We can’t believe the stories our clients<br />
tell us when they seek our<br />
help! It’s similar to when they<br />
visit the veterinarian or even their own<br />
doctor, all understanding and common<br />
sense that they have goes out the window.<br />
Today, a very distressed pet parent came<br />
seeking solutions for her 4-year old large<br />
dog suffering from “allergies.” She said to<br />
me, “I’m watching my pet dying in front<br />
of my own eyes.” The dog has been slowly<br />
declining for several years. Its’ body is full<br />
of bleeding sores from constant itching,<br />
scratching and biting of itself. The ears and<br />
body smell of yeast. This owner has spent<br />
thousands of dollars for “healthcare” only<br />
to see some temporary relief when various<br />
toxic drugs are prescribed and the return<br />
of the symptoms. Unfortunately this is the<br />
perfect business model that keeps the field<br />
of conventional medicine profitable.<br />
Because of our love for all animals, we<br />
have spent many years researching a better<br />
way to nurture and provide optimal<br />
life for all pets. Disease is not caused by a<br />
lack of drugs or medicine. Our pet’s health<br />
is the sum of everything going into their<br />
bodies. Exposure to improper food, drugs,<br />
treatments and chemicals accumulate in<br />

the body until it starts to break down. As is<br />
our practice, we focus on the diet. In fact,<br />
when a natural species appropriate diet is<br />
fed to your pets, the immune and metabolic<br />
requirements are met and support good<br />
health. In anultimately raw or even lightly<br />
cooked form, theywill providethe building<br />
blocks for optimal health making all medicine<br />
and drugs unnecessary.<br />
As I explained all to this pet parent, she<br />
wept. She knew what she should be doing<br />
but gave way to the “expert” that she<br />
trusted. She then asked me,“What I should<br />
do about my vet?” I asked, “What do you<br />
mean?” Her vet had called her to come<br />
in again and try yet another new drug. If<br />
the advice and treatments aren’t working,<br />
why would she go back? Many people<br />
are afraid to go forward and believe in<br />
themselves. These particular pet owners<br />
had already done the research by educating<br />
themselves on diet which is why they<br />
came to see us. They are also friends with<br />
another client of ours with the same breed<br />
of dog twice the age of theirs and has been<br />
following our system. Both are astounded<br />
in the difference between the two dogs.<br />
So, their eyes see, their brain knows and<br />
yet they still hesitate. Do you think adding<br />
These pets are avAILABLE for adoption<br />
more drugs with numerous side effects or<br />
doing more tests will provide the same results<br />
they see in their friend’s pet?<br />
Plenty of damage has been done to this<br />
pet in the name of medicine. Probiotic and<br />
botanical foods will eliminate the yeast as<br />
will bathing with detoxifying salts and a<br />
botanical shampoo. Changing to a nutrient<br />
dense, easy to digest diet which includes<br />
appropriate herbs and botanicals will<br />
detoxify and give the body the energy it<br />
needs to heal. It is a process to heal naturally<br />
and to maintain that health. Most<br />
pets respond with noticeable improvements<br />
within days.<br />
We are all looking for the answers in a<br />
safer, more natural way. The answer has<br />
always been there in nature. Just look!<br />
And if you can’t see it or if you need help<br />
in understanding, we are here to help and<br />
also thank you for reading this column every<br />
month.<br />
