June 7, 2004   To Kim of JJCJ Distributions:   I raise basenjis in South Georgia. Basenjis are a VERY active dog well into their old age.  They also have a life span of 16 to 18 years with many living even longer.  Because of their active lifestyle and their longevity, many tend to develop arthritis after the age of 8 to 12.  I have two 12 year olds and a 14 year old that have been on KM for the past year.  They have never looked or felt better.   The oldest girl, Sassafras, could not reach the ground to pick up a treat when they went outside.  Now she pushes the other younger dogs out of the way to get as many treats as possible.  She has no trouble scarfing them up off the ground.  Her eyes, coat, and skin have also improved greatly.  She looks and feels like a young dog again.         The male of the bunch, Jack, was a top show dog in his time.  He has sired over 38 AKC Champions and has more on the way.  While I was attending a university athletic event in Alabama, Jack was attacked by a group of younger male basenjis trying to "dethrone the King".  He almost died from a collapsed lung, torn muscles, and numerous bite wounds all over his body.  His vet was amazed he survived the attack at all but worked diligently to put him back together.     While he was recuperating, my friend and basenji breeder, Steve Berry of Escapade Basenjis in Knoxville, Tennessee, sent me a bottle of KM.  He was using it with his old stud dog who had intestinal cancer so close to the stomach that it could not be removed completely.  His prognosis had been disastrous and the vets at the University of Tennessee gave them little hope of his survival from the operation much less the cancer.  Well he not only lived for another nine months but he and a young female of mine produced a litter of 6 healthy, beautiful show puppies that are about to start their show careers this month.  Steve believed in the KM and wanted me to try it on Jack.   I admit I was a little skeptical, but I had little to lose, so I began giving it to Jack and Sassafras in their food.  They loved the taste and would remind me if I had forgotten it.  Jack slowing improved and began acting more and more like his old self.  His eyes started to shine, his coat healed up to the point you could see no scarring, and his throat healed.  His only lasting scar was an ear that was a little wider at the base than the other one.  He made such a miraculous comeback that I entered him in a dog show in Orlando, and he went Best Veteran in Show, defeating many dogs 5 years his junior.  The Judges commented on what great shape he was in and how he surely didn't look eleven years old.  I attribute much of that vitality to KM as he is livelier now that he was before his accident.   The final girl, Squirt, had been given to a couple that had purchased a male puppy from me and wanted a companion for him.   While she was gone, she gained so much weight that she was lethargic, listless, and certainly had no sparkle in her eyes and she even gasped to breathe adequately.  I immediately cut her food way back and put her on KM.  She has now lost the weight and runs and plays with the other dogs.  Her eyes also sparkle and she has the old sheen back on her coat.           I swear by the product.  I will keep all of my dogs on KM from the age of 10 onward.  I have lived with and seen the results with my own eyes.  I swear by BilJac Reduced Fat dry food and KM as its only supplement.  It works for my dogs, and I'll bet it will work for others as well.   Sincerly,   Gale N.
