Today, he will be talking about the holistic serendipity he has experienced in
his animal practice.
Holistic Serendipity
Let me first get a definition of what you mean by holistic serendipity for
our listeners.
Sure, Joy. What I mean by holistic serendipity is realizing unintended
results from holistic options. For instance, a customer might buy BioPreparation
from us to nutritionally help with the fatty tumors and suddenly realize their
pet’s skin and coat are better too.
So, Russell, you have been living a holistic lifestyle for over 55 years
now. Can you tell us about some holistic serendipity experiences?
Sure, let me elaborate on this first example. Many pet guardians purchase
BioPreparation from us for a specific disease or symptom. But then they contact
me after a month of starting BioPreparation telling me how soft and shiny their
pet’s coat is. They are surprised because they are not giving their pet salmon,
flaxseed or other oils. One guardian even said their veterinarian, vet tech,
friends and even strangers remark how soft and shiny his 17 years old cat’s coat
was and they simply could not believe this cat was 17 AND has chronic renal
failure. Kidney disease is notorious for making a cat’s coat dull and brittle.
I simply tell them BioPreparation has Omega 3, 6, 9 and gamma linoleic acid
(similar to mother’s milk) that’s naturally in the algae so this is the primary
source of all the Omega oils in fish. Extracted salmon, sardine and cod liver
oils are secondary processed sources.
How about another example?
One customer started their dog on BioPreparation because he was getting old
and didn’t jump on the sofa or bed as often. The dog did seem more agile after
taking BioPreparation but the change the customer saw and loved the most was the
dog’s reaction to thunderstorms. It used to take hours before the dog would stop
panting, shaking and sticking to the guardian like glue. Now, within about half
an hour after the storm the dog is relaxed and is back to normal.
You see, BioPreparation has the nutritional ability to boost up and balance all
the glands and organs. So, when the glands and hormonal production is balanced
so are the emotions.
So, if BioPreparation can help calm emotions would it help a dog exhibiting
fear or aggressive behavior?
Yes, absolutely. One of our customers had a dog that had vaccinosis and was
always leery of strangers and aggressive towards other dogs. She gave the dog
BioPreparation and after six months she happily reported her dog had calmed down
so much, that instead of growling and barking at people when she stopped to talk
on their walks, the dog very calmly stands there and waits until they continue.
Do you have any serious serendipity examples?
A customer had a white, 6 year old, standard poodle that had
Thrombocytopenia, which is a blood platelet disorder. When the platelet count
goes too far down, they literally can’t stop the bleeding. The veterinarians
don’t have any answers except to give Prednisone, so the dog’s been on
Prednisone for over 5 years. One day the poodle was unable to eat or drink. She
would just lay still, not raise her head, and her eyes had that cloudy, listless
look. The guardians were seriously thinking of putting her out of her misery.
Within an hour of giving the poodle her first capsule of BioPreparation she
started drinking a little. By the second capsule, a few hours later, she was
moving around and ate a small meal. They gave her a third capsule before bed and
by the next morning, their old dog was back to normal again.
That’s simply amazing. So, the vet doesn’t know what caused the blood
platelet disorder nor do they have any solution for this disease but
BioPreparation literally brought the poodle back to life!
Yes, Joy that’s right. Here is another serendipitous example. Recently, a vet
told me a cat hadn’t eaten in four days and was dying. Blood and lab tests could
not find anything abnormal. Further examination couldn’t find anything
physically wrong with the cat. So, I suggested to the vet they mix some algae
powder in water and squirt it into the cat orally. Within hours the cat started
to eat a little. By the end of the day the cat ate a whole plate of food. To
this day, the vet does not have a diagnosis of what was wrong with the cat nor
can he explain why BioPreparation got the cat to eat again. But both the
guardian and vet are very happy since the cat is alive. I would call that more
than just serendipity.
Do you have any guess as to how BioPreparation can do all this?
Yes. Animals naturally get algae in the wild whenever they drink from a
natural body of water such as a pond or stream. The animal’s DNA and digestive
system instinctively knows what to do with it. BioPreparation is a blend of two
algae and two Spirulinas and nothing else. The super nutrients and energy in
BioPreparation go right into the bloodstream after eating. My guess is that by
supplying the nutrients in a native form to the animal, one is giving needed
fuel to the body and allowing the animal’s body to perform like it normally
should and literally waking up the animal’s own natural ability to heal.
You’ve shown how BioPreparation can save an animal’s life but what can it do
for an animal with a terminal illness?
Just about every animal guardian, whose pet has been on BioPreparation and
passed away, has told us the same story. They thought their pet was in less
pain, had minimal suffering and when it was time for the end of their life it
seems the animal’s body just shut down naturally—system by system. They report
it all happened very quickly, within 24-48 hours. The animal stopped eating,
then stopped drinking, then soaked up all the TLC you gave it as it looked
lovingly back at you to thank you for all you’ve done and then prepared itself
for its afterlife. Some animals even pass over to the Rainbow Bridge in their
sleep like the natural death wild animals experience. BioPreparation is
certainly not a “cure” but this gift we give them at the end of their life is
equal to the unconditional love they gave us during their lifetime. The end of
life cycle is just another natural process facilitated by this amazing whole
food product, BioPreparation. This could be one of the wonderful unadvertised
“side-effects” of BioPreparation.
So, I see holistic options are more conducive to serendipitous events than
allopathic methods?
Yes, that’s right Joy. You see holistic options don’t just target the
symptoms the way allopathic methods do. When one balances all the glands and
organs and boosts up the entire endocrine and immune systems, all symptoms are
likely to be helped not just the ones that are targeted.
You seem to have wealth of holistic information. How can we access your 55+
years of holistic wisdom?
One way is to go to our website, www.OptimumChoices.com and sign up for our
free monthly e-newsletters. June’s article was how cheaper commercial pet foods
causes obesity and many other costly health problems such as arthritis. Past
subjects we’ve written about include, Is glucosamine the answer for arthritis?
and Healthy water for you and your pets.
We have a special off right now: Anyone signing up for our e-newsletter will get
a free report entitled, What Pet Food Companies Don’t Want You to Know. Of
course, this information doesn’t apply to any of your advertisers on your show
but mainly the cheaper brands of pet food. For instance, we reveal how meat
by-products can include indigestible materials such as beaks, feet, feathers and
hair. And how the commercial pet food industry was, in part, developed to use up
the wastes of the human food industry and use foods unfit for human consumption
and turn it into pet food and a tidy profit.
Wow, what other holistic knowledge can your offer my listeners?
Another way to access our holistic wisdom is to download our new series of
Holistic Choices e-Books. We recently decided to publish each chapter of our
Natural Pet Care book separately as an e-Book. In that way, the reader can take
advantage of the latest holistic research we find and absorb the information in
a smaller chunk. In our Optimum nutrition for dogs and cats e-Book we disclose:
What’s safe after the pet food recall
How to decipher pet food labels
What are some toxic food ingredients (Many people don’t know that
grapes, onions and Xylitol, a sweetener, can be toxic to pets.)
Sounds like I need to get a copy of your Optimum nutrition for dogs and cats
e-Book. How can I and my listeners get a copy?
Go to our website www.OptimumChoices.com and click on the picture of our
Holistic Choices e-book on our home page. As a special offer, if any one of your
listeners will call our toll-free number, 866-305-2306, to purchase two bottles
of BioPreparation or BioSuperfood, I will give them one e-Book of their choice
free. Just have them say, “Joy Turner sent me” AND ask for the free e-Book title
of their choice. If they order online, type these two phrases into the Special
Instructions box in our shopping cart.
