[nagdu] Allergies: was Zylkene?

[Raven Tolliver]

The natural remedy is eliminating all processed, packaged, refined,
and preformulated foods, and also cutting out corn, wheat, and soy.
Eating a diet of whole, fresh food will remove many possible or
potential allergins, and heal the immune system to inhibit the
allergic response. Both my dog and I used to suffer from mild
allergies, and when I switched both our diets so that we eat nothing
preformulated or processed, we had no more allergies or health
problems. I understand everyone is different. Some people may still
experience allergies after switching to a diet of fresh food, but I
believe that changing the diet is the first step. Many conditions can
be healed with proper nutrition. But we have been taught that whatever
problems we have, there is medication that will fix it. Rather than
relying on medication, we should focus on food that is medicinal and
nutritious, instead of consuming a diet high in food that is
over-processed with addictive flavors. Our bodies, given the right
nutrients, can defend itself against disease, infection, and
inflammatory conditions.
A good rule of thumb for both human and pet diets is this: if the food
you buy contains more than one ingredient on the package, nine times
out of ten, that food is not an immune-boosting, nutritious, healthy
food. Eating food in its whole form is the best source of nutrients
that will support our bodies, and strengthen our immune systems. The
healthiest food for our dogs is unenhanced raw meat, bones, organs,
and nutritional herbs or sea vegetables, such as algae, dulse, and
kelp. I have helped a great number of people switch their puppies and
adult dogs to a raw diet, and everyone under my guidance has noticed
the improvements in their dogs condition.
Dogs are canines; canines are carnivores; dogs are carnivores; and
therefore, the healthiest diet for a dog is the healthiest diet for a
carnivore.
If you feel that going raw is not for you, I highly encourage you to
ditch kibble and switch to freeze-dried. Freeze-dried dog food has
several advantages over kibble.
Kibble is cooked around 400DG Fahrenheit, which creates carcinogens,
causes toxic molds, and depletes food of nutrients. Freeze-dried food
is cooked under 200DG Fahrenheit, which preserves more nutrient. Also,
you can find freeze-dried foods with fewer synthetic nutrients. The
more synthetic nutrients there is in any food, the worse it is.
There is currently a video over at
www.dogsnaturallymagazine.com
that explains all about how synthetic nutrients come from nonfood
sources, are processed by the body as foreign substances, and are
toxic to the body. I highly encourage everyone to watch. It definitely
blew my mind.
Most conventional veterinarians will not admit that dogs are
carnivores and do best on a raw diet, or at least a diet free of
fillers, synthetics, wheat, soy, corn, and starches. They will tell
you just about any cooked or processed food is good, especially if it
is one of the prescription diets they sell. They will throw pills and
medicine at any health problem that comes through their door, rather
than suggesting a whole food diet to heal your dog's body. Whatever
they can do to keep you coming back and funding their practice. A true
veterinarian would guide their clients
toward healing. Only resort to testing after the whole health approach
has not worked. Blow money on testing if you have your dog on a whole
food diet, and you no longer put toxins into the animal's body via
pesticides, medications, injections, conventional household products,
toxic soaps, wipes, and washes. Take your dog's health into your own
hands rather than trusting the vets. Vets are not required to learn
anything about canine nutrition, and their education and practices are
funded by dog food companies. The bottom line is not health, but
sickness. After all, there is no money in healthy people and pets.
