Comments on Does This Natural Path Really Work?

I have a 5 year old pom newly diagnosed through a regular vet (x ray & gut instinct) with congestive heart failure. He said she was in the early stages of it. He put her on diuretic and Enalapril for her heart. I originally cooked her meals, but about 2 months ago switched to raw. I give a probiotic. Should I be adding L-carintine and taurine to her raw? I'm trying to find a homeopath, but live in a small town which looks like its going to be a 2hour drive. I want to act fast so she can live out her years happy and healthy as possible. Any advice would be greatly,greatly appreciated.

Hello Dr. Falconer. Thanks to finding your website I have had my 3 Aussies on a raw diet, they have only had the core vaccinations and won't have anymore, and I use only natural flea and tick repellent. My pack is healthier then ever. I do have one question concerning lymes disease. If a strong immune system can take care of heartworms, does that also apply to the lymes bacteria? Is a vital dog able to fight this off if they should get it and is there a warning sign that they are not? Thank you so much for all your help!

As a dog owner the abnormal CBC would concern me and I would want to get an accurate diagnosis asap. If it was my dog I would ask your vet if he thinks a referral to a specialist would help? Or consider making an appointment with a homeopathic vet in your area, I think the dog should be physically examined by a veterinarian before changing or adding to the current treatment regimen. Did the vet say the dog was anemic? He may recommend more testing to get to the bottom of this.
Just my 2 cents.

You might pick Dr. Falconer's brain over at Dogs Naturally. I got some Digestive Enzymes, essential minerals and Arabinogalactin to add to my cat's raw diet, the vomiting and weight loss stopped, gums pinked back up, labs improved. Antibiotics, steroids and vaccines do screw up an animal's gut; where I went wrong, myself. Takes little time to straighten them back out on the natural path, tho. Older pets don't seem to produce digestive enzymes sufficiently for good digestion, but I negatively affected them further with antibiotics! I know those weekly blood draws, etc. drain your wallet, but that's not why I abandoned Dr. Whitecoat. I just don't believe in that model anymore, because it isn't designed to cure, it's about profit.

My 9 yo English springer was on a raw diet for 2 years until recently he wouldn't eat it, noticed his gums were pale. My vet did blood work, showed no Lyme or heartworm. He has low platelet count and losing red blood cells and one low kidney value, vet put him on antibiotics for a week. Now he's on prednisone and carafate 2 times a day. He now will eat canned merrick. He had a abdominal ultrasound which was negative. His last vaccine was last year, he gets no more shots. He could not digest kibble, he would vomit 6 hrs later. Blood tests weekly,expensive. Any help would be appreciated .

Bittersweet that i didn't know everything I know now when my mom died of cancer at only 62. The cut/poison /burn doctrine killed her, surely.
The natural path saved me, and now it's keeping my animals from the same sort of torture. We've decided to move where there's proper care from a homeopath, because there aren't any here.
I've switched most of the cats to raw homade, and they are thriving! The more I read about enzyme function and nutritional support, the more sense it makes to give them undamaged proteins. At 13, Hampster is a giant kitten, romping and sparring with Blackie, who is half his age. Pookie, my little cancer patient is doing amazingly well despite a heart murmur, vaccine damage, a cavity and an abdominal tumor. Raw food and herbal support alone have gone a great ways, along with some floral essences from Green Hope Farm. She has such a strong life force, I believe she will get well with the right practitioner. We're headin' North!
The cats that own me are very grateful for the knowledge you share, Dr. Falconer, and I love the pictures from the natural path, because they remind me of my childhood on a farm in the Midwest where I roamed areas like that every day. I may not have to milk the cows anymore, but I'm still kinda a farm kid. I need to invent a pitchfork that works on litter.

Thanks so much for sharing all these naturally successful true stories. It helps us all to keep on track naturally. We try to make small changes to remove toxins in our pets lives and replace with natural solutions. To replace dr whitecoat with real healthy solutions for our pets. I love the success stories of what others have tried with their pets on the natural path that worked. It gives us all hope that there are naturally safer solutions that work better then dr whitecoat can ever prescribe. We do read the nasty comments at this site of those who are so closed minded that they cannot see the sunlight thru the trees. Its almost funny as they are so angry that so many of us are open minded and willing to find the most successful natural path. Some of the nasty trolls are paid by veterinary pharma to try and discourage open minded informed individuals by getting paid to write nasty comments to try and prevent us from getting real natural solutions that work. Just recently reading how a dog was given a death sentence because he had cancer and dr whitecoat prescribing chemo. Fortunately they said no to chemo and they were open minded and fed freshly crushed raw apricot seeds that contain Vitamin B17 and Laetrile and the dog's cancers shrunk and the dog survived and thrived. Please trolls get off this site and go back to where you came from. This site if for those that know the natural path works. Thanks again for helping us all stay on the natural path.
