The Supplements That Cheated Death

Our “Bouncing Buddy,” a 14 year old black Lab, says “Don’t believe that dogs can handle spoiled food!’

Some soup in an electric crock-pot lost power and sat for about 2 days.
Thinking that it had been unplugged just the night before, one family member who was unaware of the festering time frame mixed the leftover soup in with the dog’s food as a “treat” for them. There was no way for her to know that it had been sitting at room temperature for more than a few hours. Thinking that dogs were able to “handle” food that is slightly spoiled, she thought nothing of it. If you also believe that myth, please use this article as a re-education tool, for your dog’s sake!

Rocky, our other Lab, simply would not eat the mix, and went the day without food. Unfortunately for Buddy, his trust and hunger overcame his innate senses and knowing, and he ate some of the tainted food.. Within a few hours he became violently ill. This degenerated into complete weakness. Our “Bouncing Buddy” couldn’t even stand, let alone walk out to the yard to vomit.

Fortunately I was available to be in service to Buddy. I found a shallow bowl and gave him fresh water often. I also began giving him small doses of Dynamite “Dyna-Pro” probiotic (to restore his normal stomach biological functions), Dynamite “Trace Minerals” (to stop the growth of the bad bacteria and also stop any internal bleeding that may occur), and Lorand Laboratories “BiAloe” (to super-charge his immune system) diluted in clean water. An oven basting syringe proved useful for “tube-feeding” him the individual liquids. Even though he vomited some of it back out, I knew that whatever residue remained would be extremely beneficial to his healing.

We had almost given up on him by nighttime. He was unable to stand or walk, had a severe fever, and was very unresponsive. My wife and I made a sling from a blanket to take him outside. We held him up, hoping that he would urinate, but that didn’t happen. We would then bring him back into our bedroom to afford him whatever comfort could come from being with us.

He was showing signs that the house was way too warm for him. We lifted him with the sling and moved him out onto a nice, cool grassy area in our front yard, beside the sidewalk. I rolled a recliner out onto the walk beside him, wrapped myself in a few blankets and spent the entire night beside him. He had been a good and loyal friend to me for many years, and I wanted to be there for him as long as he needed me. I spent the entire night awake, occasionally caressing him or speaking encouraging words to him. He was so ill that I expected him to pass at any moment.

Finally at about 6:00 in the morning I dozed off for a few minutes. Then I heard him begin to rustle a bit. I opened my eyes to see him struggling to get up. His front legs were shaky, but working. He was unable to raise up on his hind legs. I joyfully jumped up and helped lift him up onto all fours.

He slowly, shakily, painstakingly walked into the “potty yard” where he urinated for a long time, then sprayed out the most vile, disgusting, horrid-smelling diarrhea that anyone could possibly imagine. He took a few more steps, then went back down to the grass. After a few minutes of rest, I encouraged him to move to a cleaner area by lifting his rear end. We returned to the grass by my chair. This time when he laid down he held his head up, panting. I knew the worst was over, so long as I could continue to get the rescue supplements into him.

His body was still way too weak to navigate the steps up to the dog door. I assembled a bed for him under the patio cover with a pallet, a large piece of foam rubber and a blanket. With my help, he was able to get on it and lay down. Then I constructed a ramp for him from the ground to the dog door, and covered it with a rug to give him traction. Meanwhile, he was very content to be outside on his newly constructed bed, and showed no interest in the ramp.

Periodically throughout the day I repeated the “tube feedings” of Dynamite “Dyna-Pro” probiotic, Dynamite “Trace Minerals” and Lorand Laboratories “BiAloe.” I also encouraged him to drink clean, fresh water about every half hour by bringing a shallow bowl (large Corning ware frying pan, actually) near his mouth. He would invariably drink some, which also resulted in him needing to pee a lot.

Since he was still unable to raise up on his hind legs, I remained with him most of the time for the next few days. I rigged up a closed circuit TV camera so that I could monitor him while I was working in my office. Whenever I would see him stir, I would run out and see how I could help. He always appreciated the assistance with standing to go pee and with getting a drink, but he always resisted the basting syringe filled with supplements. Since he would not take the stuff on his own (the trace minerals are really bad tasting) I continued to force-feed them to him. As I did, he continued to improve hour-by-hour.

One thing Buddy had going for him is that he has been eating the highly-nutritious Dynamite Dog Foods every day for several years. This helped him build up a reserve of essential minerals. Without that critical reserve, he certainly would not have survived. We had made the decision to spend a little more on the Dynamite foods primarily to help them smell better, itch less, be rash-free, be resistant to parasites and have shinier coats. Now we were able to add “survival” to the “reasons to buy Dynamite” column.

Full recovery for Buddy took nearly two weeks. He didn’t eat anything for about a week. During this time I continued to baster-feed him the supplements and pro-biotic. I offered him a small amount of fresh food each morning and night, but he would decline and walk away. No doubt his stomach was still in turmoil, but I suspect that there was a trust issue going on also. Finally he ate about a tablespoon of his food. Then he began eating more and more each feeding.

Now, about a month later, Buddy is back to bouncing for his dinner, then licking his bowl clean. His energy and physical strength are back to normal, and we are again having to limit the amount of food he gets to keep him slender. To see him now you would never guess that he was so close to death just weeks ago. Not too shabby for a big black Lab that is over 100 years old in “human-years!”

In summary, here is what we learned from this experience:

� Feed your dog the best, most nutritious foods you can find to build up their health reserves (Dynamite Dog Foods).

� Never feed dogs any food that you wouldn’t eat yourself, regardless of what you hear about them being able to handle it.

� If your dog acts funny about what you have fed them, go take it away and throw it out.

� Always keep an emergency supply of Dynamite “Dyna-Pro” probiotic, Dynamite “Trace Minerals” and Lorand Laboratories “BiAloe” on hand. Had we not had all three of these, I am certain that we would now have “buried Buddy” instead of our wonderful “Bouncing Buddy,” who we are now even more delighted to be enjoying the company of.

“Water, water, everywhere. Nor any drop to drink …”

The famous line from “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner,” although descriptive of the condition of a sailor trapped by the sea, was also quite prophetic of the current environment that nearly everyone on Earth does their best to live with. Abundant sources of clean, healthy water has become only part of our history. Advanced technology is now required to remove the toxins and diseases that are abundant in more than 99% of the water on Earth, including that which comes from our municipal sources and into our taps.

I am, by default, an expert on water filtration and treatment. Many years ago I was introduced to the problems and some solutions while I was a consultant to a Bennetts Laboratories in Tacoma, Washington. The owner and chief chemist, Eugene Lough, was an expert in water testing and conditioning. He incorporated me into projects to solve serious water problems, especially on the islands of Puget Sound.

Subsequently, based on what I learned from Mr. Lough, I marketed and installed filtration systems for three different manufacturers all around the greater Seattle/Tacoma area, encountering just about every type of contamination. One of the manufacturers boasted that they had systems to go from ditch water to drinking water—and they did, if you could afford it!

That was a lengthy way of qualifying myself to offer you this short suggestion:

“The Earth is a great place to visit, but don’t drink the water until the harmful elements have been removed!”

Recently one of my good nutrition customers asked me where to go to get a good water filtration system. Given my background, I had been asked this many times before, but I hadn’t done the research to find another good manufacturer. I had just been suggesting that they do an Internet search, then pick any that looked good to them.

This time I decided to do the searching for my customer. I found APEC, which promises to be an outstanding company, producing a brilliantly designed 5-stage Reverse Osmosis filtration system plus a holding tank at a very reasonable price. It was even on sale at a considerable savings.

This post is about passing the results of that research on to you. Following is a link to their web site. Hopefully you will also find it to be on sale.

Life Without Vita-Mix? Not A Happy Thought!

We could easily do without our kitchen range, but life without our VITA-MIXER is not imaginable. A few days ago we accidentally left ours overnight at a friends house following a pot-luck dinner party. It was missed constantly until we got it back the next evening.

Why is a Vita-Mix so essential here? It is because we love to eat, and we love to eat healthy, delicious, nutrient-rich food. For example:
1. I use it first thing in the morning to mix a warm cacao beverage. It easily liquefies raw cacao nibs and raw sugar, and will heat the beverage to any desired temperature (although we recommend against overheating).
2. We use it to make fresh green drinks. Unlike a regular blender, the Vita-Mix totally breaks the greens down and effectively extracts the chlorophyll, vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals.
3. Anni (wife/partner/friend/chief cook and bottle washer) also makes the most delicious, nutritious raw dips, sauces, soups, (cold, warm or hot right from the Vita-Mix) dressings, chips, cookies, pies, cakes, etc. that you can imagine.

Actually, you cannot imagine — you have to taste them to know how delicious properly prepared raw foods can be. Then you won’t be imagining, you will be fondly remembering. Raw fresh fruits and vegetables that are processed by a Vita-Mix can compliment ANY food, and can add back nutrients and enzymes that were destroyed by heat when they are served as complements to cooked foods.

One amazing super-food that can only be properly prepared in a Vita-Mix is what I call a “CACAo MACA MILK-less SHAKE.” The recipe varies a bit each day, but is basically 1/2 to 1 cup of dried fruit (raisins and/or dates and/or prunes and/or figs) liquefied with twice as much cold water. Then add 4 to 6 oz. of the greenest greens (spinach, kale, parsley, turnip, collard, beet, or swiss chard) that you have and liquify. Add 2 heaping tablespoons of RAW cacao powder*, 1 heaping tablespoon of powdered maca root, 2 bananas (I freeze them first to make the shake thicker) and 2 cups of ice cubes and blend to a thick chocolate shake.

If you are worried about the chocolate (cacao), DON’T BE! Raw cacao is one of the most nutritious, wholesome and complete natural foods on Earth. We don’t know of anything bad about it. It is only when it is cooked, otherwise processed, and mixed with milk and other icky things that it becomes a problem.

Speaking of problems, not having a Vita-Mix is a big one if you are wanting to be healthy! “Perfect Health: Naturally” has arranged to provide you with a FREE SHIPPING COUPON and the best price available for the latest model Vita-Mixers directly from the Vita-Mix company. Just use the link:
http://www.ph-n.com/tools/vitamix.htm to go to the coupon page with instructions on how to redeem it.

By the way, if the price seems high to you, consider that we have had ours for over 10 years, and have used it several times each day in ways that would have tortured and killed any regular blender. When amortized over that life, plus how ever many years it has left in it, the price becomes much lower than any Wal-mart-sold, made-in-China cheapie which wouldn’t be able to do the job anyway.

Viva Vita-mix!

*(If you use cacao nibs instead of the powder, blend it in the very beginning with the dried fruit.)

It Isn’t an INSURANCE Crisis—it’s an IGNORANCE Crisis

Yesterday I viewed Oprah’s show featuring Michael Moore’s “Sicko.” They reported that health insurance is in crisis, and that people are not insured against serious, expensive procedures. Once again, media is misdirecting our attention away from the real issues. Oprah, I love you, but shame on you for being part of that!

There were several examples presented on the show of people who had this or that problem, and they were unable to get their insurance company to pay for the outrageously expensive and questionably effective medical procedures that accompanied their conditions. One of them died before the show aired … Several people eloquently debated the causes and solutions to the INSURANCE crises …

… not a single word was spoken about the true and basic solution to all of this …

… becoming healthy was completely overlooked.

It has been my experience as a researcher, student and writer of natural health practices and procedures that each of the people who were featured as an example of the insurance crisis was in that situation as a result of their own destructive choices. They had followed the paths that led to their diseases. Through ignorance, and an attitude that they could do anything they wanted and their doctors would then repair the damage they had done to themselves, their lifestyle and eating practices resulted in that which is obvious to the informed — life-diminishing illness.

So, let this be your wake-up call! If you destroy your health, you are screwed! Doctors cannot help you unless you help yourself. At the very most, they can only delay the inevitable. Even if they could, your insurance apparently isn’t going to pay for it anyway.

If you haven’t yet reached the point of no return, YOU can reverse the damage by learning about health, and by making extreme 100% raw foods and juices changes to your LIFEstyle.

If you are ready to take charge of your health, a great place to start learning is at the Perfect Health: Naturally website. It is free to anyone who wishes to become a member. Go to http://ph-n.com to begin your responsible journey to perfect health.

Oprah, why haven’t you been telling us about this, which we can all directly control instead of that which we really cannot do anything about anyway? Even if we had the perfect insurance program, and all health care was 100% funded, people are still going to suffer and die from their ignorance of how to be healthy. Doctors don’t create health, they merely manipulate diseases.

And, speaking of “sicko’s,” if Michael Moore doesn’t begin to learn and practice natural health, he won’t be around long to make more of his excellent documentaries. MICHAEL: Go to http://ph-n.com and begin your responsible journey to perfect health! You look like crap, man!
