Manulife Financial Corporation Stock Upgraded (MFC)
Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model. NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Manulife Financial Corporation (NYSE:MFC) has been upgraded by TheStreet Ratings from sell to hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its increase in net income, reasonable valuation levels and growth in earnings per share. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including disappointing return on equity, poor profit margins and a generally disappointing performance in the stock itself.
- EXCLUSIVE OFFER: Jim Cramer's Protégé, Dave Peltier, only buys Stocks Under $10 that he thinks could potentially double. See what he's trading today with a 14-day FREE pass.
- The company, on the basis of net income growth from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly outperformed against the S&P 500 and exceeded that of the Insurance industry average. The net income increased by 82.2% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from -$1,277.00 million to -$227.00 million.
- MANULIFE FINANCIAL CORP reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past year. During the past fiscal year, MANULIFE FINANCIAL CORP turned its bottom line around by earning $0.01 versus -$0.27 in the prior year.
- The gross profit margin for MANULIFE FINANCIAL CORP is currently extremely low, coming in at 11.50%. Despite the low profit margin, it has increased significantly from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, MFC's net profit margin of -3.10% significantly underperformed when compared to the industry average.
- Current return on equity is lower than its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a clear sign of weakness within the company. Compared to other companies in the Insurance industry and the overall market on the basis of return on equity, MANULIFE FINANCIAL CORP underperformed against that of the industry average and is significantly less than that of the S&P 500.

Posts tagged: face mauling attack
In this image taken from video, Miami police officers stand watch near a naked man, second from right, who was shot dead by a police officer when he refused to stop chewing on the face of the naked man next to him, partially obscured by a railing, in Miami, Saturday. (AP Photo/The Miami Herald)
By JENNIFER KAY,Associated Press
MIAMI (AP) — It is being called one of this city's goriest crimes: A naked man was on top of another nude man along a busy highway, biting into the man's face, tearing it to pieces. A police officer arrived to help, but the mauler growled at him and continued to chew away, stopping only when he was shot to death.
Miami police said little Tuesday about the attack, which took place Saturday afternoon in the shadow of The Miami Herald headquarters. Surveillance video from the newspaper's security camera showed cars, motorcycles, pedestrians and bicyclists passing by.
The victim, identified as 65-year-old Ronald Poppo (left), was in critical condition, with only his goatee intact on his face, the newspaper reported.
Sgt. Javier Ortiz, vice president of the Miami Fraternal Order of Police, said it was one of the bloodiest "and goriest scenes I've ever been to."
"It was not only grotesque, it was just very sad, the amount of blood. It was very sad to see what happened to this gentleman that had his face eaten," Ortiz said.
It's not clear what led Rudy Eugene (right), 31, to attack Poppo. Eugene's ex-wife, Jenny Ductant, told WPLG-TV, said he was somewhat paranoid.
"I wouldn't say he had mental problem but he always felt like people was against him … No one was for him, everyone was against him," she told the station. She and Eugene's mother declined comment when reached by The Associated Press.
Larry Vega was riding his bicycle off the causeway, which connects downtown Miami with Miami Beach, when he saw the attack.
"The guy was, like, tearing him to pieces with his mouth, so I told him, 'Get off!'" Vega told Miami television station WSVN (http://bit.ly/L6kwWt). "The guy just kept eating the other guy away, like, ripping his skin."
Vega flagged down the Miami police officer, who can be seen exiting his car on the Herald video. Vega said the officer repeatedly ordered the attacker to get off. Eugene just picked his head up and growled at the officer before continuing to maul his victim, Vega said.
The officer shot Eugene, but he just kept chewing, Vega said. The officer fired again, killing Eugene.
Vega refused to comment when reached by The Associated Press, saying he wanted to put what he witnessed behind him.
Detective William Moreno would not release details about the shooting, citing the ongoing investigation. The Miami-Dade County medical examiner declined to provide any information until after the autopsy, which was scheduled for Tuesday.
Ortiz said the officer, who is part of a crisis intervention team and trained to deal with the mentally ill, had no choice but to fire.
"He's clearly shaken up," Ortiz said, adding that the officer had been administratively reassigned pending an investigation, as is standard after an officer-involved shooting.
After the shooting, the Herald's video zooms in on the scene. Most of it is blocked by an overpass, but two sets of uncovered legs can be seen. One set never moves, while the other twists and turns as if the person is in pain.
"It was just a blob of blood," Vega said. "You couldn't really see, it was just blood all over the place."
Court records show that Poppo has several arrests for public intoxication.
According to Miami-Dade court records, Eugene had been arrested for multiple misdemeanors, mostly marijuana-related charges. The most recent arrest was in 2009. The Herald reported that he played football at a Miami area high school in the late 1990s.
Ives Eugene, who identified himself as Rudy Eugene's uncle, described his nephew as a "nice and hard-working" man who washed cars at a local dealership.
He said his nephew had asked his girlfriend to borrow her car, but she said no. "So he rode the bicycle, and he never came back home," he said.
Associated Press reporter Suzette Laboy contributed to this report.

ANZ's economic contribution to society is more than financial profits. We create jobs, pay salaries and invest in the skills of our people. We also pay taxes in the countries where we operate, support business in our supply chain and provide products that satisfy the needs of our customers.
Economic value generated and distributed (EVG&D), as defined in the Global Reporting Initiative's Sustainability Guidelines (G3), provides a basic indication of how an organisation has created wealth for stakeholders.
ANZ's EVG&D information is derived from our audited financial statements and community investment figures calculated using the London Benchmarking Group methodology.
In 2011, direct economic value generated was $35,817 million and total economic value distributed was $32,737 million.

Total tax contribution
ANZ participates in an annual Total Tax Contribution Survey in conjunction with the Business Council of Australia and the Corporate Tax Association. ANZ uses this framework to communicate our economic tax contribution, manage tax-operating risk and optimise our tax strategy to create shareholder value. Further, a disclosure of this kind supports our tax strategy, being to maintain a low-risk tax appetite and a transparent tax culture.
During 2011, taxes borne in Australia amounted to more than $2.3 billion, with income tax and GST combining to contribute 84% of this amount. In New Zealand, taxes borne totalled $435 million, with income tax and GST contributing 89% of this amount.
Taxes collected in Australia amounted to $2.9 billion with more than half relating to GST and employee PAYG. New Zealand's taxes collected figure was $538 million with resident withholding tax and employee PAYG making up 78% of the total.

Two long returns have given the Bills great position, but there are no points to show for it.
The Denver defense has held strong as both Buffalo possessions ended with missed field goals wide left from Bills kicker Dave Rayner (45 and 31-yard attempts).
The Broncos have given up 63 total yards as the first quarter comes to a close. Denver leads 7-0.

Comments: I love my Nordictrack skier, I can not believe that its 25 years old. I was a young man at 35 years old when I purchased it, Im now 60 years old. My blood pressure is great and all my vitals much better that all my friends, exercise works. By the way I have not replaced any parts of the skier in those 25 years. Five stars the whole way!!!!!

Smooth, natural motion of Nordic skiing offers exercise without injury or discomfort, while adjustable resistance and elevation let you easily adjust the intensity of your workout. Independent resistance controls for the arms and legs give you training variety. The LED feedback window tracks time, distance calories burned and pulse.

Apple Cider Vinegar for Cats
Last Modified on Dec 19, 2013
Apple cider vinegar (ACV) is a popular home remedy for a nearly limitless count of human ailments. Its most famous advocate, however, Dr. Jarvis of Vermont studied its use for animals just as much as with people and often found it to be an excellent natural remedy for infections, infestations, skin ailments, digestive complaints, and general health conditions. Cat owners time and again find that this most popular health remedy for pets applies to their own furry friends as well!
If you would like to use apple cider vinegar to improve your cat's health, you can add a small amount to their food or water (if your cat dislikes the taste or smell in one of these, it will often tolerate it in the other). ACV can also be diluted somewhat for topical use.
Natural Pet Cures: Fleas, ticks, upper respiratory infections, cystitis, ear infections, and ringworm have all been cured with apple cider vinegar.

Apple Cider Vinegar
12/01/2012: Jean from Derby, Kansas: "My cat has hyperthyroid fast hart beat drinks alot -of water. the blood test for this $32 dollars $34 office call. The thyroid food you get at the vet. Small bag-dry food $23 dollars. a case can food $50 dollars.
i spent $200.00 so for on just her ears and other things. so I no how much vet bills can be. so I think any one wants to try avc and it helps your pet that is a good thing. As long as you are doing right by your pet you have the right to take of pet - without anyone telling otherwise. and will try avc."
09/18/2012: Carrie from Leichhardt, Qld/ipswich Australia: "Hi I was reading about giving my cat apple cider vinegar for uti and would like to add it to her water, but can not find how much to add, also will this hurt the other cats and the dog as they share the same water."
Replies05/11/2013: Belil from Los Angeles, California replies: "The usual suggestion by most people seems to be 3 parts (Filtered) water to 1 part Organic Apple Cider Vinegar (with the mother).BTW. If you're going to feed it to your pet in a dropper, then make sure the dropper was not used for medicine, any chemicals, residues of any kind. If you suspect the dropper was used for anything (even non chemicals such as food etc.) then wash inside the bottle & all parts of the items, rinse reallllllllllly well to make sure no soap, chemicals of any kind are left on it before use.
I would not suggest just using alcohol or hydrogen peroxide to clean but if you do, then make sure that is also rinsed really well with (filtered) water."
08/01/2012: Ruth from Holyoke, Mass: "My cat Snuggly poom had tapeworms last year and the vet gave him medicine and they dissappeared. But now he is sick again but this time I see no worms coming out of his rectum, his coat is dull looking, not eating moist can foods, peeing in different places around the apartment, looks very skinny, walks very slow does not play like he loves too. Can I try ACV for Snuggly?Do you think it's Hookworms?"
Replies12/13/2012: Maria from Sour Lake, Tx replies: "that sounds like uti or kidney problem if your cat is old better than canned food feed it raw meat which is a species appropriate diet hope this helps along w the ACV"
10/22/2013: Arden from Hudson, Nh replies: "Hi Ruth- trying something like ACV is a good idea, but with the symptoms you described you need to get him to a vet for a diagnosis. Anorexia in a cat is particularly troubling as this can kick off liver problems. By rejecting food and changing his bahavior he is telling you that something is really wrong. In addition, whatever is going on with your little guy is severe and long-term enough to have affected his coat. Best wishes to you and to Snuggly poom."
[YEA] 02/26/2012: Sharon from New Orleans, La, Us: "My 13 year old grey tabby Prince Leo of Prytania Street came down with chronic diarrhea when we moved. The move was very stressful. Initially the vet and I thought that it was stress related from moving since his annual physical and blood tests revealed that he was in excellent health organ wise. He had also lost a pound since moving and he has always been a lean muscular indoor/outdoor kitty.
You name it, I had every blood screening test done for liver, heart, diabetes, thyroid and whatever else was available including urinalysis. This is a somewhat "boutique" veterinary practice that is solely dedicated to cats so it is pricey, we're talking annual physicals w/shots at over $450. Urinalysis and fecal testing was extra as well as the various blood testing panels which put the bill a little over $900. The vet thought that it could be the possibility of aging or some kind of bacteria issue. She was convinced that since nothing else was wrong with him that this could be controlled since everything else had been ruled out. He had never been sick before and has never had to be medicated for anything.
I wasn't crazy about antibiotics but agreed that my poor guy was so miserable that we should go ahead and get rid of whatever evil bacteria was causing the problem as parasites had already been ruled out and follow up with a course of probiotics. The vet also was insistent on a ZD prescription diet to the tune of $35/4lb bag as well as an anti-inflammatory and vitamin B12 subcutaneous injections since it appeared that he was not absorbing nutrients from his food.
Within three days of the antibiotics the frequency of Leo's bowel movements dropped from 6/7 to 3/4 a day but still diarrhea. After 8 days of tricking leo into eating the two pills with the greenie pill pocket we were ready to start the probiotic phase that included capsules and a stool firming paste. We were to start the Prednisolone and B12 injections after 10 days of administering the probiotics, at which time I was to come pick up the prescription and report Leo's reactions. After the 10 days Leo was still having the diarrhea but the frequency of bowel movements did not increase.
Because we were administering so many different medications I decided to hold off on the B12 injections and tricked Prince Leo into eating the first Prednisolone with a greenie pill pocket on Wednesday the 22nd. It was administered at 6:30 PM that evening. By 9:30 PM Leo was vomiting profusely and having extreme diarrhea, he would not eat or drink any fluids. I immedidately got online researching diarrhea in cats and found Earth Clinic.
I always have Raw Organic Unfiltered ACV with "the mothers" since I am a vegetarian and make my own salad dressings. I also researched food. I was up all night administering the 1/4 teaspoon to 8oz filtered water with a water syringe (the kind you get from the vet to wash down medication) in three hour intervals. It was very difficult to get him to ingest the vinegar solution so I made sure that I applied some liberally to his paws since cats always lick themselves clean. I also did the 50/50 solution to the back of his neck massaging into the skin. I continued to coax Leo into drinking water and letting him rest.
Cats are not designed to eat grains which is a common ingredient in all cat foods. Notice those prescription diets never say GRAIN FREE!! I researched grain free cat foods and knew that one of my local grocery stores carried a human food grade grain free cat food by Wellness. The store opened at 7:00 AM and I can assure you I was the FIRST customer!! I avoided any of the fish flavors and stuck with the chicken, turkey & beef/chicken combo.
Whenever Leo hears a can opening he runs to the kitchen, although he was very weak, he sashayed his way in. I put a little of the oral solution I had mixed up in with two tablespoons of the cat food and some water. He gobbled it down immediately. Then went to lie down. He kept it down too!! I let him eat as much as he wants whenever he paws at me for food. He is now beginning to "fill out" in the spine area and his coat is glossy and silky. His stools are still soft but are beginning to form like mini logs and he is urinating just fine.
Who'd have thought a $6 bottle of organic ACV with "mothers" would be such a miracle cure. I will be continuing with this treatment until his stools are firm and then will cut back to 3 to 5 drops in his food for the future. This website is now my #1 bookmark for myself and Leo's health!!
Note: It is very important not to use ACV full strength from the bottle. Follow the dilutions and you will see improvement within 24 hours. Be prepared for the bowel movements to be very odorous!! To me that must be the bad bacteria being pushed out."
Replies02/27/2012: Jenn from Brantford, Ontario, Canada replies: "What about adding it to your cat's food? Since they eat & drink it mixes together anyway, right? I'm adding the water/vinegar mixture in his canned food to make it a little runnier, since he doesn't want to eat much, I find I can get him to eat more if I do this... He likes the canned food with the 'gravy' like consistency... And if giving him the ACV will help in anyway & also just to help keep him hydrated, this is what I started doing. Along, with also using the vinegar/water mixture for his drinking water."
02/28/2012: Sharon from New Orleans, La, Us replies: "Hi Jenn, Yes I do add it to his food now for oral ingestion but I still dilute when I add as Leo has been through so much. He will not drink his water if I add a few drops to it at all. So I do add it to his food. I am still doing the topical as well. He is doing much better and is eating like a little piggy. Although his bowel movements are still very runny they are down to 2 to max 3 a day. He has definitely gained weight over the past 5 days and I have realized he did not require the B12 as he is definitely absorbing the nutrients. The grain free diet is a huge improvement. Once he has stabilized further and gained at least another half pound I will be switching him to a specialized enzyme and probiotic formula developed especially for cats who are eating a non raw food diet."
03/01/2012: Kate from Chicago, Il replies: "Have you tried pumpkin puree for your cat? One of my cats got stress-related diarrhea and the pumpkin cleared it up immediately. You can mix it in their food or give it to them alone (some will eat it, some won't). All it takes is about 1 tsp twice a day for a few days. Works for dogs, too. :-)"
04/27/2012: Kg6170 from Roanoke, Va replies: "I know this was posted a while back, but for those whose cats have occasional runny diarrhea, in addition to pumpkin puree, acidophilis can fix up your cat's tummy fast. My persian seems to have bouts of diarrhea with every change of the season, I add some acidophilis powder to his food and his stools go back to normal within a day or two. They make a special powder to mix in with your cats food, I think it's more palattable to them then made-for-people kind, my cats love it."
08/02/2012: Servane from Manchester, England replies: "I read your story with interest as I've also been looking at the benefits of using ACV, in particular instead of the commercial pet treatments which I'm reasoning can't be good for them. One thing that I firmly believe about cats is their diet, cat food as you mentioned contains many things that cats can't digest. They are designed to eat raw meat and bones. I slowly changed our cats diet last year and with that came shiny coats, more energy, good teeth and NO smelly poos. So much information on the internet on how to do this. I urge all pet owners to look into it."
11/01/2012: Nickie from Ruislip, Middlesex England replies: "Re; Servane's comments. My very fussy cat was running me ragged with her finicky eating as I had to continually try new brands to tempt her palate. Then I read the blurb on the tin, put out by one of the 'top' brands, and saw it only contained 4% protein. Figured I was paying £52 or $75 per pound for ground up fish heads or chicken guts so started a tough love assault. She still won't eat raw but now enjoys real chicken, especially the broth. She is probably about 16 and in spite of her junk food addiction is still healthy and has all her teeth. Now she has fleas which seem much worse after our wet Summer so thanks for all the remedies and tips on administering ACV."
[YEA] 02/06/2012: Deb from Wake Forest, Nc: "I should have done this long ago, since it was information I found on Earth Clinic, that saved my cat's life.
In late December 2010, my cat started having serious problems urinating, back and forth to the box, meowing, nothing happening. Occassionally a drop the size of a green pea, in the litter box. I had just moved, was completely broke and a vet bill was out of the question. I knew what was wrong with her, a bladder stone had all but closed off her urethra, tiny bit of urine tinged with blood was all she could pass. I had dealt with this many years ago with a male cat.
Having no $$ I hit the internet and found this wonderful site. I didn't have the 'organic' ACV that everyone said to get, but did have plain ACV from the grocery store. I started giving it to her in a dropper, 3 parts water to 1 part ACV. I'm lucky cause she's a feral cat, she'll eat anything. I bought some small cans of 'special diet' cat food, any brand that says Urinary Tract Formula, on it. I mix 1/4 of the food with 3 droppers of ACV and some warm water to make it soupy, she ate it all. In a couple days, her pea-sized drops became grape sized and continued to increase until back to normal. It took 2-3 weeks for her to be completely back to normal. It has been over 2 years, a couple times she has passed small stones and a very small amount of blood, but that was in the 1st 6 months. Since then, no problems what so ever. Once I missed giving her the ACV for a couple days and it started right back up, never did that again! So now she has the same food mix every morning, along with 1CC of the water-ACV mix 4to1 from a syringe slowly into her mouth before her breakfast.
She is fine and now 16 years old! I can't thank this site or all the contributors for helping me to save her, when there was nothing else I could do. Thank You to All of you!"
Replies02/07/2012: Deb from Wake Forest, Nc replies: "Wanted to clarify, made a mistake on the measurement at the end of my post, it should be a 3 to 1 ratio and I checked my syringe and it's ML not CC, so its 1ml of the 3 parts water to 1 part ACV mix. Also, please do NOT give your pet straight ACV, its too strong and not necessary.To the lady with the cat that has kidney stones, I don't see why the ACV wouldn't help, since it dissolves bladder stones, seems like it would do the same for the kidney stones. I know, the 1st couple weeks is hard, but after that, its smooth sailing! During the first couple months, I noticed occassional blood in the urine, common sense would tell me that she had passed a stone, as the ACV dissolves them to a smaller size, they can be passed, but will cause a small amount of blood in the urine. This hasn't happened in probably 18 months or longer.
My 'Shadow' has been fine ever since I got her back to normal with the ACV, its been over 2 years, she's still on the same thing and going great. But I will have to give her this for the rest of her life, it takes no time for the stones to come back, but as long as I am diligent, she's fine. Once you get it cleared up, you will have to continue it forever, but that's a small price to pay for a healthy, happy kitty. It's only 5 min of your day and I can't stress enough how well this works or thank Earth Clinic enough for the info.
Good luck with your kitty!"
04/16/2012: Villainesse from Santa Rosa, Ca replies: "Don't fret, whichever your dropper says: 1ml = 1cc"
12/19/2013: Max from Connecticut replies: "Hey I seen this thread and found your post looking for a uti cure myself for my maine coon outdoor/indoor cat who is also peeing blood and meows alot during urination. So I am going to follow your method hoping for same results :) but I had a question about the end pf ur post on the ongoing delivery of acv. I didnt understand it much do you still give same amount in food from when you started? Or lower it or sumthing. Mainly bcuz my cat is tough to get to drink plain water let alone Apple Cider Vinegar mix. But tried a little with sum salmon flakes cat food "canned" and he enjoyed it all soupy like. So it looks good so far only in that way off giving it to him. But im a guest to this site and cant promise ill be on top of replies but would appretiate if u emailed me if u happen to see this? Basically just wanna know if u stayed to the same amount the entire time. Thnk you for your very helpfull post none the least. Heres my email Maxj99(@)comcast(.)net (if u could subject it "acv for cat" or something id spot in my horde of spam mail that fills my email box id be very greatfull. )"
12/10/2011: Kelly from Florence, Tuscany, Italy: "To everyone who has taken the time to share their stories on Earthclinic, THANK YOU. This is such an excellent website with a wonderful community. I read it all the time, and I came here looking for help immediately when my cat got sick, and thank goodness I did. The 65 reviews of Apple Cider Vinegar convinced me that it was the right thing to give him. So here's my story:
My cat, Aurelio, is 5 years old. He's a healthy inside-outside cat who lives in the country. Although Aurelio loves to be inside with us during the cold months, my husband and I noticed that he was spending less time inside recently (December). He would come home, beg for food, eat rapidly and practically scream to go back outside. When we wouldn't open the door right away he would run through the house, looking in corners, and behaving very strangely until we let him leave. This went on for about a week and then one morning I noticed spots of blood in the bidet and a strong cat-urine smell, but with no visible urine. It bothered me, but our cats often nick themselves while digging outside and I thought maybe he had cut his paw and maybe the litterbox had been full so he had used the bidet for peeing (this isn't unusual - this is a cat who has been known to use the people toilet). Three days later I saw the same thing again and then I got really worried and went online to research blood in cat urine. Meanwhile, my husband had left town for a week, leaving me with no car and therefore no access to a veterinarian. We live out in the country and it's the holiday season, so there weren't any friends easily available to help. Once I realized that Aurelio probably had cystitis, and maybe for longer than a week, I panicked. I was especially concerned by the warning that a male cat can become blocked, and I knew that I was working against time.
So this is what I did: As soon as Aurelio returned home for dinner on Day 1 I gave him 1/4 tsp. Organic ACV 1-1/2tsp water in his wet food. I took away his dry food. He actually seemed to really enjoy his dinner, so it was no problem. And only 15 minutes later he went to his litter box and peed a small amount, though I couldn't see if there was still blood in his urine. 3 hours later I gave him the same dose of ACV/H20 in a smaller amount of wet food. He ate it and within 20 minutes he went back to the litter box and peed again - this time slightly more and no blood that I could see. This happened once more that night and again the next morning. He seemed to be feeling better too - no meowing, no running around the house - he was calm and had a good night's sleep. In fact, he was so well in the morning that I let him go outside after eating his ACV breakfast. He returned home in the evening, Day 2, and I started the same routine again - this time his urine was significantly more - I'd say it was about half of a healthy pee, 2 times that night and again the next morning after I gave him his ACV breakfast. Day 3 was exactly the same. Aurelio was jumping around, happy, healthy and actually begging for his ACV food.
On Day 4 there was trouble. Foolish me thought that he was well enough that I could give him a tiny bit of dry food and it would be fine. It wasn't. After eating his meal (again, the same as before but dry food) he started behaving strangely. Screaming to go outside. Running to the bathroom every 5 minutes, trying to pee in the bidet (not the litter box). About the 4th try, a little bit of watery blood came out - maybe three drops. This happened again 10 minutes later, but only 2 drops. And then he couldn't go at all. He started to look really tired and he was breathing rapidly and had very alert eyes. I was so upset. How could I have done this?
It was 10pm and I had no choice but to increase the amount of ACV. So I took a medical syringe and mouth-fed it to him like everyone recommended. It was about 1/2 tspACV enough water to fill the syringe. It wasn't difficult as he actually seemed to like it. His first dose was at 10pm. I gave a second syringe at 1am and another at 4am, then we both fell asleep. At 7am he peed - but it was only 2 drops of watery blood. I gave him breakfast of his wet food with 1/2tsp ACV 2-1/2tsp H20 and then another syringe. He fell asleep again and woke up 3 hours later, asking for more. I continued to give him a syringe every 3 hours on Day 5 but by the afternoon it looked like he wasn't getting any better. He hadn't even tried to pee since that morning and I was worried that I was filling him up with water and creating a dangerous situation. So I called my husband. He told me: in 2 hours I'll call you back and if you think it's an emergency, I'll have someone come get him and take him to the animal emergency. So I waited. Aurelio was so lethargic he hardly seemed to wake up when I shook him. And I thought for sure I was on the verge of losing him. And then - miracle of miracles - at exactly 2 hours later, about 5pm on Day 5, just when my husband called me back, Aurelio jumped up, trotted to the kitchen, asked for his ACV meal, ate, took a syringe and then trotted to the bidet to pee. And this time he peed a full, clear stream with no straining whatsoever!! I nearly fell to the floor with relief. I continued on his syringe routine and he peed stronger and clearer everytime for about 5 times that evening and once again in the morning. He slept well, he looked healthy, and everytime he woke up, he asked for his medicine. Day 6 he was healthy and happy again and I cut back his syringes to 1 every 4 hours. Day 7 and he is back to normal, still continuing to give him syringes and ACV in his wet food. I won't be giving him any dry food for at least a month.
As far as I have seen, ACV is truly a miracle-cure, thank you all for this wonderful advice! I do, however, have one question about something that concerns me and that's Aurelio's rapid breathing for about an hour after having ACV. Is this normal? It seems to me that he goes through 3 stages after eating ACV food/taking an ACV syringe: 1) He's extremely energetic, like a kitten playing 2) settles down but seems uncomfortable or in some slight pain and has rapid breathing 3) about 1hour after taking his ACV he is back asleep again, settled and purring. This happens everytime like clockwork. Should I be worried that I am causing him some pain? And this might be unrelated but he also licks at his right side. Is this an indication of something else going on besides the cystitis? He is back to peeing normally again, and he really seems to like his ACV, so I'm confused. Again, THANK YOU ALL!! :D"
Replies01/24/2012: Anoosh from Half Moon Bay, Calif. replies: "I am responding to all the ACV posts for cat ailments. I have a 4 year old sphynx that has has a chronic sinusitis or cold or something for the past 2 years. He has been through every medical regime possible for cats-including a round of antibiotics for fish. He has been on the traditional rounds of antibiotics, super power antibiotics, drops, double doses, double rounds, multiple antibiotics simultaneously and etc. Nothing made a bit of improvement and I was told it was simply going to be chronic.I recently began making Kombucha for my own use and decided to give the cat 1 tbls. A day orally with a dropper. We are on about week 6 and this cat is cured. We went from him sneezing and literally blowing-sorry.... -great big gobs of snot everywhere-the walls, the windows, the furniture, our bedding (very very gross) to not one sneeze in over 3 weeks. It took about 3 weeks to see a difference, but I am more than hopeful that he will be cured. His breathing is clear and no longer has that gurggly sound to it. I suppose store bought Kombucha would work also and much cheaper than any vet bill."

I have a post on EC but here you go: take a baby teasp. with turmeric powder, open the hatch and put the powder on the tongue. Immediately close the mouth. Keep a paper towel in one hand and watch out when kitty begins to retch. All the phlegm will come out. Repeat as needed. My cat was free of trouble in just three days. I was so amazed! Turmeric is a natural antibiotic and good for liver and 500 other things.Anyway, as soon kitty can smell again, he will eat his dinner. All the best Om"
[YEA] 12/02/2011: Worried Cat Owner from State College, Pa: "IT WORKS!
Make sure you buy the ORGANIC apple cider vinegar WITH THE MOTHER!
I have 8 yes thats EIGHT cats. One got a SERIOUS infection in both her eyes so bad they were pasted shut almost all the time. Vet visit cost $64 and eye drops that I didn't see much improvement with.
Every day another one of my cats came down with an infection in their eye. I was so worried about how I was going to get ahead of this crap running rampid thru my beloved cats.
I found this website and went and got a container of the organic apple cider vinegar for $3.67.
To apply the vinegar I used a very small syringe. I put vinegar in it and then applied it to the back of their neck making sure it got down to the skin. A cotton ball works too but the syringe works really good. I also used the syringe and gave the cat with the worst infection some of the apple cider vinegar in her mouth - followed it up with kitty treats.
I did apply some to the tops of their front paws (this is so they will lick it off) too.
I've only applied the vinegar to the cats about three times (I apply it morning and evening) and I SEE A DEFINITE DIFFERENCE! I can only hope everyone else sees the results I have. It's unbelievable."
Replies12/28/2011: Pob406 from Philadelphia, Pa, America replies: "Hello. I have really enjoyed reading the testimonials about acv. It really is a remarkable product. I have a sick 5month old male Siamese kitten @home. I just adopted an adorable 1.5 year old female Maine Coon mix & she got a stress cold due to her recent spay. She was spayed the same day I bought her home from the shelter. It took her about a week to start sneezing. But by then my little guy had already started sneezing as well. He was really tired on Dec 24-25 but was still eating. He stopped eating on the 26th. I have been feeding him goats milk w/a dropper to help keep him hydrated & to provide him w/nutrition. I have also been rubbing the Apple Cider Vinegar on his neck and giving him that in the dropper as well. He seems like he's getting better since I started giving him the acv, but his nose is still stuffy.Should I try children's nasal spray? As long as he can't smell he won't eat. I even tried heating his food, but he didn't want it. I'm just wondering how long it will take before he starts to eat again. I had to pay one rather large bill twice due to a mix up this month w/a money order. Otherwise I would take him to the vet right away. I've been an emotional wreck since he's been sick. He's my special little guy. Any insight about nasal decongestants and a time frame for a kitty cold to pass would be much appreciated. Thanks for your time."
01/20/2012: Kittyboogers from Carnelian Bay, Ca replies: "I had a cat with a VERY serious URI; at one point he stopped eating and became emaciated. The lysine I gave him for the URI (which helped dramatically) wasn't working and too hard on an empty stomach. Finally I read to give tuna out of a can... esp. the juice. It worked! He couldn't resist the smell and started eating. He would eat a bit, turn away, then I would say "keep eating" and put him back in front of his plate. Then praise him for eating and stroke him. Pretty soon he got his appetite back and I didn't have to coax him anymore. Between the tuna, putting him back in front of the food, and rewarding with praise and affection (and after he started eating, lysine plus fresh air did amazing things for the URI) he gained all his weight back and was almost healthy. But the great outdoors that was getting him healthy also seemed to have dangers as he didn't come back one evening: could have been coyote, mean dog or ignorant tourist assuming he was a stray (no collar).Now I'm using ACV for my new kitten who struggles with eye infectons. I swipe diluted and sometimes full strength across his CLOSED eye and by morning his eye is wide open again. I need to try it in his food and more often for a few days to kick the thing, I think."
[WARNING!] 03/05/2012: Scott from Miami Beach, Florida replies: "Please remember. NEVER use the ACV full strength. It's highly corrosive and I'm certain it burns like hell. I have 6 rescue cats and I use 1 capfull of ACV to 1 cup water applied to their closed eyes for the stuff that starts to build up and ultimately turn into something nasty. The same solution on a clean cotton ball for ears and again the same mixture on hot spots on 1 cat that is always getting them. Have also used the ACV and water solution on the same cat for contact dermatitis and have used it on myself for seasonal allergies (eyelids and nasal openings)."
08/03/2013: Mary from Port Ewen, Ny replies: "Well, so funny I have 9 cats and 2 chiuahuahas and I had the same exact problem. 3 of my kittens are white got them with servere upper respiratory infections and antibiotics cleared that up it took 6 weeks. BUt because of the upper respiratory infection they got servere pink eye and eyes were glued shut with puss yellow n then green used antibiotics from vet and 6mnths later their eyes still get a black drainage that has to be cleaned a couple of times a day. So I'm now using the Apple Cider Vinegar due to the vet bill are getting pricey and it clears up in one cat but goes to the next so I'm keeping it on hand and using it instead"
[YEA] 10/12/2011: Gale from Interlochen, Michigan Usa: "A church member told me about the earth clinic site three weeks ago. I have three cats--the one I am talking about is a male Pixie Bob that found us 7 years ago. My Vet said he was approximately 5 months old at the time. I immediately tried to find his owner and in doing so discovered that Bobbie had a problem--first of all when I picked him up he peed on me and that is probably why he "found" my home in the first place. Bobbie would go sometimes in the litter but mostly wanted to go anywhere on the floor he wanted. He was also very territorial. In the winter months he would also pee on my furniture throws and my husband and me. He acted surprised when he peed on us and jumped down immediately like he didn't know what he was doing. My other two cats are also males... one is a Raggdoll and the other a domestic tabby.
I took Bobbie to the Vet. He was fixed and given antibotics for UTI. Three years later over holidays he had total uriniary tract blockage. Six days at Vet with catheter and whole works to the tune of $2000. Still no real commitment from Bobbie to use litter. I then changed his diet (not Vet's advice) to completely raw with dry only as treats.
Last month he had another total blockage. Before my Vet (now for 7 years) examined him she told me it would be $1000. And it was--along with special diet of feline SO canned/dry catfood to be kept on for one month. That alone was $80. It made him have an urge to pee all the time. He was also to take prednisone pill form. He acted crazy so I thru that out after two day. He was miserable and was just squatting to pee anywhere and everywhere.
Three weeks ago a church member told me she had 7 rescue cats. Said to try ACV. I am in the 12th day of mixing ACV 50/50 in drinking water and food and rubbing on back of neck. This time Bobbie's quantity of urine has increased and he has not peed on the floor in the house anywhere since I began using ACV. After 7 years I have prayed for this day. I had decided that another bout this problem would end in me having to put Bobbie down because his UTI was dictating how my husband and I lived our lives.
Yesterday I purchased the organic ACV with Mother and will use that from now on. I am also taking back the canned catfood I didn't use for a refund after reading the ingredients on the can--pork liver and pork byproducts! Do vets even read these ingredients listed on food they recommend for your pets???
Will post again in three months with update. Thank you so much for this website."

With a cotton ball or maybe one of those oral needle-less syringes?My poor cat has such a stuffed nose and as awesome as ACV sounds I have yet to find a clear instruction on how to use it.

Many thanks for any help!"

Ironically enough, fleas HATE ACV!!! They "flee" the stuff!Also, you can put some on kitties paws so they can lick it off. I took a spray bottle, and mixed ACV and water. I mist a brush and then use on my kitties. Overall, this is very healthy for your kitties.

1. If you put it "behind the neck" - well my cat has a lot of fur 'behind her neck' so, does that mean to rub it into her skin? Undiluted? Should we be getting the fur soaked in it? Or just put drops on the fur?
2. What is the dilution for putting it on cat's paws?
3. I use lots of alternative and herbal remedies for myself and my family, but in order to believe the testimonials on this website, and in order for more people to benefit, some people with knowledge and experience should provide specific instructions that other people can follow and have success with."

[YEA] 08/24/2011: Kackiecnm from San Diego, Ca : "I have read many of the posts for treating a variety of feline ailments from relatively mild to life threatening and the great and even miraculous results without the huge Vet costs and, even if finances were not an issue, the Rxs that they use from steroids to antibiotics have terrible side effects and often not only mask the many symptoms, as with steroids, but do not affect a cure and end up making your pet worse and increase their suffering.
However, there are so many opinions of how much to give orally (internally) regardless of the whether the ailment be a UTI, URI or GI etc. As far as how much ACV to dilute with how much water that it hard to figure out. And, topically I have read everything from using it undiluted on back of neck (which gets it into the whole system as the dermis is the largest organ or absorption:-) to a 50/50 mix to apply to wounds, mange, to clean out ear infections, be they a mite problem or bacterial infection, etc.
So, although a lot of what works is by experimenting trial and error as to dose, frequency, mode of application --- what we really need is a thread devoted just to this.
One thing I can share is that aside from maintaining your pet's health be he/she a feline or canine by putting a little ACV in their drinking water or moist food daily, the easiest way to treat a cat who is resistant is to mix what you believe is the proper dilution in a jar with a lid to use later, and suck up some in a needleless syringe with a plunge or an sterilized eyedropper and squirt it in the side of their mouth near jaw hinge --- not too fast as you may cause them to gag or choke, but if you are "calm and assertive" and speak soothingly, it's not hard to do at all --- if you have a really uncooperative large cat, straddle him/her and squat over him/her on your knees.
Replies08/24/2011: Kackiecnm from San Diego, Ca replies: "Hello,Kackie here again with part 2 of my post that got entitled "Yea" --- Some was cut off as I guess it was too long-winded. Anyway, below I have cut and pasted the rest of it and this time included my email address if any of you wish to share or pick my brain further:
1st post cont. --- "
I have gleaned a few things from all of your posts that everyone seems to agree upon that ACV has:
My situation is that I have a cat with a rare systemic disease, Coccidioidomycosis, aka "Valley Fever" (a type of fungal infection that cats who go outside get from infected soil in SW states). Starts in bronchea with whooping cough type eposides (not fur ball type) and can stay "contained" there. But, once it disemenates, due to a failure of immune system, it is life threatening, often fatal and causes multiple awful symptoms from rapid weight loss, to hair loss in patches, (a lot due to poor cat constantly licking and scratching) whisker loss, GI problems, signs of pain as if arthritis, rapid atrophy of hind quarters, nervous system --- restlessness and actual panic attacks and more with every organ system involved. It is hard to diagnose. (Both Trad. And Alrntv. Vets couldn't in my case and I spent $100s ) It was only ater hours of research online that I finally figured it out myself. Anyway, my search also led to the blessing of finding Earth Clinic and the ACV remedy. I have started to apply a 50/50 solution to Jazz's bare patches as think using it straight may cause some burn --- am guessing at dilution that I am giving her orally AM and PM via method described above. Will keep you all posted, but would very much appreciate any "feedback" or referral to any more specific dosing info as to titre and amounts. Thank you all, and blessings to my fellow guardians of the creatures who depend on us for care in exchange for the love and pleasure they give unconditionally to us. "Kackie
PS The benefit of administering the ACV dilution orally to your pet via either syringe or meaured dropper is that you know how much they're getting if your trying to treat for a specific thing. A little in drinking water per other posters' suggestion seems fine for "healthy maintenance. "
[YEA] 08/30/2011: Naturalpetmom from Canton, Ohio replies: "I am now a believer in the power of natural remedies, including ACV. My dog developed a UTI after 2 days of icy snow that made him fearful to go out. At the same time my dad died and I was busy making funeral arrangements. There was simply no time for a veternary visit. I diluted 2 tsp of ACV in a half cup of water twice a day and mixed it with his food. Within 24 hours the symptoms were gone and he was urinating normally. I recently used diluted ACV on his hives to prevent secondary infection after an allergic reaction to frontline drops. I now use an all natural flea preventive with clove oil, lemongrass and peppermint oil. It works well and I can spray the carpet with it if I need to. I also take ACV for symptoms of a UTI. It sure beats drinking several glasses of cranberry juice or taking cranberry tabs, which tend to upset my stomach.Many people today are demanding natural cures for their families and themselves. While my mom's physician prescribes antibiotics for a UTI, mine prescribes vitamin C or cranberry tabs. If we can make such choices for ourselves why shouldn't we do so for our pets. I sprinkle garlic powder on the lawn once a month in the summer and early fall to keep fleas from coming in on the kids and pet. (We probably wouldn't even consider putting a product like Frontline on our kids). My neighbor uses it because his wife has asthma and can't tolerate chemicals. I recently applied ACV on the back of the neck of an 8 week old rescued kitten for conjunctivitis. The results were amazing. A bottle of organic ACV with mothers costs around $5 in the organic section of the grocery. It takes about six months to go through a bottle and does not interfere with the immune system like many drugs can. Those who think every health issue warrants a trip to the vet don't realize most vets won't prescribe a natural cure and sometimes the prescriptions for pets have an effect on human health. I'm not totally against antibiotics and standard treatments as they do have their place. I believe frequent use or overprescribing poses serious consequences for humans and pets."
07/23/2011: Angela from Kent, England: "I just want to thank Earth clinic for saving my cat Blue's wazzoo and possibly his life. The vets had given up and were going to remove his wazzoo. , they had given him pain killers and antibiotics for over a week and felt his infection would not leave as his wazzoo was blocked
I had seen your article on teh internet and thought I would give it a go. He is a five year old male who loves FOOD.
I gave him some homemade ACV through a syring for about twice a day 3 days one week, I'm not sure of the quatity(but now I give him a 1/4 of a teaspoon mixed with a teaspoon of water) and some shop brought full strength the next week again three days, twice a day. It took about 2 days for it to work. He is now his old self although I give him a little every week just to help keep his acid levels OK. He is very grateful."

I read about the vinegar put on the back of the neck and paws. My older cat, Lucky was very sick, Kindey failure. It cleared his right eye almost overnight. I finally had to put him to sleep last Thursday. That was so sad. I wish I had known about all of this a long time ago.
I started adding the vinegar to their wet food. Lucky started eating again. He had quit for awhile. Oreo, has been eating more than I've seen her eat in all the years I've had her. If she leaves some, I add a little more water and she eats the rest. Her coat is glossy. Fleas are almost gone. And she has gained weight, at least 2lbs. You could feel her ribs and spine. No more.
Thank y'all so much for the info about the vinegar. I never realize the need for the liquids. Use to, she would nibble at her food and walk away. It would sit there and dry up. Lucky ate all of his all this time. But he did drink an awful lot of water."

I'd say within 6 hours her breathing got better, eye cleared up and seems friskier. Today she seems fine. Looks like this home cure really works! Thanks"

Haven't we already seen a flaming stereotype matched with a conservative--Brandon and Frank on Survivor: Africa?
To this day, whenever someone says something about a "sterotypical gay man," I get a mental image of Brandon with the bow and arrow.

Just rumors of a gunman at school, spread on social media, were enough to keep a third of the students at Clyde Boyd Middle School in Sand Springs home Friday.
But police say there was never any evidence that anyone at the school was in danger.
The rumor of the threat came Thursday night, but in the world of social media, both police and school administrators say it snowballed quickly into something larger.
The school day had just begun, when parents at Clyde Boyd Middle School showed up to pull their kids from class.
12/18/2012 Related Story: Response To Shots Fired Near Tulsa School More Severe Due To Recent Events
"It's been a disruptive day, for all the wrong reasons, in my humble opinion," said Superintendent Lloyd Snow.
Snow said as many as 400 students went home after hearing that one of their classmates had talked about bringing a gun to school.
The report came in after a student told his mom about a conversation he'd overheard in the hallway on Thursday.
"We had a lot of parents that had some misinformation, so the story then kind of grew from there that was lockdowns and people with guns and all sorts of things, so parents started pulling their kids from school," said Sand Springs Police Chief Mike Carter.
Carter said he and the school checked into the threat, but found it wasn't credible.
He was so certain that he sent his own children to the middle school.
"I put my money where my mouth is, and more importantly, put something that's the nearest and dearest to me, and that's my own children, in that school, because I trust what we'd found out," Carter said.
Snow said parents panicked when another TV station reported the threat, despite being told by the school and police that there was no merit to the report.
He said it's understandable that parents are concerned, especially after Sandy Hook.
"Without in the least bit sounding trite, with that horrible tragedy in Connecticut, schools are safe. We work at that and we'll continue to work at that," Snow said.
And while the district looks into every report of a threat, Snow said it would get out of hand if they were to fire the alarms each time the word "gun" was uttered in the hallway.
"We're working hard and we need our parents to understand, if there's a potential threat of substance, we're not gonna leave them in the dark," Snow said.
Both Superintendent Snow and Police said that parent did the right thing by reporting what her child had heard at school.
The district has a system in place to alert parents if there is a safety concern, and if a situation warrants it, they will be alerted.

**If I edit I'm correcting a typo!**
I've talked to her a couple of times since, and one time actually got to watch her with her own WS and realized she is scared of him and they had much bigger problems than we had. Made me realize she was trying to find a way out of her own hell, and actually made me feel sorry for her. She must have no self esteem and she lost *everything* even though he was as much to blame as she was. In fact, he started the game of open marriage, swinging, having relationships on the side, etc.
So, at this point, I really don't have any more questions for her. A lot of my questions have been answered, but they truly weren't the answers I thought I'd find.
I'm sorry, I can't use the abbreviations, I don't always understand them and people make their own up.
I think I would ask him: Given how you have lost custody of your daughter and are not allowed to see her, were you trying to substitute my family for yours? When I asked you if you were having an affair with my wife and you lied to me about it, why did you lie? Who were you trying to protect? My wife who clearly told you it was over? How would you feel if a man came, took your partner/lover/friend and took advantage of them during a low point of the relationship? Are you afraid of me and what I could to you - physically, emotionally, with your coworkers, your family?
I would not give her the time of day much less ask "it"a question.
[This message edited by whattheh at 11:50 AM, August 26th (Monday)]
I would ask her how she could be so selfish, how she could introduce her children to a situation that could only go badly, and how she feels now that he sent her that denigrating NC letter and realizes that her place in his life is like dog shit on the sole of his shoe?
Because now she's made a complete ass of herself (in front of her kids, my kids, my H and H's parents.) Dumbass.
(The question is what I would ask him, not what I would actually do)
> There was a man who felt bad about himself. > He needed an ego boost, someone to be attracted to him, to make him feel good about himself. > To fill a gap in his life. > You said you could "add" something special to his life.

I'd probably also ask her if it sucks REAL bad to know that she only got her coveted 'prize' by default - my ex begged me numerous times to change my mind and stay when I was making plans to leave. I told him 'no,' so he went to Plan B - the fat-ass whore.

Clearly she has some issues.
I don't understand why it is reactivated. She hasn't tried to contact me, but i keep wanted to ask her more questions. It has been a month since DDay, and almost a month since the last message I've sent to her. For some reason I want more answers but I don't even know what questions I want answers to...
Was it worth it?
Was it worth destroying our marriage, my kids, and our extended families?
Was it worth the pain and heartache of the destruction/divorce she caused in the other family?
Was it worth her integrity?
Was it worth poisoning our memories and our favorite places we had?
Was it worth desecrating our marriage vows and shredding the Ten Commandments?
Yep, of all of the things I asked, and she answered, this is what it boils down to.,,
Four simple words..........

I decided a while back that there is only a finite amount of room in my head, and there are too many wondrous things in the world for me to reserve a permanent space in my head for the OM.

Bois Forte Band receives $1 million grant to help build medical, dental clinic
The Bois Forte Band of Chippewa has received a $1 million grant to help build a medical and dental clinic planned for the Lake Vermilion portion of the reservation.By: News Tribune staff, Duluth News Tribune
The Bois Forte Band of Chippewa has received a $1 million grant to help build a medical and dental clinic planned for the Lake Vermilion portion of the reservation.
The grant is coming from the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community in Prior Lake, Minn.
"We are happy to be able to help tribes improve their facilities so that they can better provide services for their members," Shakopee tribal Chairman Charlie Vig said in a news release Tuesday.
This is the second $1 million grant the Sioux Community has made for the project, which will build a new medical and dental clinic of about 10,500 square feet next to the Vermilion Community Center. The existing clinic space of 1,200 square feet will be converted to offices for tribal government departments. The estimated cost of the project is $4 million, with Indian Health Service money paying about half.
"With the new clinic, we will be able to provide lab services on-site, increase hours for our part-time medical provider and increase health-care services in the clinic from the current three days per week to five days per week," Bois Forte Chairman Kevin Leecy said.
"Diabetes education and the WIC clinic will now have room to meet with
patients rather than require patients to travel to another location."
Previous SMSC grants to Bois Forte have paid for an administration building, health clinic, quick lube center and car wash and associated infrastructure improvements at the tribe's Y-Store near the Vermilion Lake Reservation, the Lake Vermilion Community Wellness Center and land purchases.
