I have been asked to add the entries indicated below by an asterisk at
the beginning of the line. This list represents a more organized list of
Foundations that do and do not experiment on animals.

As you can see, there are traditional organizations that directly
experiment or fund experimentation on animals and there are the
alternative medical organizations that do not. The existence of such
reputable medical and non-medical organizations such as those listed
below under the title "Private Health Foundations that do NOT Fund Animal
Experiments", shows that animal experimentation can be avoided in all
fields, including cancer.

A Happy Holiday Season to you all.
