Because of our low, mail order,
Internet prices and the amazing demand for our "wholistic"
consulting and
revolutionary products, we limit every inquiry (e-mail and
telephone) to 15 minutes in order to help all those in need.
After the first 15 minutes we charge our normal
consulting
fee. Please make use of all the free resources available 24
hours/day, by clicking on the buttons in the left-hand menu of
every product page (Ingredients, Usage, FAQ, etc.). Thank you in
advance.
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:
This article is not meant to put forth
holistic “cures” for IBD,
pancreatitis, food allergies and
other digestive
disorders
but to share the wholistic lessons we have learned that may bring you
and your pet closer to Freedom From Illness. Every day our
clients evaluate natural (but not necessarily holistic) products using
the Western medical paradigm of supplementing the symptoms. They use the
linear principles of allopathic Western medicine in giving XX
capsules/day and expecting YYY results in ZZZ amount of time. When these
expectations are not met, they conclude the product does not work and
move on. These natural products and holistic methods may indeed work, if
evaluated using a truly “wholistic” approach, as we share below.
According to medical research
it takes 6 months in a healthy body for every intestinal cell to be
regenerated.
This is the normal birth/death cycle for intestinal cells. This assumes
a relatively healthy diet (eating some fresh fruits and vegetables for
humans and a 60-80% meat + fat diet for
carnivorous pets) and average lifestyle (adequate sleep, water
and not extremely stressful) will produce an adequate amount of
absorption and utilization of nutrients from food (not supplements) for
the body to accomplish this.
First holistic lesson:allergy or
prescription diets only address the symptoms and not the cause. You
heard the old doctor joke—Patient:
My head hurts when I do this motion. Doctor; Stop doing that motion.
Changing food or feeding a
prescription
diet is the same answer. While they might decrease or even eliminate the
symptoms, they do nothing to balance the original cause of the digestive
disorder. Many of our clients spend thousands of dollars rotating or
eliminating different foods for themselves or flavors of meat for their
pet in an attempt to eliminate the digestive disorder. All they are
doing is chasing the symptoms and the imbalance will manifest with more
symptoms or in another way eventually. If changing food or feeding a
prescription diet does decrease the symptoms,
then do it but also look for a more holistic way to balance the body,
especially the brain. We have used a fermented whitefish product, called
Seacure, to provide immediate relief in
both people and pets from symptoms of IBD, vomiting, diarrhea and food allergies.
But that is not the
total
"wholistic" answer. While digestive symptoms show up in the intestines
and stomach area, one can be sure there is also an imbalance in the brain (for
example, pituitary, pineal, hypothalamus, adrenals, thyroid) where digestion is
regulated and controlled. We use bio-algae concentrate
products (BioPreparation
and BioSuperfood)
to feed and balance the glands in the brain.
Second holistic lesson:not enough
time—the second holistic lesson we see clients miss, is not giving a
product or using a holistic method (for example, change in diet) enough
time for the body to regenerate and rebuild the damaged intestinal
cells. Suppose a body with IBD, pancreatitis or other digestive
disorders has 50% of its cells dysfunctional (for example, thickening of
the intestinal
walls
as shown by ultrasound). According to research, it should take a healthy
body 3 months to replace 50% of its intestinal cells. But an unhealthy
body with damaged intestinal cells is not absorbing 100% of its food
nutrients, so one should expect the ideal 3 months of regeneration to
now take at least 3-6 months. One cannot give a product just 1-2 months
and expect total remission of symptoms. If one sees just a hint of
benefits after 2 months, we would suggest continuing for at least
another 6 months to give the body a chance to heal before properly
evaluating the product or change in diet.
Third holistic lesson: not giving
enough product to account for the body’s digestive inefficiency—all
drugs and most
supplements publish suggested guidelines by body weight. These
guidelines are based on studies using an “average” body. Suppose a body
with IBD, pancreatitis or food allergies is absorbing and utilizing less
than 50% of its nutrients because of a thickened stomach lining or
intestinal walls. The intestinal villi hairs may be sluggish and plaque
coats the intestines preventing normal absorption. There may be hidden
tumors caused by
GMO food (wheat,
corn and soy)
obstructing
digestion. We and our manufacturers have found that some clients with
digestive issues need to take up to double the starting suggestions (per
body weight) just to see any beginning benefits. After the body starts
to regenerate the damaged intestinal cells (or organs), the product can
be slowly decreased while continuing the rebuilding benefits.
Drugs, isolated digestive supplements and
prescription diets may be needed to temporarily alleviate the symptoms
for comfort. But we have found a whole body approach to digestive
disorders and patience to be the best tools towards Freedom From
Illness.
