Oregon health and Science University  is practicing the barbaric act of using primates to test largely preventable human conditions: OBESITY & DIABETES.

Shiva and her colony which are mostly Rhesus Macaques are fattened up being fed daily with fattening foods, allowed no exercise, caged  and once obese enough, they test various drugs and procedures on them.

Dr Grove said: “Our research model is a sedentary lifestyle with calorically dense diets”

Monkeys in this facility receive daily painful insulin shots to treat the human inflicted diabetes, and some develop clogged arteries. One monkey already died from a heart attack at a very young age. The unfortunate primate that is going through this suffers between months and years for human conditions that can largely be prevented by eating a healthy diet, which is obvious from this information. They had to fatten up the monkeys with unhealthy foods to be able to test these preventable diseases.

This doesn’t stop there as some endure the painful gastric  bypass surgery and elevates to the point of killing these creatures to examine their brain and pancreas.

We are talking about a facility imprisoning over 4200 Rhesus Macaques monkeys in an unnatural environment for various "animal testing"

Rhesus Macaques are active and social creatures often enjoying life neighboring to humans at location of choice. They are wonderful swimmers and learn to handle the water at a tender age of 2 days old. They live on a kind herbivorous diet which is made up of a large variety of plant species

Rhesus Macaques have demonstrated a variety of complex  cognitive abilities, including the ability to make same-different judgments, understand simple rules, and monitor their own mental states. We humans share 93% of our DNA sequence with Rhesus Macaques, proving that we shared a common ancestor roughly 25 million years ago.

Besides the unnecessary testing on primates for a mostly  human caused preventable disease being immoral and void of compassion, Physicians Committee of Responsible Medicine  has proven that there are kinder alternatives.

For those with Diabetes: Here is valuable information to help yourself/loved ones. This method in preventing and reversing diabetes has not been tested on animals, does not involve risky medications which cause side effects, permanently make you depend on medication without actually even being cured, will save you a lot of money and allow you to take your health and life back.

For those with Obesity problems: Fighting Obesity is often self explanatory – though unfortunately difficult to understand and follow due to extremely poor eating habits the Western Diet became to be. Many of us are victims in the West and as we know this is spreading across developing countries as well. Diabetes is now affecting children as well. Obesity can lead to diabetes, heart disease, stroke, male impotence as well as cancer. This is a serious condition that can be easily reversed.

This method has also not been tested on animals, does not involve risky medications which cause side effects, saves you money and allows you to achieve optimal health.  

From Physicians committee of Responsible medicine: Fight Obesity
