Success Stories for Pets
MITES
Cats and dogs get ear mites. They are not transmittable to humans,
but infestations are very contagious with pets in contact with
other animals. We have used TEA
TREE OIL diluted. I use
10 drops in a tablespoon of water. Then I take a small eyedropper
and squirt it in one ear at a time, instantly covering the opening
with the ear flap. I spend at least a full minute massaging the
ear to keep the animal from shaking it all out before it gets
into the ear canal and begins doing its work. Massage as long
as you can because it could be a one administration event if
you can keep it all in there for 3-5 minutes.

NO PET ODORS IN MY KITCHEN
"I just mopped the kitchen floor in a gallon of water, a squirt of SUNSHINE
CONCENTRATE and 7 drops of LEMON
ESSENTIAL OIL. I really like using bleach because it disinfects,
since I have a dog and cats, but I know it is so bad for me and them, so I'm trying
the Lemon Oil which smells so wonderful that it makes my mouth water! A really
nice benefit is that the floor is not sticky or slippery which is the typical
problem with chemical floor cleaners and the bleach leaves a residue that I have
to rinse off. No rinsing with Sunshine Concentrate and Lemon Oil. It sure is nice
to smell lemon and feel refreshed after mopping the floor instead of dazed out
from chemical vapors." Robin
NOISE PHOBIA
"I wanted to let you know that I have used PEPPERMINT
OIL on my furkid's paws for thunderphobia, and it DOES really work!
I have used other things, but the best results were with Peppermint Oil on the
paws. Both my golden boy and my Aussie have severe 'noise' phobia, and the Peppermint
Oil really does the trick. Besides, my carpets also smell pretty good where they
walk!" Carol Ressler Read about cautions
for cats.
PANCREATITIS IN KITTY
"Leo kitty is a one-year old male cat that has
recently had a very bad pancreatitis attack. That is not too uncommon in older
cats but is for a one-year old. The consensus of the veterinarians was that the
food he ate would keep the pancreatitis in check. However, even with vitamins
to boost his appetite, he wasn't interested in eating, so I started giving him
the Pro-Pancreas. He
really fights taking the pills and won't eat the herbs on his food. I gave him
a Pro-Pancreas each day for a few weeks. I could tell each day when he was in
need of his herbs because he would get weak and wouldn't eat. About 20 minutes
after his herbs were given he would perk up and come trotting to the kitchen to
eat (and I mean EAT!) I am watching him be a normal rambunctious cat now but if
he loses his appetite, I know he needs the Pro-Pancreas." Ginny T.
PARASITE-FREE
"We give our pets natural foods, but living in the woods,
we have the usual critters that we cohabitate with. To combat the fleas and parasites,
and to keep their blood good and healthy, I put a squirt of BLACK
WALNUT EXTRACT and a squirt of LIQUID CHLOROPHYLL in
their drinking water. At first, they looked at it funny, but
now they look at the water funny if it isn't a cloudy brownish
green! I have had no problems with fleas or parasites since
I started this regimen. I also give them GARLIC routinely
to make them good and smelly. We are a parasite and flea-free
environment. As an added bonus for my dog, I keep a bottle
of water in the fridge with some TEA TREE OIL to
spritz him after he comes in as an added measure and it actually
keeps his fur smelling fresher. I no longer have the doggy
odor I had with him now that he has a regular regiment of good
food and herbs. It took a little time for the herbs to get
the toxins out of them, but we are doing great being an all
natural pet family." From

RABBIT WITH BLOOD IN URINE
"Last summer I was given advice to use Hydrangea on
our 7-year old rabitt that had blood in the urine. It was suggested
that she may be trying to pass a kidney stone. I began giving
it to her and it cleared up. Since she is an older rabbit, I've
decided to continue it as a preventative so she gets some each
day on her apple. It's nice to have a natural solution and something
so simple to help her." Ruth
SARCOPTIC MANGE
I used Tea Tree Oil on my dog's sarcoptic mange because the vet couldn't fit him in for an appointment for a week. I canceled the vet appointment because the Tea Tree Oil cleared it beautifully! I cleaned the area and applied the oil with a dropper twice a day. This stuff is great! My dog thanks you! J.K.
SCRATCHES/SORES HEALING AND EARS STANDING UP AGAIN
The new kitty scratched up my Chihuahua pup's ears. They started
to flop over because the scratches would scab over and break
open again and again and there was alot of redness. Took her
to the vet, since her ears had been standing up for over 2
months before getting the kitten, he told me to use an antibiotic
ointment and hydrocortisone cream. He also taped her ears
up for 11 days. She looked like a little martian running round.
She got the ears untaped but they flopped down again. One
night I came across Golden
Salve in my nightstand drawer and dabbed it on Sierra's
ears. By the next morning they were remarkably improved. She
hates the smell of it and I have to chase her around a bit
or sneak up on her to apply the Golden Salve, but
her ears are just about all healed now and seem to be starting
to stand up on their own again since the sores are healed and
the inflammation is gone. I hope they contiune to do so, even
though I would love my little flop eared chihuahua just as
much as my pointed ear ones!" Chatty
SEIZURES
"I just wanted to let you know about something I tried on our dachshund.
She began having small seizures at 5 years old. The veterinarian's only suggestion
was to put her on tranquilizers permanently if they became worse or consistent.
I decided to try some VALERIAN
ROOT I had and it worked! I gave that to her for a
week and the seizures stopped. In a couple of months she started
having them again so I repeated the regimen. It seems to keep
the seizures at bay and I don't have to keep her drugged continuously.
I'm happy with the results." Debbie Harrison
SICK CATS
"We help Animal Rescue, and also take in strays
that have been abandoned. We nurse them back to health before we find them a good
home. I give them VITAMIN B12 (.18
ml) injections and found they respond very well. It really
speeds up their healing fast - usually in two days. Even their
fur shines and they get new pink noses too. Cats that won't
start eating because they're so sick, eat like there's no tomorrow
and start playing the very next day. I know injections aren't
available to everybody, but you could possibly ask your vet
to give one...or use Vitamin B12 drops."

SKIN ALLERGIES
"I began using OMEGA
3 FISH OILS when my vet said I could try them for our
dog's allergy problems. It has done so much for Scrugs. His
skin has cleared up and his coat is so shiny and healthy. We'll
have to rename him. He was getting arthritis also and
that seems to have gone away too. I'm so glad I can use natural
products instead of all the toxic things we've tried for allergies
and skin problems." Mrs. Thomas
"I bought some of the SKIN DETOX because
my dog was having horrible problems with his skin and the vet
wasn't having any success. I used 4 capsules two times a day
for the first week and then used 2 capsules two times a day thereafter
and couldnt believe the results that were evident in just a few
weeks. Her coat is again looking beautiful with the hair grown
back in." Carolyn
SORES & HAIRBALLS
"I gave my friend some GOLDEN SALVE for some
callouses she has and it's doing a great job on them, but she
also decided to use it on her cat's sores she had from fighting.
It is healing them up great, but she's also noticed that the
cat isn't throwing up hairballs any more." Rob
THUNDER PHOBIA
Which also manifests as fear of fireworks, can cause extreme
anxiety in dogs. Dr. Robert Silver, a holistic veterinarian,
recommends PEPPERMINT
OIL. Rub it into the pads of the dog's feet before
the animal gets stressed. The dog will still be anxious, but
it will make the animal less reactive. Read
about cautions for cats.
TICKS
"I live in the woods and give my dog TEA
TREE OIL baths and spritz some on a comb to apply to
my cats to avoid fleas. I've never had to deal with a flea
problem (I also use natural food and LIQUID CHLOROPHYLL in
their water so their bloodstreams don't get toxic and attract
the fleas). I was surprised to find a tick on one of my cats.
I knew TEA
TREE OIL was supposed to kill them so I put a drop on and
waited. It was big and tough and not letting go, so I put another
drop on and waited. After about 15 minutes I was able to pull
him out dead. Then I used GOLDEN
SALVE to heal the wound since it was swollen and had
quite a hole from the tick. It's sure nice to have herbs on
hand to help my animals when I need it!" R.S. Read about cautions
for cats.
UNDERWEIGHT AND FUR LOOKING BAD
"I have five (5) inside cats and one (1) outside cat. Several of the cats
are getting to middle age and I was concerned about their health. One especially
is losing weight and his fur looks very bad. Decided to try Flint
River. I put a crock of Flint River down and a crock
of their regular "natural" food (Nutro) which I have been very satisfied with. It is
too early to see immediate results (been about three weeks), but I have filled
the Flint River crock at least five times and the Nutro crock is still half full.
The cat that I was concerned about has quit licking his fur and feels a little
heavier. I just have a feeling that this is going to be just what they need."

VAGINITIS
See "ear infections" above.
VOMITING, CHEWING, AND DIARRHEA
“I got Sage, a second dog, through the shelter. She’s
a boxer/Akita mix. She is such a great dog, but for the
6 months I have owned her, she has episodes of throwing up, diarrhea,
and she behaved as if she didn’t feel well. She was
also eating gravel and started chewing all the pillows in my
house. After describing her symptoms, somebody recommended
minerals to support the nervous system. I ordered Liquid
Chelated Calcium. Within a few days she was a new dog. All
her symptoms went away and no more chewing. She is happy and
energetic! What a difference.” Janice in Las
Vegas
