Dr. Cummins, I truly believe that your research has saved 
my life as well as my mother's. When my mother and I 
started the IFNa, we were in severe flares, (my moms worse 
than mine) she had been in the hospital because of her 
flare. By that time we still had no "official" conformation 
yet, her neurologist just said, "I'm 99.99 % sure that you 
have (Behcet's), go home and look it up on the net." 
At that time he did not personally want to diagnose us, he 
referred us to a Rheumatologist. In the mean time he put 
us on steroids, 60 Mgs. a day of Prednisone, and they 
didn't help, we were in a tailspin. My mother while doing 
research on the net came across the Behcet's chat site, at 
that time you had to be invited in, and after she got in 
she talked to Dot (whom I thank and remember in my prayers 
along with Genevieve Vanasco and Dr. Cummins every night). 
Dot told my mother about IFNa and how it had helped so many 
in her life. Honestly, after the stress of having my mom in 
the hospital and her still being so sick, myself as well,  
I really was skeptical about the "wonder" drug. I mean my 
mom just got out of the hospital I was so stressed I was 
in a total flare, and here is this woman that says, "this 
changed my life", I wondered to my self if my mom was 
grasping at straws. I don't mean to hurt your feelings 
Dot! Please don't take that personally, but at that time 
I didn't know you. None the less my mom believed in it so 
I went along, Dot helped put us in touch with a doctor 
with knowledge of this drug. I was so skeptical, but mom 
said she was going, with or without me! The idea of an 
oral surgeon that would be able to help us was pretty hard 
to swallow at the time. This doctor was a 5 hour car ride 
away and my mom was too sick to drive. In all honesty, I 
was too sick to drive but mom said that she thought  this 
was our miracle. That's what we got alright and without it 
I could never leave my house. We went to the doctor on a 
Tuesday and by Friday the IFNa was at our door. Within a 
week I felt on top of the world. I began to rethink the 
idea that I may never be able to have children. When I 
starting going into a really bad flare was when I was 
working part time and I baby sat my Godson Tyler from 7:30 
to 6:00. I only watched him for 5 months but in that short 
time I had been testing myself, wondering if I could really 
handle it, to my despair I couldn't.  If I couldn't even 
watch a child during the day then I could certainly not be 
a good responsible parent. I was devastated. I loved Tyler 
like my own son and I could not handle the stress (I have 
since found out that stress good or bad is devastating to
BDer) none the less....I COULD NOT HAVE KIDS. Well thanks 
to the IFNa, I finally have a life. Even better than that 
my husband and I  finally decided that we could start a 
family. 

Mom and I have been on our IFNa for I think a little over 
18 months, and then Gen and Dot told us about the bovine. 
I told them to tell Dr, Cummins that my mom and I wanted 
on it ASAP. It is even better!!! I've only been on this 
supplement 2 weeks and it's even better than the IFNa!!!! 
I really do urge all of you on the "traditional" treatment 
to consider this. You don't have anything to loose. I 
truly think that this supplement is a miracle treatment. 

I think I would be feeling even better but this horrible 
flu bug is going around town. I found out yesterday my best 
friend who has been ill for two weeks with this flu has 
strep throat.  Amazingly, while every one else is in bed 
with a fever and strep for days, I just feel a little tired 
with a slight case of the sniffles.  I am the one that always 
gets so ill every flu season so it feels amazing that the 
roles are reversed this year. Personally, I believe I dodged 
this bugs full impact because of the Cow Power and its 
anti-viral properties.

So that pretty much sums up my story, I would recommend 
Cow Power to any BD patient, actually to anyone with any 
autoimmune disorder. THANK YOU Dot and Gen for getting 
this information out to people who need help. 
GO COW POWER!!  It's my miracle!!! 
God Bless,
Crystal Clayton

P.S.
If you would like to talk to me personally my addy is 
(the_flowergirl1978@hotmail.com).  My mom and I along with 
my husband got to thank Dr. Cummins in person, an honor 
I'm sorry many of you will never get to experience. He 
is a true humanitarian, and I'm better for having known 
him. Thank you Dr. Cummins keep up the good work!Thanks, 
Crystal Clayton
