Pet Food RecallsIn July, 2018, the FDA began an investigation into reports of canine dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in pets eating certain foods, many "grain-free" labeled, that contained a high proportion of peas, lentils, other legume seeds (pulses), and/or potatoes in various forms (whole, flour, protein, etc.) as main ingredients. We have heard that some large pet food manufacturers and some traditional Western veterinarians are recommending pet parents avoid "BEG" diets — Boutique companies, Exotic ingredients or Grain-free diets. Before you panic, read our truly holistic perspective in previous newsletters:
The pet food recalls continue. The best "wholistic" suggestion to prevent danger to your pet is -- STOP feeding dry kibble dog food. In our "wholistic" opinion, dry kibble dog food is the least nutritious form of food to feed a carnivore. Furthermore, a majority of all pet food recalls is with dry food. Canned food, freeze-dried food and raw food have a much lower percentage of recalls. For the latest recalls, go to: Dog Food Recalls or FDA website To read more on our "wholistic" philosophy on pet food, go to the following links:

Seasonal Symptoms ReturnA common scenario in the fall (or spring) is a client's or pet's allergy symptoms return, in spite of the following:
Why do these seasonal allergy symptoms return? People tend to use holistic products like drugs: they just use them long enough to achieve an absence of symptoms. Based on this Western medical paradigm, most people assume an absence of symptoms means the illness is "cured." We see all too often people either decrease the high initial amount needed to produce results or stop the product altogether before the body is completely balanced, therefore, the symptoms return. With the return of allergy symptoms in the fall (or spring), this wholistically points to four possible reasons. One did not give enough of the isolated supplement(s) to be able to regenerate new cells and totally rebuild gland and organ functions. Most people increase an isolated supplement up to the point where symptoms start to get better. Or they just follow their manufacturer's or vet's suggested generic recommendations during allergy season. They do this to avoid side effects, overdosing or just to save money. We holistically suggest taking or giving to your pet more nutrition than is needed to just keep the symptoms away. The optimum "wholistic" amount may be different for each body according to their genetics, childhood or pethood environment, diet, lifestyle, vaccination history, etc. As soon as symptoms disappear, instead of decreasing or eliminating the isolated supplement, we suggest giving more whole food nutrition than is needed to just keep the symptoms away. Using our whole food products, this provides the body excess nutrition to rebuild every deficient gland and organ for a complete and balanced immune/endocrine systems. Discover more on this holistic concept in our newsletters: How Much Do I Take/Give? and Am I Getting/Giving Enough? The isolated supplements (or drugs) just treated the symptoms and did not balance the original cause. Most isolated supplements contain an extract or concentrate of active ingredients to just treat the symptoms. When the supplement is stopped, symptoms return because the original cause was not balanced. On the other hand, our whole food products nourish and balance ALL the glands and organs of the WHOLE body. Therefore, it will be the body/brain that normalizes the symptoms and NOT the product. For a totally balanced endocrine system, the pituitary (master gland), pineal, hypothalamus, adrenals, thyroid, etc. must all be normalized. Discover more on this "wholistic" concept on our web pages, Vitamin C and Supplement Stopped, Symptoms Return. One did not give the isolated supplements long enough. Most people either decrease or discontinue isolated supplements 2-4 weeks after symptoms disappear, mistakenly thinking the problem is "cured." While this short time may be enough to neutralize the symptoms, the body's time needed to regenerate new cells and rebuild gland and organ function is much longer. Nature and the individual's body condition will determine the exact time needed. If a body has had symptoms since youth and is now 5 years old, this regeneration and rebuilding process cannot be reversed in 6 months, when the body has had 5 years of imbalance and degeneration occurring. People discover this when they discontinue giving an isolated supplement or drug and the symptoms come back a few weeks later. Or the pet still has "seasonal" symptoms and is fine (symptom-free) the rest of the year. It can take 4, 6...12 months or more for certain glands and organs to be regenerated by the body. Uncover more on this holistic concept in our newsletter, It Takes 9 Months/Weeks. Avoiding allergens with special allergy diets does nothing to normalize the immune system and balance the cause. While people or their pet may get relief from the allergy symptoms, the body's glands and organs need adequate nutrition to regenerate new healthy cells and rebuild their normal functions. Allergy diets are particularly short on the full spectrum nutrition that Nature meant our and our pets bodies to get. A healthy body has amazing recuperative and regenerative powers given the required nutrition from whole foods that Nature intended us (and our pets) to eat, adequate pure water and the proper amount of rest. In addition to these above factors, an imbalanced (sick) body must be given adequate time to successfully regenerate itself naturally and "wholistically". We suggest using whole food products that balance the WHOLE body, not isolated supplements that just alleviate symptoms. We also suggest taking/giving the whole food product long enough to allow the regeneration and rebuilding of the body's glands and organs, so the body is in perfect balance and the symptoms do not come back. STOP Supplementing Symptoms. |
