RAW
FOOD DIET:
A
growing number of veterinarians and animal nutritionists say that
many of our pets' disease and suffering can be prevented or cured
with nutrition. "A growing number of vets state that processed
pet food is the main cause of illness and premature death in the
modern dog and cat.
In December 1995, the British Journal of Small
Animal Practice published a paper contending that processed pet
food suppresses the immune system and leads to liver, kidney, heart
and other diseases. This research, initially conducted by Dr Tom
Lonsdale, was researched further by the Australian Veterinary
Association and proven to be correct."
For a return to health,
pets require a diet which strengthens the immune system and most
closely resembles that which they would get in the wild. "
Dr. William Pollak D.V.M, says that 74.7% of common diseases in
dogs and 63% of common diseases in cats can be eliminated without
medical intervention over a period of one year with proper diet
modifications and an understanding of the healing process as
exhibited through healing episodes. Approaching disease from the
perspective of health is the most powerful means of eliminating
disease".
