Manuka Honey + DE for Pet Infections

My poor puppy looked like she was growing gills on one side of her face. It was a skin infection and was large. It looked as if it was about to eat her face. The area was very sore as she got very defensive of it. To bring it to the surface of the skin I put some Diamotaceous Earth on it, which was very successful. Once I could see where exactly it was, I was able to use my trusted Manuka Honey on it. Within 12 hrs (overnight) the infection was gone and she was healing! She looked so much happier and had no problem with mama putting more honey on the area. Manuka, ya came thru again!! Manuka & D.E. cured her infection and for a total cost of a couple of bucks! I love Earth Clinic! Other people would've had to pay alot for a vet, then the medication, and then wait for days to see the medication doing anything. I think my way was both less expensive and more effective, as well as very quick ta boot!!

Hi Marie. I don't know if you are still on earthclinic but I wanted to ask if I can give my cat vitamin d3 instead of calcitriol? I am in the UK and I can't find calcitriol anywhere.

  Re: Essiac Tea for Dog's Tumor Did Not Help

My dear cat, an eight year old male, who was my baby, was diagnosed in November of oral squamous cell carcinoma. I had known many people who had faced this with their cats and even with the help of many dollars and chemo, etc. the cats all had a horrible death. I was devastated. My cat was never exposed to any toxins, wasn't given vaccines because he was strictly indoors with me, and I had only ever fed him a nutritionally complete raw food diet which he never turned his nose up at. He was the picture of health. I tried using MMS and DMSO every hour 8-10 times a day for three months. It did nothing. I think I was most bitter because so many "testimonials" indicated it usually works. I will say, that for those three months, he seemed like he had a great quality of life except for the fact that the last two months, the tumor around his tongue and down his throat was so large that he could not keep his tongue in his mouth and it was a struggle for him to eat. There was also blood tinged mucous everywhere. But he never had bad breath or many of the horrible symptoms I had been told of. Right up until 12 hours before we euthanized him, he seemed he was pushing himself to be the best he could be and enjoying life as much as he ever did. He suddenly could not breathe and there was so much mucous coming from his mouth. He also didn't want to be near us. From what I have read, living with this condition for three months is a long time. So, maybe the protocol helped him live longer, but it didn't slow the growth of that horrible tumor. I mixed up the MMS and the DMSO separately and applied it to his food each day 8-10 times (small meals) every day. I wish there was a clue as to why this very aggressive cancer is taking the lives of so many cats and dogs!

Lymphoma Remedies Needed for Black Lab (New Pets Page Created)

Posted by Wattsy (England) on 02/13/2024

Hi everyone, our girl Poppy, a black lab, has lymphoma and is currently being treated with a combination of Chinese herbs (four marvels so and Turkey tail mushroom) and predisolone (steroids).She is ok but her back legs are not so strong any more and very wobbly, we are very concerned with her being on steroids for a long period of time and how much the long term side effects are contributing to her condition.If anybody would like to chip in with any information or suggestions, it would be great. We feel we are in an awkward situation, ie, if we bring her off the steroids, the lymphoma could get worse, or if she stays on steroids, how much will that affect her? Any information is much appreciated.Thanks

Please stop vaccinating for rabies at least until you read these articles. We have adopted new laws in MA, and that should sound alarms to other states that have not yet. So long as your dog has had h/h initial first round, a booster at the time of an incident will be enough to reactivate antibodies. Read, read, read; Dr. Will Falconer, DVM, has years of experience solely devoted to educating us about the dangers of the rabies vaccine, among others.

I rescued two polydactyl kittens that ran in front of my Lighting truck on the way to my cancer doctor, at two years old my. male started having problems gipng to the bathroom, one morning I found him under the couch laying in his urine, he was so weak he was literally dying, I pulled him out using a syringe shot Georges Aloe Vera down his throat, put him in a pet carrier and rushing to the vet, begging him to hold on and I was sorry he was so sick. I get to the vets in tears sigh in they put me in a room waiting to see the vet, I hear a meowing look at him sitting up staring at me, the vet put him on a IV, said he had crystals in his kidneys, and would need surgery to survive, . I didn't have thousands for surgery, he was up and eating so I brought him home, that was two years ago, now all my rescues get Georges Aloe Vera water at least twice a week. Aloe vera water is what helped me whn I was battling cancer 3 times, every one in my family drinks it, in laws n out laws!

  Steaming for Feline Herpes

Our nearly 18-yr-old cat (1) has lost several teeth due to resorptive lesions (2) had his thyroid treated with radioactive isotope in late 2016 - which vet told us COULD give him up to 3 more years* (3) without his thyroid developed diabetes so is on 1 unit of insulin daily (4) and developed kidney disease - stage 2 (5) was diagnosed before Thanksgiving 2023 with feline herpes.

ER vet suggested steaming him before we got herpes diagnosis from regular vet. While waiting for the test results, the reg vet put him on an antibiotic. Then prescribed a med that needed to be compounded and given 2x per day. Expensive and very bitter/nasty tasting to the cat. Stressed him out to the max. Stress can make the virus more active. Decided to postpone giving the med to him until after Christmas, but continued steaming him 3x per day.

Rarely sneezes anymore and eye no longer waters. Plus he loves being steamed. He voluntarily goes into his hard-side cat-carrier to put him in the tub with an electric pot boiling near it. With a support over the pot to keep the towel from touching it, we drape a heavy towel over the pot and carrier for 10 min, then unplug the pot and leave him for another 5-10 min.

*It is now Feb 2024. We've enjoyed this "3 years" with him!!!

My cat had mange too. He was always biting and scratching himself had bald spots all over. He was also FIV too. What cured his mange was Turmeric oil. He hated the taste of it and finally left his fur alone. I used to rub it all over his spots. He passed away but had all his fur again. Hope this helps you.

Peace,

Mary Martinez

Please try Organic Turmeric oil. My cat had scabs and pulled most of his hair off. He would constantly scratch and lick his hair. He had bald spots all over his body.

I used Organic Turmeric oil. He hated the taste of it and left his fur alone. Got all his hair back. Good luck

Blessings,

I had 2 large dogs that began continuously licking & biting all their paws, the skin of which looked pink & irritated ... until I eventually decided to switch from a kibble of rice & lamb, to a non-grain kibble. Then the irritated paws became non-irritated once more.

Aloe Vera Inner Fillet Juice

My cat has been diagnosed with kidney disease and refuses to eat the renal diet food. We've been trying kidney drops and remedies with no success. He's been slowly getting worse. We found the reviews about George's Aloe Vera drink and read up about it. Its only the inner fillet so its safe for cats. It tastes of water and doesn't need to be refrigerated. We are in the UK and bought from the biggest online shop. Our cat has a tablespoon twice per day. The difference in a week is amazing. He is eating a lot more and he has starting chirping (squeaking) again which shows he is happy. He is still peeing a lot and drinking more than usual but its only been a week. I am hoping for more improvements as he will be having it every day from now on. I am also taking it since I've read all the amazing benefits! If your cat has kidney issues please try it but remember it must be the inner fillet only. Some aloe vera juice products include the outer bit which is toxic to cats.

Boric Acid Solution for Eye Infections in Kittens

When I was around 11 yo (now 67) 1 of my sis' cat had a 1st litter of 6 kittens. (She was 5 yrs older & not as into animals as me, plus had other interests ... so I spent by far the most time with them.) When they got crusty buildup over their soon-to-open eyes, I mentioned my concerns to an even older sister, who told me she'd learned about Boric Acid ... & that we could get it at the pharmacy. So we wound up purchasing some, I made it up, & began applying it to their eyes (twice a day I guess). I kept applying it until the crustiness totally disappeared.... We kept 2 of those kittens, who both went on to have kittens of their own, & I used the Boric Acid solution on their eyes as well, with the same positive outcome.

 Re: Dog UTI and Loss of Appetite

You may be dealing with a kidney issue. Appetite problems usually accompany kidney disease. Both of my dogs had bouts with it. It gets very tricky as dogs age. How are the teeth? Periodontal disease generally infect the kidneys as well. In fact, periodontal disease is generally the cause of many issues. The vets get scared to give older dogs anesthesia to clean teeth and then the dogs develop it unless there is advanced efforts to keep the teeth clean. Once the vets won't clean the teeth, it starts a decline in health because of the teeth. Most vets won't admit it, but that is very common. I am not trying to scare you, but I have seen this three times with my dogs.

Dog UTI and Loss of Appetite

Posted by Nicole (MN) on 01/13/2024

I have a 14.5 year old border collie/lab mix who was diagnosed with a UTI a couple weeks ago. The vet gave anti-biotics of course, which did not seem to help her. I have been trying natural remedies since then (couch grass tea, D-Mannosse, Marshmallow Root, Horsetail). She is not licking down there as much, but she has absolutely no appetite. She doesn't want to eat anything. Any advice on what I can do to help her start eating? Or even to kick the UTI - because maybe its still present and that's why she's not eating? Thanks!

EC: Please see the posts on this page: https://www.earthclinic.com/pets/bladder-infection-dogs.html. Apple cider vinegar is the most popular remedy for a UTI in dogs. It can be applied topically on the stomach and also paw pads.
