Genes And Proteins: The Stuff Of Life

It is very common for practitioners of modern medicine to prescribe topical therapies, e.g. some kind of cream or lotion for a variety of ailments ranging from dermatitis to wounds. How does this sort of local therapy fit into a homeopathic approach to healing? As I have spent an increasing number of years in homeopathy, I find myself using a decreasing amount of topical treatments. The reason for this is that I now recognize that symptoms appearing on the surface of the body are being caused by a disturbance within the interior of the organism. If this is so, treating topically to eliminate the symptom is missing the entire disease process. The results from this sort of symptom suppression can be quite serious.

The reason is that if one merely treats a superficial symptom of any disease process, the disease itself is allowed to progress until a more serious symptom appears usually indicating a further breakdown in the body's function. Another way of thinking of this is that the organism produces symptoms in an attempt to survive whatever is happening internally. If that symptom is removed pharmacologically or surgically, the organism will need to find another usually more serious symptom to survive.

Topical therapy with drugs like cortisone and all of it's derivatives (almost any medicine ending with sone) are great at removing symptoms. This is why they are of such grave danger to the whole being. Antibiotics and other drugs as well as many natural remedies have the potential to suppress symptoms without dealing with the true disease. The skin has a low electrical potential relative to more vital organs. Toxins, therefore, flow downstream to the skin via this electrical gradient. Effective topical treatments raise the electrical potential of the skin forcing the toxins to flow upstream to more important tissues. True healing e.g. the correct homeopathic remedy removes the imbalance that is producing the problem in the first place.

So when, where and what do I currently do in terms of topical therapy? I avoid it as much as possible in any condition that I believe is stemming from an internal disturbance. This is almost all skin rashes, ear problems and most eye problems. I do use topical therapy in wounds, burns or if an animal's suffering is great. Even in these situations, I use nothing more than cleanliness with water and natural soap and the application of coconut butter or sesame oil for lubrication and softening of the skin. The application of warm, moist compresses on ripening abscesses applied several times daily until drainage occurs is also acceptable. It is important that all of the above be combined with appropriate homeopathic therapy to cure any internal disturbance that may be present.

What A Difference Your Diet Has Made!

2009-03-13

I just wanted to write and tell you what a difference this new diet has made in my dogs' over–all health. I am awe struck and I have only had them on it for about three weeks.

I have two Chihuahuas and a Sharpei mix. My Sharpei (Nelly) had skin problems or allergies, I think due to the dog food I was feeding her. I could run the sweeper three times a day and still have hair everywhere. I was seriously thinking of finding a new home for her. I work two jobs and have teenagers and not enough time to sweep constantly.

That's when I started searching for a new diet for the dogs. I came across this and started it right away. It doesn't really consume anymore of my time and I don't have to sweep everyday anymore! I just can't get over the difference in their coats. They are so shiny and healthy looking. Thank you so much Jesse!

I actually enjoy feeding time for them. They love it. Even the finicky Chihuahua! And another great part about this is that they don't poop near as much as they used to. I know that Nelly would go at least six times a day if not more. I have learned so much from your website. I have read a lot of books about feeding a raw diet and one would say do this and the other one say don't do that and back and forth but none of it worked out for us and none of it was as simple as this is!

I just can't thank you enough.

The Transformation Speaks For Itself...

2010-08-19

I am writing to tell you of the transformation in my pets since they have started eating all raw meat.

I used to have to clean up cat vomit on a pretty much daily basis. Sometimes they would even vomit right into the kibble bowl. From DAY 1 on raw meat, none of my cats has vomited with two exceptions — someone fed one of the cats a piece of cooked ham, and one of them got up on the counter and ate some pancake batter. No surprise those foods made the cats sick.

They are all acting years younger. Neko (12, neutered male) has gone from hissing at everybody all the time to climbing in laps. Bitty (6, spayed female) is as playful as a kitten, and has already started losing unhealthy pudge. Ed (9, neutered male, king of the cats) is being a bit of a bully with the other cats (nobody is getting hurt) but he is being affectionate and playful with us humans.

Ed took to eating meat right away, but Bitty and Neko are still adjusting. They seem unable to believe the meat is really for them, and act like they are afraid to get caught eating it. An unexpected side benefit — I saw Neko eating a bug today. Don't worry, our home is not treated with pesticides, and that palmetto bug was a healthy snack for a too–skinny cat.

I can't thank you enough for making this information freely available. It surely leaves no doubt that your motivation is love for animals. Thank you for helping me to re–connect with my pets.

Sincerely – Virginia

Shining Bright

2005-03-10

Wynnie's coat shines like I have never seen it shine before. She also had a bowel condition that flared up every 1 to 2 weeks. Now these flare ups are 2 months apart. Her water consumption has been cut by more than two thirds. In closing, there are no words of appreciation that can express how thankful I am for your dedicated interest in the nutrition of dogs and cats.

— Heather and Wynnie
