I wish that I would have known about Holistic Pet Foods Years Ago

TRUTH 8: NATURE AS THE PRINCIPLE Dr. Wysong Given that we cannot trust nutrition by the numbers (%'s), "100% completeness," or the experts, what can be done? To achieve optimal health for your companion animal, using nature as the principle must be followed, and should be the focus of every decision you make for your pet. There just is no substitute for that which is natural. (Natural here is meant in its true sense, not as food marketers use it.) The epidemic level of chronic disease within the companion animal community has at its source the departure from a natural way of life. Pets are forced by their owners into foods and circumstances for which they are not genetically designed. Put water into the gas tank of your car and it will fail. Put improper fuel into your pet, and it too will eventually fail. It is our task as pet owners to recreate (as much as is possible) the natural environment that the genetics of our companion animals are designed to expect. Good health is nature obeyed. It's that simple I sure have been out of my element in a town. The Pet Foods that are sold in Regular stores are pet junk food. However, I miss Tender Vittles. It was taken off the market because it contained corn syrup. Old pets have a hard time eating. A holistic "tender vittle" food would be a huge help

Yucca Plant Detox

Yucca, called "the tree of life", is an outstanding detoxifying, cleansing, immune system supporting substance. Its main effect is due to one of its ingredients, saponin in popular medicine. This substance is primarily applied for its mucolytic effect and its detoxifying action. Much of the health interest in Yucca has been because of its high content of a natural, detergent-like compound found in plants called saponin. Saponin gets its name from the latin word “sapo” meaning soap. Saponins are poorly absorbed by the human metabolism, and this is one of the factors that may account for the belief among many naturopaths that Yucca helps to clean the gastro-intestinal tract. As a natural diuretic, saponins may help to increase the elimination of waste material from the body by the process of diuresis. Also, studies have indicated that saponins may help to lower serum cholesterol levels by binding to bile salts, and making them unavailable to assist in the absorption of cholesterol. Saponins may also accelerate the decomposition and absoption of certain nutrients such as calcium and silicon, thereby enhancing digestion, and waste elimination. Indications: - smoothes the symptoms of the inflammation of the bowel, polyps, gastritis, Crohn’s disease, coeliac disease and other; - cleanses digestive system, regenerates intestinal mucous membrane, cleanses and regenerates liver and pancreatic cells, increases absorption of nutrients- improves digestion; - thanks to plant’s steroids acts against inflammation during joint problems; - recommended during morning “stiffness” of joints; - cleanses kidneys, recommended during gout; - increases the immunity; - in the diseases of urinary and reproductive systems; - improves psychological balance, cleanses brain and nervous system, during Parkinson, Alzheimer diseases, metal impairment, epilepsy and other; - use always with Nopalin before slimming therapy. Consult with a qualified medical practitioner before taking any supplement. During any cleansing or detoxifying regime, adequate fluid intake is advised. Drink at least 2 to 3 liters of liquid daily, to help facilitate the elimination of waste materials.

Dangers in Ice Melters

Winter may have gotten off to a late start this year, but make no mistake about it -- it's here now. Lots of the country was blanketed in snow again this week, and they're predicting even more in the coming days. And that has many of us loading up on rock salt to keep our steps, driveways and sidewalks ice-free. But while rock salt can be great for protecting us from slips and falls, it can actually be incredibly dangerous for our pets -- especially dogs. No matter how tough your pooch might seem, the typical rock salt or calcium chloride products he's likely to encounter outside can do some serious damage to paws, causing them to become irritated and cracked, and even to bleed. But what can happen when your dog licks his paws can be even worse, causing internal problems, drooling and vomiting. Consuming a significant amount can significantly raise salt levels in his brain, triggering seizures and even death. So the easy solution seems to be to shop for pet-friendlier ice-melting products. The best ones, according to experts, are those containing urea, which are less likely to cause problems, either internal or external. Urea products are said to be less irritating to paws and if eaten, nontoxic to dogs (but oddly, poisonous to farm animals like goats and cows). Ice melting products made with magnesium chloride are also gentler on paws than traditional rock salt, but not as much as urea, say veterinary experts. Of course, even if you use a safer product, that doesn't mean your neighbors do -- especially since rock salt is usually more effective at very frigid temperatures. So be sure to check for rock-salt residue and wipe off your dog's paws as soon as he gets back from a walk. And if he doesn't mind wearing booties, they now come in all sizes, colors and brand names for the fashion-conscious pup to show off to his friends on the block!

10 ways to use Lavender Oil

Here are the top 10 favorite ways to use Lavender oil 1.Skin Support Therapeutic-grade Lavender oil is excellent in supporting healthy skin function. It is good at soothing minor skin irritations and discomfort. I especially like to apply lavender oil after I have spent too much time in the sunshine. Trips home from the beach often include a rub down with lavender oil (mix with peppermint for a cooling sensation). It has anti-septic properties as well that support healthy skin. 2. Ease Muscle Discomfort and Tension : I love to add lavender to a carrier oil and rub into my muscles after I have gone on a hike. 3. Relaxation Support There is a reason some hotels have lavender scented pillowcases. Lavender is known to support a relaxing atmosphere. This is a great oil to assist you with winding down before bedtime. It helps my children with their bedtime routine as well. My little one calls it "sleepy oil." We love to diffuse this in the air at night time. 4. Ease Insect Infractions Lavender is known to ease discomfort caused by insects munching on your skin. It cools and soothes. 5. Mood Lifter Lavender is known to positively balance the mood as well as stabilize mental states.Diffuse in the air or apply to the bottoms of your feet. 6. Fabric Freshener and Deodorizer Place a few drops on a washcloth or laundry drier sheet to freshen laundry scent and naturally deodorize in the dryer. 7. Seasonal Discomforts Both Lavender and Peppermint oil can be very effective for helping to reduce the flare ups from seasonal discomforts. Place a few drops near the nasal passages, temples, forehead, back of the neck, between the eyes (not in the eyes). If you get some in your eyes, flush with olive or coconut oil (or any fatty oil), not water. 8. Menstrual Cramp Relief Apply lavender oil around the abdomen while inhaling the diffused vapors to help calm and relax the muscles, mind and body for less severe cramping. Add hot compresses to the abdomen to help drive the oil in and intensify the relaxation. 9. Bring Calming Support to Nervous System Lavender oil can support a healthy nervous system. You can massage lavender oil on or near the location of muscle contractions that are caused by an over-active nerve. 10. Helps Concentration Lavender supports a calm nervous system, a stabilized mood and therefore is reported by many to help improve the ability to concentrate. Connect with me on Twitter: MountainSuze
