Oh, good grief! Those poor people! It's bad enough to get inappropriate remedies, but SO much worse to stack them up, repeat...Can you say "abuse"?
Homeopathy is a gentle, circumspect method, in which restraint and conservatism are even more important, often, than the actual choice of remedy. I...
I see, in her case, numerous symptoms that just scream for classical homeopathic treatment - most of which could only be very temporarily abated by any other means, including treatment "for" things like itching and digestive issues, temperament issues, skin problems. Each little thing she shows...
Yeah, I can see why he said that:) You've done great, with all the adjuncts and the testing. And yep, it's complicated. But I can see why all this points to a broadly systemic derangement, eminently suitable for homeopathic treatment. The lameness is only one small indication of what's going on...
In my experience, reactions TO various environmental and dietary items - especially changeable or paradoxical reactions - are not reactions to the item itself, but an expression of the system showing us its "mistuning". This dysfunctional state will have been brought on by the various insults...
...and Tincture of Love is quite inexpensive, no? I'd go with the Love angle, too: tons of attention, bedtime stories all day long, indulgent sniff walks, lovely fresh foods. ...and then there is homeopathy. Believe this all works - and it will, to the extent she can muster. It's all we can do -...
Any and all ways you would use for enhancing it anyway: great diet, lots of love and attention, fun games, walks, play...Cancer is, in many ways, a neglect or deficiency in BEAM, manifesting itself in various organs and tissues. So anything you can do to increase vitality and happiness will...
Bravo, Nancy, for this well-informed and considered observation! I agree - professional/scientific observations are only one aspect of care to be considered. But happiness and apparent health are the true reflections, with clinical observations to be taken with a grain of salt. And there is no...
Well - since I am NOT a homeopath, I can stick my neck out and say that the prescriptions/remedies prescribed seem a bit inappropriate, and also perhaps a bit, well, unsubtle: too much, too many, too soon. That said, I do believe that appropriate homeopathy has an important place in his...
Well, after I shot the vet, I would find a brilliant classical homeopath to take her entire case. I'd probably use milk thistle, silymarin, etc. for her liver. I'd feed a nicely balanced raw diet, ideally with lots of organ meats and a few fresh chopped veggies, perhaps celery, radish..Don't...
What he said.... There are all sorts and levels of "homeopaths" out there, with varying levels of understanding about the nature of healing. So, that said, diet is likely not the cause of his symptoms, although it can appear to be when initially changed, as the body "tries it on" to see if it...
Is there vaccination history? I would consider consulting a well-qualified homeopathic practitioner, in any case. And I would continue to try to get her to eat raw meat, perhaps presented as treats or in other disguises. You have her whole life to get this right, but now is a good time to start...
Just read the sample reviews on the PetSumer site: my instincts seem to be right on the money when judging foods, and for the relatively uninitiated feeders this info is just invaluable. I'm with Dr. Jeff here - no surprise - "germs" are there to to make us stronger, if anything, and live...
Not a vet; not a communicator, but my feeling is that she needs peace and comfort and security in her food supply - in other words, a single stable supply of one nutritious food. My choice would be, hate to say it - grassfed beef. If she likes this, you can keep it up for some time - like...
Dr. Jeff, thanks for explaining this dosing once again. It's sometimes difficult for folks to get past the idea of the "energetic" approach which defines homeopathy. Folks, please pay attention, so as not to waste the possibilities in this healing art.
If you do nothing else ever with...
Lisa, you did great by him, and learned a heap along the path. He will always be with you, and everything he taught will live on to help others. Thank you, and Punk thanks you, for alll you did and learned. All our love!
I agree with both Dr. Jeff's suggestions - but my first thought is that she needs a more canine-appropriate diet: meat, and less carbs. This should also help with the thyroid levels. This needn't be health-food level stuff; even supermarket beef, lamb, etc. will be OK for starters. But a decent...
Well, I'm a great believer in variety and maintaining dietary flexibility. So I would tend to not be so strict about intervals between switching - feed what you've got, and then feed something else. Switch up as often as every day, or hang with an item she likes for a few days. Unless she is a...
Some remedy "pictures" are more obvious than others:), so not a surprise when two homeopaths recognize a remedy in a case. It's also important to let the chosen remedy work fully, not repeating or changing until progress slows or stops. The energy each imparts is unique, and, once given - maybe...
