SLO
(Symmetrical Lupoid Onychodystrophy)

Since we are not vets, the following is our lay interpretation. SLO (Symmetrical Lupoid Onychodystrophy) is another auto-immune disease where the body mistakenly forms antibodies that attack the body itself. It is similar to the body's response with Immune Mediated Hemolytic Anemia (IMHA) or Auto Immune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA). In the case of Symmetrical Lupoid Onychodystrophy, the body forms antibodies against its toe nails and literally rejects them. Prednisone and Prednisolone are the most commonly prescribed drugs and while it does suppress the body's immune system from attacking itself, it does nothing to make the toe nails grow back. We suspect any hormonal changes and/or a malfunctioning master gland in the brain (i.e., pineal, pituitary, hypothalamus) could trigger these auto-immune diseases.

Over the seven years (since 2002) we have been using BioPreparation, many dogs have recovered from SLO, IMHA, AIHA and other auto-immune diseases. Since we are not medically trained, our guess (based on 20+ years of bio-algae concentrates animal research) is that BioPreparation has the ability to awaken the master glands of the brain and stimulate the body's immune system. It does so by feeding super nutrients to the body at the cellular level (microalgae are one cell organisms) rather than trying to 'fix' the problem with drugs or a supplement that needs to be digested and broken down in the digestive tract. We see very quick results after starting BioPreparation. BioPreparation also contains super nutrients (specifically antioxidants Dunaliella and the carotenoid Astaxanthin) that can literally awaken the master glands in the brain (pineal, pituitary and hypothalamus) which control all the other glands and organs of the body. When the master glands have awakened and all the other glands and organs are holistically balanced, then the body can naturally function normally  again. BioPreparation heals the body from within rather than attacking or fixing the disease from without.

Here is a testimony for a dog that has not lost one nail since starting BioPreparation after previously losing 7 toe nails.

But now, he is happy, relaxed, energetic, has a great appetite, and has gained weight. I actually have to trim some of his nails now!

My vet isn’t only amazed that Sera’s nails quit falling off, but also at how fast they have grown back!

Cassie is a 7 year old German Shepherd. Vets at Cornell Hospital said she has SLO (symmetrical lupoid onychodystrophy) because 7 of her nails fell off. SLO is thought to be an autoimmune disease that targets the toe nails. The hallmark of autoimmune diseases is that the body mistakenly forms antibodies against part of itself. In the case of symmetrical lupoid onychodystrophy, the body forms antibodies against its toe nails and rejects them.

I believe the BioPreparation is helping. I started giving her BioPreparation about a month before I went to Cornell and she hasn’t lost one nail since then; it’s been about 2 months now. The others were lost quickly; another nail would immediately come loose as soon as she lost the first nail. I believe it is the BioPreparation because I didn’t change anything else. The vets have since sold me some fish oil for her but that gives her diarrhea so I have stopped that. I’m sure the BioPreparation was the main factor in the slow down/stopping of her nail loss and will continue to give it to both my dogs.
Thank you.

Update (09/2008): Her new nails that have grown back look great. In fact, the vet was always amazed when she saw her nails.

Sera, my other German Shepherd, was getting the same as Cassie—one BioPreparation capsule a day. That amount seems to stop the nail problem and her nails are also grown back healthy. My vet is really amazed when she looks at them, but the funny thing is that she recommended the antibiotics and Prednisone with Sera even though she saw how it had helped Cassie. So, I said no, I’d give her the BioPreparation, and it worked for her too.

My vet isn’t only amazed that Sera’s nails quit falling off, but also at how fast they have grown back! She had surgery to remove one nail that was loose and wouldn’t come off (and there was infection underneath even with a month of antibiotics), and the whole nail grew back SO fast!! She seems to be a very healthy girl!
Thank you again!

I think I am on the third order of the BioPreparation for my greyhound with SLO. I have to tell you this has changed his life! He just turned 3 years old and spent most of those years being sick, lethargic, in pain and anorexic. But now, he is happy, relaxed, energetic, has a great appetite, and has gained weight. I actually have to trim some of his nails now!

Farley waits by his food bowl now rather than having to be coaxed to eat, and he wags his tail like a puppy for a treat and bounds off with joy to eat. I am so happy to see him able to enjoy his life. Thanks!

(Editors Note: Notice that when all the glands and organs of the body are balanced and the whole body is experiencing wellness (not just the absence of SLO symptoms), the energy level, appetite and overall health of the pet improves. BioPreparation is NOT a supplement that treats symptoms but a holistic whole food product that wakes up the animal's natural ability to heal)

Timex (greyhound) lost all but two toenails, but now that they are gone, he is not in any pain and seems to feel fine. The two remaining nails do not seem to be falling off so I am thinking we are at a plateau of sorts. He has been on BioPreparation-F3+ but since everything seems to have stabilized, I am switching to the maintenance formula, BioPreparation-F2+ to see how that goes. Timex will be 8 and Teddi will be 13. Teddi acts like a young dog again. Everyone remarks on how soft and silky their coats are and what pep and zest for life they radiate.

I am going to sign up for auto shipment once I see how the F-2 is working. 

Thanks again for your help and for your interest in my dog.

These results are individual case studies. We cannot guarantee your animal’s results will be the same. Since each animal’s body responds differently to the super nutrition in BioPreparation/BioSuperfood your results will be different. These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This information is not intended to diagnose, treat or cure any disease.

How did BioPreparation do all this? It didn’t. BioPreparation simply supplied the body with the super nutrients of Vitamin A, B-complex, C, D, E and K, Omega-3, Omega-6, Omega-9, GLAs (Gamma-Linolenic Acids), ALAs (Alpha-Linolenic Acids), DGLA (Dihomogamma-Linolenic  Acid), DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid) and more fatty acids, over 4,000 enzymes, 20 amino acids, phytonutrients, polysaccharides and thousands of other nutrients so the body could resume producing toe nails normally. BioPreparation did not treat the symptoms but holistically balanced the whole body. When the endocrine and immune systems are holistically balanced, everything will work like it should. BioPreparation is such a revolutionary product (concept) it is 100 years ahead of its time. Now that’s true holistic wellness!
