Dr. Stephen Tobin was my dog's veterinarian. He was a fantastic veterinarian and I can vouch that he most likely saved my dog's life and has kept him healthy with holistic remedies. Sadly he passed away in November 2021. I had just taken my dog to him 2 months before he died. He would tell me that the Lyme vaccine was only 32% effective. I really miss him. My dog is a 13 year old Golden Retriever. I have not been able to find another holistic vet, but fortunately I have much of the knowledge and remedies to keep my dog healthy.

Sorry! I could have sworn your post said MSM instead of MMS!

With regard to MMS having no effect, I would take that to mean that you're dealing with a toxin rather than microbes.

Not sure why you're giving MMS but here's the deal I'd use for anything unknown:

What you'll need:

1 very clean spray bottle

paper towels

distilled water

black walnut hull powder

activated charcoal powder

And here's the magical part - get some disposable male dog belly wraps. (coolest thing since sliced bread!! )

You're going to alternate between the walnut hull powder and the charcoal powder.

Starting with the charcoal powder, cut a small hole in the outer gauze layer of a wrap at one end and add about a teaspoon of charcoal powder and tape it shut with a waterproof bandaid. take it outside, hold it out flat with the gauze side down and shake it a bit to distribute the charcoal the length of the pad. turn it over and spray some water on it to wet and hold the charcoal in place. Not dripping but just dampened the whole length. Wrap it around his belly, right in the middle, and fasten. Leave on overnight of all day, whichever works best.

The next day, cut open one end of of the gauze side of a new band and take OUT the stuffing out.

Fold a paper towel to size, mist well with the water and dust it with black walnut powder, put THAT inside in place of the absorbent stuffing, mist it again through the gauze and wrap THAT around his belly for a day - you want to check it a few times and if it's dry, mist it with water. If the black walnut powder is gone at any point you check it, make up another paper towel the same way, insert and put it back on. If it's just dry, then mist it again through the gauze and put it back on.

Alternate days for a week. So, that would be charcoal on Saturday, black walnut on Sunday, charcoal on Monday and so on, ending with charcoal on Friday.

Assuming it's not some sort of toxin in his food or the surrounding environment - like in an imported dog bed made of toxic material - or he's not rolling around in some sort of toxin everyday, you should see improvement. Possibly even after the first round with the black walnut powder. But keep it going for the whole week.

If the issue comes back, repeat the process with a 2 rounds of charcoal to 1 round of black walnut sequence but do it for 2 weeks instead of one

Personally, I would reserve belly rubs for after a charcoal application and before the black walnut application.

In my opinion, the body is throwing off whatever it is through the skin because the liver is overloaded so, if the skin issues don't start clearing up in the first couple of rounds, try doing 2 days of charcoal to 1 day of black walnut until it does and look for possible toxins he might be getting into.

While you're doing this, keep in mind that when you eliminate toxins, they're gone. BUT, when you're eliminating microbes, once everything is cleared up there could still be a small population that will repopulate and you'll have to start over, but it won't take as long because, by then, you'll recognize what's happening and be able to treat it long before it gets as bad as it is now. Either way, your dog will experience huge relief.

MMS Not Helping Dog With Severe Skin Issues

★☆☆☆☆

My dog has been suffering with a bacterial skin infection for a long time. I even think it is a fungal infection. I have taken him to the vet for several years and all they give him is prednizone or other useless medicine. I am tired of seeing him scratch. I feel so sorry and don't know what to do.

Also he has warts growing all over his body. I have been treating him (for about 3 1/2 weeks now) with 10 drops of mms to 1 ounce of distilled water using a spray bottle. I see some improvement but not much. He still scratches a lot and has some under belly redness, swelling, etc. He also has it on his face, paws, and has loss of hair from a while ago above his eyes.

Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong with the MMS that I don't see improvement.

Thank you very much for your help.

There is no reason not to combine them as they produce nothing toxic when mixed. The reaction of baking soda and vinegar produces sodium acetate (an electrolyte), water, and carbon dioxide.

I have a solution to assist the Feral Cat in becoming domesticated. Use raw hamburger balls to notice the cat inside. He will hide, and can take up to 3 weeks or so to to domesticate, term used loosely. You can add Echinacea and golden Seal tincture to his water once daily. 1 tsp daily for ten days, then off for 3 days. Repeat as many times as necessary. Mange is caused usually by a mite which depletes immunity. ACV or DE food grade will clear up the mite infestation, ACV will kill fungal, and bacterial infections.

When I came back from the FL Keys I had what looked like SCC on my bottom lip. My lip was swollen on the left side and I had no pain....not good. I also developed a white plaque, not good either. What I did was put Hydrogen Peroxide on it with a qtip, let it dry, then apply EVCO [Extra Virgin Coconut Oil] and I did this every two hours. I didn't want to go to a Dermatologist b/c I knew what the treatment would be so I figured I would try this first. Within six weeks it disappeared and hasn't returned, whew! Good luck with your furry family member, they are much loved.

Great advice about the animals diet. A whole food diet it is the best thing for any living being, not processed foods like kibble. Blah! (reference: https://www.drcianelli.com/holistic-treatment-for-cancer-in-dogs-cats-a-basic-guide/) I don't have any experience using Sodium Bicarbonate for my pet but I have heard about its use numerous times. I am really interested in what kind of results others have had. It's not expensive and is definitely worth a try in my book.

Will he also eat GRASS or Ground up GREENS/Plants?? Might help, too. Meanwhile, glad to hear the progress so far.

Would second the recommendation for George's Aloe Vera. I've been using it for over 20 years for myself and have started adding it to my dog's food to help her with age related kidney problems.

Fish does NOT supply any Taurine, so please be sure to supplement it in his diet if necessary!

Very well said! I've been using colloidal silver for @20 years I've never had any probs. I work in home health care and have healed bed sores MRSA infected sores cold sores (also one client whom had the similar in her 'down below:). Anytime my 'down below' gets it's PH off balance (yeasty) I squirt CS gel up there n it goes away. I've also kept my sinuses from getting infected for well over 10 years now n I used to have sinus infections at least once a month since childhood. Just about ANYTHING can be toxic or complicated when used wrong or in large quantities. Oxygen water salt are all needed to survive yet can be lethal when too much is taken in too quickly. Hospitals now have CS in many items ie connections that are used w intravenous equipment/supplies n wound care supplies. Of course they will steer us to believe natural remedies are toxic because yes in high doses they could be...but again so can oxygen yet are we going to stop breathing!?! I had a paraplegic client w MRSA that went into his blood who would have to go to hospital daily for IV antibiotics eventually die from those antibiotics complicating his health due to the amount he'd been given for so long. Since then I've learned much about CS in this area n have kept a few other clients along w a couple friends from even having to go back esp going back a second time to do those IV antibiotics. Its been over a year for one and many years for the others. Herbal/natural remedies are SAFE remedies when done correctly. Use your intuition n research your thoughts becuz there's no money to be made w us treating ourselves naturally therefore scare tactics will always be a weapon of choice for big pharma...be your own weapon n fight back. Life's too beautiful to be programmed n herded. Live laugh love...but to truly love is to love yourself first n foremost. My experiences in natural remedies have given me the mindset in that the more natural u live the more love you'll have to give.

Food Allergies in Dog - Seeking Natural Remedies to Help

Posted by Rose (Maffra) on 07/24/2024

Hi.

Wondering if you can suggest a remedy for my dog that has food allergies. The only food that does not make him sick is the Hill's Z/D food sensitivities wet and dry food. I have tried a few time taking him off this diet and giving him other dog foods, but after a month or two he gets sick.

Just wondering if there is a remedy so I can feed him normal dog food.

Regards,

Rose

  Re: Can You Catch Mange From A Dog?

Posted by Heidi (Iowa) on 07/22/2024

I absolutely caught mange from my dog that had it who I was caring for. I used Ted's mange remedy on myself for several weeks and it eventually got rid of it. I also bathed one time in a tbs of tea tree oil in the full tub. Thought I was on fire! Those mites are horrible. I ran a low grade fever during this time. Between the mange recipe that I sprayed on everyday and that one bath I got rid of them.
