Canine Diet for the Kidneys
Excerpted from Dr Pitcairn's book,
"*Preferably organic or certified organic
Mix everything together in a large bowl. Otherwise, mix all but the vitamins together, boil about 20 minutes, wait until it cools to mix in the vitamins. Your dog may have a poor appetite, so to some extent you will need to cater to him to keep him alive. Occasionally, substitute 1 to 3 teaspoons of liver for part of the meat. Be sure to provide plenty of fresh, pure water (filtered or bottled) at all times. Also encourage drinking by providing meat broth (warm) once or twice a day.
Feline Diet for the Kidneys
Excerpted from, "
"*Preferably organic or certified organic
Mix everything together in a large bowl. Serve raw if the cat will accept it. Otherwise, mix all but the vitamins together, bake about 20 minutes in a moderate oven and then wait until it cools to mix in the vitamins. Your cat may have a poor appetite, so to some extent you will need to cater to him to keep him alive. Occasionally, substitute 1 to 3 teaspoons of liver for part of the meat. Be sure to provide plenty of fresh, pure water (filtered or bottled) at all times. Also encourage drinking by providing meat or fish broth (warm) once or twice a day.
Poisoning can destroy the liver. Fortunately, the liver is one of the few organs that CAN be regenerated 100%.
You can do the following to help cleanse and detox the liver, in addition to the Internal Gold Detox Kit to help cleanse, detox, and regenerate the liver. Do this especially if your pet is having white colored bowel movements or if you see a yellow/jaundiced look in the eyes which should be white.
Milk Thistle ~ This works great in enemas, along with the fresh lemon juice above. If your pet is keeping down oral fluids, give orally, otherwise give this via enema.
Turmeric ~ Excellent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-carcinogenic, cardio and gastrointestinal effects and great for the liver. You can find this herb at a health food store. Note, Turmeric will stain things it touches yellow/orange.
Lemon Juice (Fresh) ~ Fresh squeezed lemon juice alkalizes the body, helps cleanse the liver, and is high in vitamin C.
Animal Weight | Milk Thistle | Lemon Juice | Turmeric |
0 to 3 lbs. | 4 drops | 4 drops | 250 mg |
4 to 10 lbs. | 10 drops | 10 drops | 250 mg |
11 to 20 lbs. | 15 drops | 15 drops | 250 mg |
21 to 30 lbs. | 20 drops | 20 drops | 500 mg |
31 to 40 lbs. | 25 drops | 25 drops | 750 mg |
41 to 50 lbs. | 30 drops | 30 drops | 750 mg |
51 to 80 lbs. | 35 drops | 35 drops | 1000 mg |
81 to 120 lbs. | 40 drops | 40 drops | 1250 mg |
121 to 150 lbs. | 40 drops | 40 drops | 1500 mg |
151 to 200 lbs. | 45 drops | 45 drops | 1750 mg |
MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) ~ is an excellent natural anti-inflammatory that will help reduce inflammation and pain quickly. You can purchase 1# of "Pure" 100% MSM powder or crystals at a feed store for about $15.00. You can also find it at a health food store, Walmart, pharmacies, etc.
When dosing pets with severe inflammation/pain, you double the initial dose for the first two weeks (though, hopefully, you will not need to give for 2 weeks). Doubled dose rates are given below. If necessary to treat your pet longer than 2 weeks, then back off on the dose below to one half that amount after 2 weeks. Expect your pet to appear more relaxed and comfortable within an hour or two of dosing.
Turmeric ~ Excellent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-carcinogenic, cardio and gastrointestinal effects and great for the liver. You can
find this herb at a health food store, Walmart and some pharmacies.
Vitamin C ~ Preferably a buffered form, such as Ester C, calcium ascorbate, sodium ascorbate, etc. Vitamin C has excellent anti-oxidant properties, mild anti-inflammatory properties, detox, and immune system support.
Dose the MSM and Turmeric, if you can obtain both, 1/3rd the daily dose, 3x/day to equal the daily recommended dose. You can give an initial dose of one-half the MSM daily dose, then split the other half of the daily dose into 1/4 for the remaining two doses for the first day. These products are similar to the qualities of aspirin without aspirin side effects (one which can be death in small children) which is why it is necessary to dose 3x/day.
These products can be given orally, if they are keeping oral fluids down, or given via enema which can actually have better effects than oral doses. Vitamin C (use preferably a buffered form such as sodium ascorbate, calcium ascorbate or Ester C) as it is easier on the stomach. Vitamin C is eliminated from the body within 2 to 4 hours of ingestion, so it is best to dose small amounts, numerous times/day to reach the daily recommended amount.
Animal Weight | MSM | Vitamin C | Turmeric |
0 to 20 lbs. | 1000 mg | 1000 mg | 250 mg |
21 to 30 lbs. | 1500 mg | 2500 mg | 500 mg |
31 to 60 lbs. | 2000 mg | 3500 mg | 750 mg |
61 to 90 lbs. | 3000 mg | 5000 mg | 1000 mg |
91 to 120 lbs. | 4000 mg | 7000 mg | 1250 mg |
121 lbs & up | 6000 mg | 8500 mg | 1500 mg |
Pure aloe juice ~ can either be alternated with regular pedialyte (or other electrolyte fluid doses) or you can use half aloe and half pedialyte for each enema dose, mixed with the above ingredients. Aloe has lots of excellent properties, anti-inflammatory, soothing, healing, and laxative are the reasons we are using it for these severely inflamed pets.
Use the liver detox remedies (milk thistle & lemon juice) as well in each enema given. Mix well. Expect the turmeric to stain the pet's fur and or your fingers a nice yellow/orange color.
Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT put ANY toxic substances in or on your pet. This means, do NOT:
These toxic substances are poisons and will further toxify your pet's body. PLEASE, do NOT allow these things to be given to your pet as it will only serve to further lower their immune system AND toxify the kidneys and liver further.
Other helpful remedies would include:
Vitamins, minerals and water do not supply any energy. The following nutrients are essential:
