Are Your Pet's Toys Poisoning Them?

5/1/2018

1 Comment

 
Picture
Cat's and dogs may love their toys, but many are made using cheap materials that can be quite harmful to our pets health. Sadly there aren't any standards to keep toxins out of pet toys.

It's up to the consumer to investigate the safety of a toy before giving it to their animal to play with.

Think about how your pet might carry their toys around in their mouth, lick them, lay on them, chew them and even sometimes swallow them - or pieces they have chewed off. If that toy contained a toxic substance then they are certainly getting exposed to it.

Uh-oh...Did You Break the Law???

4/22/2018

Our world operates on laws. I'm not talking about laws that humans have created. I'm referring to natural laws. Laws of of physics, laws of chemistry, laws of mathematics, etc. These laws have an impact on us whether we know about them or not. It does not matter if they are unknown to us or if we attempt to disregard them. They are are always present and always affecting us.

Take, for example, the Law of Gravity. The law of gravity affects everyone on earth. A baby puppy, when he takes his first steps on all 4 legs quickly learns about the law of gravity because when he falls, he falls DOWN and not UP!  The puppy does not know the name of the law of gravity, but he understands the consequences of it nonetheless.

Three Dogs in One!

Did you know that when a female dog is pregnant, the care she receives will directly impact three different generations? The mother dog, her puppies and the developing eggs inside of any female puppies she is carrying.

If the fetus in the diagram below goes on to have her own puppies, consider that any resulting female puppies she has would have been an egg inside their mother when she was in the womb herself.

Naturopathy or Allopathy?

4/8/2018

0 Comments

 
As medical systems, allopathy and naturopathy have opposing principles and use very different approaches. Just like you can’t be both a liberal and a conservative due to the conflicting standpoints, you similarly cannot subscribe to the principles of both allopathy and naturopathy. The core of your beliefs will place you in one camp or the other.

Conventional or allopathic medicine is the dominant medical model that most of us will be familiar with both in human and animal care.  Conventional medicine primarily relies on pharmacological drugs and surgery to suppress symptoms that manifest from disease processes. 

Picture
​The basic principle of allopathy is to oppose the symptom or disease. "The term 'allopathy' was invented by German physician Samuel Hahnemann, he joined the words allos 'opposite' and pathos 'suffering' as a reference to harsh medical practices of his era which included bleeding, purging, vomiting and the administration of highly toxic drugs. The treatment of opposites simply means finding the symptom, for example incessant itching, then drugs are used to disrupt the disease process that is resulting in the itching. The original cause of the itching has not been addressed, but the symptom has been suppressed, offering symptomatic relief to the animal.

What in the World is Animal Naturopathy?

​You might be familiar with the practice of Naturopathy as it applies to human care. Perhaps you have even sought out this type of service for yourself at some point. Naturopaths teach their patients how to live in a healthful manner and do not employ the use of surgery or prescription drugs.
​
Whether for people or animals, I would describe Naturopathy as a philosophy and system to prevent illness and promote health through the adherence to the laws of health and the use of natural agents to support inherent healing functions.
To get a clearer picture of Naturopathy let’s take a look at the six fundamental principles which are the foundation of this modality:

DIY Healing Salve

8/9/2017

0 Comments

 
Making your own remedies to support your pets and your own health is an empowering experience. 

Why would you want to take the time to make a healing salve? I can't say why YOU would want to you, but I can sure share with you why I choose to!
  •  I can customize exactly the type of results I am seeking by the ingredients I include in the salve.
  •  I have control of the ingredients and therefore know there is nothing harmful included without my knowledge.
  •  I prefer using naturally occurring plants and substances as opposed to pharmaceuticals synthesized in a lab.
  •  It is empowering and satisfying to make your own "medicine". 

Why not give it a try?

Removing Obstacles on the Path to Health

3/9/2017

The methods used to achieve improved vitality in our pets will consist of those modalities that the practitioner feels to be most appropriate under the individual circumstances.

​A fully natural diet of suitable wholesome foods, exercise, relaxation, sunlight, fresh air, pure water and a positive atmosphere are the minimum requirements. 

An obstacle to health can be thought of as anything in the environment that is not species appropriate or anything that otherwise blocks their physiological ability to attain health. If there are chemical, mechanical or emotional obstacles to healing these should be removed by appropriate techniques. Chemical obstacles may consist of drugs, unsuitable foods or environmental toxins. Mechanical obstacles may be structural by nature such as chiropractic subluxations. Emotional obstacles may be unhealed past trauma's expressed as fear or aggression.

The Link Between Bone Cancer and Fluoridated Water

Water is an essential element to our pet's health. They require fresh clean water daily. But water can also be a source of harmful substances to us and our pets.

Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral found in soil and water. In it's natural state it is harmless. But the fluoride that is added to water is a synthesized version, a byproduct of the aluminum and nuclear industries, categorized as a class 2 environment toxin.

Natural Pet Care: Why it is the ONLY path to true health

6/3/2016

5 Comments

 
Anyone who has been reading my blog or Facebook page can see that I am an advocate for raising animals naturally. I have reached this standpoint because of many personal experiences and much questioning, research, evaluation and critical thinking. There are certainly many benefits to feeding raw, skipping the antibiotics, chemical flea preventatives and vaccines. But what is so important to understand is WHY these choices make such a difference in the health of our animals.

So what I want to delve into today is how we perceive the means by which our pet's maintain their health and also identify the mechanisms that allow them to regain their health after illness. The truth of the matter is possibly quite different than what you currently believe.
