   What is Hip Dysplasia Dixie's Case X-Ray Evidence      |
Dixie's CaseThe most dramatic anecdotal evidence came from a case involving a one year old black Labrador Retriever named Dixie. Dixie was experiencing severe pain and limited mobility and the subsequent x-ray diagnosis was severe hip dysplasia with sub-luxation of the left hip. Conventional treatment to control the pain was of limited benefit and euthanasia was suggested. In desperation the owner placed Dixie on AMAIZE™ and in three weeks Dixie was much improved and the pain medication was discontinued. In three months Dixie's mobility was greatly improved, and by one year she was pain free and appeared clinically normal except that she did not jump as much as she did prior to developing the condition. A follow up x-ray taken after one year of daily AMAIZE™ supplementation was quite remarkable. The expected degeneration of both hips with accompanying arthritic changes had not occurred - a very unexpected result. The right hip was much improved, the head of the femur had grown significantly, as had the acetabulum.(hip socket) The articular surfaces of the joint were in normal apposition and free of any arthritic changes. The joint had remodeled and appeared to regenerating. The left hip showed improvement but appeared to be still misaligned. A ruptured round ligament at the time of the original sub-luxation of this hip that had not healed, was thought to be the reason for the continued misalignment. Dixie's x-rays do not prove scientifically that Amaize was responsible for her improvement. But the comprehensive anecdotal evidence accumulated with the AMAIZE™ formulation does suggest that nutrition may play an important roll in the progression of arthritic disease. This evidence so encouraged us, that we decided to develop a nutritional formulation with the known nutritional substances necessary to build and maintain healthy joints - AMAIZE AHD™.
