Since 2002, we have been using bio-algae concentrates (microalgae of Spirulina pacifica, Spirulina platensis, Dunaliella salina and astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis) with many dogs and cats that have recovered from AIHA, IMHA and other auto-immune diseases. Out of the 1150+ IMHA clients we have dealt with, many are still alive. We suspect a number of the remaining cases are still alive but unfortunately, most people treat whole food products just like supplements, in that they only give them as long as their pet has symptoms. When the pet totally recovers, they discontinue the product and never get back with us. To respect the privacy of the guardians and sensitivity of the subject, we have not followed up. Bio-algae concentrates are a nutritional food product and we advertise nothing more. However, as you can see by customers' testimonials, once their animal's natural ability to heal has been awakened by this superfood, the healing power of the animal's body is unlimited. We say unlimited because we have seen a mast cell cancer tumor (fastest spreading type of cancer tumor) disappear in ten weeks when chemotherapy and radiation treatments were declined. We have seen numerous IMHA and AIHA dogs make a full recovery, after the vets had given up on the dogs (blood cell count down to 6). In one case on the Yahoo Group Board, Jeanna literally saw improvement within 24-48 hours after giving bio-algae concentrates. We will leave it up to the reader to draw their own conclusions regarding this super nutritional product and Auto-Immune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA). How did bio-algae concentrates do this? Bio-algae concentrates simply supplied the super nutrients to the body at the cellular level (microalgae are one cell organisms) rather than trying to 'fix' the problem with drugs or a supplement that needs to be digested and broken down in the digestive tract. Since we are not medically trained, our guess (based on 20+ years of bio-algae concentrates animal research) is that bio-algae concentrates has the ability to stimulate the body's own natural ability to heal. When the body is holistically balanced and all the glands and organs are functioning at close to 100%, then the body can resume red blood cell production at the bone marrow level all by itself. When the master gland (pituitary), pineal and hypothalamus in the brain are synergistically working together, the bone marrow is naturally producing healthy red blood cells. We see very quick results after starting bio-algae concentrates. Bio-algae concentrates contains super nutrients (specifically abundant antioxidants in the form of mixed carotenoids from its four microalgae) that can awaken the master gland in the brain, which controls all the other glands and organs of the body and, of course, red blood cell production. Since no one knows exactly why IMHA and AIHA occur, boosting and balancing the whole body is the most holistic approach to the regeneration of red blood cells, which after all, is controlled by the brain. Based on our years of nutritional experience with the products, we can share a few lessons that we have learned to help you avoid any unpleasant circumstances. We have seen animal guardians give too much
bio-algae concentrates, too fast in the
beginning (in hopes of "healing" their pet quickly) with the initial results
being vomiting and/or diarrhea. While this is not a side effect of the product,
the results are unpleasant (for both the animal and guardian). In our holistic opinion, these signs show the
product is working by waking up the animal's natural ability to heal and purging
toxins from the body but the amount is more aggressive than the body can handle.
We suggest a beginning introduction of 1/2 capsule per day (1/4 morning + 1/4
evening) for small animals and 1.0 capsule per day (1/2 morning + 1/2 evening)
for large animals. In emergency cases where the animal is not eating and death
looks to be imminent, this could be accelerated to 1/2 capsule every 4 hours,
at the guardian's discretion. Here is a testimony for a dog whose blood cell count was down to 8.0% and and nearly dead (normal range is 37-55%). The dog is alive and well today, running in the Colorado mountains at 11,000 ft, three years and ten months later (January, 2008) after having been given a poor prognosis for survival by the vet. 1 Zhang Cheng-Wu, et. al.

Cali's TestimonialCali was due to have her puppies on February 10th of 2003 and about 1 week before she was due she fell over and got very weak. She was like this for about 3 days. I fed her chicken broth with an eye dropper. We took her to the vet and she was diagnosed with anemia. Her blood count was only 13 (40-45 is normal) and she lost her puppies. They gave her a blood transfusion and kept her overnight. She came home and we took her back a week later for her hysterectomy as the vet said she had a really bad infection. She had her operation and came home again. About 10 days later she fell over again and we took her back to the vet. At that time her blood count was at 8 and we were told to take her to Wheat Ridge Animal Hospital for another transfusion because they can only do one transfusion without blood typing. We rushed her over the mountain (from Snowmass), got her blood typed, started the transfusion and were told we could have killed her by taking her over the pass (the high elevation depletes more oxygen). While she was there they did a bone marrow biopsy and told us she had no red blood cells being made. After 4 days, and $7500 later, the vet told us she had Immune Mediated Hemolytic Anemia (IMHA)—Red Blood Cell Aplasia, her blood count was up to 14 but she could not go home and would probably die there. At that point they had her on 7 different immune suppressants including Prednisone (a steroid). I took Cali and all her drugs home anyway. We took her to the vet everyday for blood tests for about 2 months and she just wasn't getting any better. She was bloating up and had no strength or energy. She couldn't even go down the stairs by herself. I started to research the drugs and slowly pulled her off all but Prednisone. She started to act a little better but we still couldn't get her blood count above 17. Her liver was enlarged and she was full of fluid. Fortunately,
I met Alecia who introduced me to bio-algae concentrates
along with a natural diet of chicken or beef, rice and carrots mixed with
seaweed, garlic, acidophilus, and flax seed oil. We were still giving her
Prednisone for about 5 months and gradually weaned her off of it. She has been
off of Prednisone for about 9 months now and only eats her chicken or beef, rice
and a little garlic and is down to one capsule of bio-algae concentrates in the morning
and one at night (down from eight capsules per day at her peak). She has not
been to the vet for about 9 months because I felt so sorry for her getting poked
all the time that I just lift her lips up now and see if they are pink instead.
From what I can see, she is fully recovered. She is on a weight reduction
program now to lose the weight caused by the steroids. She now runs up the
mountain (10-11,000 ft. elevation) without stopping. Her blood count has doubled
to 35. This disease is 100% fatal according to CSU (Colorado State University)
studies. They are the leaders in the research of this disease. I am so thankful
I was introduced to your revolutionary holistic product, bio-algae concentrates, and for
saving Cali’s life. Update 12/2008:

IMHA Holistic Research-Survival Rate Our IMHA holistic research is opening up the doors for a natural, alternative way to help dogs, in addition to steroids, antibiotics and immune suppressant drugs that vets must prescribe. As more canine guardians started to find us, our survival rate started to increase dramatically. We did not start to keep accurate statistics until 2008. Optimum Choices handles approximately one IMHA/AIHA case per week. Our IMHA survival (recovery) success rate is shown below.

Which Formula to Order Suggested AmountsAt the onset of AIHA, we always suggest one start with the bio-algae concentrates formula with the most antioxidants and super nutrition that can nourish the brain. The antioxidants and super nutrition can actually cross the blood/brain barrier to awaken the master gland (pituitary) and brain's organs (pineal and hypothalamus). Normally, we would suggest a gradual introduction to bio-algae concentrates. However, if your pet is not eating, see the emergency suggestions at the bottom of our Saved Lives testimonial web page. After the blood count improves and stabilizes into the normal range, one can consider either reducing the high beginning amount or transitioning to the maintenance formula with more nutrition and less antioxidants if desired. This all depends on the age, genetics and recovery of the dog. While some of our testimonials have used the maintenance formula (because that is all they had) successfully, we still suggest starting with the advanced formula first. No one really knows the exact triggers for this deadly disease and a dog's condition can change in as little as four hours. Do you want to trust just using the maintenance formula with such a deadly disease? In AIHA cases, a balance must be achieved between giving too much, too fast and possibly giving enough to save a pet's life. Below are some general guidelines. Since each animal is different, it is left up to the animal's guardian, who is most familiar with the circumstances, which course of action to follow. Our basic rule of thumb is, one can give as much as the body can tolerate without exacerbating the current symptoms or causing detoxing symptoms to appear. Too much, too fast!If your dog has undergone recent surgery, is under any type of prescription drug program, undergoing chemotherapy/radiation treatment or has actively growing tumors, we suggest a very gradual introduction to bio-algae concentrates. We have seen both people and pets get too much bio-algae concentrates, too fast in the beginning (in hopes of "healing" quickly) with the initial results being vomiting and/or diarrhea. While this is not a side effect of the product, the results are unpleasant. In our holistic opinion, these signs show the product is working by waking up the body's natural ability to heal and purging toxins from the body but the amount is more aggressive than the body can handle. For any of the previously mentioned conditions, we suggest the following beginning amounts:
Hold this beginning amount for the above time interval and increase incrementally at the same time interval if the body adjusts without any problems. In emergency cases where the animal is not eating and death looks to be imminent, this could be accelerated to ½ capsule every 2-4 hours (depending on weight) based on a 12-hour day. It is best to mix the bio-algae concentrates into wet food but in extreme cases where the animal is not eating, pet guardians have mixed the microalgae in enough water to either make a paste applied in the mouth with your finger or squirted the mixture directly into the animal’s mouth with an eye dropper or syringe to stimulate the appetite (algae is a food). For squirting, one can mix approximately one capsule of microalgae powder in ¼ cup of water and administer with an eye dropper or syringe. Be careful not to squirt the water too far back into the throat or too forcefully, as to cause gagging or getting liquid into the lungs. Our rule of thumb is, give as much as the body can tolerate without exacerbating the current symptoms or causing detoxing symptoms to appear. If one wants to take action before bio-algae concentrates arrives, here is a suggestion based on our nutritional holistic experience. Go to the health food store and buy the best algae/Spirulina product you can, that has two or more species of algae in it. Alternatively, buy 2-4 single bottles with a single alga in them. Look for algae species such as Spirulina Pacifica, Spirulina Platensis, Dunaliella, Astaxanthin, blue-green algae, Hawaiian algae, chlorella and Aphanizomenon flos-aquae (AFA). Also, buy some liquid chlorophyll in either a dropper bottle or gel capsules. Mix equal parts of all the algae species you purchased into approximately ½ teaspoon total of algae and one dropper full (about 25 drops) of the liquid chlorophyll (or poke a hole in the gel capsule to squeeze the chlorophyll out). As above, use enough water to either make a paste applied directly into the mouth using your finger or enough water to squirt with an eye dropper or syringe. Our rule of thumb in emergencies is, give as much as the animal can tolerate without exacerbating the current symptoms or causing detoxing symptoms to appear. One can do this every four hours or so, depending on the severity of the symptoms and tolerance of the dog's body. Recent Anemia UpdatesOur very first anemia client was way back in 2002. Since then we have helped over 1300 anemia clients (mostly pets but some humans too). Below are subsequent newsletters articles containing the new holistic lessons we have learned. While not scientific proof, we thought our readers would benefit by our "wholistic" wisdom and knowing what holistic options are available, in addition to their current medical treatment.

Our 7 1/2 year old Beagle was diagnosed with IMHA yesterday, she
has not eaten in 3 days, I feel like I am watching her die
right now. The vet has her on Prednisone and Amoxicillin
as of yesterday, but I don't think she is even receiving the medication
as she throws up shortly after I give it to her. Vets said it was a
50/50 chance. I am feeding her with a syringe and carrying her
outside to potty. (08/28/2008 update) Rainbow's blood count is above normal and has been for over three months now. No other symptoms of IMHA present. She is doing absolutely great and we totally attribute it to your bio-algae concentrates, no doubt in our mind! We are just happy customers! If I could afford it I would be on it too, but since I am actually the "healthy" one in the family I just count my blessings.
****************************************************************************************************************************** When to discontinue drugsDrugs are certainly necessary in the acute stages of AIHA/IMHA to save the pet's life. As the body starts to recover, the brain tries to normalize the production of new red (anemia) and white blood cells (leukemia), along with platelets (thrombocytopenia or with IMHA-Evans Syndrome), to become healthy and balanced again. But this natural process can be inhibited if the immune system is still artificially suppressed from drugs. How does one strike a holistic balance? Here is what one client did.
On July 29th, 2018, my Chiweenie, Diesel (6 yrs., 8 lbs.), started acting weird: not playing, only wanting to lay down and lethargic. Also he didn't eat breakfast but ate some chicken and rice for dinner. I observed him for a day, thinking he just may have done too much that day but the next day he was still acting lethargic. I took him to my vet on July 30th. They said he was dehydrated and lethargic. They gave him IV fluids and said to try a certain Royal Canine food and see how he is the next day. I took him home and I just wasn't feeling right about their diagnosis because he was still just not acting right. So, a couple hours after being home with him just not looking right, I decided to check his gums and they were very white. I immediately took him to the hospital. They proceeded to do a bunch of testing: blood work, x-rays and ultrasound. Everything looked good other than elevated liver enzymes and anemia. He had a PCV (Packed Count Volume of red blood cells) level of 18, so the only conclusion they came to was that he had AIHA (Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia). His own immune system was attacking his red blood cells and his body couldn't keep up. The next day his red blood cell level was 10, so they recommended a blood transfusion. After monitoring him for another day he still wasn't good. He needed another transfusion. He stayed in the hospital for 6 days until they finally discharged him. They gave me 8 medications to dispense to him over a 2 hour period twice a day. I did that for the next 2 months.
After about a month he developed skin lesions all over his body. The vet recommended I see a specialist for his condition. The
specialist recommended stopping one of the meds., Atopica, and gave him
a fungal medication. She said he developed an opportunistic
fungal skin
infection. She said it was only the 3rd dog in 10 years that she seen
with this skin infection from the meds. I continued to see the
specialist for the next two months. In the meantime, I started looking
for an alternative treatment.
medication. Skin is doing well.
No breakouts or lesions. Just scars left from infection. 7 days later
PCV level is 44. So, I weaned Prednisone down to 1/8 once a day. So far,
Diesel is showing no signs of lethargy or white gums and he is engaging
more in playtime. He is able to jump up on the couch again and generally
seems happier. He's eating and drinking. The transformation was amazing! ******************************************************************************************************************************* More IMHA Success StoriesPooch had a rough night on 11/11 and needed CPR on the morning
of 11/12 because he collapsed and his heart stopped. They were
able to revive him and gave him his tenth blood transfusion on
the morning of 11/12 for IMHA. His lowest PCV was about 8. We gave him the
bio-algae concentrates
at approximately 12:30 on 11/12 and he responded wonderfully. He
began drinking water almost immediately. His PCV level remained
stable at 32, when in the past it had been no higher than 16, even
with blood transfusions. On 11/14, they discharged him from the
hospital after 10 days there. I am happy to report that he has
remained home and his PCV is now 45, in the normal range. We
started off with a pinch of bio-algae concentrates and then increased it
incrementally. We are now giving him 1 capsule a day. He is 11.6
lbs. now. He is still on the immune suppressants and steroids (Prednisone,
Asprin, Neoral and Azathioprine) but we are working on weaning him
off these medications. ****************************************************************************************************************************** Elsa, a 10 year old
Rottweiler who weighs about 80 #, was taken to see her vet for a rash
and routine care. Her doctor suggested a blood test because of her age,
to see how she was doing overall. Her tests came back good, except for
slight anemia.
Further testing showed that her red blood cells were not ******************************************************************************************************************************** Nino is doing so well—he’s back to his normal
weight (65 lbs.) and his spirit and vitality are right back to where he
was pre-diagnosis (IMHA). I truly attribute his success in healing to
the brilliant product, bio-algae concentrates, you provided. ****************************************************************************************************************************** Hi, this is Philo's mommy and just wanted to let you know that he is doing unbelievably great. My poor baby went through a lot and honestly I don't think his little body could have taken it if it wasn't for the great nutrients bio-algae concentrates provides. Up until Sunday, August 16th, his blood count
had dropped to 10 and the doctor was administering Oxyglobin
(two transfusions were done prior). He needed a third transfusion but
nothing was certain. Six days before (Aug. 10th) when my doggie got
diagnosed with IMHA I had no idea what to do or what that disease was
like. Went on the Internet for several hours and thank goodness I was
able to find your website and educate myself. After reading everything I
said to myself what do I have to lose and ordered a bottle. By
Wednesday, Aug 13th, Phillo had already gotten his second blood
transfusion but was still peeing a lot of blood. After I administered
bio-algae concentrates (1.5 capsules split in 2 servings) his pee immediately (1
hour later) went to orange, then green and now a healthy light yellow.
We were all stunned. Unfortunately the destruction of blood cells
was so much that we needed to buy time until all meds start kicking in
so we went ahead with the third transfusion. His PCV went to 26, 27, 24,
18. But the encouragement we got was that he was acting a lot more
alert, eating on his own, peeing normally, playing with his toys,
barking, kissing us non-stop and that spark in his eyes was back. By Thursday, Aug. 20th, his PCV was 25 and the doctors agreed that if it kept going up or stayed the same he could come back home the next day. On Friday, Aug. 21st, his PCV was at 28 and we were sooooooo happy because we could finally bring our little man back home. Took him to the vet yesterday, Aug. 22nd, and his PCV was at 31!!! He still is on medication, but bio-algae concentrates truly gave the nutrients Philo needed to pull through and heal. Everyone at the hospital was amazed on how quickly he responded when he only had a 50/50 chance. The dosage of antibiotics will eventually decrease/taken away but bio-algae concentrates will ALWAYS be in Philito's life. If you are reading this while you are trying to
find something that will make your puppy get/feel better, do not
hesitate. This whole food product is really ahead of its time and it
works WONDERS. ******************************************************************************************************************************* My dog Sarah (Brussels Griffon, 4 years old about 12 pounds) was diagnosed with IMHA two weeks ago. Still eats well. Has had two blood transfusions and is on two medications: Predisolone and Azithropine. Blood Level at onset was 11. Two weeks later it went as high as 27 and last check it was 23. Sarah has been on bio-algae concentrates for a month now. She has also been on vet prescribed auto immune suppressant. I have been giving her one capsule a day and her blood level increased to 47. She now has increase in her Liver function test. Vet has taken her off of one of the suppressants and I will be increasing her bio-algae concentrates to 2 a day. I just want to say THANK YOU as if I did not find your site on line I do not believe that my pup would be here today. Everyday we learn something new about IMHA and how bad it is. I know that we are still up for a long battle. Just wanted to say thank you again!!!!! S.R. & M.R., New Hampshire ******************************************************************************************************************************* My 7 year old Bichon Frise had IMHA. She started bio-algae concentrates four days after diagnosis with a blood count of 20%. Three weeks after starting, her blood levels had risen to 30%. At six weeks, her blood level was 37% and her blood test showed no signs of IMHA. She’s at 39% this week and the heart murmur she had developed from the IMHA is completely gone. The vet had told me previously that chances of the heart murmur going away were “very slim”. Her prednisone dose is now one-eighth of the starting dose, 2.5 mg. Thanks so much for your kind attention and the literature on IMHA. You have a great product.—M.D. ****************************************************************************************************************************** For more information on anemia in pets, go to: Auto-Immune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA) For more holistic heartworm and flea & tick resources, download our PDF paper below:

below: If you want to do something proactive before the bio-algae concentrates arrives, go to a people health food store and buy some algae/Spirulina and liquid chlorophyll. Buy the highest grade algae product you can with two or more species of algae/Spirulina in it. No product will have four species, like bio-algae concentrates, so just get the best you can. Also, buy some liquid chlorophyll in a dropper bottle or gel capsules. Mix about ¼ teaspoon algae powder with one dropper full (about 25 drops) of chlorophyll in a half a cup of water. Mix this into your dog's food or if your dog is not eating, then squirt it into the mouth. See Saved Lives for further details.
