misc | ask the petxpert BY Bill Piechocki Are My Pet’s Hormones Balanced? Hormones and minerals are essential building blocks for a healthier body. We hear about hormone issues in humans daily and see the plethora of drugs that are marketed for these issues. Your pets suffer from these same issues for a number of reasons that are sometimes caused by veterinarian recommended treatments and procedures. Are you surprised? To understand the issues that are created, we can start with disease, physical issues and behavior. Any time one’s hormones are out of balance, it cascades into all levels of mineral imbalances which we understand affects the whole body of all creatures including humans. The total endocrine system is affected by a single deficiency or imbalance. Let’s first look at the procedures that affect the hormone imbalance. We are led to believe that unless we “fix” our pets, they “will suffer and die from various cancers”. Nothing is further from the truth. Removing those organs causes the whole endocrine system to work harder to compensate for the missing body parts. Hence, as young as sometimes only months old, the pets’ body is already out of balance, challenged and damaged when it is in the process of developing and properly growing. This can cause physical deformities that challenge this growing body. It is true that you won’t get prostrate or uterine cancer if they are removed, Hypothetically, what if we removed the lungs in order to prevent lung cancer? This is not a good reason to do any of these procedures. They have lifelong consequences including thyroid issues. So now let’s look at the overwhelming number of chemical interventions as well. Vaccines, worming, preventative treatments, preservatives, flavors, synthetical hormones, vitamins, minerals and other supplements that are recommended by the poly-pharma medical industry. ALL of these products influence the overall health and balance of our pets. If a single exposure to any of these can influence the body, what is the result of this plethora of assaults that start at the beginning of this pets’ life. Over time, we can handle some of these vaccines, the worming, preventative treatments, preservatives, flavors, synthetical hormones, vitamins, minerals and other supplements contaminations of the body with specific detoxification foods and processes. It does take time because we need the body to replace the contaminated cells with new, healthy cells. We know different cells grow at various times and rates so we must be patient. We have quite a different challenge whenever we remove any body part for any reason. The systems of the body must and do have to alter normal function to compensate for the missing parts. It is amazing that the living body is able to even do this! To answer, we have whole food solutions that can support the body and the organs challenged to fight this bodily assault.
