Pet Newsletter - Your Pet's Arthritis or Joint Related Problems

January 2008

If your dog or cat has arthritis or joint related problems there are some steps you can do to help them. First, lets talk about how arthritis starts. Arthritis can flair up in conjunction with, or as a direct reaction to a prior accident or injury to the vertebrae or joint, a genetic prediposition(hip dysplasia), and infection(feline luekemia, tick fever)and even from certain reactive(allergies)or autoimmune conditions where the body attacks its own joint and tendon tissue cells(lupus). Weakened organ systems, especially involving congested or malfunctioning liver, kidneys, adrenal,and thyroid glands, seem to go hand-in-hand with chronic arthritis.

Symptoms can be best suppressed and possibly reversed homeopathically and/or herbal while the structure is strengthened through nutritional supplementation. Remember that homeopathy stimulates the body into symptom-suppression while the herbs and nutrients support and fuel the body parts for long-term symptom reversal. Acute arthritic-reactions can be successfully suppressed with a few doses of homeopathy, given five to fifteen minutes apart.

Exercise is vital to strengthening the bones, muscles and ligaments when preventing or reversing an arthritic condition. Daily play, running and rolling on the ground helps maintain the flexibility needed for optimum structural ability.

Natural remedies and herbal supplementation can replace toxic drugs like Rymadyl prescribed by your Veterinarian. Yucca Intensive is a very effective anti-inflammatory. The roots contain steroidal saponins, which react in the body as chemical steroids do, without the side effects; they also reduce tissue inflammation and pain. Be sure to use a cold-pressed extract found in Azmira's rather than the low potency by-product powder or even weaker, teas or tinture. Standardized extract contain up to eighty-five percent more bio-available saponins and is easier on the digestive tract then any other forms.

Joint E'zer is a pharmaceutically pure Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate which helps repair connective tissues and lubricate the joint for stability and improved movement.

Finally, the addition of our Foundation Supplements(Super C 2000, Garlic Daily Aid, Mega Pet Daily)helps strengthen ligaments and tendons and reduces inflammation in the joints. Exercise, homeopathic remedies and nutritional supplementation are the important steps that can dramatically improve the condition of arthritis without the need of toxic drugs and pain killers.
