Bailey

Welsh Corgi having a chiropratic treatment

Bailey is an Akita chox mix dog that goes to the North Worthington Pet Clinic in Columbus, Ohio and had a busy day planned at the clinic.

She had a chiropractic treatment for her spine, acupuncture for her legs, and a shot of herbals for her knees. A full day of alternative medicine will keep her tail wagging a bit longer.

More pet owners like Adam Eisenberg are using alternative medicine for their pets and the numbers are growing. You may remain skeptical at some natural remedies but they work and without side effects. There is no way that a pharmaceutical drug can re-align your dog’s spine because it just will not work and you will spend a fortune on drugs.

Over 1.2 billion dollars were spent on pet alternative medicine last year for supplements, vitamins, treatments and organic foods and the numbers increase each year. That many people cannot be wrong or they are seeking more natural remedies for their pet’s illness and discomfort with disease and pests.

The philosophy that “ what is good for me, is good for my dog” is held by many pet owners today as human supplements are found to have great benefit in pets. What has been tested on human beings works and now its working for the animal kingdom.

Ronda Saunders had an ill-tempered horse named Granville and called a chiropractor and the next day she rode that horse, walked and trotted with no more bucking from her horse. She spent all of $ 65.00 she had ever spent and has been a believer ever since that experience and now takes her Welsh Corgi to have treatments also.

The dog is more perkier and is jumping after adjustments made the pain go away. Alternative medicine is just not acupuncture or chiropractic treatments it involves treating the whole pet’s mind, body and spirit. You cannot heal a pet with a broken spirit for instance that has been abused. Treating the pet with gentle massage, and some loving care cannot be purchased in a bottle of pills.

Vitamins and herbal supplements are so very beneficial for detoxing your pet and maintaining good health. Next time you pet has a health issue consider visiting your local alternative medicine veterinarian and see the difference yourself.

This story not only warms your heart, but gives you strength to honor the human and animal spirit to live and persevere in the face of adversity in life.  Let this be a lesson to us all that this spirit is strong within all of us and especially in the story you are about to read about Molly the Pony.

 The story came to me by a friend who sent me the email and it goes like this:

 “Meet Molly. She’s a gray speckled pony who was abandoned by her owners when Katrina hit southern Louisiana, USA. She spent weeks on her own before finally being rescued and taken to a farm where abandoned animals were stockpiled.

While there, she was attacked by a pit bull terrier, and almost died. Her gnawed right front leg became infected and her vet went to LSU for help. But LSU was overwhelmed, and this pony was a welfare case. You know how that goes.But after surgeon Rustin Moore met Molly, he changed his mind.

 “This was the right horse and the right owner,” Moore insists.

 I am not sure who wrote this letter but the whole story is available in a book written by Pam Kaster of Louisiana.  You can give it to a friend of yours who is battling a disease, who has lost hope, who is depressed and who needs a good story to regain their spirit. It sure lifted mine.  

I have not given you the whole story and omitted parts of it in the hopes that you will get this book and read it all or give it to someone you love. 

You can get the book by clicking here:            Molly the Pony Book 

The writer is Pam Kaster who is a member of the Equine Photographers Network. She also managed a program for disabled riders for three years and continues to study natural horsemanship techniques and lives in Zachary, Louisiana.

The new arrival of Vet Regenerative Medicine is here and the use of stem cells in animals such as Dogs, Horses and Cats is becoming a safe and successful procedure for arthritis in pets.

Unlike the embryo cells used in human stem cell research, this procedure uses fat cells that are harvested and re injected into the hip or affected area. The cells then regrow or regenerate health cells and within 30 days there is marked improvement in function and healing with the cell transplants.

A company in San Diego called Vet Stem is the leader in Regenerative medicine using harvested stem cells from the fat cells in an animal which is then implanted into the hip or joint areas and the treatment has a high success rate.

The cells used from one’s body and using your own cells is far superior and heal more quickly without the problems of rejection from foreign cells such as in organ transplants.

Stem cells by nature can take on the traits of many kinds of cells and then reproduce healthy cells all by themselves. Vet Stem indicates that since these cells are obtained from the dog’s own tissue it is considered a transplant.

Dogs suffering with Severe arthritis, hip dysphasia, osteoarthritis can be a thing of the past. Hip replacements cost $ 10,000.00 usually and a stem cell transplant would be far less at around $ 2,500.00 and far healthier for a pet. Animal stem cell research is far ahead of stem cell therapy in humans and is not experimental any more it is being used widely.

Even if a dog has had a bone problem since birth or a crooked paw they can experience a pain free life in a matter of months. The restrictions in human stem cell research due to the controversy has halted progress but stem cell transplants, remains unrestricted in animals. There are no side effects, because you using the bodies own cells re-injecting in the hips than the body’s immune system could replicate quick enough to affect rejuvenation.

There are over 200 veterinarians who can perform the procedure of stem cell fat transplants.

Approximately 30 grams which is 2 tablespoons of fat, is extracted from the shoulder area or anywhere in the body, sent to the Vet Stem company and is chopped up, treated and the stem cells are separated. The stem cells are sent back to the vet and re introduced by injection and that is all that is needed.

The CEO of Vet Stem Mr. Robert Harmon states that they have successfully treated 3,000 horses and 2,000 dogs with an 80 percent marked improvement success rate.

A race horse by the name of “ Be A Bono” was losing ground and suffering from bone chips which would have ended its career and life. After stem cell treatment Be a Bono went on to win 1.3 million dollars at the race track.

People stated to ask about whether it would work for their dogs and a Newfoundland dog named Magic was bounding around a month after stem cell treatments with significant improvement.

The future holds promise for damaged hearts, liver and kidney in humans with more stem cell research.

Utilizing healthy stem cells injected into damaged organs can rejuvenate and heal the affected organ. It can be used for human strokes, heart attacks and spinal cord injury usually within hours of the injury. This will replace harsh surgical procedures by using the bodies own ability to heal itself

the cells we have in our own bodies are far more superior to healing than any man made contraption or surgical procedure.

Dogs regain range of motion, are more energetic and start jumping again as if they were young puppies. Doctors are testing adult cell therapy for heart disease and leukemia but progress has been slowed by controversy and restrictions.
