Abstract

It is widely known that many of cats die from kidney disease. Even if cats are fed a low-sodium diet, kidney function will always decline with age. Until now, the cause of kidney disease in cats has been completely unknown.

However, Dr. Toru Miyazaki, the author of this book, discovered the blood protein called "AIM (Apoptosis Inhibitor of Macrophage)" and elucidated that cats suffer from kidney disease because AIM doesn't function properly.

Since AIM's malfunction leads to kidney disease, it naturally follows that supplementing AIM should prevent its onset. If this AIM medicine for cats have been developed, cats may live to be even 30 years old, twice the current average lifespan.

This is tremendous good news for cat lovers. Furthermore, AIM is expected to be effective not only for felines but also for humans, and to be used not only for kidney disease but also for Alzheimer's disease, autoimmune disease, and other diseases that have been said to be "incurable".
