Many conflicting opinions…. there are MANY people telling you many things.

Vaccinate…or Not.

Feed this….or NOT.

Give this oh so safe drug….???

Marketing and Big Dollars
——————————-

The Pharmaceutical Industry is approaching a TRILLION DOLLAR industry worldwide – much bigger than the economies of several countries.

Meaning you can get influenced in MANY ways.

Via overt advertising… videos and stories of HAPPY people and pets because they are on a anti-inflammatory drug. These companies have HUGE advertising budgets. And they KNOW how to Influence people.

Big Pharma and Government policy. One of the HIGHEST paid team of lobbyists at Capitol Hill in Washington are lobbying on behalf of the Drug Industry. This literally influences and shapes Government policy.

Then via your health care provider- they can influenced by the drug ‘rep’ and how they are ‘educated’ on the pharmaceuticals. When I first started in Veterinary practice, I was treated to more than a few meals and beers by my oh so friendly drug representative… it’s then natural to prescribe their drug of choice.

Then there is the institutions that educate your Heath Care Providers – many receive funding from some of the Pharmaceutical Companies.

Our mindset – we now WANT instant results and gratification… and there is a pill for this.

All in all, can you see how you or your pet are likely to be on a variety of conventional medications?

So what can YOU do?
———————-

Be an INVOLVED Patient and Pet Owner.

ASK a TON of Questions.

About side effects

About Alternatives

About Safer Options or if the drug is even needed.

Take matters into your OWN hands…

… and PREVENT Disease in the first place.

Specifically with a supplement.

————————————
WHY is a Supplement Needed?
————————————

There are far too many sick and chronically ill pets – diabetes… liver disease… cancer… allergies… arthritis… autoimmune disease…

———————————–
HOW do I know?
———————————-

I see these sick pets on a DAILY basis. And unfortunately I am seeing some very ill pets at younger and younger ages.

Many experts have called it a ‘Pet Health Crisis’.

—————–
WHY?
—————–

There are MANY reasons, BUT the single most IMPORTANT cause is… POOR QUALITY NUTRITION.

ALL nutrition can NOT come in a bag (in spite of those glossy marketing brochures).

It’s NOT possible.

Would you eat the same processed/extruded/nutrient devoid/toxin filled food every day and then NOT expect to get sick?
