I absolutely LOVE this post. Truer words have never been written. We gotta do better if we are to beat big medicine at their game. These are the remedies of our ancestors. Someone took a chance, did the research & applied common sense. We have become mindless slaves to big medicine. We say we don't want to take a pill but the instant someone recommends an alternative home remedy we shun them & call them a QuackaDoodle. Yet none of us have a clue about what pharmaceutical companies are really packing in those plastic capsules...Chemicals & byproducts of even more dangerous chemicals. If the junk inside the plastic capsule was so great...why are you here? They will write you a rx for xyz but NEVER ask, "What are you eating? Do you exercise? How about fresh air?" NO ONE ever died of healthy positive living. Common sense is priceless...if you or your family member(pets included) is unwell do the research. Read very old medical books(before 1900 if possible), old Farmer's Almanacs or talk to old Veterinarians or ex field medics. Do missionary work, they make do w/ limited resources. Listen to your inner voice...if you learn about a new home remedy, research then introduce SLOWLY. Make a written log of what you are doing & be very aware of the changes your body is experiencing. Remember not every side effect is a bad thing. The crap gotta escape somehow. We got ourselves into this mess by blindly trusting people we thought had our best interests at heart. It's your body, your responsibility, So listen to it! ***Home remedies do not replace all medical problems. Seek care whenever life is threatened but never be afraid to ask questions. Be Well, Everyone.

Re: Cat With Cancer

TinasCats (Riverside CA) on 11/30/2024

Hi Nancy,

In all the years I have been reading about cancer and treatments... I'm not a vet or anything but what I learned is Cancer is good cells gone bad. These bad cells can be reversed. The vet will always recommend something that makes them money. But when they do surgery there's no turning back. When there are cancer cells present while they are cutting human or animal they can't tell if they cut one of those cells open. If (there's no if) that happens it spreads 10 MILLION more cells. When they tell humans after cancer surgery "it looks like we got it all". That's BS and the patient will soon find out they have cancer through out their body. Radiation and Chemo is devised to kill. Do not fall for the pressure the doc/vets are trained to scare you into doing more damage. CBD oil for pets while you research natural remedies. There's a book called The Natural Cat that has diets and remedies. Diet is so important. DO NOT vaccinate your pets. Animals did not used to have the problems that they do today. Most of which is caused by vaxes and store bought pet food. SMALLS is where I buy food for my cats online. One last thing touching, petting ect is vital when you do feel the love for the pet they get so much from that.

Re: Scabies

Aliza (NY) on 11/28/2024

Making a paste out of baking soda with water and putting it on the affected areas of your body also gets rid of them because they cannot live in the alkaline. Scabies only gets into material things such as curtains, furniture, mattresses, clothes, bedding. They do not get into, hardwood floors, marble floors, doors, walls.

I am a truck driver and when I had to swap into our spare truck, I picked up scabies. That was back in July. Wasn’t my first rodeo. The first time I got them was the very end of 1986. The first time you get them, it can take anywhere from 14 days to two months before you’re totally broke out. After the first time of getting them, for most will break out in the first 24 hours.

I bought Sulfur candles and fumigated my tractor. If you live in a house, not an apartment building you must remove all your food, medicines, spices everything out of your refrigerator. Unplug your electronics. It doesn’t hurt your electronics. And then after you fumigate, you cannot go back in there for at least 24 hours after you light the candle. But it will kill every creepy, crawly thing in there, including the scabies.

Homeopathic Thuja 30C is frequently used to detox after vaccines for both humans and animals. Chlorella also helps with vaccine detox. A feline liver support formula may also help.

I took my healthy, active, animated, 5 month old male Tabby Cat, to the vet for his neutering, 11/31/2024, and a few days later, he's displaying many of the symptoms, described here. My kitten returned from his vet visit, weird from the sedation, and slept a lot, however, for the following 2 days, he was still playful with me, and seemed to recover very well, from his surgery. On the following Sunday morning, I noticed that he had vomited on the floor, and he seemed lethargic, not running around or playing, uninterested in eating or drinking water, which he loves. He's just sad and pathetic acting and looking, not even interested in grooming himself, anymore, and looks a mess. He vomited a few more times, that day would not poop or pee, and none of these symptoms were present, before his shot. Today, Monday, Nov 25, I took him to the vet, who made every excuse in the book, for his symptoms, except a possible adverse effect from the Rabies shot. My kitten was severely dehydrated, so the Dr gave hydration injection, and prescribed meds for the nausea, and sent us home. I've been giving my kitten water and small amount of wet cat food, in that syringe, to hydrate and nourish him, but he's still all listless, doesn't meow or interact with me, and just wants to sleep. Left to his own devices, he will starve and die, and I'm very afraid, at this point.

Re: Borax for Arthritis

Katzie (Cancun, Mexico) on 11/22/2024

Yes, you are missing something. In fact, if you believe your top 4 or 5 google results and look no further, that's on you and you're missing alot. Did you even read the borax/arthritis posts on E.C.? Placed here by those of us who have experienced significant and real results after using it? Did your google search tell you that borax is simply a salt mined from dried up salt-lake beds? I mean, c'mon, ya gotta try harder than that. I use borax for mÃºltiple things and I make sure to put a pinch of it in my water daily, 'cause if I don't, my arthritis symptoms come right back. I'm sorry that you didn't bother to look further into it and did not believe and/or read our posts on it. Good luck.

Garlic and Cats

Vera (Colorado) on 11/15/2024

A few more notes on garlic and thiosulfate. All the sources that I have seen do not explain the supposed toxicity to cats. AI does not report any cats harmed by it. There are people completely panicked and asking web vets for help, just because their cat "may have" chewed on a clove, or actually at one. The vets said that it would take 3-6 cloves to cause problems, and that the ingestion would need to be chronic. Also, the AI says that thiosulfate is not toxic, but used as a poison antidote. Unless I see more convincing info, I don't believe this to be an issue in practical terms. To urge cat owners to go to ER immediately upon ingesting a bit seems irresponsible.

Here is another answer from AI: "Based on the available research, thiosulfate appears to be generally well tolerated in cats. There is no evidence to suggest that thiosulfate has inherent toxicity to cats. In fact, thiosulfate is often used to treat cyanide poisoning in animals, including cats, as it helps convert cyanide into thiocyanate, reducing its toxic effects."

Garlic and Cats

Vera (Colorado) on 11/14/2024

Art, when I ask if there is real evidence that garlic harms pets, I am asking for actual cases of damage. I have a bad experience with "official sources." Sad, I know. But there it is. Has a cat ever died from eating garlic? Or from being fed garlic as a dewormer? (I have been intending to deworm the stray that recently adopted me.)

They say that thiosulfate harms red blood cells. Why would this damage only cat (or dog) red blood cells and not anyone else's? Baffled.

Garlic and Cats

Art (California) on 11/14/2024

Hi Vera,

There are quite a few articles on the web from known sources discussing how garlic and other members of the allium family such as onions is toxic to dogs and cats because of its thiosulfate content. On the other hand, thiosulfate is not toxic to humans. Some of you may remember thiosulfate as a remedy that Ted often used for humans. Here are a couple of example articles with this first one being from the American Kennel Club (AKC) :

https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/nutrition/can-dogs-eat-garlic/

https://bottletreeanimalhospital.com/blog/what-should-i-do-if-my-dog-eats-garlic/

Here is a relevant quote from their article :

' Yes, garlic is potentially dangerous to dogs. This is because garlic and related plants such as onions are toxic to dogs. Garlic can cause anemia and signs of toxicity when eaten in high enough amounts. All forms of garlic are potentially toxic to dogs. These forms of garlic include ':

Raw garlic
Cooked garlic
Garlic powder
Garlic paste
Pickled garlic
Liquid garlic
Garlic oil
Any food with any type of garlic in it

https://www.petmd.com/cat/poisoning/can-cats-eat-garlic

A relevant article quote :

'Whether cooked or raw, garlic is toxic to cats, and your pet should never eat it in any form, including :

Garlic cloves
Jarred minced garlic
Garlic powders and salts
All homemade or prepackaged foods containing garlic (including baby foods and broths) '

' Garlic is a bulbous vegetable belonging to the genus Allium, which also includes onions, chives, and leeks. None of these should ever be included in your cat’s diet or treats. '

' Garlic contains a toxic compound called sodium n-propyl thiosulfate. This toxin causes damage to red blood cells, making them fragile and leading to their breakdown and destruction (hemolysis). Hemolysis results in anemia in addition to red or brown urine discoloration. Anemia means the body’s organs are no longer getting enough oxygen and, in severe cases, can result in organ failure and death. '

'Garlic poisoning can become life-threatening and should be treated as a medical emergency. If your cat ingests garlic, take them to the vet immediately. Do not wait until they are acting sick. '

Animals are a gift from the angelic realm that we can learn from, and they can not tell us when they are sick or in distress so it seems worthwhile for us to exercise as much caution as is possible in what we feed or give to them to eat.

Garlic and Cats

Vera (Coloardo) on 11/14/2024

There are some people saying garlic is toxic to cats, and even dogs, on the webs. Yet the famous herbalist Juliette de Bairacli Levy treated her pets with garlic, no problem. I followed her recipe for garlic enemas for puppy worms with complete success. Does anyone have *real evidence* that this is an issue?

Auralsplint for Hematomas in Dog

Daniel Whitton (Justin, Texas USA) on 11/13/2024
5 out of 5 stars

Dog aural hematoma is very confusing to most. Very expensive to surgical repair and surgery fails over 50% with regard to recurrence after sutures are removed. Not to mention the amount of pain and suffering the animal, and owner goes through while cleaning and draining the blood from the ear flap for 2-3 weeks after being sent home with an open wound. Owners should not have this responsibility. Even more, the dog should not be cut open for a blood blister to heal. Granted the arterial break is gong to be the problem until pressure is applied and causes sealing. It happens in nature when the hematoma grows complete and the blood clots. The dog uses this clot to seal and to regrow tissues. We at Auralsplint discovered this in 2001, and since that day have been researching and improving an aural splint treatment to heal the ear in its natural shape, without surgery or pharma injections. Just natural healing while safely enclosed in a splint and taping, forming a thin layer of clot to reduce quickly without shrivel. Far greater results than any other conservative or surgical attempts to treat. Visit us at Auralsplint.org to research your choice to order a Rx kit to your vet clinic or at home to use yourself. It requires a hypodermic needle aspiration before treatment and clean technique must be maintained.

Arnica for Aural Hematoma in Dogs

Daniel Whitton (Justin, Texas) on 11/13/2024

That is great news. Must have been a smaller seroma. For the big balloon sized aural hematomas, no amount of ointment will keep it from shriveling. the size of the resulting clot is the largest determining factor to amount of shrivel. By removing the blood before it clots and applying an aural splint, the blood will be forced to clot in a thin layer, enabling all the benefits and very little of the consequences of shriveling. All we do is help heal aural hematoma in dog. Auralsplint.org

Re: Dog With Heart Murmur

Thankful (Louisiana) on 11/10/2024

Julie,

My Vet prescribed the usual 3 medicines for a dog with Heart failure : Vetmedin, Furosemide, and Benazapril. His cough got horribly worse on the Vetmedin and Benazapril --which I read on the internet is a side effect of these two drugs. Further, and more importantly, If you read further down on these posts, someone mentioned all of the vitamins that these two drugs leach from the dog's body--vitamins that further drain their body from necessary nutrition for their heart health. It's no wonder that many of these dogs on these mainstream drugs get further lethargic as these drugs are literally draining the life out of them. This site is educating us on the right protocols that will bring life to our pets, and I am very thankful for the information. We all need truth. Vets do their best with the protocols given them, but many of us here have learned that many natural methods have the ability to bring healing without the harmful side effects of the mainstream drugs .

Activated Charcoal For Horse Wounds

Pam E. (SW California) on 11/06/2024
5 out of 5 stars

In the last few years I've become acquainted with the use of ACTIVATED CHARCOAL used for either-or-both internal & external applications ... for toxins, infections, & wounds. My family takes it, & our pets, but we have no horses ... so ... I'm here to share two amazing experiences shared online, with pics:

This horse's wound displayed all signs of having been due to the BITE of a BROWN RECLUSE SPIDER: https://charcoalremedies.com/brown-recluse-spider-bites/

This horse was HIT by a TRUCK, & the local vet refused to come for an animal that they assumed would die anyway ... but ... with long-term treatment with A.C. poultices, he healed up without stitches & went back to carrying children in the orphanage where they live: https://charcoalremedies.com/horse-wounds/

Both horses required many A.C. poultice applications over a period of time ... and, both healed fine!

I feel for you. When I have adopted my female cat she had intermitted limping on her back leg and inflamed paw after she was vaccinated with rabies vaccine. It took me months of alternative holistic remedies to get her in shape. I never gave her any rabies vaccine anymore and she is healthy now.
