I have the same question. I have used borax myself for a few years and it completely took away my arthritis. My cat has hip dysplasia and it can lead to arthritis. I hope someone knows the answer.

Gary, check up on your info. I think it's MUCH less black pepper than turmeric.

Hi Alan

Sounds like you are doing a wonderful job with your dog. I read that we should put equal parts of Black Pepper with Turmeric.

Increases Turmeric by 1000 times.

Something to think about, for better results.

Vitamin C, Turmeric, Manuka Honey for Mild Pyometra Infection in Dog

Have a 8yr old Silky names Sadie, not spayed or breed who was run over as a puppy. It broke her pelvis, leg and severed the nerves and tendons in the right rear leg. She had major surgery repairing what we could to make everything orthopedicly and anatomically correct. We used comfrey power and colloidal silver to promote the healing. No mico surgery for severed/displaced nerves/tendons of cause and we decided not to spay or breed her.

Sadie made a miraculous recovery controlling her natural right rear leg from the hip kinda like a prosthetic. She lives a normal life, can do most stairs, especially if carpeted and runs like a rabbit with both rear legs in unison. She wears a boot for long walks on pavement or concrete bc we soon realize her nails would wear down past the skin on the affected foot. She has no feeling in the foot so it takes a beating and was constantly becoming infected. When infected we would soak it in a jar of colloidal silver, and it took a while but finally got a boot that worked out and the nails have now grown back.

After her last heat, we noticed heavy pussy discharge and were worried that internal injuries she suffered as a pup were now resurfacing. Since she is used to colloidal silver and will lick it off a spoon so I gave her 1/2 tsp and 1 tsp regular honey which she also likes. I did this just knowing their immune support against infection.

Since starting that, I did some research, found out about Pyometra and found the site. After two days, I have now added the turmeric, C power and Manuka after she licks up the spoon of silver. It's much harder to implement these as they have to be forced down with a syringe but I have long believed in their effectiveness and taken these myself before.

It's day 3 and there is no more puss, the discharge is just thin like water.

I want to be clear Sadie was not acting sick or lethargic, we only noticed the discharge so probably was a mild infection or we caught it early. But I can confidently say I believe these treatments to be more effective and less disruptive than the prescriptions by the profiteers.

Saving the herbs for poultice is brilliant. Thank you for that tip.

  Re: Need Cat Constipation Suggestions - Pumpkin Not An Option

Hi Carol, I have a suggestion. Purchase some Chia seed from Aldie or wherever. Soak it in water about 1 to 4 ratio or chicken broth. It will swell up and look like cells holding all that liquid with the cat will need and its body to prevent constipation. Mix that into the wet cat food daily. I suggest just a couple of teaspoons with each meal & never feed the cat dry food. If you do have to feed the cat dry food food soak that in water or chicken broth also. As the cat ages, it gets more and more constipated. If it really is bad, you can reach a couple inches up above its tail and help to relieve the cat which I used to do with an old cat all the time. Meow mix wet food makes a pate that has extra gravy. I recommend that as well.

Hi Ron,

A quick update and note for others who may see this thread. First I made a small batch of the paste following your recipe. Loved it. When that ran out I made a second much larger batch, again following your recipe, but with the addition of a little clove, cinnamon, and cardamom powders. However, I did add a lot more distilled water the second time around to make the paste more spreadable/ less dry. I put the paste into 4 small containers with lids so that each person had their own paste. I also made sure we got the paste out of the container using a new Q-tip each time, rather than dipping in a toothbrush. Sadly, the paste smelled “off” rather quickly. And then after some time there were little white spots of mold growing on the paste. So I ended up throwing out all of the paste. I believe I added too much water for that batch. I am going to try again using little to no water, and add more coconut oil. I have both the liquid MCT oil and the more solid virgin coconut oil. I also plan to leave out the ground spice powders in case that somehow contributed to the spoiling, although I doubt it. But since I do have cinnamon and clove essential oil I'll just use that instead.

Is the protocol safe using 20 mule team borax? What is the directions for adult cats, to give them in their drinking water? I can't find where I read that. Thank you for giving me hope.

Upon reading healing dogs with manuka honey for pyometra. The best medicinal honey money can buy is the green umf 28 from newzealandhoneyco (link) The cost is £300 but would cost 10x that if taken to a vet. Leave nothing to chance!

Dear Linda,

I think the recommended dose is 5 ml once a day, but unless it causes diarrhea in your cat, I think you could dose it twice. While the herbs are powerful they are gentle to the system.

I read somewhere to give them five ml but it didn't say once a day or how many times a day can you please let me know how much I should be giving my cat I sure hope it makes a difference he's 21 years old and he acts like he's like 5 years old and the tumors getting bigger but he doesn't even act like it's bothering him which I'm sure it is but he's still eating washing himself up whatever and I feel so bad I just want to get this better for him so I did get the tea but I've been giving them twice so far I gave him five ml once a day and I don't know if that's enough and I'm also putting spirulina in his food.

Feverfew Tea Helped Itchy Cat

I have a cat that has been itchy and licking obsessively so much so that her stomach was bare and she had bare spots on her back legs. I went to the vet who prescribed prednisone. If you look up the side effects of such, you might pass out, as they are way worse than the itching and it probably would kill her. I first gave her a bath with lime sulfur and used a doughnut collar afterwards for a few days that did seem to help and then I heard on YT “Veterinary Secrets” that you could use feverfew tea. You make it just like regular tea using the herb feverfew, which luckily I grow. I took my cat and held her in the bathroom, so it didn't matter getting the floor wet. I used a clean sponge and gave her a sponge bath with the feverfew tea. I got her pretty wet with it. She didn't like the bath. However, since I held her, she wasn't as afraid as if I had put her in the tub. It seems to have worked. The places on each of her back legs have hair now that didn't before. I think it was mites that we're making her lick herself. I like this guy and will try this next time they have fleas! https://youtu.be/6EOVbcmUNw0

LDN (low dosage naltrexone) works for pets as well. No side effects. Try. Ask your veterinarian for a prescription.

Hi Melissa,

Are you able to reach the tumor inside the nasal cavity?

Castor oil and frankincense essential oil are both anti-tumor. You could put a drop of each on a q tip and apply to the tumor if you can reach it.

Essiac tea is another cancer remedy that may not be too hard to dose.

Blackstrap molasses has more nutrients than regular blackstrap, so I would go for that. It is generally not hard to find in stores and is pretty inexpensive.
