Dietary Needs

The old adage “we are what we eat” holds true for our animals as well as ourselves. There are many opinions about the best diet for ourselves and our animals, it is most important to determine what works best for you and your pets. Commercial pet foods tend to be filled with chemicals, preservatives and lots of unknown by-products. After reading Dr. Martin Goldsteins’ book, The Nature of Animal Healing, our pets lives were changed forever and I believe that they are all healthier because of it.

Dogs

Our dogs, primarily eat a diet of cooked (organic) ground beef, turkey or chicken with rice, shredded fresh vegetables out of our garden and a little bit of natural kibble. For our 2 twin black and white Shih Tzus, they also get 1 drop of Natural Cellular Defense morning and night and ¼ teaspoon on Essential Daily Nutrients in the morning.

One of our Shih Tzus was born only 3oz, he was the runt and the breeder did not think he would make it…needless to say I couldn’t leave him behind. Anyway, his brother has always been super active - always running around, interested in his environment, playing with all his toys, etc., while his little brother would just lie around and sleep, eat and show no interest in his surroundings or toys. He was chubby, lethargic and had no interest in learning anything. Within two days of starting him on the Natural Cellular Defense, he became more active, started playing with all the toys and became the tough guy in the game of wrestle and run. He also has become much more interested in his training and quicker to learn more commands and tricks.

Horses

Our horses are all dressage athletes. They are stabled in 36’X36’ covered pens and watered exclusively in large barrels so that their consumption can be monitored and they have a large supply of clean fresh water.

I have lived and had show horses in Upstate New York, Ohio, Australia and Arizona. Diets do change depending upon the environment and availability. I currently feed a small amount of alfalfa hay, free feed bemuda hay (so they can graze all day just like mother nature intended) , alfalfa pellets (nothing puts on a better topline) and they get garlic each morning and 5 drops of Natural Cellular Defense 3x a day.

One of our horses, an Oldenburg mare has always been a little hot and distracted in her work and in her stall. I spoke with one vet who had used a lot of Natural Cellular Defense in her practice and she said that they found that this type of behavior she believed to be linked to mercury and that the zeolites might help. After just a few days on the zeolites, I noticed a marked difference in her behavior in her stall as well as in the ring. She as much more focused, less reactionary and calmer in her acceptance of new things. I also noticed a big difference in her condition, recovery time and strength. Our Grand Prix horse certainly showed marked improvement in condition, nutrient absorption and energy.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

All people and animals need to drink plenty of clean, fresh water especially when taking activated liquid zeolites. The only way that toxins, chemicals and heavy metals are removed is through excretion of urine and sweat. You will notice that your animals will tend to drink more when they are on Natural Cellular Defense . Be sure to monitor their water and provide plenty of it. As a human, you should drink no less that 1/2oz of water per pound of body weight ( if you weigh 100#s you should drink 50 oz of water daily).
