Hi Friend,

-----------------------------------
Holistic Options
-----------------------------------

Many clients have written is and asked WHERE to start with at home pet health healing?

The easiest, and often most immediately rewarding way is to start by supplementing your pet's diet with nutrients that can benefit them.

Such as essential fatty acids, probiotics, vitamins/minerals.

The simplest, and most effective way is by using my supplement, which contains vitamins/minerals, EFA's, probiotics, joint support nutrients, along with colostrum

Plus you can try it for 50% OFF

While in practice
-----------------------------------


While I was a practicing veterinarian a not uncommon scenario would be this..

A clients dog comes in ill, with a variety of symptoms.

History is taken, along with physical exam. I would then form a list of likely diagnoses, and perhaps suggest some diagnostic tests to figure out exactly what was going on.

Based on the exam, or subsequent tests I would give my diagnosis, and then suggest treatment.

Often I would review the disease in my textbooks, and at a few online veterinary sites, just to make sure I was current, and advising the correct treatment and dosages..

One of the things I noticed is that with virtually ALL of the textbooks and references I used, there was little to no mention of alternative options.

It's as if they don't exist, or are not worth writing about.

Never referenced holistic option

Let's look at colostrum.

I have yet to ever read about it in any conventional veterinary textbook or reference as a possible treatment for disease.

But in researching, I came across this review of colostrum, published in one of the journals I subscribed to, 'The Canadian Veterinary Journal'


Veterinary nutraceutical medicine

Craig Taillon, Alan Andreasen

Can Vet J Volume 41, March 2000


Colostrum is used as a nutraceutical treatment for animals
of all ages to increase resistance to infection and
disease caused by a wide range of pathogens, including
bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi. It is also used for
applications such as healing of intestinal lesions and
increasing the absorption of nutrients from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.

The components of colostrum that convey its nutraceutical
properties are nearly identical in structure and
function among different species (11-13). This means
that colostrum from one species can be used effectively
to provide benefits to animals of other species. Bovine
colostrum is used in nutraceutical medicine due to the
relative ease with which large amounts can be collected
and processed, and its proven effectiveness when used
to treat a variety of species.

Some of the highlights from their paper:

Increase resistance to infection, heal wounds, bind iron in the intestinal tract, kill pathogens in the intestinal tract

Immunoglobulins are in high concentrations- good for killing pathogens in the GI tract- bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites

Many pathogenic bacteria require iron to grow- a component of colostrums called lactoferrin binds the iron, and moves it into the intestinal tract

It may attach to viruses, bacteria, weakening them and trigger the immune system

Certain components of colostrum, called cytokines, ( ie IL 1, 2and 6)  increase and enhance B cell and T cell
production,

Also contains growth factors, such as somatomedins, positively affect the intestinal cells, stimulating wound healing, increased absorption of electrolytes and nutrients.

Enhances immune function, prophylactic to prevent and treat disease, reduce the length and severity of established infections

No reported side effects, especially safe

P.S. Based on this scientific review, do you not think that this could be of benefit in treating disease?

I do, and I regret not using it more in practice. Especially as it has in the author's words:

'No reported side effects, especially safe'

My dog and cat supplement contain colostrum. See how it can help your dog or cat, and get a 50% OFF trial bottle.
