‘Something I often tell a new client is, “Just because it’s a good product does not mean it is good for your animal friend”. I also usually recommend that they discontinue all these products as I have more success with diet and energy healing if the animal is not on drugs, herbs or supplements. As I will point out to the client, “If these products were helping, you would not be contacting me for my services, and if these products are not helping, they may be causing more problems.”
In general people believe that if it’s a supplement or herb, it may help and for sure it can’t hurt. This is not true. In order for these products to be beneficial, they have to be the right fit for your animal”s health issue and overall constitution. Most people are not trained or not trained well enough to do an accurate job in recommending these products. Last week I read in the Omni Diet by Tana Amen the very thing I try to explain to clients: Supplements are powerful. Compared with prescription drugs and many over-the-counter drugs, supplements have far fewer worrisome side affects. However, supplements are powerful, and some have the potential to cause problems. For example, St. John’s Wort, which many women take for depression can alter the effectiveness of birth control pills. Don’t assume that because something is natural, it’s guaranteed to be safe. Afterall, arsenic and cyanide are natural substances that are both poisonous. Read labels carefully and don’t be fooled by marketing. Quality varies and advertisements can be misleading
