Argh...does this apply to bovine products only, or does it also

include porcine?

Oh lord have mercy on my soul.

If ALL animals are included in this ban and it means we can't get

Armour or similar products anymore...I am going to go to the black

market or something and smuggle the durn stuff in for my own use. Or

take up hunting as a hobby and grind up my own thryoids that I am

able to hunt. Something.

I've been following this.. so far they have not included either thyroid

or adrenal tissue in this.. but that may change... Thyroid wouldn't

bother me.. as I chose porcine anyway.. but I have a least a year to go

on my adrenal recovery and I'm responding very well to the bovine adrenal

glandular that I'm taking now....

I really wish I had the money to order enough bottles to get me through

another year, in case it is taken off the market.
