I have experienced recovery myself. I have witnessed recovery in others that some would say impossible. I want the time to come when it’s common for new mothers to be thoroughly detoxified before getting pregnant. I want to see a time when the majority of breeding programs are approached from a toxin-free viewpoint. I want to see breeders who are educated in nutrition and natural health care instead of just taking what their vet says as the gospel truth. An example I hear a lot is “I feed blankity-blank food because that's what my vet recommends, and besides it’s convenient because that’s the food my vet sells”.

Medicine in the US, including veterinary medicine, is an industry, a very profitable one I might add. Without illness the industry would suffer greatly and in turn our economy. This includes genetic testing. Genetic testing, is a tool the industry has found to perpetuate itself masked as a “preventative approach”. To label testing “Genetic” (with the exception of Von Willebrand disease, as the DNA marker has been found) is fraudulent. It should be called something like “Currently Affected/Unaffected” testing as the current tests available will only tell us if the dog is affected at the time of the test. If a stud dog has been used for several different litters and has passed his testing, up to say age 5, then is retired and develops something at 8 then what? Oops! At best, with the current approach, we are shooting in the dark. We must look for the triggers that cause these conditions to manifest.

Now, I know that if some of you old-time breeders read this, the hair on the back of your necks may be standing on end. Please let me make it perfectly clear to you that I am not implying that genetics is not a factor in disease. It is. I am stating that we have unintentionally turned some genetic switches in recent generations by giving our dogs toxins thinking we were doing the right thing because that’s what we were told to do by “the experts”. There are effective natural alternatives for the vast majority of health situations that might come up. We can, with proper care, turn those genetic switches back off if we start before it’s too late. It might be already.

We have been betrayed and in the process inadvertently betrayed our beloved dogs by weakening their immune systems thus making them more susceptible to disease, some of which were not an issue at all decades ago. We can reverse this process, but it’s going to take some agreement, breeder-to-breeder and breeder-to-pet-parent. Some say it’s going to take 3 to 5 generations to reverse the adverse effects that have been bestowed upon our canine friends following the advice of those who profit from our lack of ability to obtain sound data. The internet has brought vast amounts of knowledge right at our finger tips. We are becoming smarter and less easily-fooled.

So, with that said, at the risk of my popularity among the main stream, I am providing you with resources that I have gathered. It is my duty because I have the information. It would be wrong of me to keep it to myself. If you have the interest, you can use what I have learned to help take care of yourself, your children and your pets. I am still learning and will continue to update my site with new information as it comes to me.

Some of the information is human-based but remember that mammalian bodies are very similar in makeup so it can be said that what applies to humans can apply to other mammals as well.

It’s really not all that complicated to obtain good health and good health in our offspring. Good nutrition, avoiding ingested chemicals as much as possible, getting the toxins that are in the body out by exercise, homeopathy and other means are now available to us.

Be grateful on a daily basis. Know that we all possess the power to determine our own future and the future ones we love so dearly who depend on us to do the right thing.
