Natural Cat Health Comes With a Natural Diet and Holistic Health Care

It is difficult to improve on natural cat health. Nature has had a long time perfecting the totality that goes into making your cat whole. Humans, on the other hand, seem determined to make a mess of everything they touch. If your cat enjoys natural health, she will be happier and live longer. And your bank balance will not suffer, as a result.

Here are some suggestions for how to achieve this natural harmony.

Diet is one of the most critical areas that either enhances health or destroys it. A natural diet, based on your cat’s evolution enhances health. A typical diet of the modern cat, commercial and processed can, and in most cases does, destroy your cat’s health.

There are a multitude of reasons for this, not least because the quality is poor, the protein is insufficient and the chemical load, in most cases, is toxic.

Providing your cat with a home made food, where you control the quality of the ingredients, goes much further in satisfying your cat’s dietary requirements than almost any commercial cat food. Although this seems a daunting and time consuming task, once you know what to do, it is simply a matter of routine.

With a natural diet firmly in place, you may find that all your cat’s ailments clear up. This is not unusual. Ill health is normally a result of several contributing factors. Improve just one, and the immune system can work at restoring peace once again.

However, some ailments may remain and need a little help. One of the deepest, most powerful, yet gentlest modality of health care is homeopathy. This natural system of health care has no dangers lurking – no side effects, no toxic load, no painful procedures, no invasive tests to subject your cat to. It simply works by gently boosting your cat’s immune system, in the direction it is already trying to go.

The results are a happier cat, a naturally healthier cat, a cat with the potential for a long and disease-free life, and a great load off your wallet. By combining these two areas of natural cat health care, you can expect far better results that you imagined were possible.

Health Care-A Misnomer

Health care is a misnomer in the United States. Despite the fact that the U.S. leads the world in health care spending it ranks very low on a number of health measures including longevity and infant mortality.

Drs. Gary Null, Carolyn Dean, Martin Feldman, Debora Rasio and Dorothy Smith, authors of “Death by Medicine” report in their groundbreaking research that 783,936 people die every year in the United States from conventional medicine mistakes. This is the equivalent of six jumbo jet crashes a day for a year.

Of the 783,936 annual deaths due to conventional medical procedures, about 106,000 are from prescription drugs, according to Death by Medicine. That is a conservative number, because of underreported cases of adverse drug reactions some experts estimate that approximately 200,000 deaths occur annually.

The truth of the matter is the problem is not with health care the problem is that Traditional Western Medicine (TWM) is based on disease care.

If you went to an MD and said, “Doc, I am feeling great, but I would like to feel even better, what would you suggest I do?” The majority of TWM doctors would not know where to begin, because their training is in the management of disease. TWM helping someone feel better ends when the complaints have ceased to appear, whether the root cause of the complaint was healed or not. Once there are no symptoms, TWM has nothing to offer.

The body is designed to heal itself provided it has the proper support to do its job. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is based on a concept of balanced qi (pronounced “chee”), or vital energy, that is believed to flow throughout the body. Qi is proposed to regulate a person’s spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical balance and to be influenced by the opposing forces of yin (negative energy) and yang (positive energy). Disease is proposed to result from the flow of qi being disrupted and yin and yang becoming imbalanced. Among the components of TCM are herbal and nutritional therapy, restorative physical exercises, meditation, acupuncture, and remedial massage.

Holistic, Metaphysical, Energy or Mind, Body, Spirit healing has existed since the beginning of time amid religious beliefs and practices, along with the mystery, superstition, fear, and misunderstanding. Holistic Healing is now becoming recognized regardless of what anyone chooses to believe or think. Ask almost anyone about their spiritual well-being and they will probably tell you, “Yeah, I am a spiritual person, I go to church frequently.” Therein, the confusion arises out of the association of healing with religion. The majority of people, including religious leaders, do not understand the difference.

If you are free of symptoms you may not be sick, but that does not necessarily mean that you are completely healthy either. If you were to consider being disease free as health there is still the question of just how healthy are you?

Holistic health care–TCM, Homeopathy, and Naturopathy has the goal of having every system in your body functioning at or as close as possible to 100%. You can be healthy in Mind, Body and Spirit provided you have the proper support to do the job.

The Health Benefits of Homeopathy

You can’t deny the health benefits of homeopathy. Although this natural modality of health care is not mainstream (yet), more and more people are turning to this highly effective system. And it’s easy to see why. Here are just some of the benefits of homeopathy, which you can learn to enjoy.

Homeopathy is a deep system of health care. It is able to reach far back into your personal, and indeed family, history to mend the damage.

Homeopathic treatment is powerful but gentle. Immediate improvement can be seen and felt.

There are no side effects or unpleasant consequences of the treatment. This means that there is no time needed for convalescence. And you aren’t likely to suffer any unwanted symptoms. This alone is a breath of fresh air in today’s typical medical model. How much is that alone worth to you?

Homeopathy can cover all ailments, all diseases, because it treats you, not the disease. This means that everything can be treated – from injuries, to migraines, from fever to mental health, from food cravings to tumours and everything in between. Homeopathy is truly a multi-tasked modality.

Homeopathy can be used safely on the very young, even in utero, on the very old, even when frail, and on animals, all with the same benefits.

Diseases can be prevented as well as treated.

Homeopathy is also very flexible. Although the skills of a professional homeopath may be hard to beat, you can learn to use some of the common remedies at home. In itself, this can be a godsend. Being able to treat, or start to treat, problems as they arise, in the middle of the night, on holiday and as injuries and accidents happen, can make this modality worth its weight in gold.

Health Care in America – A Remedy for the System

Imagine a form of medicine that treats acute as well as chronic diseases, may be used on animals, does not have negative side effects or adverse reactions, and has no toxic chemical properties. In Western medicine, where conventional drugs (both prescription and over-the-counter) prevail, the belief is that a treatment that is powerful and yet gentle on the body is not altogether plausible. Fortunately, such an alternative does exist–in the powerful yet gentle treatments of homeopathic medicine.

Homeopathy is a system for treating and preventing disease in which minute amounts of a substance, that in large amounts causes disease symptoms, are given to healthy individuals to enhance the body’s natural defenses. Homeopathic remedies have been used for generations all over the world–in more than 80 different countries. With over 100,000 doctors using homeopathy in their daily practice and over 300 million patients using it in their daily lives, homeopathy is the primary healing process for many.

Homeopathy has a long history of curing people and today is growing more popular even in Europe and South America. Yet until now this medicinal treatment has been relatively ignored by doctors in the United States.

According to the 2007 Shift Report article, “Health Care: A New Model in Medicine” (Institute of Noetic Sciences, Petaluma, CA), over the past century medical care and insurance costs have escalated, millions of Americans have gone without health coverage, and iatrogenic (medically induced) illnesses have increased due to the economic pressures and work overload that medical professionals currently endure.

Now is the time for Americans to become familiar with economically efficient and impressively effective homeopathic medicine.

The good news is that the necessity for change in Western medicine is starting to be recognized and people are beginning to embrace alternatives. The Shift Report article says, “While there is ample reason for concern, this crisis is leading to breakthrough and transformation. Patients and professionals alike are demanding that the heart and soul of medicine be reinstated…Researchers and clinicians are attempting to understand better the nature of the mind-body healing system.” Perhaps Western medicine has had to reach a state of crisis in order for Westerners to be able to more fully envision alternatives? Whatever the cause for awakening, homeopathic medicine is a welcome complement to the American wellness consciousness.

Health & Fitness With Homeopathy

Health & Fitness

Homeopathy is so rich in remedial agents that often its practitioners tend to rely on their drugs alone, and to disregard hygiene and other adjuvants to cure. Especially do they fail to work out diets in detail for their patients. It is essential that they bother to do this for a number of reasons. In the first place, for the psycological effect upon the patient. Patients want to feel that every scientific care is being given them, and that (he doctor takes flattering pains with them; and they need something to do, a call to active co-operation on their part. Especially is this the last case when the actual remedy administration is in so pleasant, simple and sparse a form as Homeopathy prescribes. In the second place, without any drug of any kind, diet can do wonders for many types of cases as modern medicine so ably demonstrates.

Let us consider, for instance, the value without any drug, of strict diets in such diseases as: Diabetes, nephritis, high blood pressure, renal colic and the uric add diabetes, arthritis, gall-stones and jaundice, gastric and duodenal ulcer, mucous colitis, visceroptosis, constipation, obesity, and last, but by no means least, tuberculosis and cancer. Every Homeopathic physician must be grounded in the classical dietary treatments; must know w.hen to give a diabetic the Newburg high-fat diet; and the difference between diets for nephritics and nephtotics; must enforce pure-free diets on the chronic renal colics; must be conversant with the Lippe diet for ulcer; and the LaheyJordan diet for mucous colitis (with its cream of wheat and celery, whose roughage combined with the concomitant rest prescribed does such wonders in those obstinate cases). The physician must know how to influence acidity; strong urine, asthma and eczema by dietary means.

It is good training for us, and a helpful method of experimental control of our remedies, to start chronic patients who have some one of the above mentioned diagnoses, on diet and regimen plus Sac. lac. without any remedy, and see how far you can improve their condition .. Thus do we learn what scientific common sense will, and will not, do for us. Meanwhile you are getting closer to the patient’s true similum, and can give it in prepared ground, with startling and enlightening effect.

Diet can often replace the use of drugs a valuable help for the Homeopath. Take a patient who has been ‘living’ on soda bicarbonate for years. Teach them that soda, chemically alkaline, produces acid, physiologically, in the stomach, and train them to substitute lemon juice and the citrous fruits in general, and watch. You will be amazed that so simple a means will work so well. Meanwhile the soda intoxication symptoms will pass off, and your case values will begin to be unravelled.

The physician must also at the onset remove articles of diet and diet habits of eating which hold the patient back from cure, and which cover the spoor on the trail to a ‘totality’, and therefore to subsequent healthful progress. He learns in this quest the idiosyncrasies to food on t.he part of the patient. These, as every Homeopath knows, are· of great help and import. In this connection there is a wise rule: Chronic cases should not eat to excess that which they especially crave, whereas acute patients may-and should-eat largely of what they crave, if the craving comes on with the illness. The most extraordinary lapses from classical procedure shmv admirable results when this rule is followed, But, be sure that it is a true craving, unusual, individualizing the patient’s reaction to the (so-called) acute disease. The craving for and aversIons. to food in chronics will, of course, give you sound generals for your hierarchy of symptoms.

If, in chronic cases the remedy is given, it will, little by little, enable the patient to assimilate that food which he craved, at the same time, quite reasonably, modifying the craving. For example, I have an Argentum nitricum patient who craved sugar and was ill from it, and who, under Arg. nit. no longer craves it, but can ‘Catch it with impunity. Similarly, I have a Calcare!t child, who, after Calc., ceased craving chalk and indigestibles and can assimilate lime from the food. In connection with being made ill by specific articles of food several interesting points arise: Try at first to see whether it is a combination of foods which disagree, or the one given element of diet. A wise professor once told me that almost anyone could eat almost anything if they ate it by itself. Next in the case of certain. acids, try giving cream cheese or cottage cheese with them.

For instance, those with whom strawberries disagree, can often take stnnvbcrrics if cream cheese is eaten at the same time; and similarly with tomatoes. This also applies to shellfish in some paticncs. Beware the combinations of acids and sugars, starches with meat, III people with delicate digestions. Buttermilk will often so alter the colon’s 110ra and fauna tbat putrefaction is regulated and much elll be digested which hitherto did not agree. A famous German Homeopath, Dr. Schlegel the elder, told me that if everyone would drink buttermilk die race would profit enormously, and if they would add honey (formic acid) and radishes (which are anti-uric-acid) even more trouble ,would be saved. Remember’ that onions help keep blood pressure down (the excitable Italians with their garlic and onions rarely have hypertension.)

In idiosyncrasies of preference rather than actual agrravations, ingenuity will save much trouble. Your child or patient who will not take milk may enjoy it if vichy or seltzer be added, or if milk and cream are mixed’ and half with ginger ale or sarsaparilla. Or the difference between hot and cold milk may change the dislike.

Those needing iron who claim cabbage gives them gas can often take raw cabbage with sour cream dressing. Spinach pureed with egg chopped on it will tempt the anti-green child. Cider and raw apples are marvelous for thinning the arthritic patient. Brown sugar, molasses, maple syrup and honey will not haim him as other sweets will. These hints may seem feminine and trivial, but I assure you, they work. I hope the discussion of this paper will provoke much more lore in this line.

There is another sphere where diet aids materially in cleansing the system. We have mentioned buttermilk and lemon juice. White of egg, with lemon or orange juice makes a detoxifying liver wash for the bilious. The egg albumon forms albuminates with t.he poisons wbich accumulate in the liver. Tea made from red clover blossoms and drunk, two quarts daily, helps the cancer patients and appears to cleanse the system. (An old German ad;u.t1allt).

So far we have not even mentioned the relationship between certain foods and the best action of our remedies. But surely you all know these symbioses and antagonisms. For example, Aconite and acids do not agree, coffee antidotes the action of Nux vomica. These relationships are legion and can be found in Clarke’s Dictionary of Materia Medica and in many other of our classics, under the separate remedies.

In Certain theoretical problems of enormous interest to me come up under this subject. For instance, we use articles of food as remedies. What reaction, if any, may these have on patients sensitive to them, even in the crude, comestible form? And vice versa, can we aid the suitable remedy by giving its crude counterpart as a food simultaneouslv? Furthermore, should we not make and prove the whole range of vegetables, fruits and nutriti~e articles, so that we find a patient with an idiosyncrasy to something we can compare his case with the proving of the offending food and. see whether it may not fit and aid? These foods should be proven on tho~e with a sensitivity to them. For instance, I should prove egg-plant, our friend, Dr. Roberts, has proved tomato, and a patient of mine, who is violently ill from even a dish of red pepper lurking in the soup-though he has plenty in his disposition-would make an admirable prover of Capsicum.

These last considerations are offered to you as ‘articles of diet’. Think them over digest them, and give the society a valuable and full discussion of this too often neglected phase of concomitant Homeopathy.
