“Despite the massive growth in genetic therapies, pharmaceutical and surgical technologies chronic disease is crippling mankind. […] The true solutions for cancer and many other degenerative disease processes lie in the nutritional and metabolic functions of the body […] Studies have shown that sugar is the fuel source for cancer and creates an environment of chronic inflammation that leads to other degenerative disease processes” – Dr. David Jockers

ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT HERBS TO EVER ADD TO YOUR PET’S DIET!

In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers looked for the presence of toxic chemicals in umbilical cord blood of newborn babies. Of the more than 400 chemicals tested for, 287 were detected in umbilical cord blood.

IS YOUR PET: ITCHING, SCRATCHING OR WHEEZING AS THE WEATHER WARMS UP? SMASH SEASONAL ALLERGIES WITH THIS POWERFUL FLAVONOID!

An allergy is an abnormal response of the immune system. The body reacts to a usually harmless substance in the environment called an “allergen”. Allergens can be problematic when inhaled, ingested, or when it comes into contact with a dog’s skin.

As your dog’s body tries to get rid of the allergen, a variety of skin, digestive, and respiratory issues may surface. These include (but aren’t limited to) paw licking/chewing, ear infections, watery eyes, itchy skin, and a lot of scratching.

SO JUST HOW LONG DOES A BAG OF KIBBLE LAST ONCE IT’S OPENED?

In physical appearance, maybe 100 million years. But what about nutrition-wise?

ANSWER: 2 WEEKS, TOPS.

CAN KIBBLE BRUSH OR CLEAN YOUR PET’S TEETH FOR REAL?

For decades there has been an urban legend swirling around that feeding our pets processed kibble foods will brush their teeth and by cutting out the kibble it will rack up the dental bills!

You will hear pet owners say things like:

ARE YOU ADDING A SOURCE OF OMEGA-3 TO YOUR PET’S DIET? HERE’S WHY BRINGING COCONUT OIL INTO THE MIX IS A ROCKSTAR IDEA!

Omega-3s are a super important addition to any pet’s diet! Omega-3 fatty acids control cellular metabolic functions that help reduce inflammation in the body. They are essential fatty acids that your dog’s body cannot readily produce, so they must come from dietary sources.

Therefore, if you do not have a proper balance or enough omega-3s in the diet, you may start seeing some of the following symptoms develop in your pet: a dry coat, dry/flaky/itchy skin, brittle nails, joint pain and even fatigue.

"Ants might possiblly have the most diverse diet in all of the animal kingdom. Ants will literally eat almost anything.

Ants are omnivours, and can eat just about anything a person can eat. This includes all of the four food groups and just about anything else in your kitchen that is left out! That means fruits, vegetables, meats, dairy, sugars, oils, herbs, nuts, juice, etc. are all on the menu for ants." -theincredibleant.com

“5 IMPORTANT ADDS” THAT WILL HELP STRENGTHEN YOUR PET’S IMMUNE SYSTEM!

Let me throw out some scary yet very true facts.

ADD THIS CANCER FIGHTING VEG TO YOUR PET'S DIET!

"Certain compounds in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli cauliflower, brussels sprouts, cabbage, bok choy and "kale" have demonstrated the ability to stop the growth of cancer cells for tumors.

One study found that when dogs with cancerous tumors were fed kale, their tumors were smaller and grew more slowly than those in dogs not fed kale.”

HOW TO MAKE TURMERIC 2000% STRONGER WITH A HOMEMADE PASTE TO HELP SMASH CANCER & ARTHRITIS!

It is estimated that 5% of cancer is genetic and 95% is a result of lifestyle and environmental factors. Over 6 million (and growing) dogs die from cancer each year! More than 1 in 2 dogs and 1 in 3 cats are diagnosed with cancer.

A new turmeric study reveals that one of the world's most extensively researched herbs has the ability to selectively target and destroy cancer stem cells, while having little to no toxicity on normal stem cells. 

THE GRAIN-FREE GIMMICK: IS BUYING A “GRAIN-FREE” PET FOOD REALLY A BETTER VALUE FOR YOUR BUCK? 

“ ‘Grain Free’ is a descriptor for pet food intended to mean no corn, soy, wheat, barley or oats. This is the epitome of false security and I don’t know who to criticize more loudly, the consumer that buys it or the marketer who pushes it. “ - Dr. Richard Patton, PhD 

With an obesity epidemic on our hands (60% of pets), along with the skyrocketing statistics surrounding diabetes and cancer, is grain-free pet food really the answer?

WHAT IS THE BEST DIET IN THE WORLD FOR MY DOG?

The simple answer to that, and the one expression that comes to mind, is the word used in the human world: bio-individuality. This basically means that there’s no one right diet that works for everyone all of the time. Rather, there are many factors that influence which foods will and won't nourish each of our pets uniquely.

Ever wonder what the oldest living dogs in the world ate?

你有在餵寵物Omega 3，但你有在餵椰子油嗎？如果你沒有，你或許該重新思考這樣的餵食模式了，因為研究顯示，添加中鏈三酸甘油脂於寵物的飲食中，可以幫助寵物身體對於Omega 3的利用率，同時可增加大腦內Omega 3 的濃度 (Taha et al., 2009)。

A picture says a thousand words, however I always try to say a million in mine!

Working on my lecture for the Natural Dog Conference in Birmingham, United Kingdom this morning. Thought I would share this to inspire a new thought process for some who question: "why on earth would you feed food raw?"

A world of nutrient deficiency and chemical laden foods – we overeat and yet we are undernourished.

THE MOST DANGEROUS PET CHEW EVER: RAWHIDE!

How can one of the most popular chew sticks on the planet be so dangerous for your pets, you ask? I mean, most dogs chew on rawhide for hours on end, and not only does it keep them busy, but they seem to last forever.

Well if you understood what it took to make this toxic “raw” leather stick, you would quickly understand what the problem is. 

根據國外的獸醫醫學會調查顯示，約有90%的物在2歲之後會開始有嚴重的口腔疾病，其中50%需要立即的處理。在這些寵物中，有至少96%的寵物是餵食飼料長大！根據這些數據你就會知道，乾糧並無法達到潔牙的效果！
