HOW TO PROTECT YOUR PETS (AND YOURSELF) FROM CANCER

PLEASE NOTE: I APOLOGIZE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE, BUT I AM UNABLE TO SCHEDULE ANY CONSULTATIONS AT THIS TIME. PLEASE READ THROUGH ALL THE OLDER POSTS AS THEY CONTAIN A WEALTH OF HELPFUL INFORMATION ABOUT PREVENTING DISEASE IN YOUR BELOVED PET. THANK YOU!




A HOLISTIC PET CONSULTATION CAN: 
  • Create many more healthy years w/your pets
  • Save you $$ on vet bills
  • Stack the odds against your pet ever developing diseases like cancer, urine crystals, skin conditions, allergies, etc.
all in one fun, easy, informative, life-enhancing 
holistic pet-care consultation! 

No pet CATCHES cancer. It DEVELOPS in a body that is toxic and out of balance. It is a symptom. Addressing the CAUSE enables the body to HEAL ITSELF. And remember- it's so much easier, less expensive and less scary to prevent a diagnosis than to "fight" one.
Bodies are created to maintain vibrant health. When they are overloaded with toxins from processed foods and the chemical soup most of us live in from laundry products, air fresheners, cosmetics, flea control products, cleaners and perfumes to name a few- there ends up being too many battles for the body to win the war.

NOW AVAILABLE: phone consultations worldwide with certified holistic pet/toxic-free lifestyle consultant and author of The Healing Art of Pet Parenthood, Nadine M. Rosin

CANCER WITH QUITE A SURPRISE ENDING!


This woman knows: there are many ways to "clear/cleanse/build" and when done properly, such a protocol works with any body be it canine, feline, human, etc.

Bodies are created to maintain vibrant health. When they are overloaded with toxins from processed foods and the chemical soup most of us live in from laundry products, air fresheners, cosmetics, flea control products, cleaners and perfumes to name a few- there ends up being too many battles for the body to win the war.

No one, including a pet, catches cancer. It develops in a body that is toxic and out of balance. It is a symptom. Addressing the cause enables the body to HEAL ITSELF.

I learned this the hard way and you can read my story here.

In the meantime, enjoy this woman's demonstration of how dramatically a body can heal itself!

DO OTHERS THINK YOU STINK? Some Safe Alternatives

For millions of people, I'm preaching to the choir---

You already know what it's like to have an immediate reaction to your neighbor's dryer vent as they're doing laundry, or to hotel sheets, or to someone walking past you marinated in alcohol-based perfume or cologne, sitting next to them at a stage performance- or even worse- standing next to them at the gym:
  • gagging
  • breaking out in a sweat
  • immediate onset of headache or migraine
  • heart palpitations
  • sick to stomach
  • feeling disgusted and repulsed by the sickeningly sweet smell




But even if it doesn't make you sick immediately- for those who DON'T have that reaction/sensitivity, do you realize what you are exposing yourself (AND YOUR PETS) to?

Do you realize that your skin and lungs are absorbing these chemicals 24/7 through your clothes, sheets, pillowcases and bath towels? You may not "feel" it today, but one day it might show up as something worse (see below).

Please- read the list below of common fabric softener, dryer sheet, and alcohol-based cologne/perfume ingredients and think about it. These ingredients are often NOT listed on a label- the loophole being that they are protected as "Trade Secret" ingredients. Please consider the easy, safe, inexpensive alternatives:
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar added to wash instead of fabric softener will leave your clothes smelling clean (not like vinegar) and soft
  • lavender flowers tied in an old nylon stocking and added to dryer will cut down static cling
  • wearing a pure essential oil instead of alcohol-based scent will eliminate the absorption of harmful chemicals through your nose and skin and make the world a better place for the millions with chemical sensitivities not to mention children and pets

IS YOUR DOG A SENIOR CITIZEN?


By Nadine M. Rosin For The Dog Files
  My greatest wish, is that every pet parent is lucky enough to someday have to face the issue of senior canine care. When my own dog, Buttons, was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 8, the vet referred to her as a senior dog. Not only was I unwilling to lose my beloved canine to an insidious disease, but I remembered as a child, dogs commonly living into their late teens. So, 8-years old… middle-aged? Maybe. But senior citizen? Definitely not!

How I implemented an intense holistic cleansing and nutritional regimen to successfully heal the cancer without the vet’s prescribed treatment of chemotherapy, radiation and amputation, is a whole other story. This article is about senior canine care. Since Buttons not only survived the cancer, but thrived for an additional 11 years, until passing peacefully of old age at 19, I am blessed to have some life experience with a canine elder.

Of course, regardless of age, a pure, clean diet and chemical-free environment are essential for a strong immune system. Dogs metabolize everything so much faster than we do-whereas our bodies can endure a certain amount of toxic abuse for 40 or 50 years before retaliating, a dog’s body will start showing disease in 5-7 years. In my experience, it’s wise to take note of what chemical exposure there is in your own home via often overlooked things as cleaning products, laundry products, and air fresheners.

Past a certain age, supplements start taking on an even greater role and I encourage every pet parent to do their own online research of the many available choices. Personally, I had a lot of success with Yucca Extract to ease any joint stiffness or swelling Buttons had. Yucca is a natural steroid with no negative side effects and is easy to mix in food. Also, after much reading on its use in Germany and Italy on human stroke victims, I began using Alpha Lipoic Acid to help with any symptoms of CDS (doggy Alzheimer’s).

The last 3 years of Buttons’ life, I was very careful to keep a steady routine, not move any furniture, and basically keep everything in her world as predictable as possible. When the time came, we experimented with different brands of diapers. For her 18th birthday I bought a cushy, fold-up baby stroller to take with us on hikes for when she got tired. At one point, due to her aging eyesight and cognitive function, I covered the sharp edges of our furniture with foam.

Ok. Now here’s the hard part- the one that isn’t so comfortable to read, but the part that is, in my opinion, essential. Take lots and lots of photos and video- they will help comfort you through the grieving process when the inevitable happens. When Butts was 17, I bought a bunch of disposable cameras. Every time I filled one up with pictures of her, I’d put it in a box in the back of my closet. It wasn’t until months after her passing that I began having them developed, one by one. What a comfort it was to have new photos of her even after she’d gone.

Take a day here and there away from your busy life to shut out the rest of the world and really connect deeply with your animal’s spirit- to consciously and uninterruptedly just BE with this unconditionally loving soul who’s been such a deep and delightful part of your life. Believe me, there will come a time when you will be so glad you did.

Do any research about what your choices are and how you will handle the details of your dog’s body after their passing. It’s so much easier to think clearly and gather facts well before the day you are thrown into that gut-wrenching grief.

Most importantly, as much as you can, treasure each moment for what it is- find the joy in it, rather than missing what was or fearing what’s to come. I mean, our dogs never stop teaching us how to do just that, right? Having a senior canine can be so precious and such a profound learning experience. Your canine may not be bounding along the beach or scampering up the trail any longer, but your relationship will be as priceless as a rare, old cognac, and by then, you’ll undoubtedly be finishing each others sentences, too.

FOR THE PET PARENT WHO REFUSES TO SCRIMP


First of all, a quick "thank you!" to "Gail" in Baltimore who's responsible for my waking up this morning to another 5 star book review!  What a great way to start the day, knowing I've touched a stranger's heart :-)

Those of you who've read my book, know that through the years  I used several AZMIRA products for supplementing Buttons' diet to keep her immune system strong and her body alkalized and inflammation-free. MEGA PET DAILY, SEA SUPREME and YUCCA INTENSIVE are the three I've used and shared about most, all with fabulous results.


Please know: I get ABSOLUTELY NO kick-back, promotion, or compensation of any kind from sharing about these products or from your purchasing them. I just know that over the last 30 years, this company has never compromised on quality as seen here.

If an ingredient in one of their formulas is unavailable or not up to their extremely high quality standards, they will suspend or discontinue the product! To me, that is a clear indication that money/profit is NOT their bottom line: YOUR PET'S HEALTH IS!

Bottom line of this post: AZMIRA doesn't scrimp and neither should you. Please research the companies whose products you rely on and make sure they truly have your beloved animal's good health in mind- because that is what is at stake.

Thank you to the good folks at AZMIRA for continuing to hold the high quality standards they always have. It's not easy to go against the norm and do what's right.

Comment Questions: Do you ever research the companies whose products you use? Have you ever called a company and asked questions about their products before purchasing them?

The Illusion of Time

Ten years ago today, my sweet baby Buttons died in my arms. I am sitting here looking out at a beautiful snowfall, crying my heart out. A very wise friend just sent me this: "Yeah. 10 years. 100 years. Yesterday. And right now."
I realize that love is timeless and I guess the illusion of loss is, too.


Sending love to every pet parent out there who knows the feeling.

Two Simple Ways to Help Keep Your Pet Healthy

When my adopted daughter Buttons was 8 years old, she was diagnosed with deadly carcinoma and given 6 weeks to live. It was then that I launched a massive personal research campaign into the world of holistic medicine.

I soon came to learn that “holistic” DIDN'T mean symptom treating with natural remedies or herbs in lieu of pharmaceutical drugs. Instead, it meant clearing my home environment of all possible toxins, detoxifying Buttons’ entire system physically and emotionally, and then giving her the proper nutritional support so that Buttons’ body could do what an unburdened, nontoxic body does best: HEAL ITSELF. The story of that journey is part of what The Healing Art of Pet Parenthood is all about. Here are some of the finer details not mentioned in the book:

Your Pet’s Dishes-
Personally, I would only use glass or stainless steel bowls for food and water. Plastics are known to leach and leak chemicals and some pottery glazes can do the same.

Electrical Outlets-
Everyday, there is more and more published about the ill-effects of EMF (electrical magnetic field) on the immune system. I always made sure Buttons’ bedding and bowls were placed at least 4 feet away from any electrical outlet or live appliance.
