Wondering if you can suggest a remedy for my dog that has food allergies. The only food that does not make him sick is the Hill's Z/D food sensitivities wet and dry food. I have tried a few time taking him off this diet and giving him other dog foods, but after a month or two he gets sick.
Just wondering if there is a remedy so I can feed him normal dog food.
Regards,
Rose

As for the oil suggestion, I suggested coconut oil for longer term storage because the oil itself is not going to spoil where as other oils like olive can go rancid. As for the rest of the ingredients, the black walnut main ingredient is likely to have all types of trace organic matter in it.

Bicarbonate reserves will hit critical mass after they are replenished and the pancreas would no longer need them after a time. Baking soda dosing may go for 6-8 weeks. I would personally add a bit of cider vinegar to the dog's food, like a 1/2 tsp each feeding if possible. diluted in water and soaked into the food. this would prevent over alkalization or accumulation of excess bicarbonates during the experimental phase of trying to calm the ketoacidosis.
Longer term baking soda dosing could lead to stones in kidney / gallbladder.

The D.E. that is so dangerous to breathe is HEAT TREATED so that the water soluble mineral (silica) within it becomes crystalised nearly throughout, so has a very large percentage of sharp & dangerous edges throughout it. This of course causes a lot of tissue damage, whether ingested or breathed in... .
However, FOOD GRADE D.E. has extremely small & few sharp edges, so that it doesn't even cause harm to ingest it ... in fact, it has actually been found to improve digestion, as well as health in general, to have it added in acceptable amounts to one's diet ... whether human or animal.... OF COURSE, breathing it is no more a good idea than breathing organic house or garden dust ... dust just isn't good for our lungs. However, it CANNOT do the harm that the Pool-Gade, HEAT-TREATED D.E. is very capable of!
I invite you, & anyone else who wants to understand how safe F.G.D.E. is, to please read this article:

What can I purchase from you addressing the above subject. TRð¶ð¶PER a nine yr Golden Retriever was diagnosed with this serious skin cancer… I feel surgery, Chemo, Radiation is not an option for his case. ASAP I need to start him on something that may benefit him and extend his life. Kimberly

Your mention of turning grey or blue would require a cat to drink a gallon of this a day and that probably still wouldn't do it. You apparently much prefer topical chemicals like flea meds that literally burn the hair off and scar the skin it is applied to.
Please get a clue and stop repeating asinine Pharma Lore. You obviously don't know a thing about what you are talking about.

Our cat had severe constipation, life threatening, and it completely turned around within 3 days doing the following:
For the first 3- 6 days we gave him triple/quadruple doses of Smooth BM Gold (Pet Wellbeing) which is essentially a liquid form of Triphala with bacon flavor. Then, gave him a dose 2x/day for the next couple weeks. We also used Colon Rescue by Animal Essentials at their dosage recommendations.
Fresh aloe vera gel, 1-2 Tablespoons, given via syringe into mouth, 3x/day for fiber and to increase fluid intake. Did this for 2-3 weeks.
Eliminated ALL dry foods and only have him high quality wet foods with no grains or beans (New Zealand meats). We figured out that a new food my husband started to give him, which was dry, caused the problem.
Fresh filtered water daily.
Now, he continues to eat wet foods and has normal bowel movements. We think simply using high doses of the Pet Wellbeing product and eliminating the dry food would have probably worked.

Add magnesium chloride crystals to drinking water of the pet. Chances are magnesium levels are low if giving city / tap water. R/O water systems remove any that would be in the water. Remineralization stages do not add nearly enough back in. Fortunately, I innerstand that we along with our animals came from an evolution of drinking water in nature, which naturally has a magnesium salt content. Or eating in the wild, natural magnesium oxide content. Magnesium chloride is a great substitute. Ever since I give it to my dog and cat they both have lost their previous issues with ahrd stool or crystals in their kidneys causing pain when they pee.
I always ask my fellow animal lovers if they're aware there is next to no magnesium in public water, and if they're able to use common sense to connect that with thier animals' issues not being able to poop or pee right. They typically are ignorant to this. And even respond with high skepticism or innocent arrogance. It's simple though. Common sense. Anyways.Magnesium can cause loose stools if given too much. But it can also cause loose stools to go regular in animals and humans .
How much to give?
I go by Ted's recommendations. As practicing tjhem for near a decade, they hold true.
Mix up a dropper bottle with half magnesium chloride crystals, and half pure water. the crystals dissolve instantly.
Add 1 drop for every cup of water in your water jugs you keep at home. Thats about 16 drops.
For initial magnesium repalcement though, I add extra to their water bowls or food. Start low and work up.
a 5 lb cat would need only a single drop of magnesium in it's daily water intake. I may give him 2 drops in his water cup for the day. Adding it to his food sometimes causes GI upset if it isnt thoroughly mixed, so adding half a drop would suffice for food.
a 60 lb dog can have up to 3 drops of magnesium per feeding. 6-8 drops total per day.
a 140 lb human could have 10 drops per day minimum. more if theyre deficient.
