RAW FOOD DIET
RAW FOOD DIET: Pet food (kibbles and canned food) is one of the world's
most synthetic edible products, containing virtually no whole
ingredients. A growing number of veterinarians and animal nutritionists
say that many of our pets' disease and suffering can be prevented or
cured with nutrition. Holistic veterinarians teach that processed pet
food (meaning COOKED food) is the main cause of illness and premature
death in the modern dog and cat. In December 1995, the British Journal
of Small Animal Practice published a paper contending that processed pet
food suppresses the immune system and leads to liver, kidney, heart and
other diseases. This research, initially conducted by Dr Tom Lonsdale,
was researched further by the Australian Veterinary Association and
proven to be correct. For a return to health, pets require a diet which
strengthens the immune system and most closely resembles that which they
would get in the wild (meaning RAW food). Grains are NOT part of the
natural diet of wild dogs and cats. Carnivores cannot maintain long term
production of the quantity of amylase enzyme necessary to properly
digest and utilize the carbohydrates. Dr. William Pollak D.V.M, says
that 74.7% of common diseases in dogs and 63% of common diseases in cats
can be eliminated without medical intervention over a period of one year
with proper diet modifications and an understanding of the healing
process as exhibited through healing episodes. Approaching disease from
the perspective of health is the most powerful means of eliminating
disease".
Good Quality kibble or canned pet food? "Indeed, their are some highly
conscientious pet food manufacturers who will deny that they use less
than wonderful ingredients, but the bottom line is that. it is stilt
cooked, preserved, bagged and canned. Who among us would like to eat
exclusively canned and bagged foods? Can you imagine eating dry Coco
Puffs and Spam every day of your life?" Celeste Yarnall, expert animal
nutrition and author of Natural Cat Care.
RAW BONES versus COOKED
BONES
RAW BONES versus COOKED BONES: Holistic veterinarians say that raw bones
are NOT harmful to carnivores. Only cooked bones can splinter and can
pose a threat. Wild carnivores do not debone their kills. I have seen
documentaries of tiny white foxes catching doves and swallowing the
birds whole with feathers, claws, beak, and all. Their stomach juices
are very acidic and and loaded with natural enzymes that disolves and
digests bone material. Chewing on raw bones helps to strengthen the jaw
bones, massage the gums while stimulating the salivary and digestive
glands, help reduce plaques and calculus accumulation on the tooth
surfaces, clean teeth and reduce occurrence of gingivitis. Bones are a
good source of calcium and other important minerals.
You can find more information about optimum animal's diet at
http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/animals.htm
You can find some sample of RAW meal recipes at
http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/shasta.htm
Several companies are now selling commercially prepared RAW food for
pets (some organically grown):
http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/animals.htm
I do NOT feed irradiated meat to my dog Shasta (irradiated = processed
by gamma ray radiation). I make sure that all meats I purchase for her
at the market is NON-IRRADIATED. If I'm not sure about the meat I'm
about to purchase, I ask the manager in the meat department about it.
WORRIED about SALMONELLA and other bugs in your pet's raw meet diet?
Most holistic veterinarians are well aware that dogs and cats don't get
salmonella poisoning because their digestive system is so acidic that it
kills everything. This is why a dog can bury a bone and dig it up two
weeks later and eat the rotting meat. Read the document:
http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/jesse.htm
VACCINATION
: Dr Charles E Loops DVM says "Vaccinations represent a major
assault on the body's immune system." Routine vaccination is known to
create short term and long term multitude of symptoms." Read the
comments of veterinarians who believe vaccines are damaging our pets at
http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/petvacc.htm
Homeopathy is
renowned for its success to antidote or remove the toxic effects of
vaccines and to re-establish balance in the organism and restore health.
Certain homeopathic remedies taken before and after vaccination can
protect from vaccine damage. A professional homeopathic veterinarian
should be consulted for more information. You can learn more about
homeopathy's ability to reduce or repair damage caused by vaccines and
alternative to vaccines at
http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/homeopat.htm#vaccine
Natural minerals and trace elements are crucial to maintain an animal's
good health. I add KELP (seaweed) to my dog's diet and PASCALITE or
BENTONITE clay to her water. For more info about kelp:
http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/seaveg.htm
For more info about healing clay:
http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/clay.htm
HEALING CRISIS:
As with all true natural cures, the road to better
health may begin with a healing crisis. As your animal moves toward
better health with natural healing programs and better nutrition,
healing begins to occur. As part of the healing process the body will
begin to discard toxic residues which have built up in your body over
the years. The healing process usually does not occur without
repercussions. During the initial phase of healing, as your animal
begins to clean house, (detoxify) and its vital energy begins to repair
and rebuild internal organs, it may possibly experience diarrhea, skin
eruptions and discharge from the ear and nose. This is called a healing
crisis and it is ALWAYS A GOOD SIGN and those cleansing symptoms should
not be suppressed with drugs. The duration of a healing crisis varies,
depending on your animal's constitution and age. Please consult with a
holistic veterinarian if you have further questions about a healing
crisis or visit
http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/philo1.htm#healingcrisis
for more
information.
MEDICATION:
Beware of drugs that your conventional veterinarian may give
your animal. They are often ineffective and may have serious side
effects. Frustrated with the failures of conventional veterinary
medicine, Dr. Charles E Loops DVM says: "After 10 years of traditional
veterinary practice I became tired of having no treatment for chronic
disease, incurable conditions, and a plethora of allergic maladies which
seem to plague all veterinary practices. I was frustrated with giving
animals cortisone because I had no other solutions, or using antibiotics
for infections, which I knew were of viral origin. There is so much that
can be done for an animal, bird, or reptile that is ailing by utilizing
homeopathic medicine." Learn about the danger of antibiotics for your
pets at

antibiotics and other drugs for animals at

SICK ANIMALS:
For information about specific animal illness and their
natural cures please go to
http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/ahealth.htmAlso,
I highly
recommend that you visit Dogs & Cats-How to cure sick and dying pets
with natural methods at
http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/philo1.htm
FLEA PROBLEMS, ALLERGIES,
ITCHING, COMPULSIVE BITING or LICKING:
I have
a wonderful recipe of natural products that I use with great success on
my dog to stop itching and to heal flea bites or hotspots. Check the
info at http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/petallergies.htm
If
that does not help your animal's allergies or compulsive biting and
licking, I think that homeopathy is one the best approach. If you are
unable to have a consultation with a homeopathic vet, you can contact
Jean Hamburg at JHamb21433@aol.com for information
about an inexpensive
combination homeopathic product which appears to brings much relief to
these suffering pets and you can read Jean's success story at
http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/amailbag.htm.
If you
contact her, tell her that Shirley gave you her email address.
CANCER:
In 1987 Dr. Lana Levi, of the University of California wrote,
"Most cancer patients in this country die of chemotherapy. It does not
eliminate breast, colon, or lung cancer. This fact has been know for
over a decade. Women with breast cancer are likely to die faster with
chemotherapy than without it." What is true for people is ALSO TRUE FOR
PETS. More info about Chemo:
http://www.best.com/~handpen/Cancell/cancell.htm#Chemo
If your animal
has cancer, I recommend that you visit "Preventing & Healing Animal
Cancer: the holistic approach at
http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/acancer.htm.
There is aslo an
inspiring testimonial page where people describe how their animals where
cured of cancer and other chronic disease with flax oil, homeopathy and
a good diet at
http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/amailbag.htm
I have
included email addresses with each testimonial to facilitate interaction
and support. Dr. George C Pack, MD, a cancer specialist at Cornell
medical School says "The only real defense against cancer is the immune
system. Almost everyone has cancer cells present at times in our bodies.
If our immune system is working properly, these cells are killed or
reabsorbed by our defense system before they begin to grow and threaten
our health." Improving an animal's diet by providing it with plenty of
RAW meat and raw vegetables, flax oil, and kelp meal can help improve
symptoms by strengthening the immune system. There is an abundance of
info about nutrition and animal healing at
http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/animals.htm
You cannot poison your
animal's body into health with drugs, chemo or radiation. The holistic
approach treats the whole person, ignites the body's internal healing
force and stimulates the body's natural abilities to heal itself.
"Health can only be achieved with healthful living" T.C.Fry
TOXIC ENVIRONMENT:
Finally I would like to remind you that animals can
become sick from environmental toxins. "I once had an epileptic dog I
had been treating unsuccessfully for eighteen months. One day its
plastic feeding bowl was accidentally broken and replaced with a
ceramic one. The fits stopped immediately." For more information please
go to http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/animal_victims.htm
WATER FAST:
Dr. William Pollak D.V.M. says that occasional fasting by
cats and dogs is a normal, natural phenomenon, especially when natural
raw, fresh foods are fed. Very sick animals in the wild are known to
fast on water for several days; it is the behavior of rest and
purification. Water fast for people or animals have tremendous healing
powers. Therapeutic Fasting is the world's most ancient and natural
healing mechanism." I routinely fast my 10 year old dog, Shasta, on
water every other day, (I used to fast her once every week or once
every other week). If she would be sick I would fast her on water for 2
to 5 days or longer if needed. More info on therapeutic fasts:

If you have a sick animal, I advice you to consult with a veterinarian:
http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/vetlist.htm
LOOKING FOR A
HOLISTIC/HOMEOPATHIC VETERINARIAN?
If you'd like to have a
consultation with a holistic or homeopathic veterinarian and there are
none in your hometown you can always seek a telephone consultation with
a holistic vet or an animal consultant. A phone consultation can be
just as effective as an office consultation, especially if you already
have a diagnosis of your animal's condition. Homeopathy can also achieve
incredible results with all types of chronic or acute disease. You can
place a search on the internet for a holistic vet or a homeopathic vet
or you can choose one in the list I have compiled at
http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/vetlist.htm
