Kidney Values Lowered
Crystal has had kidney issues for 7 years. We have been able to keep her Creatinine down to 2.1 (below 2.0 is "normal") with herbs, bicom and color therapy (Crystal loves the Scarlet and Magenta lights). She does not follow any special diet and can not receive fluids because of heart issues. In October, Crystal's Creatinine went up to 2.7. What had changed? During our busy Fall, I had let our color therapy sessions lapse. I went back to treating her 4 or more times weekly. I also was able to get an occasional acupressure session in (Crystal only allows this in "special instances"...she absolutely decides when). Last week at recheck her Creatinine was 2.1 once again.

Success with Hyperthyroidism
Sammy is a 17year old kitty that did not tolerate Methimazole tablets to control her thyroid levels. Although she could tolerate a low dose of this medication as a transdermal gel, when her T4 was 7.8 (normal 1.9-4.8) in October, we could not increase the amount without stomach upset. Since she has mild kidney changes, she was also not a candidate for surgery or a radioactive iodine treatment. I started Sammy on bugleweed twice daily as well as L-Carnitine and Standard Process's Hepatic Support. (Elevated thyroid levels can harm the liver and Sammy had several elevated liver values.) I gave weekly acupressure treatments to sedate the Triple Heater meridian and used the oils of Myrrh and Myrtle on selected points. She also started twice a month bioresonance theray at Country Care Animal Complex in Green Bay. I am happy to report that Sammy's T4 was 3.8 and her liver enzymes returned to normal!!
