cerebellum, we were able to see the effect of the disease. From the point of entry, the virus travels along nerves to the spinal cord and then to the brain, where it multiplies. From there, it travels along other nerves such as the facial nerve to the salivary glands and into the saliva. This causes ptyalism which means there’s more of a chance of contamination. When working with the immunologist, we were able to determine that both humans and bats, which are immune, have a mutation. The…

eaters do not have claws, perspire through skin pores, no sharp teeth, but flat rear molars for grinding, have an intestinal tract ten to twelve times their body length, have stomach acid twenty times weaker than a meat eater, well-developed salivary glands, which are necessary to pre-digest, grains and fruits, and have alkaline saliva with ptyalin to pre-digest grains (Celestial Healing). We can also see that animals who eat meat do not get diseases or health issues that humans do from eating…

Austin, Suchar, Robbins, and Hagerman found that browsers produce more tannin binding proteins in their saliva when compared to grazers (1989). This is the case in the Okapi who have enlarged salivary glands that produce tannin binding proteins (Clauss, Hummel, Völlm, Lorenz, & Hofmann, 2006). Although it is typically thought that tannins only affect non-ruminants, researchers have found that tannin content in feedstuffs can have a negative effect…
