The link Hound Dog Mom provided is a REALLY REALLY good article on glandulars. I use Dr. Lee’s protomorphogen / glandulars on my dog that has had kidney disease since birth. She is seven years old, unmedicated besides glandulars and whole food vitamins etc. Dr. Lee’s company is called Standard Process. Excellent products.
However, some refer to anything outside of allopathic or western medicine as quackery etc. So I wanted to provide you with data supported by allopathic medicine. It is referred to as “oral tolerization”. They have studied it as a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0889857X05700247
As well as in helping the body not reject transplanted organs – specifically the liver http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10706554 Autoimmune heart disease (unfortunately the paper isn’t pulling up for me today but the link is here and may work for you or tomorrow?) http://lib.bioinfo.pl/paper:19353248 A round about way to see the data is here http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:Dlj-FH1tQ8YJ:lib.bioinfo.pl/paper:19353248+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us
And, the New York Times has a nice article on oral tolerization called “Hair of the Dog” http://www.nytimes.com/1994/10/18/science/hair-of-dog-tried-as-cure-for-autoimmune-disease.html?pagewanted=all&src=pm
