 Forty years ago pets lived to 15–20 years and more. Today the
average life
span of a
Golden Retriever is just 7 years. Forty years ago pets rarely got
human degenerative
diseases such as diabetes,
cancer and
autoimmune disorders. A
recent study (2005, Morris
Animal Foundation) showed nearly 50% of older pets will die from
cancer. Dr. Martin Goldstein,
DVM, a holistic vet in N.Y., told us he now sees
puppies under 1 year old with cancer.
Why are our pets now experiencing
illnesses of epidemic proportions?Early in his 35-year practice,
Alfred Plechner, DVM, “…became dissatisfied
with just
treating the superficial signs of health problems…the conventional
treatment I trained
for at veterinary school had little impact on
pets seemingly
more susceptible to disease
and allergies and who seemed to be living shorter
and sicker lives.” (Plechner, DVM,
Alfred,
Pets at Risk: From Allergies to
Cancer, Remedies for an Unsuspected Epidemic,
New Sage Press, 2003, p. 3.) Dr. Plechner’s frustration led him to use his own time and
money on clinical
research to discover why this was happening. He uncovered a hidden
adrenal gland
defect that caused an endocrine-immune system imbalance. His research
showed
this endocrine-immune system dysfunction was caused primarily by poor genetics
and over-breeding with a poor nutritional diet of dry kibbles, environmental
pollutants,
stress and age being secondary factors. With a deficient immune
system, our pets are
subjected to seemingly unrelated diseases and a silent
epidemic including, but not limited to:
This hidden adrenal gland defect causes the adrenal glands to not manufacture
enough cortisol hormone or
the cortisol produced is bound (inactive). Cortisol
is a powerful anti-inflammatory and helps the body deal
with stress and
infections. This defect, in turn, causes a domino-effect producing too much
estrogen and not
enough thyroid hormones. When the endocrine (hormonal) system
is out of balance the end result is low
antibodies and a poor immune system.
Dr. Plechner developed a special blood test (the standard veterinary
blood test will not show this) to
detect this hidden defect in
the adrenal glands—his Basic Endocrine-Immune One tests for cortisol, total
estrogen, thyroid hormones T-3 & T-4, and IgA, IgM and IgG antibodies. If the
cortisol level is low, estrogen
level high, thyroid hormones low and antibodies
are low, he
 suspects the animal has this hidden defect.
Dr. Plechner’s solution
is a protocol of physiological (low dosage) injections (or oral medication) of
cortisone
to boost up the adrenal glands. He also found it necessary to give low
doses of thyroid hormone to 90% of his
dogs and 10% of his cats. Once the
endocrine system is back in balance, the immune system kicks in and all
the
disease symptoms disappear. Unfortunately, the animal must stay on this low
dose of hormone replacement protocol for life.

Dr. Plechner was able to treat autoimmune disease, cancer, kidney & liver
disease, epilepsy, obesity and
even behavioral problems in dogs. In cats, Dr.
Plechner successfully treated FIP (Feline Infectious
Peritonitis),FIV (Feline
Immunodeficiency Virus), FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus) and urinary tract
disorders. Dr. Plechner claims up to a 70% cure ratio using his hormone
replacement protocol. One of the most prevalent but overlooked symptoms of the imbalance is
malabsorption and
digestive tract disorders (e.g.,
inflammatory bowel disease). If
the endocrine-immune imbalance is present,
the IgA antibodies that normally
operate in the mucus membranes of the gut go out of control and sometimes even
attack the
body itself. The walls of the gut then become inflamed and thicken
for protection. With the gut’s defense system compromised,
harmful bacteria and
other bad microorganisms can attack. When this happens, nutrients, supplements,
as well as medication to
treat the disease are not absorbed by the body and exit
the other end. This is one reason why positive results may not be seen
using the
best holistic remedies and even medication. One must correct the
endocrine-immune imbalance first, so that the
mucus lining of the gut returns to
normal and then the body can absorb nutrients again and heal itself.
Another vet, Michael W. Fox, MRCVS, has done research (Fox, MRCVS, Michael
W., “Endocrine Disruption Syndrome,” Journal of the
American Holistic Veterinary
Medical Association, Oct.-Dec. 2005, pp. 33-35) on endocrine disrupting
compounds (EDCs) that he feels
is the primary cause of what he calls Endocrine
Disruption Syndrome. These endocrine disrupting compounds are so prevalent in
our
environment they are even found in human breast milk and Arctic seals. EDCs
can be found not only in industrial pollutants, chemical
fertilizers, and
untreated sewage but also in common household products such as plastics,
clothing, floor material and the lining of
food cans. Dr. Fox believes these EDCs make their way into animal’s food and water and then disrupt the animal’s
entire endocrine
and immune systems function causing the same epidemic symptoms
as mentioned previously by Dr. Plechner.
No matter what the cause (genetic, EDCs, poor nutrition, etc.) it would seem
the answer to holistic wellness is to balance the entire
endocrine and immune
systems so that the body can take care of the symptoms. So, holistically,
instead of artificially boosting up the
adrenals and thyroid (secondary glands),
if we could feed and energize the primary glands of the brain (i.e., pineal,
pituitary and
hypothalamus) we could accomplish the same end results as Dr. Plechner’s protocol. Once the master glands of the brain are 100%
functional,
they would then regulate not only the adrenals and thyroid but every other gland
and organ of the body. This promotes
holistic wellness and all symptoms of
disease should take care of themselves. We have discovered a holistic, whole
food product
that can nutritionally support this process—BioPreparation for pets
(BioSuperfood for people).
 BioPreparation is a proprietary blend of two algae and two Spirulinas based
on over 30 years of research. BioPreparation is not an
extract or assemblage of
isolated supplements but instead a whole food product formulated by Nature.
Since algae are one celled
organisms, BioPreparation supplies the body with
super nutrition at the cellular level to wake up and energize the body and
brain.
Little digestion is necessary, so, within 30 minutes of ingesting
BioPreparation, the hormone levels in the brain can be seen to
increase. Once
the body’s hormonal (endocrine) system is activated, the immune system becomes
100% functional and the natural
ability of the body to heal will take over.
By addressing the cause of the problem (malfunctioning endocrine glands)
rather than the symptoms, BioPreparation is a revolutionary
product providing a
quantum leap in wellness. We have seen dogs that had
immune mediated hemolytic
anemia (IMHA) and one with
a mast cell cancer tumor make a complete recovery.
Other conditions we have seen improve include skin and coat issues,
kidney and
liver disease, arthritis
and flexibility issues, adrenal and thyroid imbalances,
chronic infections and any
illness unresponsive to conventional therapies. We
know this product is completely holistic because unlike allopathic medicine, as
the body naturally
heals itself, a smaller dosage is needed by animals.
Even if your pet doesn’t have symptoms of the above diseases, if you want to
keep your pet healthy, try this holistic approach.
Most commercial
pet food (dry
kibble or canned) lacks the nutrition for a healthy carnivore. And all cooked
food, whether pet food
or home-cooked, lacks enzymes because heat kills enzymes.
BioPreparation contains over 4,000 enzymes, vitamins A, B1–B12, C, E,
and K,
Essential Fatty Acids of Omega 3, 6 and 9, all essential amino acids, phytonutrients and anti-oxidants 1000 times more powerful
than vitamin E. Rather
than being added in a laboratory, these nutrients naturally occur in the algae
in the dosage and form that Nature
intended. So, there is no risk of over dosing
or imbalance as may occur with traditional vitamin supplements. Supplying this
super
nutrition will not only keep your pet healthy but give your pet the
Fountain of Youth.
Dr. Plechner mentions in his book the implications of his findings for
treating chronic illnesses in humans. Dr. William Jefferies has
been using low
dosage cortisone for decades on human patients with the same success. Dr.
Jefferies believes this therapy can help
humans with allergies, chronic fatigue,
and autoimmune disorders including rheumatoid arthritis. Consider these final
facts.
The feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) involves a retrovirus similar to HIV
in humans. Dr. Plechner had a 70% recovery rate using his
hormone balancing
protocol. Could this be part of the answer to human HIV?
Every animal that Dr.
Plechner treated for
cancer
had this endocrine-immune system imbalance. Could we
treat and prevent cancer by correcting this hidden adrenal gland defect
and
balancing the endocrine-immune systems?
