Today's Topic MANUFACTURED PET FOODS

Fritzl knows his Latin when he says, Caveat Emptor!

I get emails nearly everyday from people all over the world, asking me for my healing assistance with their pet companions.

Q: Am I doing anything harmful to my companion by buying X Brand?

A: Great question! A major reason why animals get ill is because they have poor quality nutrition. Some manufacturers have a lower standard regarding the quality of ingredients they use to make pet food. Their foods are filled with poor protein sources, food colorings, and chemical preservatives. Condemned parts (dead, dying, diseased or decayed) and animals rejected for human consumption can be rerouted into commercial pet foods.

Many manufacturers cut costs by using the cheapest ingredients available at the time a food is made. They vary ingredients which results in changed nutrient values for each batch and possible digestive illness.

Some manufacturers have lower standards regarding the freshness of ingredients they use to make pet food. You can not determine the freshness of ingredients by reading a label.

I recently received a message about a major pet food company’s abusive treatment to animals. I could hardly believe the pictures I saw on line as I was comparing them to the cute and loving television ads I would so often see. They even performed surgery on dogs to remove their voice box so that the workers would not have to hear their cries. If they experiment and treat their animals like this, do you think they care about the nutrition they are selling you? Do you think they really care about you or your loved one? Or do you think that they are only interested in their quickest and easiest profit? For more information please visit: IamsCruelty.

Health problems plague our pets: allergies, eczema, digestive disorders, autoimmune diseases, diseases of the kidney and liver, and cancers. Most diseases become established when a chemical imbalance impairs the body's immune capabilities. The most common way chemicals are introduced is through the foods we serve. These chemicals accumulate over time and can eventually compromise cells, tissues and organ systems. These chemicals enter the body through absorption (insecticides), inhalation (toxic household cleansers), penetration of the feet or skin (parasites), ingestion (food and water) and through vaccines and antibiotics.

The food additive (illegal since 1963, but ubiquitous) that is in most pet food formulas, Menadione Sodium Bisulfite, is still being used by some companies today.

There is a recent discovery of Pentobarbital used in major pet foods. Pentobarbital is a chemical used to euthanize animals. Many holistic veterinarians feel that daily ingestion of pentobarbital can be harmful.

Fritzl is only 13” high, and stands even to a car’s tailpipe. Living in Chicago, there is much pollution and heavy traffic. I give my Fritzl a capsule of high quality chlorella every day. Chlorella will detoxify the body of heavy metals and environmental pollutants. It’s proven ability removes many of the toxins that accumulate in our bodies from the foods we eat, the water we drink, and the air we breathe. The indigestible cellulose as chlorella’s cell wall attracts and binds with heavy metal poisons such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and with hydrocarbon pesticides and insecticides. I also give him Bupleurum Liver Cleanse, which supports the natural cleansing action of the liver.
