 | One Medicine, Cross-Species We count on our canine friends for a lot. Friendship, companionship, even safety. Now, as the study of animal diseases continues to show promise for improving human health, we can appreciate our dogs for something more: the physiological similarities we share. At the College of Veterinary Medicine, faculty are studying the benefits of high-energy radiation therapy for tumor treatment in dogs. If the therapy shows some benefit in animals, it likely will be successful in treating human cancers. |
 | Quinoa and my Cat { Σn } I sadly report that Quinoa was laid to rest on 10/27/2008 after I determined with the assistance of her Vet that her Thyroid and other conditions had made her quality of life drop to the point of little hope of easing her increasing suffering. I was torn with the hardest decision of my life to end her suffering via lethal injection. I am so heartbroken as I write this I can hardly see through my tears. She gasped her last breath at around 4:20 PM on my 48th birthday. She was around 16-18 years of age. I have a hole in my heart right now that feels like it is killing me. She was not my pet. She was like a wheelchair and a soulmate all in one little darling creature that helped keep me half sane. Most people don't understand the kind of love I speak of. I received the following sympathy card in the mail on Thursday 10-30-08 postmarked the 29th: College of Veterinary Medicine Oregon State University 200 Magruder Hall Corvallis, Oregon 97331-4801 In Memoriam Dear Mark, The College of Veterinary Medicine recently learned from the doctors and staff at Milner Veterinary Hospital that your cherished cat, Quinoa, passed away. In recognition of your loss, they made a generous donation to the Pet Memorial Program at the Oregon State University College of Veterinary Medicine. The Pet Memorial Fund supports scholarships for veterinary students at OSU. This gift will help insure that OSU students gain the education and skills necessary to be caring and competent veterinarians. Companion animals are dear members of our families; their loss hurts. We can't replace the bond between you and Quinoa, but we hope you will find some solace in knowing that the friendship and feeling you shared with Quinoa is being extended to other animals through the Pet Memorial Program. Please accept our sympathy, -- signed -- Cyril R. Clark Lois Bates Acheson Dean ----------------------- I used to eat Quinoa salad from a natural food store deli near my house when I first brought my cat home from the Humane Society. One of the deli workers gave me the suggestion to name her Quinoa because the deli workers had nicknamed me the Quinoa man. Quinoa is a wonderful superfood. I have a playlist with some interesting videos about it here on youtube which you can check out here: http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=70F9A79938599271 My cat is a sweet cat and I think she is so beautiful she reminds me of a stunningly pretty woman.

Quinoa is not a true grain, even though it is used as such. It is the fruit of an herb from the goosefoot family and thrives in areas where there is very little rain, high altitudes, thin cold air, hot sun, or poor soil. Yet, in spite of these many adverse climate conditions, quinoa thrives, growing to heights of six feet or more. Native to Peru, quinoa was once a cherished food of the Inca, and later banished by the conquering Spanish. Of all the foods found in South America, it was quinoa that disturbed Pizarro the most -- mainly because it was used in their religious ceremonies. Pizarro felt the highly sophisticated Indian culture represented a threat to Spanish colonization. To bring the Incas under his control, he banned the growth of quinoa, making it illegal to grow even a small amount of the grain. Instead, he had them plant vegetable gardens, which promptly shrivelled at the first blast of icy winds from the Andes. Next, Pizarro decreed that the Indians should become more "civilized" and ordered them to grow barley in order to make the European beer. He also imported livestock so that the Incas would learn to eat meat and discard their vegetarian ways. But, the cattle languished in the fields, the sheep lay down with the llamas, and the Incas quietly ate mushrooms instead. After years of raiding the altiplano, where Pizarro suspected that quinoa was secretly growing, he developed weak lungs and a cough that turned his once booming voice into a whisper. Realizing his defeat, Pizarro left Peru forever, leaving the mountain mushrooms to dry up in the valleys and the quinoa seed to sprout once again all over the land.
