Holistic medicine?
I was surfing the net and interested in holistic medicine. Came across
a product that holistic vets seem to recommend a lot, called Renafood, by Standard Process. It's for cats with renal disease (my older cat has early CRF, and I'm trying to find everything I can to help him). But in reading the ingredients, it says each pill contains 2.4 mg of phosphorous. WTH? I thought phosphorous is the devil when it comes to renal problems. I'm confused. Juls p.s. There's also a product called 6 Chinese Teas or something like that. Anyone ever use that? There's a lot of conflicting info out there, and it's hard to know what's right. -- To email (remove annoying hyphens) j-u-l-i at e-c-t-dot-o-r-g |

There's a lot of conflicting info out there, and it's hard to know what's right. Do your research. Talk to a vet. I have taken my senior cat to a holistic vet. She was dying from a hyperthyroid. The hepatrophin by Standard Process prescribed for her liver has served her well. She also takes Female Support 1030 by BestForYourPet and then of course the methimazole medication. I will give her Azmira Detox I get from a little place in canada but only for a week at a time every now and then. She's 20 now and holding up well. Talk to your vet very carefully. Some don't get involved with the holsitic stuff. Mine had bad help and got a little far out and carried away with the dollar squeezing so I stopped using him. However, he did save my cat's life at the time. It's been almost six years and I'm very happy with her health and maintain her routine because of it. I don't know a thing about phosporous. Proceed with caution. |
