Restoring Health to Cats & Dogs
Blue Rock Station Style
A New Approach:
About 10 years ago my favorite cat, Emma, lay dying. I’d been on a trip and when I returned I could see that she was in her last moments on this earth.
She could hardly move. She was skin and bones – all excess weight having dropped off her in a surprisingly short period of time. I rushed her to the vet who held no hope for her survival. He sent her home to die, diagnosing that she had probably eaten a lizard, which released a toxin that blocked the billiary ducts in her liver.
Five years earlier Santa Claus had placed this little black cat with yellow eyes in my stocking. Her name, “Emma” was the first word my granddaughter spoke. How could I just let her die?
That night my husband and I put her frail body between us in bed and we laid our hands on her to give her the energy to make it through the night. I was desperate to try anything. I needed time to figure out what to do. The next morning I raced to the health food store (about 45 miles away) in a last ditch search for help. A kindly store clerk referred me to the book THE NEW NATURAL CAT by
Anitra Frazier. I read the book with growing excitement as a whole new approach to pet care was revealed to me.
I read the chapter on healing your pet quickly as I stood in the aisle of the health food store. Following the book’s advice, I began to gather all the ingredients she recommended, my witch’s brew that might prove to be Emma’s last hope.
Armed with some Brewer’s yeast, wheat bran, bone meal, calcium gluconate, kelp powder and more (don’t worry, I will give you the recipe for this concoction that I still use today), I raced home, anxious to see if I could save Emma’s life.
We forced a little of it down her throat. She did not resist, as she lay limp, her paws like ice. Now (according to the book) all we could do was wait.
Within an hour I heard Emma howling from the bathroom. I could hardly believe that she had dragged herself that far considering the state she was in. The howling grew louder as I raced for the bathroom, in time to see her licking the bathtub facet in an attempt to get fresh water. I ran the tap and she drank for the first time since I had arrived home.
Over the course of the next few days we managed to get some acidophilus in her, as well as more of the new mixture. She didn’t jump up and do a jig, but it was clear that she was trying to live. I massaged her skinny body. I soothed her with soft words. I held her as I worked at the computer. Slowly but surely she recovered. Within 10 days she was herself again.
Emma lived for three more years. She eventually died of liver cancer – probably brought on by eating that nasty lizard she had so excitedly caught and killed. But during those three years she lived a healthy happy life – something we want for all of our beloved pets.
At the time of Emma’s illness I was totally ignorant of any alternatives that could heal cats. Like most people, I’d always just relied on the vet. However, vets have become more and more like medical doctors – pushing drugs and using sterile, uncaring methods for treatment. The vet had made it clear that there was no hope for Emma, and he was right, if I used his methods. Fortunately, we found another approach. And that approach worked for Emma (and many other pets since).
The knowledge I gained from Emma helped me think about illness in another way. I continue to use this approach because I find that it works. I am sure most veterinarians are well educated and well meaning… but (and now I commit blasphemy) they do not know everything. They especially seem to understand very little about the magic of the immune system.
I use veterinarians to assess my pet’s health problem (if I can’t figure it out and they can – which is not often). Then we use love, good touch, herbs, vitamins, and sensible nutrition to heal the cats and dogs at Blue Rock Station.
