MISC ║ ask the petxpert<br />
We are constantly asked why all the<br />
cutting edge protocols and “treatments”<br />
developed or introduced<br />
by us actually work and involve going back<br />
to nature? We understand that all disease is<br />
caused by only two things, deficiency (malnutrition)<br />
and toxicity (poison). We understand<br />
that correcting those two things will allow the<br />
body to heal. Nature has provided our planet<br />
with everything humans and pets alike need<br />
to survive, such as water and food sources<br />
from animals, poultry, fish and even plants.<br />
Our quest to find optimal health and healing<br />
has opened many doors leading to the<br />
healthiest foods and diets for all creatures<br />
along with the healthiest and most beneficial<br />
micro-foods such as herbs, spices and botanicals<br />
that provide micro-nutrients and detoxification<br />
for the body. It is most important that<br />
all of these products get the proper preparation<br />
in order to achieve their best benefit.<br />
Due to recent changes in government<br />
regulations, we are now able to use and<br />
provide one of natures’ miracle food components,<br />
cannabidiol hemp oil, otherwise<br />
known as “CBD” Oil or “CBD” Hemp Oil. Unlike<br />
it’s cousin, these hemp oil products are<br />
non-psychoactive. In hemp, CBD dominates<br />
the plant’s makeup. CBD interacts with the<br />
body’s naturally occurring systems, but is<br />
ask the petXpert<br />
What is CBD and how does it<br />
benefit our pets?<br />
These pets are available for adoption<br />
non-psychotropic, it doesn’t contain THC or<br />
cause a high. This makes it safe and offers<br />
significant health benefits.<br />
So many of our pets and even family<br />
members suffer from cancer, anxiety, pain,<br />
stress, post-surgery discomfort, inflammation,<br />
allergies, asthma, neurological disorders,<br />
seizures, drug withdrawal, appetite<br />
suppression, insomnia and more. Found in<br />
all mammals, the endocannabinoid system is<br />
made up of millions of cannabinoid receptor<br />
sites located primarily throughout the brain<br />
and central nervous system (CB1 receptors)<br />
and immune system (CB2 receptors) that act<br />
in neural communication.<br />
CBD interacts within the body through<br />
the endogenous cannabinoid system (ECS)<br />
or endocannabinoid system. Discovered in<br />
the late 1980’s, the endocannabinoid system<br />
regulates the body’s homeostasis, or general<br />
state of balance, impacting such functions as<br />
mood, sleep, appetite, hormone regulation,<br />
along with pain and immune response. It also<br />
increases oxygenation of the blood which is<br />
important especially when exercising.<br />
We are finding that when CBD is used in an<br />
integrated nutritional program of species appropriate<br />
diets, natural herbs and botanicals,<br />
it promotes healing and relief of unwanted<br />
symptoms. Many of the challenges mentioned<br />
above suddenly, without warning or<br />
even medical understanding just disappear.<br />
As we have stated here and in the past,<br />
nature has answers that many have not explored<br />
and can do amazing things. Foods<br />
bring us nutrients but also remove toxins<br />
which is why vomit and diarrhea are<br />
healthy responses, not an illness. The understanding<br />
of the biodynamics of the body,<br />
whether it be ours or those of our pets<br />
and even the animals that we use for food,<br />
is critical. We need to require our doctors<br />
and veterinarians to be versed and able to<br />
explain biodynamics to us. If not, then we<br />
need seek those that can.<br />
We all want our pets and families to be<br />
healthy. Everyone deserves it and it can be<br />
achieved through a healthier protocol minus<br />
the excessive use of medicine, pharmaceuticals<br />
and chemicals manufactured and promoted<br />
by corporations primarily to enhance<br />
their business model.<br />
