I write my articles either on the basis of inspiration or a request. The later is definitely true for diabetes.
I will confess that diabetes is not my favorite topics, because I have seen it to be so challenging and time demanding for my clients to manage. Who wants to give insulin shots, be at home on time to give them and skip all the fun events, parties and trips? Who wants to go to the vet clinic for tests after test?
If you are expecting me to give you the magic bullet on how to treat diabetes without insulin, I may disappoint you. There may have been a few cases of diabetes remissions in cats and I have never seen this in dogs. The most frustrating part is that diabetes in animals and perhaps in people appears to be easily preventable.
In 14 years of feeding and recommending natural raw diet, I haven’t seen one single raw fed dog or cat with diabetes. This definitely suggests that the key in diabetes prevention is to stay away from processed food.
While I don’t have a scientific double blinded, triple blindsided study approved by a quadruple titled big honcho from a top medical institution, I may have humble explanation of how diabetes can be prevented. If you feel a hint of fire and pepper in my writing today, it is because I can’t believe that the conventional diet (more…)

Recently, I have had the pleasure to interview one of the Vancouver’s most talented healers, Ryan Carnahan on a very interesting topic of detox.

I hope you will enjoy this interview.
With gratitude,

Recently I conducted a survey on the incidence of GDV in dogs. What I have learned is that dogs that are fed processed food are about five times as likely to suffer from a bloat than dogs that are fed raw or cooked food.
Most veterinary textbooks state that gastric dilation volvulus is a serious life threatening condition which is caused by general breed predilection, fermentation and gas formation in the stomach and is often caused by (more…)

So many of us are concerned about the current state of medical system and the fact that the governments of many countries are crumbling under the burden of skyrocketing medical costs.
More then a half of most countries’ budgets goes to the healthcare. Thousands of people and animals are dying unnecessarily from the side-effects of drugs.
How can we make a difference and change this situation. How can we help those who do not believe this understand

Lately, I have heard of some people cutting corners by feeding mixes of left over meat from meat packers. Because there are currently no regulations that would prohibit selling meat that is spoiled or not suitable for sale as dog food, I highly recommend not going that route and buy your raw pet food from a reputable manufacturer that is known for its quality and integrity.
If the defrosted package doesn’t smell the same as good quality meat for human consumption, discard it immediately and look for another supplier. (more…)

I have always loved the cleverness of the “Magic School Bus” – one of the most ingenious educational programs to date. Today, I would like to invite you on a journey through the digestive tract of two very different groups; herbivores and carnivores to see why nature, unlike processed food junk companies, believes that raw food is the way to go. If you yourself unsure about raw food or have a friend who you try to educate. This blog post may be helpful.
Lets look at the cow – a herbivore. It has three fore stomachs and one stomach to digest and ferment plant material, grain and fiber. A horse represents a slight variation of this design. For a horse it would be very hard to run fast with a big fore stomach full of food. Instead, horses have a large colon that also digests and ferments plant material and fiber.
The digestive tract of carnivores is very different. It is shorter, equipped with a smaller but stronger stomach and relatively short intestines. The digestive glands of the stomach and especially pancreas are larger and produce large amounts of protein digestive enzymes. Carnivores do not have the ability to process fiber through fermentation as well as herbivores. (more…)

Today, I have decided to write on the topic of the big C word – Cancer. For years, we have been hearing in the news that we have to “fight cancer” or “say no to cancer.”
The statistics show clearly that cancer “fights back” at an ever increasing rate and intensity. It appears that no matter how many times we say “ No” to cancer; cancer’s reply is often “Screw you!”

Recently, I received an e-mail from my friend who’s customer’s dog was diagnosed with what she called “a nasty case of fungus on her feet which started as fungal but went into bacterial infection.” The owner was soaking her dogs feet in hibitane wondering, if my Healing Solution formula would work for dog foot fungus.
I almost answered her question privately and then I thought, it is a perfect opportunity to get a few things of my chest, write a blog and hopefully help at the same time
Over the course of the past months of blog writing, I have found a new passion for writing and bringing more clarity into animal healing. I like to question and challenge beliefs of others and also my own. This way I keep my ego in check and keep on learning. In the big scheme of things, we humans, know very little.

Holistic approach to vaccination for kittens and adult cats
Simplicity is one of the best ways of feeling peaceful and calm about our decisions.
Feline vaccination can be simple, there is only a few things that you need to know.
1. Vaccines contain dangerous carcinogens and disease causing chemicals such as mercury and formaldehyde
2. They are often made by infecting healthy laboratory animals including dogs, cats and horses.
3. Early vaccination can neutralize maternal antibodies and leave your kitten unprotected.
4. Vaccines have the ability to cause the symptoms similar to the disease they are fighting. For example: upper respiratory disease vaccine often causes sneezing and chronic nasal discharge, calici virus vaccine can contribute to gingivitis – gum inflammation.
5. Combination vaccines often overwhelm the body and cause immune system problems
6. Repeated exposure to vaccines can create toxic build up and serious chronic disease or even cancer.

FIFTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS! “Are you kidding me?!”
