Just thinking – What is wrong with us? (by Michelle Saari)

Saturday, August 28th, 2010

Laying awake for hours, light bulb moment, what’s wrong with us?                                                                                                                                                          

Hi Peter

Thank you for teaching us to be more proactive with our pets and ourselves. It suddenly occurs to me that the reason for a lot of our problems is that we want that “magic pill”.

If someone is told they have high cholesterol, they want a pill to make it go down so they can continue to fuel their bodies with the junk that caused it.

When they have a sore joint, they want a pill to dull the pain, instead of curing the cause of the pain.

When they cough, they want something to stop the cough.  (isn’t a cough a normal way of clearing the passage?)

When we have a fever, we immediately want to get it down. (Isn’t fever natures way of fighting something bad in our bodies?)

If we are overweight, we want a magic pill to shed the pounds because it is easier than proper diet and exercise.

Allergies are a natural defense.  Unless it is extreme, as all the above mentioned ailments) why do we want to put a blanket over them.

The pharmaceutical companies are rich because they have convinced us that this is the answer to everything.  Shame on us for believing it.
Thanks for listening.

Wondering what is missing in your pet’s diet?

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

Have you ever wondered if there is something missing in your animal friend’s diet?

How about minerals? How can you insure that your dog or cat is getting all the important nutrients needed for good health and longevity? Essential minerals are not always present in sufficient amounts, especially if your pet’s diet is limited to a few ingredients.  Even if you feed a variety of foods, intensive agriculture and soil depletion can lead to serious health problems unnecessary suffering and expensive vet bills.

Is your animal friend safe?

Car safety and pets

Skai Safety - car safety and petsAs a driver I have a bad  habit.  I don’t usually buckle up right away but a few minutes after I start driving and the car’s warning signal gets louder and more annoying. I finally listen and  with an attitude of a teenager I reluctantly buckle up.

I myself am puzzled by this. What  brings on the teenager like attitude within me? Why  do I  take the chances and believe falsely that accidents are less likely to happen in the first kilometer or two of the trip?  There is something in most of us that makes as do things that are thrilling and dangerous, no matter how much it doesn’t make sense.

In the 90’s, I worked in a vet clinic in Whistler, British Columbia, a beautiful mountain resort full of thrill seeking folks, who hurl themselves down the double black diamonds  runs  that are steeper than this letter A.

Before the local bylaws tightened up, Whistlerites were also infamous for letting their dogs roam freely around town especially on powder days. Dogs can walk themselves, especially with 3 feet of fresh powder waiting, right?

Unfortunately many dogs couldn’t and I remember hating the “hit by car” emergency calls.

Why rigid approach to medicine doesn’t do the trick anymore

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

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.

Saturday, April 3rd, 2010

Have you every thought; what would your dog or cat want you to do if they could speak?

What would it be? Would you work 12 hour days or spend hours in traffic, watching TV or shopping for things that you don’t need?

I invite you to close your eyes and imagine  what would your next  hour, next day or month look  like. Where are you, what are you doing, who are you with? (more…)

Your Secret Key to Preventing Cancer

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

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!”
