http://www.chrcrm.org/en/true-story A True Story | Canadians for Health Research | Les Canadiens pour la recherche medicale - All the facts you need to know about animals and biomedical research. A four-colour illustrated monograph that provides a matter-of-fact presentation on animals and medical research.

http://www.chrcrm.org/en/importance-animals-research The Importance of Animals in Research | Canadians for Health Research | Les Canadiens pour la recherche medicale - A 7-part series on the contribution of various animal models to medical progress reproduced with the permission of the Foundation for Biomedical Research.

http://www.chrcrm.org/en/cats-and-research Cats and Research | Canadians for Health Research | Les Canadiens pour la recherche medicale - Although cats represent less than 1 percent of the animals used in biomedical research each year, their contributions to various fields of medicine are numerous. What follows are some examples of past medical advances and current research using cats. ACQUIRED IMMUNE DEFICIENCY SYNDROME (AIDS)

http://www.chrcrm.org/en/dogs-and-research Dogs and Research | Canadians for Health Research | Les Canadiens pour la recherche medicale - Although dogs represent less than 1 percent of the animals used in biomedical research each year, their contributions to various fields of medicine are numerous. What follows are some examples of recent and ongoing research using dogs. HEART AND LUNGS Because their cardiovascular and respiratory systems resemble those of a human being, dogs have been instrumental to our current understanding of the functions and diseases of these organs.

http://www.chrcrm.org/en/mice-and-research Mice and Research | Canadians for Health Research | Les Canadiens pour la recherche medicale - Along with rats and other rodents, mice make up the majority of animals used for medical research. Their small size, low cost and ease in handling make them ideal for laboratory experiments. In addition, scientists can breed different strains of mice with natural genetic deficiencies to achieve models of human diseases. The following are fields of medicine and research in which the use of mice has advanced understanding and show potential for cures. CANCER

http://www.chrcrm.org/en/primates-and-research Primates and Research | Canadians for Health Research | Les Canadiens pour la recherche medicale - Primates represent only about 1/3 of 1 percent of animals used in research. But during the last half century, research using primates has led to major medical breathroughs, most notably in the treatment of polio and Rh disease. Vaccines have reducing the cases of polio in the U.S. from 58,000 to one or two a year at present, and the development of RH immunoglobin has reduced cases of RH disease in babies to fewer than 16 in every 10,000. AIDS

http://www.chrcrm.org/en/rabbits-and-research Rabbits and Research | Canadians for Health Research | Les Canadiens pour la recherche medicale - The similarity between the physiology of rabbits and humans makes the rabbit a good model for the research of human disease. The following are examples of research in which the use of rabbits has benefited humankind. IMMUNE SYSTEM The ability to produce tumours in rabbits makes them useful models to study chemo/immunotherapy as well as immunoprevention of certain cancers.1 Rabbits have been used in the production of antibodies for a broad range of immunological studies. CHOLESTEROL STUDIES

http://www.chrcrm.org/en/rats-and-research Rats and Research | Canadians for Health Research | Les Canadiens pour la recherche medicale - Along with mice and other rodents, rats make up more than 90 percent of animals used for medical research. Because humans and rats are both mammals, they share many similarities in structure and function. In addition, their small sizes, low cost, ease in handling, and ability to breed in captivity make rats ideal for laboratory experiments. What follows are examples of biomedical research using rats. CANCER Rats have been used in various cancer studies because certain strains can develop cancer spontaneously, as well as by viral and chemical induction.

http://www.chrcrm.org/en/other-animals-and-research Other Animals and Research | Canadians for Health Research | Les Canadiens pour la recherche medicale - Although most research is done on rats and mice, some human biological and psychological characteristics are most closely resembled in other animals. PIGS have been instrumental in studying the healing process of burn victims. Pig skin serves as a temporary bandage that protects patients from infection and allows human skin to gereate.1

http://www.chrcrm.org/en/road-discovery Road to Discovery | Canadians for Health Research | Les Canadiens pour la recherche medicale - In the beginning.... There was a time in history when every ache and pain we felt was attributed to the gods. When the crops failed, a volcano erupted, the floods or the droughts came, or the locusts took over the land, it was always the gods at work again. They were mad about something. Some people felt there was nothing they could do about it, while some others, as history shows us, were willing to go to terrible lengths – even sacrificing other humans – in hopes of getting back in the gods’ favour.

Jane Kim - Excellent

Awesome rapid review. I did Kaplan firs then used this for a review. It puts things together and it's well organized

dan alvey - Sturdy construction, and despite the reviews I saw

Sturdy construction, and despite the reviews I saw, installation was very easy. I accidentally installed them backwards (they look like an airplane wing and should face that same way) and as the installation manual said, there is a noticeable wind noise if put in backwards. I was able to uninstall and reinstall with the correct orientation in about 15 minutes. The front bar is longer than the back but it is clearly marked on the underside of the bar which is which. End of the day, if you know how to use an Allen Wrench, this is an easy install. Was able to easily fit my Thule roof case to these. Recommend having a step stool while installing.

Tiffany M. - Worked after first dosage

These supplements really work! My supply dropped drastically, so I was looking for anything to help increase my milk production. I was eating oatmeal daily and drinking water like a fish, but it was not working. My little one started becoming noticeably frustrated while nursing, so I new it was time to donslmething or I would have to start supplementing with formula to ensure he was getting proper nourishment. I purchased these supplements and took the first dose on the evening of the packages arrival. I nursed my little one two hours later and it was crystal clear that there was an increase in my milk supply. I took the second dose five hours later (before bedtime) and again noticed an increase! My little one was nourished as needed and my frustration was halted immediately with this product, so I am very satisfied and recommend this product to any mommy that is struggling to produce adequate supply for their little one!

yrac - Perfect fit easy to install and at the right price

Perfect fit easy to install and at the right price. Very happy with the product and service. Well done !!!
