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!

Shadow The Miracle Rescue Dog

This is Shadow when Rhonda the wonder dog mom rescued the poor little guy. Can you see how naked he is without his fur?





This is Shadow after 6 months ;

How darned cut is this little guy anyway?


Here is another picture; he looks like royalty!



Shadow's dog mom (She is also the dog mom of Shaman) contacted the PawHealer team to get some help with respect to Shadow's cough; Here is her correspondence to Dr. Pink Pinkerton Herbalist Extraordinaries and myself.

From: Rhonda
Date: 2/26/2008 3:47:45 AM
To: PawHealer
Subject: update/Shadow


Hi Holly:

After conversation with you regarding possible lung disease and trachea collapse, I began to think that Shadow's increasing honking and choking over the past three days (and sneezing and head shaking) might be more than allergies. I took Shadow to the vet and we reviewed his records. He did have several x-rays and cat scan with the resultant diagnosis of collapsed trachea (radiologist indicated narrowing or trachea). So, I forgot about that. (I shouldn't have forgotten. The vet bill that time was over $1,000.) Anyway, the vet confirmed that Shadow had a respiratory infection and started him on antibiotics and I can continue the herbs. I make chicken soup and stewed chicken for meals for Shadow and Shaman, and I just let the herbs dilute in the chicken soup. Is that ok? I couldn't imagine how else I could get the herbs down him. He's only eating once a day (rather than twice) so he's getting herbs 1xdaily rather than 2xdaily. That's the best I can do now. By the way, I thought I would share this info: I asked the Dr if she could hear any rails/etc in Shadow's lungs. She told me she read a study that indicated the Doc can only hear stuff in lungs after 60% of progression of disease. She wasn't too happy about that latest info...so she said that even though she didn't hear crackles, etc., that didn't mean he didn't have a respiratory infection. Anyway, we now know that we have to keep a close eye on Shadow and when he starts to exhibit symptoms, he goes directly to the vet for diagnosis. Apparently, there is a correlation between collapsed trachea and lung (bronchitis or pneumonia or worse). So, I thank you for alerting me to the University of Florida study. (My vet was well aware of this connection.) The game plan is to see if the antibiotics help within the next week if so good. If not, we take the next diagnostic step.

Thank you for your help. I'll keep you posted.

Choose Peace,


Rhonda and Shadow (and Shadow's brother Shaman)


Dr. Pink and I sent Shadow two formulas. We have found that many of the dogs that have this lung problem usually have some skin issues. So Shadow got a PawHealer formula for relieving itch, which in the terms of Traditional Chinese Medicine is called "Wind". And of course Shadow also received our super doper Collapsed Trachea herbal cough formula.

There was a problem that she could not get Shadow to take the formulas, but I believe that the wonder dog mom, because she really works hard for her boys, is working through the issue. The PawHealer team believes that we actually have better results with the herbal formula which includes many herbs that fight infection, after all that's what causing the cough.

What's next for this super mom? She is working on feeding the best food she can to heal these dogs through the concept of Chinese food therapy.

The PawHealing team has promised her a blog about super foods that heal....so watch for it!

Shaman; How Can We Help You?



From: Rhonda
Date: 2/26/2008 7:51:41 AM
To: PawHealer

Maybe you can help me with Shaman's problems. Shaman is a 14 yr old Shih Tzu who had prednisone for one week and developed demodex (commonly called red mange, a follicular parasitic mite infestation. The original infection was horrific. Shaman can never take prednisone again. The original infestation cleared up mostly, however Shaman has had an infected toe for 1 1/2 years that is red and hot and sometimes oozy because he licks and licks. We go to the dermatologist constantly and she has prescribed a zillion different antibiotics (when she cultures bacteria its a sure sign he has become resistant to that type of antibiotic.) Anyway, the monthly cultures indicate maybe one or two mites...they are insanely itchy so he is at his paw all the time. This causes other problems with the toe.... in fact, not that either one of us likes this, Shaman now takes interceptor (poison) every other day because the mites never really completely clear up. So, this means to me that his immune system is compromised. Shaman also has a horrible bony growth getting larger and larger emanating from his right front paw dew claw. He's constantly licking this paw also. He licks both raw and bloody....And from all the licking (?) he seems to have crusty, scabby stuff around his mouth. This does not heal up. We've tried a zillion different medications. Nothing is really working. I'm not opting for surgery for the dew claw problem because of his age and the dangers of anesthesia. Any ideas? Need any more info?


Okay, so what we have here is some definite Damp Heat heat at the skin level along with Blood level Heat.

Damp Heat skin related problems are associated with dermatitis, eczema, skin rashes, itching, ear itching, and hot spots.

Clinical Signs include skin eruptions, erosions, redness, thick/yellow smelly secretions, itching, scab formations as well as possible hair loss.

Clearly we can see from Rhona's description that Shaman has Damp Heat. The PawHealer team instructed Rhonda to review Shaman's diet....and she did admit that this little scamp shares her food!

Oh no said the PawHealer team!

This is such a hard thing for pet owners, especially when the pet is in "The Golden Years"...we want them to be happy.

But...none the less the following is critical for recovery;

Food Therapy; Which is so very important. Dr. Steve Marsden, a well known holistic DVM states that when a pet is subjected to Damp Heat which is the root cause of the skin condition, in most instances, will be related to a diet that has been rich in grains. It's his suggestion that the pet be immediately taken off the grains because they that are toxic to the pet's digestion.

Lets move on the the Mange part of the skin problems. Mange is a autoimmune-mediated disease. In other words, Shaman has a weak immune system, and as a consequence, those little mites, which are part of the disease, dig into his skin, then causing that constant intense itch.

Chinese medicine would say that Shaman's Wei Qi is very weak, along with the fact that he has a condition of Blood Heat. The conditions that are associated with Blood Level Heat are lupus (DLE), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), pemphigus folicaceus, and other autoimmune-mediated diseases.

Symptoms that are associated with Blood Heat are depigmentation, crusting, erythema, ulceration of the skin and erosions.

We are going to make a special formula for Shaman that will Clear Blood level Heat, clear Damp Heat at the skin level, and transform internal middle Jiao Dampness.

We are also thinking about putting something into the formula to tonify the Wei Qi.

Dr. Pink Pinkerton and I will also be posting a menu for Rhonda and Shaman!

Good luck Shaman you handsome fellow.

Thank You From Baby Dixie


This morning.. Pink Pinkerton and I opened up our customer mail to find this from Dixie and her mom posted on the blog...Dixie Baby Hanging In There .

There is an amazing difference in the way Dixie looks. Her eyes look so much better(not sick and weak). SHE'S EATING AND DRINKING WATER. SHE IS ABLE TO WALK AROUND AND PLAY FOR TWO OR THREE HOURS AT A TIME . I'M NOT SAYING SHE'S IS OVER THIS THING. BUT THE WORD FOR ME RIGHT NOW IS AMAZING. I'LL KEEP YOU UPDATED . THANKS AGAIN . TERESA AND DIXIE



It's a very nice thank you...we are still thinking about her today...because she is seriously sick. But we truly appreciate the picture. We sent off an e-mail asking her to keep us up to date.

Her name before Dixie was Holly, which is my name (The PawHealer)....I hope it is some sort of fate and that this sweet girl is going to be okay.

I found out last night during my clinic shift that the treatment we sent her was considered to be an advanced use of the formula xue fu zhu yu tang. I have given it to Dixie to help her move the massive phlegm out of her chest. Normally this formula is used for heart related issues.

My professor was quite surprised that I used this formula for this type of illness, because he said its not been written about here in the U.S, and he has only seen it in Chinese literature.

We feel very proud that we did something special for Dixie.....


 Pink Pinkerton and I are going to keep thinking about Dixie today.....Bless You Dixie...be strong.

Dixie Baby...13 Weeks Old and Hanging On

Dr. Pink and I have met many new dog moms this past week and we're going to get their stories up on the blog, but we especially wanted to post about Dixie who is a 13 week old Bull Dog.

What a sad story this one is.

Teresa called the team yesterday, and told us what has been happening with her Dixie. Right now the little sweet dog is in pretty bad shape.

Dixie has been diagnosed with a Collapsed Trachea....Awwww, a Bull Dog I said?

Before the conversation went any further, I asked her if Dixie had become ill shortly after receiving her vaccinations, and of the course the answer was yes.

Dixie had started coughing exactly two short days after receiving her vaccines, and has been getting worse since the whole thing started.

Dr. Pink and I are incredulous about this stuff.....How come no one else is not noticing this stuff? How many dogs have to get sick after these shots until someone starts to notice?

First of all Bull Dogs don't get Collapsed Tracheas....

Here is the scoop on this case;

The Vet has told the fur baby's mom Teresa that Dixie might have a deformed trachea, but they can't confirm it..huh?

The Vet now tell Teresa that Dixie really has no options, they are wanting to charge $4100 to do a tracheal wash, and then they are saying, that Dixie probably can't make it through the procedure because she has pneumonia.

They are saying that they need to do a culture in order to find an antibiotic that can work against this infection, but by the time she were to go through the procedure and the time to take to get the culture to grow, which it may not, because of the antibiotics she has already taken, Dixie will have died.

What a cluster F---, me and Dr. Pink Pinkerton have been so upset about this story.

So what did we do to help Dixie?

Dr. Pink and I put together our Collapsed Trachea formula which is a formula that is also specified for acute pneumonia. We layered the formula with a great formula from our supplier that is an herbal antibiotic that consists of about 20 different herbs that are known to have an anti viral and anti bacterial effect.

We also added a second formula based on xue fu zhu yu tang and added dan shen. This is to move blood in the upper burner due to blood stasis. We are using this formula to help move the blood so that Dixie can breath easier as well as break up congestion through out the area of the chest.

This formula was also recommended by Dr.Steve Marsden DMV for Kennal Cough.


Our hopes is that we get some good results, if we get any thing positive back, we would like to add one more formula. Hopefully it is not too late and her lungs are not too filled with fluid that we can't do anything for the sweet baby pooch.

Dr. Pink Pinkerton and I are going to think of Dixie all day today....bless her heart

Oscars Collapsed Trachea BETTER! and a THANK YOU


Dr. Pink Pinkerton and I received a nice surprise in the mail the other night.

It was a thank you note for a dog mom that was returning some herbs to us that I had accidentally sent to her for another customer. She was nice enough to return them to me.

Some people are very funny, they won't don't want to talk to us about their dog. They just want to order their herbs on line and be done.

In this case Yvonne gave Dr. Pink Pinkerton and myself received a call about two weeks ago. All Yvvonne wanted to know was if it was "normal" for her dog to have the sound in his chest as if the phlegm was breaking up, because it was really really breaking up.

First, I really don't have the answer to that because every case we have worked with is very different. So I told her that I really had not heard of that reaction, but did she believed, based on what she was telling me that it seemed as if the phlegm was breaking up in a way that Oscar seemed better?

Well she said, he did seem more comfortable and he was now able to sleep. You see Oscar had just had the stint implanted, and yet he still continue to violently cough and that's why Yvonne was turning to the PawHealer team.

Well of course Dr. Pink Pinkerton and myself were a little worried after that phone call. We had no idea if Oscar was benefiting from theherbs and we couldn't call her, because you could tell from Yvonne's voice that she really did not want to have to discuss anything with the team, so we did not feel calling her back was an option to learn Oscar's fate.

Two weeks pass, and Dr. Pink and I from time to time wonder how Yvonne's Oscar is doing.....and then we received this very nice welcome note from Oscar's dog mom.

These are things that make the team feel really great!

Doris D. and Her Half Wolf Bear


Dr. Pink and I received a call from Doris about 4 weeks ago. Doris is from Arkansas and she was calling the PawHealer team to see if we could help with her 12 year old Bear.

Bear is a Chow mixed with a Wolf, he weighs 80lbs and sadly, according to Doris, Bear was loosing all the use of his hind quarters.

Doris told us that Bear had been diagnosed with Arthritis of the hips and the right leg. However the symptoms that Doris was conveying to Dr. Pink Pinkerton (herbalist extraordinaries) and me (The PawHealer) sounded more along the line of some sort of paralysis. See Doris told us that Bear was actually dragging himself around and he was not able to lift up his hind quarters.

Here is Bears medical history;

Male Wolf/Chow 80lbs
Bad breath
Takes medicine for seizures because he had distemper as a puppy and almost died
No problems with bladder control, does have some bad teeth
Does not seem to run hot, he does bark a lot (he watches over Doris)

The team did not have much to go on as you can see, so we clung to the idea that Bear had some sort of internal deficient heat. We based this on the fact that he had bad breath (heat causes the breath to become sour) as well as bad teeth problems. The other clue of course was the weakness of the hind quarters.

Dr Pink and I did not see it as Bi Syndrome (Arthritis) because it sounded as if Bear was loosing sensation of his limbs, and the way the Doris described Bear's situation was that of being flaccid, as if he had lost control of his limbs, not as if he was any pain.

Based on the hind quarter weakness and based on the past medical history of Distemper, Dr. Pink Pinkerton and myself believed that Bear was suffering from Liver-Kidney Yin deficiency.

We prescribed to Bear a famous Kidney Yin tonic called Zhi Bai Di Huang Wan to clear deficiency heat (causing weakness of lower back and hind quarters) and we also included Si Miao San for the heat in Bear's stomach causing the bad breath, and we sent it out to Doris while keeping our toes and fingers crossed hoping that it worked for her wonderful and trusted friend Bear.


7 Days later;

We received a call from Doris....Bear had actually gotten worse and he couldn't get up at all. Doris was distraught and was looking into buying a cart for Bear. She just couldn't put Bear down because besides not being able to stand, Bear was doing fine. He was hungry, he was thirsty and continued to do his watch dog duties.

Dr. Pink and I instructed Doris to DOUBLE the dosage of herbs, and not give up. After we hung up, we felt terrible for Doris and Bear....we thought our herbs had failed to help Doris out.

7 Days later after the last phone call;

We were checking messages and we had a message from Doris. We dreaded what we maybe were going to hear, I thought Bear must be worse or dead...When we got Doris on the phone, we were shocked with what she told us.

Bear was actually walking....up to that point Doris was helping Bear walk with a sling. Because it was a beautiful and warm day, she left Bear out to enjoy the morning. When she came back to bring him in the house, incredibly Bear was walking around the parameter of her house and had actually climbed a small hill!

Doris was calling the PawHealer team to order more herbs for Bear because he was doing so much better!

How exciting and exhilarating for the PawHealer team.

This time around we filled decided that we wanted to tonify Kidney Essence with the very famous formula You Gui Wan. We also modified the formula with some herbs that will provide pain relief as well as to continue to nourish the Kidneys.

Dr. Pink Pinkerton and I think of Doris everyday. Bless her heart for helping her dog friend Bear through such a difficult time. Many people would of just given up hope...

We feel honored that Doris D trusted the PawHealing team to help her with the wonderful Bear.
