The pet food recalls continue. The FDA has expanded its investigation of the
elevated levels of Vitamin D in dry dog foods, which can be toxic and cause
serious health problems. Currently, there are eight brands and twelve
different diets that have been recalled. The FDA found an alarming 70 times
the intended amount of vitamin D. To learn more about this recall, please
read Life's Abundance
blog post. None of our
Life's Abundance pet food is affected by this recall.
The best "wholistic" suggestion to prevent
danger to your pet is -- STOP feeding dry kibble dog food. In our
"wholistic" opinion, dry kibble dog food is the least nutritious form of
food to feed a carnivore. Furthermore, a majority of all pet food recalls is
with dry food. Canned food, freeze-dried food and raw food have a much lower
percentage of recalls. For the latest recalls, go to:
Dog Food Recalls or
FDA website

While drugs may be necessary in the
acute stages of a serious health challenge, especially to
 save
a life, their side effects can be problematic and counterproductive in
balancing the body long-term. For example, if the immune system is
suppressed with medication, a side effect of a weakened body is that it becomes more
susceptible to infections from
bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites.
As the body recovers and the brain tries to normalize the entire immune
system, an immune suppressing drug may hinder this overall natural process.
It is like driving a car with one foot on the accelerator (superfood
nutrition) and one foot on the brake (drug). Your car will not go very
fast and you will wear out the brakes and engine sooner.
Auto-Immune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA)
and
Immune Mediated Hemolytic Anemia
(IMHA) are such devastating conditions
that the
Morris Animal Foundation estimates:
- 50% of dogs die within two weeks of
diagnosis
- The mortality rate is up to 80%
Drugs are certainly necessary in the acute
stages of AIHA/IMHA to save the pet's life. As the body starts to
recover, the brain tries to normalize the production of new red (anemia) and white blood cells (leukemia), along with
platelets (thrombocytopenia
or with IMHA-Evans Syndrome),
to become healthy and balanced again. But this natural process can be inhibited if the immune system is still artificially
suppressed from drugs. How does one strike a holistic balance? Here is
what one client did.

Mom & sick
Diesel home from hospital |
On July 29th,
2018, my Chiweenie, Diesel (6 yrs., 8 lbs.), started acting weird: not
playing, only wanting to lay down and lethargic. Also he didn't eat
breakfast but ate some chicken and rice for dinner. I observed him for a
day, thinking he just may have done too much that day but the next day
he was still acting lethargic. I took him to my vet on July 30th. They
said he was dehydrated and lethargic. They gave him IV fluids and said
to try a certain Royal Canine food and see how he is the next day. I
took him home and I just wasn't feeling right about their diagnosis
because he was still just not acting right. So, a couple hours after
being home with him just not looking right, I decided to check his gums
and they were very white. I immediately took him to the hospital. They
proceeded to do a bunch of testing: blood work, x-rays and ultrasound.
Everything looked good other than elevated liver enzymes and anemia. He
had a PCV (Packed Count Volume of red blood cells) level of 18, so the
only conclusion they came to was that he had AIHA (Autoimmune Hemolytic
Anemia). His own immune system was attacking his red blood cells and his
body couldn't keep up.
The next day his red blood cell level was 10, so they recommended a
blood transfusion. After monitoring him for another day he still wasn't
good. He needed another transfusion. He stayed in the hospital for 6
days until they finally discharged him. They gave me 8 medications to
dispense to him over a 2 hour period twice a day. I did that for the
next 2 months.

Fungal infection
from suppressed immune system |
After about a month he developed skin lesions all over his body. The vet recommended I see a specialist for his condition. The
specialist recommended stopping one of the meds., Atopica, and gave him
a fungal medication. She said he developed an opportunistic
fungal skin
infection. She said it was only the 3rd dog in 10 years that she seen
with this skin infection from the meds. I continued to see the
specialist for the next two months. In the meantime, I started looking
for an alternative treatment.
I went online and Googled his problem and natural treatments for it and
Optimum Choices came up. So, I contacted them to get their advice. They
were very helpful. I ordered the advanced
bio-algae concentrates (BAC)
product,
BioPreparation-f3+. I started giving
 him
BioPreparation-f3+, 3 to 4 times a day along with all his other
medications. He seemed to being doing OK but the side effects from all
the meds. were really concerning me. We kept going back to the
specialist where she did full blood panels. By this time it had been a
couple months and they said blood work revealed that it was possible his
AIHA was not under control. Also liver and sugar levels were high and
that he could develop diabetes. She suggested changing medications but
if I did it was possible the skin infection could come back. I told her
about the bio-algae concentrates (BAC) and she didn't really think it
would do anything. I could give it to him if I want but that he should
stay on meds. At this point, we were about $10,000 in with
hospital/vet bills and medications. It didn't seem like it was going to
get any better or cheaper.
So, we stopped going to the specialist and went back to my regular vet
to only get his PCV checks. Also, I contacted Optimum Choices regarding
going off meds. and upping the BAC. Again they were very informative,
saying that they could not give advice on any medications but in their
clients' experience, at some point during the AIHA/IMHA recovery, the
BAC works better without meds.
So, on November 12th 2018 I made my own decision to wean Diesel off
Prednisone from 2 pills a day to 1 pill in the morning and 1/2 at night.
Vet appointment blood work showed PCV at 35. Then I weaned his
Prednisone down again on Nov. 26 to 1 pill, 1/2 in the morning and 1/2
pill at night. I also gave BioPreparation-f3+, 5-6 times a day. 7 days
later the vet check for PCV level was 42. So, I weaned the Prednisone
down to 3/4 of a pill, 1/2 in the morning and 1/4 at night.
Also,
I changed his diet to raw food and added extra veggies and fruit
throughout the day. 16 days later PCV check was at 44. So, I weaned down
to 1/2 of a pill, 1/4 in the morning and 1/4 at dinner. Still giving
BioPreparation-f3+ at 3 capsules total, splitting up and dispensing 5-6
times a day. 10 days later I weaned him down to 1/4 of a pill, 1/8 in
the morning and 1/8 at dinner. Also I stopped the fungal medication for
skin infections that was acquired from

Just scars on paws

medication. Skin is doing well.
No breakouts or lesions. Just scars left from infection. 7 days later
PCV level is 44. So, I weaned Prednisone down to 1/8 once a day. So far,
Diesel is showing no signs of lethargy or white gums and he is engaging
more in playtime. He is able to jump up on the couch again and generally
seems happier. He's eating and drinking. The transformation was amazing!
On Jan. 21st, 2019, his PCV level check was 46. So, during the next two
weeks I weaned him off Prednisone completely. Next appointment on Feb.
4th, 2019, he had been completely off meds for 4 days, and only taking
BioPreparation-f3+. His PCV level was at 44. It's been almost 4 weeks
now with no meds. and he is like a puppy again: playing, running,
jumping, being so loving, gums are pink and skin looks great! On Mar.
4th, 2019, about 7 months after being diagnosed with AIHA/IMHA and a
month of NO steroids and with BioPreparation-f3+ and a
raw diet, his PCV
levels are holding strong at 46. He is a fun loving
playful little Chiweenie
(click video below). Thank you so much Optimum Choices! Without your help I don't
think he would be here today J

The following "wholistic" principles apply
equally to both people and pets. BioPreparation is a
whole food product, like an
orange, salmon and algae. Whole food products have thousands of
nutrients, all in small food grade quantities. They nourish and balance
ALL the glands and organs of the WHOLE body. They are not like isolated
supplements (such as a Vitamin C
pill or
fish
oil capsule), which have high doses of active ingredients to
force an effect on the body (like drugs). Whole food products cannot
compete with the strong actions of drugs that are needed in the acute
stage of any health challenge. When a body is in the recovery stage, a
decision must be made as to how much medications are still needed,
versus the "wholistic" action of whole food products that nutritionally
support the brain/body in normalizing ALL the glands and organs to
balance the WHOLE body. We leave this choice up to the pet's parent (or
human client) and their vet (doctor).
