Kelsey from Arizona loves her Thyro GO to keep her Thyroid strong!

Kelsey from Arizona loves Thyro GO to keep her thyroid strong. Nutrient rich glands and organs are superb foods for cats and dogs. They are a vital part of a natural carnivore diet. Thyro GO is useful in many endocrine disorders such as hypothyroidism, and Addison's disease.

There are many reasons why fresh, natural foods are superior to processed pet foods. Processed foods (canned, dry, etc.) contain ingredients that are unnatural for pets. Common ingredients are grains and soy products. These are not found in a carnivore's natural diet. It is my opinion that high complex carbohydrate levels are incompatible with carnivore physiology.

The wild relatives of dogs and cats (wolves, tigers, etc.) eat other animals. It is logical that domestic dogs and cats should eat a similar diet. Despite breeding and domestication, they are not very different physiologically from their wild counterparts.

The building block for this formula would be to start first with Pet GO and then add to this depending on the pet's needs. PawHealer glandular concentrates are from New Zealand range-grazed animals. No fertilizer, hormones, antibiotics or feed supplements are used. We use no solvents.

Here are the Links for both:

Foods to sustain the kidney...Kidney Yang Deficiency

This is a list according to the notions of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). There are two aspects to understanding the TCM kidney system, one is kidney yin and one is kidney yang.

To under stand this system, lets use an a car as the analogy:

The fluids of the car, which include liquids such as oil, break fluid, windshield fluids, transmission fluids....are the yin aspect of the car's body.

The yang aspect of this car are the breaks, the steering wheel, the chassis, the transmission, etc...This is the actual functional aspect of the car...the working part's if you will.

Without the necessary fluids and liquids, the car will burn up and breakdown. What happens when our car lacks these necessary liquids? The answer; It over heats....the heating up of the engine because of the lack of fluids is called YIN DEFICIENCY. Yin deficiency is heat.

If the car begins not not properly function, and it begins to break down, the car is then becoming YANG DEFICIENT. Yang is the functional aspect of our car...and because it can't run....Yang deficiency is cold.


First step is to determine if you or your pet is warm or cold. Does your dog pant most of the time? Or does the furry friend want to snuggle under the covers most of the time?

If your dog seems hot; this is YIN deficiency, conversly if your dog (or you) is cold, this is Yang deficiency (strictly dealing with the kidney system).

Here is a list of beneficial foods for both you and your dog for kidney yang. I will post kidney yin tomorrow. Keep in mind that dogs are meat eaters, so use this list with common sense for a dog. I want to post this list to benefit both you and your dog!

Special Basic Kidney Essense Diet For A Long Life


This is a PawHealer special diet that we developed ourselves. It all started when our oldest dog family member got very sick due to chronic renal disease from unknown origins. (I think it was from the bad pet food awhile back)

At the time Dr. Pink and I gave Orbit all the herbal formulas that we thought would work for his condition, but they didn't really begin to effectively help his illness until we actually provided food therapy in tandem with the herbal formulas.

Because the PawHealer family is quite large, a total of four dogs to our pack, all of the family is lucky enough to get the special foods that are cooked for Sweet Orbit. The PawHealer loves her dog family, but cooking individual meals for all the pack was NOT an option, therefore all four of the dog family receive Orbit's healing foods.

After four months of this continuous diet, not only is Orbit running around and playing with the puppies of the pack, who are Dr Pink Pinkerton, Daisy Girl, and The Bad Dog Chico Martini, but they all have a look of incredibly healthy dogs.

Each one of the dog's eyes are bright, muscles are sleek, coats are shiny, lots of energy, and not one of them has required any health services.

So what is this miracle food fare?

Dr. Pink and I base it on the concept of the "Law of Secondary Doctrine" which states that God has given us the knowledge how to heal, simply look at what surrounds us throughout nature, and chose those foods that resemble the structure that we find necessary to repair.

Orbit's Kidney's are compromised, and the Kidneys are the source of the bodies essence. There fore, by feeding Orbit foods that provided essence, we would also be healing the source of his illness which are his Kidneys.

Before I go on to list the foods, it is important to understand that by feeding any pet this diet, you are providing the dog or cat with vital essence, or another word is longevity. Essence is the spirit of vitality. So don't look at this list of food as food for only a sick pet, it is actually a food list that heals a sick pet and foods that can prevent our pets from becoming sick...the key words...Essence and Vitality.

Because we are working on Orbit's Kidney function, we are directed to foods that actually have the shape of a Kidney.....and when you're working at shoring up the Kidney system you are actually infusing the pet with "Essence". Therefore it makes sense that feeding even healthy pets this menu, it will provide them with stores of Essence which they may draw upon for a long life as well as help them to successfully fight disease.

Here is a basic list of foods that Dr. Pink Pinkerton and I use to heal Orbit as well as to feed the healthy family.

Meat: Kidneys, Livers with all the blood...yum! Pork which is neutral temperature meat and soft shell Turtle meat...wowser, dog and cat heaven! Don't forget the occasional fish of some sort.

If you have access to a Chinese market, buy the Black Chicken...which very strongly nourishes blood. I alternate these rich meats with cooking white chicken or pork. (bones gizzards and all)

Soup bones...if your dog cannot chew bones, then cook them into the broth. Bones are apart of the system of the Kidneys and provides the body with strong essence. I use whole chickens and cook them up...yes bones and all, for hours, and mix it into their other food. It makes a nice soft mixture and they love me for that!

Lunch and Dinner time are a big event at the PawHealer family home.

I use the meat as the base and I add to the mixture and cook all together to make a gruel like mixture. I do not put everything on this list at one time, I mix and match depending on what I feel like cooking. Every meal is different, but it has the basic structure, items that have the same shape and color as the Kidneys.

Kidney Beans or Black Beans (again the shape of a Kidney as well as the colors that are the same as the Kidney). If your pet has internal heat, Mung Bean is a great item to add.

Yams or Sweet Potatoes which nourish Yin (fluids)

Extras;
Black Sesame Seeds a vital source of Calcium and a great super food.
Walnuts are wonderful for essence (they have the shape of a Kidney and looks like the Brain!)
Roasted Almonds
Red Dates
Lotus Seeds
Chestnuts

Black rice or the darkest Brown Rice. (not if your dog is not on a grain free diet)

Any vegetable that I find which is on sale at the time...they love carrots!

I also add a tad of Flax Seed Oil for good measure....every few days.

How much do I feed each of them? The answer is I eyeball the servings and I watch their weight. If I feel that they are getting to thick, I just cut back the serving. If I feel that they seem a little too hungry, I increase the serving.

However there is a single thought that I keep in mind; I do not want an overweight dog. Once a pet adds unnecessary weight, then there will follow unnecessary illness.

How do we cook this conglomeration?

We throw everything into a crock pot or a giant stock pot, and let it cook for hours until it all blends together to make a nice hearty meal. I would say that the meat portion is about 20-25% of the serving, and I fill the rest of them up with the Yams or Sweet Potatoes and beans.

This is our first diet post..finally! There will be more to follow since food is the most powerful medicinal of all!
