Comments on Damn the Diagnosis! Get on With Cure!

When I was diagnosed with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH), I was overwhelmed. The breathlessness, fatigue, and tightness in my chest made even the simplest tasks feel impossible. Despite trying conventional medications, my condition didn’t improve the way I had hoped. That’s when I came across NaturePath Herbal Clinic and everything changed.From the moment I reached out, their team listened with compassion and care. They designed a personalized herbal therapy tailored specifically for my PAH symptoms. Within a few weeks of starting the treatment, I began to notice significant changes: my breathing became easier, my energy levels improved, and the tight pressure in my chest eased noticeably.Now, I can do things I thought I’d lost forever like taking a walk without feeling completely drained. NaturePath didn’t just treat my condition they gave me my life back.If you're struggling with PAH and looking for a natural alternative that truly works, I highly recommend NaturePath Herbal Clinic. Their knowledge, support, and powerful herbal solutions made all the difference for me.

Im new to here and I'm in great need of a holistic Vet for my 2 chihuahuas..The only holistic vet I know in my area in Massachusetts still requires vaccinations. My poor male has bad scratching and needs anal glands released monthly even though his stools are firm. I believe his issues are vaccine related with all I've been learning lately. I do not want them to be vaccinated any longer but no vet will see them for a sick visit if they're not vaccinated. It would be great if you have a list of vets... Ive done essential oils in the past with no luck and I do apply redox signaling molecules since he will not drink it.
Thank You! Anne

Great article! I realised several years ago that conventional medicine is not designed to cure, but to manage symptoms. I saw this with my previous two dogs for whom I did everything that the vet told me to do because I thought I was being a responsible owner. What I ended up with was two very sick dogs. After much research and reading, I finally decided to ditch the poison. I now am a firm advocate for homeopathy and my current two dogs rarely need to see a vet and, in contrast to my previous dogs, are in great health. One dog does suffer seasonal allergies from grass, pollen etc, but nothing that a good quality Quercetin can’t handle.

I actually found a holistic vet near me in Austin called Dr Falconer but he doesn't take any new patients. I moved from NJ and haven't liked the treatment for my beloved sweet maltese and was so happy to call and make an appointment but to my disappointment I will have to continue my search. In the meantime I will read what I can on these newsletters. I don't feel confident enough to do my own holistic remedies. Hopefully I will find a vet so my beautiful baby can stop itching all the time. If anyone has a recommendation for a vet near Austin TX area please let me know.

I have a 16 month old puppy that has had no vaccines and weaned to raw... homeopathic vet and homeopathic practitioner using several different remedies and this poor puppy still has ear issues.. nothing I am doing is working. He has not eaten chicken in over 6 months. He was given 1 steroid shot for a misdiagnosed issue that the vet thought was HOD. I am at a loss while this puppy continues to shake his head every time he walks.

I'm so glad to have watched your videos. It's such a relief to be able to learn from an enlightened vet. It's very difficult to find one who practices homeopathy.
My 6 year old 8 pound Balinese male had to have all of his teeth removed. I feed him raw chicken, turkey and beef(and will try the game hen), but am unsure of the proper source of calcium I should be feeding him and how much. Multivitamins are an issue, since they add herbs that cats should not have. Also he has severe constipation and only moves his bowels twice a week and his stools are small and hard as a rock. I added ghee to his pureed food. Also hemp CBD and Standard Process glandular support. I've tried Calc Carb, but don't see results. My reference books say Nux Vom, Graphites. Christopher Day suggests Alumina (seems to be best fit of all and will order it tomorrow), Silicea, Thuja.
Thank you I sincerely appreciate receiving your information.

I am wondering if any of this can help my collie with dry eye that is suddenly getting much worse. I have not done any vaccinations now for probably 5 years or so, but before this, she was vaccinated once in my care- I got her at about a year and a half old through rescue. She had the dry eye right away and has been on cyclosporine ointment for years and had been doing fine. Until about 3 months ago, then this ointment stopped working. Now the vet has prescribed Tacrolimus- I really don't want to use this stuff. I home cook for my two collies and am careful with their environment and rarely to never use drugs or poisons. Can anything help her now?

Dr. Falconer,
Do you have any recommendation for feeding our 14.8 yr old JRT raw food? He has been on a home cooked liver friendly diet for the last 1.5 years along with Ursidiol, Denamarin, Marin Plus & Curcuvet. Just recently his liver values, cholesterol & platelets have increased dramatically. The vet put him on lactulose, pepsid, antibiotics & 15-20% protein (cod, tuna & turkey with rice & potatoes) even though he has no signs of HE. Within one day of these meds he refused to eat any of his food. We thought we were going to have to put him down. The last attempt was to stop all meds and add a moderate dose of Prednisolone and let him eat anything he would eat. I went and bought his old favorite raw rabbit dog food (Primal frozen) and he gobbled it up. He is now doing much better after 5-6 days on this food & steroid. A recent ultrasound shows his liver has enlarged from a year ago, along with more sludge, no masses or blockages seen. We opted over a year ago not to do a liver biopsy because of his age and lack of symptoms. If not liver disease, the vet thinks possible cancer.
I just want him to continue to eat even though all the vets think I'm crazy to feed a dog with a compromised immune system raw meat. Do you know of any raw meat diets that would be helpful to him and his liver? I was thinking of the RX Darwin liver food. Thank you.
Ps- He had been raw fed since a puppy up until about 1.5 yrs ago when switched to a home cooked very low fat liver friendly diet. He only had his puppy shots (titers later years), filtered water and no chemicals used in or outside of our home. He has always had horrible teeth.

Hi Dr. Falconer, what is your opinion on whether or not homeopathy could be used as an adjunct therapy at a humane society? I work at a humane society and we have an animal trauma center dedicated to homeless animals, they even have animal EMTs that rescue injured, sick and abused/neglected animals. While many do survive there are quite a few who don't, parvo puppies, abuse, neglect, hit by car etc. These animals are amazingly resilient despite the horrific conditions they endure. These vets do everything they can with the limited resources i.e. conventional medicine.
A little background: I am a Classical Homeopath, I am working towards a Vet Tech certification and a certification in veterinary homeopathy. I have this crazy vision of homeopathy being used by these conventional vets and seeing the recovery time of their patients cut in half. I would like to see the EMTs use the homeopathy in the field as well. However, I see a two-fold problem, 1. The majority of the vets have never heard of homeopathy. 2. The agency is non-profit and their donors have a right to know what their money is being spent on, (drugs), and who knows if they would be open to a more gentler, non-suppressive, more affordable medicine that works! I have a feeling they would, I think the problem would be with the conventional vets and Big Pharm.
Of course the benefits would be limitless, the difficult part would be convincing even one vet..or would it?
Impossible??

Having this information brought to the light really makes me think about my own dog's situation. She was a rescue with unknown history other than being an ex mill dog. The month after I brought her home, she came down with severe pneumonia and had to be hospitalized. Thoughts were that it was due to brachycephalic syndrome and that surgery was needed to shorten palate, remove tonsils and saccules.
All surgeries were executed but her pneumonia continues. She has had bouts of it about every other month for over two years now. Antibiotic therapy has been the protocol along with steroids to help her breath better. Kind of a catch twenty two. Now I am learning she has the symptoms of pulmonary intertitial fibrosis with a possibility of pulmonary hypertension. I am supposed to be scheduling tests to confirm both of these. Add to this she has had mast cell tumors, one was high grade removed with not clear margins, the second was low grade clear margins. All tumors were removed and so far not returned. Ooh..and if that isnt enough, she has allergies to boot. I am at my wits end and dont know which fire to put out first as I am sure they are all related somehow. Do you have any insight for me? She is the sweetest soul who has been thru so much in her lifetime. I just want a normal life for her. Thank you for your time.

i too have found your Vital Animal News terrific!
i had a dog who i believe died sooner than he should of cause he was on apoquel. he developed many lumps and tumors and one went to his brain.
my other dog was on apoquel as well. shortly after my Basil died i went to your homeopathic vet page and found a homeo one about an hour away who also does phone consultations.
i began seeing him in February, tapered off on the apoquel and today he is still very itchy and red. i have used several homeopathics and nothing yet.
it is very disturbing but i know i don't want apoquel. and like you said in this past newsletter i don't think its any food he is eating, so no allergy tests! i feed raw.
i have used sulpur, psor, and phos---i believe they are all skin homeo's, nothing has worked. i seem to stop for whatever reason (he tells me to). i think some things need more time. i would think he would know. i will talk to him thursday. i am losing faith here (as well as money!).
you have any thoughts for us? keep up the faith?
in the beginning he said it would take several months but i thought it would be spent on one homeo. i'm thinking that perhaps since my dog was on apoquel for over a year it takes a long time to repair his immune system as well as "cure" the initial problem.
thanks for all the information....tina

Been there....done that.....lessons learned the hard way. Last summer we caught 5 raccoon and a bunch of possum inside our fenced yard. A few showed signs of possible rabies, and 1 was definitely advanced. We decided that our 3 yr old dog, Tucker, needed 'just one rabies shot'. Within 2 weeks the itch/chew/scratch cycle had become firmly established. Tucker had been raw fed since 12 weeks, no other vaccines, treats were single ingredient dehydrated meat, and we don't use chemicals in the house or yard. So I naturally expected to quickly cure this problem with the usual holistic remedies and homeopathy I use for all our people and pets. Didn't happen. He'd get better for a week, then worsen. Since you weren't accepting new patients at the time I found one on the list and have been so pleased with her. There was an immediate slight improvement and within a month his symptoms had reduced about 70%! It took about 2 months to clear everything, and Tucker has been a very happy fella with NO undue itching since then. Dr Pat also helped my 18 yr old kitty, Baby, to overcome 10 yrs of conventional suppressive treatments for skin/kidney issues. We could have taken a nice Hawaiian vacation for what we spent on trying to help Baby thru the years. Knowing that she isn't suffering any longer is the best feeling! Your work in educating us is far more valuable then you will ever know - countless lives have been changed for the better because we have been given options! Thanks, doc!

In Sept 2015, our 9 yr old beagle had a possible seizure like "episode". Another in Feb 2016, April 2016 and May 2016. The first two "episodes", I treated with Rescue Remedy and Frankincense essential oil (doTerra). The last two "episodes", I treated with Rescue Remedy, Frankincense and Cocculus 30c. Took her to our conventional vet for diagnostic blood work, x-rays, urine, etc to rule out tumors, kidney failure, etc. All tests negative.Even home tested her urine PH levels, which were in normal range.
Contacted our homeopathic/holistic vet, Dr. Pat Bradley (a colleague of Dr. Will's) and began treatment. April 2015, I changed from a kibble based diet to Darwin's raw, and Zignature canned. After further research, I stopped ALL canned and beginning Feb 2016, now feed ONLY a raw diet. Our beagle has NOT had ANY further "episodes" since beginning treatment. She does, however, have a chronic ear problem, which we are continuing to deal with, homeopathically.
We have 3 dogs and all are undergoing homeopathic treatment for the vaccines and surgeries (spays and dental extractions) from previous years. They each have their own problems from vaccinosis and high quality, bad diet (kibble). We stopped ALL vaccinations in May 2012 on our older two. Our latest rescue just turned 3 yrs and we've never vaccinated him, however, he was 4.5 mons old when we found him and shows signs of rabies vaccinosis. He had a severe case of Demodex mange and over 20 severely infected puncture wounds (septic) all over his body (which were NOT animal bites). He was only fed kibble for a year and has been on raw the last 2 yrs. He has NOT been neutered, nor do we have any plans of doing so.
It is a S L O W process to treat homeopathically but amazing to watch them go through different stages of detox and healing on their way to better health.
Words can not and do not express my feelings toward Dr. Will and Dr. Pat. I know they are doing the absolute best for our pets. These two are truly a God-send. I believe that ALL animals are Angels that are placed here for us to take care of and having these two amazing vets to help us along our journeys is more than I could hope for. Thank you both for everything. ♥♥♥♥

I'm totally on board with holistic care for myself and my animals (organic, raw food, titres instead of shots, essential oils for flea/tick prevention etc.) and it's worked well for all. Just last year a vet who claimed he'd never had side effects from giving vaccinations had to be called back to the barn after 3 horses showed side effects - one horse was losing balance in it's hind end! Expensive denial for those owners.
I think animal owners agree to regular tests and treatment out of a desire for a quick fix and anxiety over their pet's condition. In my experience with homeopathy, most times the right remedy will work immediately but I'm wondering if some conditions just take time. My holistic horse vet told me that over vaccinating caused a rescue horse I had to lose lots of hair in patches and that it would take time for a new coat to grow in which it did with her suggestions. She said better that toxins come out to the skin than stay inside.
Now I have a rescue dog who was found in a pipe 2 years ago and had toxic interventions (flea treatment, rabies shot) within a short period of time before I got him shortly thereafter. He's been healthy and happy until a few weeks ago when he got a small cut on his paw that became inflamed. I'm working with a holistic vet who did lymph treatments and gave me a topical spray and Heel Mix 5 drops, plus an oral curcumin/ boswellia blend. It's better and not as sore but still not back to normal.
I know a regular vet would give me antibiotics and steroids and I can't bring myself to use them. I'm holding out for a cure and not suppression.

I am so glad for the information on your site--I never did find a local homeopath, but I found rubrics and cell salts and a couple of online stores that sell remedies with instructions. A big part of my little cat's recovery has been DIET. I am a total believer that food is the secret. I have loaded her up with minerals and cancer fighting substances. A well chosen remedy and a great diet...makes for a real CURE. Not just cheaper than endless tests, better in every way!
I was looking at Pookie's tail where there was a black spot near the end, and feared she was developing a fungus. With a pair of high magnification glasses I looked closely...the black spot was a crop of silky dark tail hair beginning to grow in! She's been an old gray girl for years, her dark coat had largely disappeared. Exciting, huh!
The tooth issues have resolved as well on ORMUS and raw food. The pulp was showing in four teeth and they bled each time I brushed in the back, no matter how gently I went with the brush. Dr. Whitecoat has been demanding I yank five teeth, and I flatly refused, hoping to save them. I made her some home-made ORMUS toothpaste to rebuild the teeth. I can see the enamel is closing and the bleeding has stopped. The teeth are less painful and she's eating bigger meals now, gaining weight. When the teeth are healed, the cancer will be gone, but I'm carrying on with the raw diet and supplements. I may try her toothpaste on my own broken tooth, minus the "fish flavor".
The weird, curled claws are normal now after giving the remedy Silica for a few months. I tried others, but Silica was the one that worked. It was freaky--her claws curled around and grew into her toe pads, cutting into the flesh, and because they were so curved, it looked like she was holding a quarter between each of her toes. She fell off of things because she couldn't grasp with them. Now they look normal and they retract! Name any drug that could do that!
Thank you for being you, Doc.

I am so glad to get your newsletter. You have a way of cutting through all the confusion we are faced with when trying to determine a course of action to help our beloved pup. We are about to have our 11 yr. old Aussie x-rayed for suspected laryngeal paralysis - tomorrow. He has been panting increasingly heavily and coughing - a dry hack with nothing coming up. It finally became too much to watch without doing something. Took him to a hospital for small animals. They did an x-ray without sedation and found his lungs to be fine.
From my reading, I believe this is a result of rabies vaccination. He has had 4 in his lifetime. How I wish we had realized the dangers long ago. There is more to the story, but I hope I can find a homeopathic remedy to help him. Any suggestions?
