Golden Paste for Wounds

28 days ago

My dog had a wound on his leg. Looked a little bit like a rattlesnake bite, except it didn't swell up. Maybe it was a dry bite, don't know. The vet looked at it, gave him some antibiotics. Also said that it wouldn't heal if we couldn't keep him from licking it. He went through the antibiotics and it didn't heal. I tried wrapping it, but it was impossible to keep anything on there. I tried honey, which is one of my favorite remedies for wounds. But, of course, he just licked it more. He had this for months. He didn't lick it very much, but apparently enough that it kept it open.

Then I made some golden paste for the other dog, who had lipomas. Because turmeric is healthy, I added it to both their food. I also slathered turmeric on the one dog's wound.

This dog, he has two all time favorite foods: Coconut oil and spaghetti. But regardless of the fact that the golden paste was made with coconut oil, he apparently didn't much care for the taste. So I think it helped him stop licking it. (I took it too. It's not that horrible of a taste.)

So, whether it was on or all of these:

1. Eating the golden paste in his dog food

2. The healing powers of the golden paste on his leg

3. The unwelcome taste of the golden paste that made him stop licking

His leg healed like it had not done for about 6 months.

This is the recipe I use. I just used cheap dollar store turmeric spice. I'm sure other turmeric is better, but it seemed to work even with the cheap stuff:

1 cup water
1/2 cup turmeric powder
1/3 cup coconut oil
3 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

Thank you for that info. I (probably like many others) still search for answers for my pets on earth clinic. Some older threads still hold some valuable information/suggestions, and I sure welcome any new ones! Thank you again for your helpful post.

My dog has a ear Hematoma. I contacted 2 online holistic vets Dr. Jones in Canada and Dr. Basko in Hawaii for advice. One recommended to me to apply homeopathic arnica cream or gel. The other recommended to apply Traumeel ointment or Traumacare cream same ingredients less costly on amazon.com. I bought the Traumacare cream and in 2 weeks the swelling went down. It is almost healed.

  Re: Coconut Oil Seems to be Helping Dog With Seizures

GOOD JOB having noticed the improvement in your dog's health when having eaten Coconut oil !!!

A ketogenic diet has been used for many years by health-wise people, to treat their own epilepsy.... And it is very safe to use with our pets .... SO why not use it for our pets that have seizures ...?

"Coconut oil has gained the reputation of being a rather useful addition to everyone's diet. It has various uses .... Coconut oil is also recommended to those who are following the keto diet since it contains more MCTs that can help boost the amount of ketone production and aid in weight loss...."

Phyllis, my dog was having mild seizures, and I came across a video of a holistic vet who recommended melatonin.

1 mg for every 10 lbs weight 1 time a day.

As melatonin promotes sleep I give it to my dog at night before bed.

NOTE: I found the video recommended dosage made my dog sleepy all day so I reduced it by half.

His seizures went from daily to rare.

I just wanted to chime in and say that it is much cheaper to 1/4 the recipe for Mange baths. Here in Cancun there are not many bathtubs around (I don't know of any), so I cut the recipe way down to quarter the amounts and gave the mange cure by sponge bath - and it worked like a charm! Best of luck.

Integrative Vet, Karen Becker recommends from 1/4 to 1/2 tsp daily for cats, & mine LOVE it, so I give it to them every day! It's a wonderful preventive for hairballs, & constipation too! But as the article above points out, those are only a few of its benefits! (:

Beef Allergy in Dogs

Posted by Rocky (Napa, Ca) on 10/24/2024

Most dogs that have been on kibble most of their lives develop a beef or chicken allergy. Usually beef. It's the high calcium content and low Omega 3 of beef and chicken that causes the yeast infection. I had my dog on duck most of his life and changed his food to freeze dried because he had some teeth removed in his old age and I switched him to beef and could not figure out why his skin was turning white and thick and scaley, tried expensive medicated shampoos because thought maybe it was mange because he had been around so many other dogs recently. Was talking to a pet food employee and she said most dogs that have been on kibble most of their lives can't switch to beef or chicken and have an allergic reaction almost immediately when they do and that it's quite common to turn into a yeast infection, primarily with beef but often with chicken too. I switched him back to duck and have been feeding him yogurt with acidophilus mixed in it and washing him with a generic dandruff shampoo and he's finally getting better, thank you God! I also started giving him a squirt of Omega 3 fish oil in his food for his skin.

DE worked wonders on my cat's penny sized open wound. First I packed DE into the wound, but it fell right back off. So I tried mixing it into a paste with honey and a bit of cayenne and that made it stay. That hardened right up until the next day. It must've lasted as its own type of bandage for a day and a half, and when it came off, the wound was less than half it's original size. So I packed some more and honey into it the following evening and today you can't see a wound at all. Only the fur covering it over. I'm grateful for this very helpful and timely remedy.

Allergy Medicine Helps Dog With Pyoderma

Pyoderma cure for suffering dogs

My dog had pyoderma, and when I took her to the vet, I was told to bring her in once a month for an allergy shot. Since I am not fond of shots for myself or my dog I decided to look on amazon for allergy medicine and read all the ingredient lists. I found one I thought would help and purchased it. Her sores cleared up in about a month and never came back. Recently I decided to try a different brand that had more ingredients, and they came back almost immediately. The brand is Finn allergy and itch. I know I am not supposed to say brand but this is so hard to clear up to help other poor dogs. Finn has the exact right ingredients. It worked like a miiracle for my dog. I give it to her daily. I love this site, and visit almost every day.

Hi, thanks so much for your review. If possible, how much exactly did u use? Did u put your pup in the bath or sponge bathe? Sorry, I'm asking so many questions. I'm just at wits and basically he has really bad allergies and I've taken him to a dermatologist and paid $2000 so this is like the last thing we're gonna try and then if this doesn't work, we're gonna look for something else I appreciate your time and thank you for the wonderful review you left. It gives me hope.

I forgot to give the dosage I used: 10% DMSO/90% Distilled water. Many reviews are positive at 40% DMSO solution eyedrops, even 20% DMSO gets great reviews, but rescue #4 is very small so I felt more comfortable with a 10% solution.

I know this post is really old, but I had to jump in when I saw that your dog had a blue-misty eye; mine did too. This was the day after we started beating an inner ear infection back (using dmso, but that saga will be in another post). It was only in his right eye and appeared overnight.

Mildly alarmed at seeing his big brown eye turn misty-blue so quickly, I made a dmso/distilled water solution immediately and applied it 2x/day with an eye dropper. Even with him closing his eyes when the dropper is near, the space between the lids is enough. Within 2 days his eye is its beautiful original brown again! I will continue to treat him for another few days though. Another miracle by my trusty DMSO.

Fasting, Lemon Balm Tincture for Cat With Distemper

Cat distemper treatment

I cured my kitten during a serious bout with distemper by fasting her and giving her drops of lemon balm tincture every couple of hours. I also got three bags of saline from the vet to avoid dehydration.

Juliette de Bairacli Levy recommends fasting for distemper in both puppies and kittens. The vet talked me into forcing her to take some vitamin paste, and she got much worse. Then I fasted her with the herbal drops and she was mostly recovered in a couple of days.

You really need to do your homework on Ivermectin. You are completely mistaken about it efficacy to treat Covid and a multitude of Cancers. The Covid vaccination has proved to be deadly and the side effects horrendous. My brother was completely cured of Bladder Cancer from the use of Ivermectin. He struggled for 5 years with Cancer. In 6 weeks of taking Ivermectin he was cancer free and remains cancer by taking Ivermectin. PS my Brother is a Medical Doctor.

Colloidal Silver for Cat Distemper

2 months ago
Posted by Abby (Bismarck USA) on 10/02/2024

We have been using 100 ppm colloidal copper to take out distemper for our cats. For teen-ager cats 3 drops twice daily for a couple months got rid of it. They have grown up and had another generation of kittens. (We found that if given to a very young kitten it did not help; their body didn't seem to be able to handle the copper.) This time, a kitten is not getting rid of the mucus. He has good appetite but is limited in activity by the poor breathing. We have tried drops of people over-the-counter liquids for mucus but the taste makes it impossible to give. Any ideas on mucus busting for a cat?

I should clarify: the piece I have taken was about 1/2 inch by 1/2 inch. I chewed it up, swallowed the juice, and spat out the pulp. The purgation came in about 2 hours and lasted 2 hours. Felt great in the morning. :-)
