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.
