Healing Episodes
The higher-quality nutrition, freshness of diet and formulation
of the Natural Raw Meat Diet and/or PHD enabled the animal's immune
system to throw off lingering chronic disease. (The inability to
remove disease completely, whether in a sub-clinical or chronic
form, is due predominantly to feeding marginally adequate grain-based
commercial pet foods.)
In a survey of data from people who are and have been feeding a
combination of the foods mentioned, 46% of the animals exhibited
a healing episode on the road to greater wellness.
A healing episode is a short-lived, mild appearance of symptoms
mimicking disease without the loss of vitality, mental clarity or
physical strength, in which the symptoms pass without medical intervention.
After their passage, the animals are more playful and stronger,
generally indicating greater wellness. The symptoms are an indication
that the body has been able to restabilize at a higher level of
wellness and in doing so is able to summon more vitality and push
chronic disease out of its system. In deep healing the body takes
a chronic disease and makes it acute.
Healing episodes appeared in dogs and cats as one or more sets
of symptoms in predominantly one of the following body systems:
Gastrointestinal, Skin or Behavioral.
- Gastrointestinal: periods of intermittent or continuous diarrhea,
8%; soft stools, 34%, with or without excessive gas.
- Skin: a period of scaling, dry or oily, with mild or moderate
shedding 12%; (more than one episode 9%) with or without varying
degrees of pruritis, indicative of deeper (allergic) disease.
- Behavioral: a period of hyperactivity, general unsettledness,
mild aggressiveness, with a mild or moderate lack of owner responsiveness
and clarity of learned behavior, 2%.
The healing episodes ended with an emergence of higher-quality
life functions. This occurred in the three areas mentioned, and
was expressed as overall enhanced vitality not seen previously by
the owners. The waiting during the healing episode, without medical
intervention, was well worth it. It showed an unmistakable indication
of the power of health remaining in our companion animal population
if they are given the right food and an opportunity to heal themselves
naturally.
