Re: Stage 3 (Dry Season)

Formica, Why call this an experiment? It's clearly not. You have already drawn your conclusions. You have no control group, no baseline to work with and you don't know what normal is, bloodwork or otherwise.
It's hilarious to me that you think this has never been done and that you are the first, this is what ALL newbies who think their serious do, trust me I know 'cause I did it too.
Problem is experience kinda throws a wrench in all the nonsense you propose.
This is the vicious cycle that results in the captive death of monitors. Before any of the useful techniques can be established, newbs such as yourself decide it's up to them to reinvent the wheel. Now I'm the first to point out the difference between the wheels on an ancient chariot and the tires on a formula one race car....problem is you still have to learn to drive. You don't even have your learners permit Formica, yet you want to speed...I'll watch from the sidelines as the wheels fall off!
Good luck.

I have not drawn conclusions, I have hypothesized about what may or may not happen, and outlined my plan to test it, and described the limitations of what I am trying to do and the limitations of any possible analysis or conclusions.

If you have done this, I would be interested to hear about it. It would be very useful not just to myself, but also the myriad of other people who have asked the same questions - the reason I am posting this on this website, is because I want input from experienced people, I am not doing this and ignoring what people say - the only thing I am questioning, is the belief that a major part of a Savs life cycle is not important, because no scientific evidence has been presented to say it is so, and there is a huge amount of evidence to suggest that it probably is important, but overlooked. I am not attacking anyones practices, I am asking valid questions, for which no one is willing to provide any answer other than ''your a newbie you dont have any right to question it''.

I do not need to know what baseline blood test results should be, I am not trained in blood analysis, thats what I am paying the specialist for, he will tell me what they should be, what they are, and how/if they have changed.

I would like to hear what you did when you tried this, you are the first person to say that you have tried it, i'd like to know what you did and how, and what the outcomes where, and how you measured them. I'm sure I am not the only person who would find that interesting and valuable information.
