Some people have experienced even greater benefits from simply feeding homemade food. The one thing I have discovered is that nothing surprises me. The stories I have heard from people and the things I have seen are absolutely incredible and heart stopping. I have heard of cats clearing all of their symptoms of feline urilogical syndrome, feline leukemia, and even feline AIDS after incorporating wholesome food.

One lady told me she saw a remarkable change in her cat. Her cat had a behaviour problem that none of us would want. Her cat would go to the washroom, but never in the kitty litter. However, after introducing wholesome food, the cat began using the kitty litter.

How wholesome food will benefit your pet is a question only your pet can answer. Some pets are able to clear all of their symptoms, other make amazing improvements and still some see nothing major happen in the short term.

Our health, along with the health of our pets, is not only affected by what we do in this lifetime, but health is affected by what previous generations have done or didn't do. There are instances where people, including myself, have done everything humanly possible yet our pets still suffer from health problems. In these situations, what's important is to realize we did the best we could and we did everything with love.

In some cases, the benefits of wholesome homemade pet food may come down the road by reducing vet bills (this is a pleasant problem to have disappear), or by having the pet live a few years longer and helping the pet live a good, healthy and robust life.

Personally, I experienced a profound impact. Morris My Cat, who at age 15½ could no longer get up the stairs unless I carried him, began first walking and then running up the stairs within about a month of eating wholesome food. In addition, by spring, when he was outside a lot, he began jumping our 3 foot high fence. Morris My Cat, who was dying at the time that I made the switch to wholesome food, lived nearly two more wonderful years after the introduction of wholesome food.

I've also had the opposite happen. Katherine, affectionately known as Katy, was diagnosed with lymphoma. She was given 6 weeks to live and the question is why? Why could a dog eating natural food get cancer? The reason lies in the health of previous generations. Although I did not cure Katy, she did live for an extra 4 months and we experienced many miraculous healing events. I wish that we would have known sooner about her disease, but alas it was not meant to be that way.

I always tell people that there are 3 things that affect health:

1. diet
2. love
3. genetics

We can control the diet and love, but unfortunately, we cannot control the genetics.

So why do people like me feed wholesome food and why according to my definition are commercial pet foods not to be classified as a wholesome food?

Well, to understand the answer to the above questions, let’s take a closer look at our pets. By understanding the principles of why we should be feeding wholesome and natural foods to our pets, not only will questions be answered for us directly, but we will begin to discover how to answer questions on our own... because we are after all our best teacher. As wise sages of India say, "The Guru is within".

Understanding principles is like sowing seeds. Just as with seeds, once a health principle is planted in your mind it will begin to sprout, flourish, and grow into new knowledge. Soon, you will begin to answer your own questions. Maybe it’s hard to understand how you will teach yourself, but with time, you will understand what I mean.

I believe that regardless of what you do, you should always have fun. So, let’s pretend we’re in a movie theater. You’ve got the popcorn and I’ve got the drinks. We’re going to watch a movie of words. The movie is called Pets Need Wholesome Food Also.

Let’s sit back as we begin to visualize this exciting movie of words.
