How To Treat Cat Fleas...and Dogs

With winter closing in...our beloved animal companions spend more and more time inside the house.

This opens up the problem of fleas coming in..possibly affecting non-outdoor animals and our household in general.

In this week's newsletter, I suggest an all natural product to treat cat fleas..and of course dogs..and its even safe for your carpets and furniture.

The last thing you want to do is to use any chemical, toxic compound on small animals or in your home...and now there is a wonderful replacement for that.

New Osteoporosis Shots

The new osteoporosis shots is a drug (zoledronic acid..another bisphosphanate..like Fosamax) which slows down bone resoroption.

Here is the problem....bone status is a dynamic process. In other words..bone must be broken down and re-built all the time to be healthy and strong..its just its chemistry...its how it works.

To simply stop bone resorption is only half of the story. Sure, less bone is resorbed..but you are now left with old, brittle bone....absolutely nothing has been done to increase the development of new active bone...which is ultimately what you need for healthy, functional bones!

As you can read in the abstract (summary) of this paper..there was only a marginal improvement in bone resorption in part of the study..and in another part...it was no different from the placebo (fake medicine) group.

This drug was developed because oral drugs like Fosamax caused a lot of stomach and intestinal irritation so people would not take their medication for long or consistently. This drug manufacturer figured if it was injected...it would bypass that problem.

The real problem is that its not very effective and it doesn't deal with the whole problem.

Drug may heal livers of chronic alcoholics - Sunday Times - Times Online

In this article, researchers are talking about a drug, Sulphasalazine which is showing in animals trials, the ability to reverse some of the scarring associated with cirrhosis.

Like many drugs, however..there are a rafter of side effects. I have been using for some time now, a natural herbal product which acts very similarly as this drug..to decrease inflammation which occurs with a number of health problems.

Both the drug and Kaprex work to decrease the activity of the inflammatory molecule, nuclear factor kappa beta (NFKB). Kaprex though is completely herbal and safe.

Homeopathic and Natural Remedies for Flu

Our Homeopathic Flu Program for the Winter 2006-2007 is Shipping!

Its a known fact that the "flu vaccine" does not work and is preserved with a mercury based preservative - thimerosal. This compound is already under scrutiny for its possible implication in Autism.

We give this vaccine to our young and elderly in particular...the two parts of our population who are particularly susceptible to the mental deterioration that mercury can cause.

It makes so much more sense to use a program which enhances and builds the immune system to use its own defenses to combat virus or bacteria...that's what we were meant to do.

In a study in Europe of 100 people, before using this program, 82% had a cold or flu the year before. After using this program for one year, 78% had neither cold or flu, 11% had a slight case and only 11% actually had flu or cold. In the second year with this program, 85% had nothing, 9% had a slight cold or flu and only 6% had one or the either. This supports what I have found over the years....after 3 winters of using this program, my patients experience neither cold or flu..at all.

How Does the Immune System Work?

The immune system...your vigilant guard to all things toxic and illness-producing.

Just how does the immune system work? What cripples it? Does stress affect the immune system? What about nutrition?...drugs?..environmental poisons?...bacteria?..virus?

Of course all these things have their individual roles to play..whether it be positive or negative.

I think the burning questions for most people are:

1) How does the Immune System work?
2) What can you do about it?
3) How to optimize the workings of your Immune System?

This and much more are discussed at length on my new Immune System pages...starting..

Signs and Symptoms of Liver Disease..And What To Do About It

The liver is an organ in vertebrates,(life forms with spinal columns) including humans. It plays a major role in metabolism and has a number of functions in the body including glucose storage in the form of glycogen (for energy, when needed), plasma (blood fluid) protein synthesis (production), and detoxification (drugs, toxins,waste products from our own metabolism).

Functions of the Liver:

The various functions of the liver are carried out by the liver cells or hepatocytes.

The liver produces and excretes bile required for dissolving fats. Some of the bile drains directly into the duodenum,(second section of the small intesting) and some is stored in the gallbladder.
The liver performs several roles in carbohydrate metabolism:

What Does a Yeast Infection Look Like?

Although most people when they hear the words yeast infection...readily associate it with vaginal infections...and the miserable itching, burning and discharges that go with it, these nuisance infections can erupt in other areas of the body as well.

What appears to be a "rash" is often yeast. These appear under the breasts, in the groin, in the mouth, webs of hands and feet, in the armpit and on the genitals.

They are often mistaken for other rashes or skin diseases..and of course unless treated properly...do not get better.

Screening For Knowledge of Heart Disease Risks in Women and Men

Screening for heart disease has become a main part of medical check ups as the statistics on heart attack incidence trends continues to go up.

Yes, more people survive heart attacks, because of medication, but the number of attacks is not coming down.

I've provided a very complete description of the tests your physician may send you for to help you understand what he/she is looking for and what it means to you.

I've also included a discussion of some of the newest frontiers in testing capability..

Natural Substances To Lower Cholesterol

There are so many natural substances to lower cholesterol..vitamins B6, B12, folic acid, TMG and many herbs. Using herbs and supplements to lower cholesterol is not only very efficient, it is so much safer for you.

Statin drugs are really under the gun for the large number and seriousness of side effects they carry with them. The very fact that they cause a lowering of Co Enzyme Q10, an essential nutrient for heart health and muscle functioning is so counterproductive to the benefits one is supposed to derive from them.

For more information click on the heading of this posting....

Metagenics..a company I trust without question..(I use their supplements for my patients all the time) has come up with three amazing products to help people manage their cholesterol levels. Its a very simple regime and we are seeing wonderful results in our office. For a complete listing and description click on the link below.

Protect Your CoQ10..Canada..Statins Must Indicate Their Devastating Side Effects

"Statin drugs, which promise to reduce the levels of bad (LDL) cholesterol in the body while improving the levels of good (HDL) cholesterol, are the fastest-growing class of prescription drugs in the world, but increasing evidence shows they may not be safe, and Canadian health officials are warning that statins can cause serious muscle damage.
Health Canada is now requiring manufacturers of statin drugs such as Lipitor, Zocor, Pravachol, Mevacor and Crestor to include warnings and information about the potential for muscle damage on patient safety information sheets, according to the Toronto Star."

This article by Alex Black was reported on by Mike Adams here:

Home Treatment for Dry Socket/Total Internal Body Cleanse

Y2K's Newsletter 6-3:

"Dry socket" occurs when the clot either doesn't form or is removed before all healing has taken place..and actually is any socket in which a patient is having pain due to the loss of the blood clot thus exposing the bone to air, food, and fluids along with an offensive odor. This often occurs two or more days after an extraction and can last about 5-6 days. It is normal to have soreness and discomfort following an extraction. Pain should be lessening by the second day.

There are three herbs I have my patients use to clean and heal the area..which are very successful at preventing infection.... More Info Here

Homeopathy for kennel cough, home remedies for kennel cough

Homeopathy for kennel cough, home remedies for kennel cough..I get so many questions about this in the spring. I think its a combination of situations which result in the increase at this time of year.

People have wintered away for a time and their precious pet has been exposed in boarding kennels to many other animals..leaving them open to infection. Kennel cough typically takes about 8-12 days or so to manifest...which is just about the time the family returns and takes their pet home.

The other consideration is that dogs are now out playing more in the better weather and again in contact with other animals more frequently and for longer periods of time.

Homeopathy does wonders for this type of problem..as it does for many animals' health issues....just as it does for us and our family.

What I want.... is for you to have the information to know how health becomes affected and what YOU can do to correct this for you, your family and your furball companions WITHOUT spending a FORTUNE and being confused!

Men, Women With ADHD and Relationships

ADHD- - NOT JUST FOR KIDS

MEN, WOMEN WITH ADHD AND RELATIONSHIPS ARE AFFECTED

I think most people are aware of the devastation to a child's life and education that ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder) can cause.
Its described very well at the site of the new remedies I have been using:

Imagine living in a fast-moving kaleidoscope, where sounds, images, and thoughts are constantly shifting. Feeling easily bored, yet helpless to keep your mind on tasks you need to complete.

Distracted by unimportant sights and sounds, your mind drives you from one thought or activity to the next. Perhaps you are so wrapped up in a collage of thoughts and images that you don't notice when someone speaks to you.

For many people, this is what it's like to have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or ADHD. They may be unable to sit still, plan ahead, finish tasks, or be fully aware of what's going on around the.

But what many people don't realize is that adults suffer with this as well. Men and women with ADHD and relationships have a heck of a time making things work. Their jobs are often precarious due to the difficulty they have with focus and concentration.

Homeopathic Treatment for Kennel Cough

Important Homeopathic Treatment for Kennel Cough:

Drosera 9CH: Very good for the typical dry hacking cough. Probably the primary remedy.

Aconite 6C: A very early remedy to give when the first signs appear. Usually good when the pet seems well and within hours becomes ill...very quickly. If given in time, it can abort the whole infection. Excellent for calming the pet.

Spongia Tosta 6C: Drier, more hoarse, barking cough. Similar to the 'trained seal' sound people get.

Phosphorus 30C: Dry cough with flecks of blood in it...this may be leading to pneumonia. Increase their Pet Immune and Horehound.

Bryonia 30C: Dry cough with obvious pain. Cough may have moved deeper into the lungs. Dog feels better if you hold its rib cage while it coughs as the intercostal muscles (between the ribs) are very tender from the coughing.

FIGHTING DISEASE OF THE IMMUNE SYSTEM

BETA GLUCAN

FIGHTING DISEASE OF THE IMMUNE SYSTEM

AMBROTOSE...RESEARCH, STATISTICS..PROVE ITS NOT AS GOOD AS OUR BETA GOLD!

Beta 1,3-D gulcan works by activating the immune cells known as macrophages. These macrophages trap and consume foreign substances in the body. Dr. Joyce K. Czop, M.D. at the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology at Harvard Medical School states, 'A cascade of interactions and reactions initiated by the macrophage regulatory factors can be envisioned to occur and to eventuate in conversion of the glucan treated host to an arsenal of defense.'

Another function of glucan, very important to my clinic, is its ability to act as a strong antioxidant or free radical scavenger. I have a very large clientele of mercury toxic patients and work closely with amalgam-free dentists. Mercury and other heavy metals are free radical producers, initiating a cascade of tissue destruction and impaired function. In retraining the patient's detoxification mechanisms, one component which has to be addressed is liver phase I detoxification. This process needs vast amounts of antioxidant and glucans can help to provide that, along with the other factors I have the patients take in their protocol. See Mercury Detoxification page

History and How Glucans Works

A substance called Zymosan was discovered in the late 1940’s. Research showed that this product had several ways showing it fighting disease of the immune systme and activating immune properties. These properties were researched one by one until the 1960’s when Nicholas DiLuzio of Tulane University began experimenting with Beta 1,3-D Glucan. The glucan was discovered to be responsible for the immune activating response. Then, Beta 1,3-D glucan was introduced to human subjects in the 1970’s.

Antioxidants - Prevention Against Aging!

"Advanced Glycation Endproducts, or 'AGEs' as they're appropriately called, are the end result of the complex chemical process through which the structure of proteins is warped by exposure to sugars or by other, much more reactive molecules.

AGE chemistry is the cause of the 'browning' you see when you roast a chicken or make toast, but the same 'browning' chemistry is at work in your body every day of your life. In your arteries. In your kidneys. In your heart, your eyes, your skin, your nerves. In every cell, the sugar that your body uses for fuel is busily at work at this very moment, caramelizing your body through exactly the same chemical processes that caramelize onions or peanut brittle."

Home treatment for kennel cough, Kennel cough treatment

"KENNEL COUGH AND CARE OF YOUR PET:"

Kennel cough falls under the area of upper respiratory infections or 'colds' or 'tracheobronchitis'. The upper respiratory tract, which includes the nose, throat, (pharnyx), voice box (larynx),tracea (windpipe) and upper bronchi (largest air vessels leading into the lungs) is one of the easiest enteries into the animal's body.

Virus, baceria, etc can dry out and masquerade as dust. Dried secretions, scabs and the like, break down into tiny particles and can be inhaled in the air. All of this leads to pathways for infection for your pet.

There are several causes of coughing associated with tracheobronchitis, all of which get lumped under the general name 'kennel cough' at times. So it is possible for a dog to get kennel cough from two or three different causes in one lifetime. In addition to that, the most common cause of tracheobronchitis in dogs is probably Bordetella bronchiseptica infection, a bacterial infection...or it can be caused by various virus.

Immunity to this infection is not long lasting even after having the illness. Immunity probably lasts 6 to 12 months in most dogs and when it wears out they can get the infection again.

That is why its not only important to treat the problem, but also build their immune system back up to defend against re-infection.

Nutrition, Health Supplements and Cholesterol

Again, I'm asked almost daily..the best professional health products to lower cholesterol.

It's pretty common knowledge now that diet alone will not do the whole job, and there is no mystery to that. Our biochemistry or how we metabolize and use elements from our food is the key...and the MAIN key to how our bodies function...become ill or not.

The famous Framingham study showed us that people with low cholesterol levels ..still had heart attacks and some with very high levels did not...very confusing.

Recently science is starting to unveil critical information about the various steps in biochemical pathways within our cells which are the true regulators of cholesterol and heart health.

How to Keep Insulin Resistance Low

Insulin resistance and poor blood sugar maintenance are going to become two of the largest health concerns.

Particularly now, as the "Babyboomers" enter their mid fifties, having the income to eat and live well, although mostly not clinically "well", we are experiencing at the practitioner level - more and more of not truly diabetes but people dangerously near the edge.

Improving insulin resistance in diabetes 2 and those very close is completely manageable by the patient and their practitioner without medication.

New information on a hormone-like protein leptin has given us another tool to work with.

Knowledge of what foods stimulate secretion of the leptin hormone and the relationship of leptin and insulin gives every person a valuable edge on their health and prevention of further disease like cardiovascular problems.

A Prescription for Trouble

A Prescription for Trouble

This is link to a "say it like it is" ariticle on the safety of prescription drugs.

As Dr. Avorn writes..we naturally think that there are governing commitees that check that drugs are safe before they are released to the publics....and it just isn't so.

Most are tested by the drug company who made them in the first place ..now how safe is that?

And none are checked for long term usage...often very strong negative side effects don't occur until one has been taking the drug for some time.

Have you ever heard of drugs being tested together with other medications? No, of course not ...and yet how many people do you know of taking 4, 5, or 6 different prescriptions?

Flu Vaccine..Risks..Benefits

Each year in the fall, I am asked by my patients "Should I get the flu shot?" My general response is a resounding "No" !

These vaccines are preserved with thimerosal, a mercury derived preservative.
At the moment, all injections with this product in it are under consideration as a
possible causal factor in the current upsurge of autism amongst children. I do not
see this as an "allergic reaction to the flu or influenza shot" but a toxic reaction to a neurotoxin.

To vaccinate against flu (and childhood diseases) is in my opinion ridiculous and there are alternatives to the flu vaccinations.

There is an oral homeopathic flu vaccine...thimerosal-free made by Dolisos...

This toxin..thimerosal is injected into those most susceptible to its negative effects..older
people already with alzheimer's or on their way to it...and children..particularly infants
whose immune system has not fully developed!

I did a radio show with Dr. Boyd Haley..a well known and respected mercury researcher
and he point blank told me that "They don't work!...and they are dangerously filled with mercury!"

You can listen to that and other shows at www.y2khealthanddetox.com/radio.html

Cholesterol is NOT the enemy..it is a symptom of imbalance but not the "cause" of heart attacks or failure.

There is an intricate biochemistry involved that can be treated and changed naturally.

You can lower your cholesterol with herbs and supplements ..this has been done for eons by indigenous people who live closer to nature.
