I was at my wit’s end with my dog’s skin allergies and itching when a friend told me about Dr. Deva Khalsa. I’d forgotten that I’d read her article on the dangers of Apoquel in Dog’s Naturally magazine some years before.
Because of all that great information,
thankfully, I’d never used that drug with my dog.
But I’d done just about everything else... I’d sent in fur and saliva and done every on-line allergy test, along with all kinds of yeast treatments, remedies, herbs and a myriad of shampoos.
My kitchen countertop was covered with stuff for Minnie, but I never got ahead. I was at my vet’s office at least every other month for her ear infections which always seemed to return and she’d sometimes get oral antibiotics. I read everything I could on the web and ordered lots of stuff that was supposed to make a difference but didn’t make a
dent.
Dr. Khalsa's office sent me things to read before I even talked to her for my consultation by phone and these articles gave me the best understanding I’d ever had for what was going on. I realized that Minnie also had a yeast [called Malassezia] and learned how it worked along with the allergies
to make everything even worse.
When I talked to Dr. Khalsa she explained ALL that was going on and how this problem had begun in Minnie and what had to be done to get rid of it.
In other words, ‘To cure it!’
In all my research and reading, I’d never understood that allergies in dogs and cats [whether they cause skin problems or diarrhea], can be cured. I thought I had to spend our lives avoiding things!
Dr. Khalsa explained how the immune system was like a computer that logged in and remembered ‘enemies’ and how allergies are the result of a confused immune system that thinks foods or things in the environment are ‘enemies’ and that it simply needed to be reprogrammed to be normal again.
When Dr. Khalsa tested Minnie for allergies she found that she was allergic to wool [no-other test ever even checked for that and I had two small wool area rugs that Minnie loved to sleep on] and to cat dander [I have 3 cats]. Of course, Minnie was also allergic to a bunch of foods and outdoor allergens. Dr. Khalsa tested thousands
of things on Minnie and created a treatment kit designed exactly for her. I did the program at home and Minnie truly looked forward to her treatments twice a day. Right in my own home, I was ‘reprogramming’ her immune system back to normal. The improvement was noticeable after just one week.
At
the end of the program, which took about 6 weeks, Minnie was not allergic or sensitive or intolerant to any of them anymore. I put my two small wool area rugs back on the floor and watched happily as my cats snuggled in with Minnie. I now feed her anything I want and Dr. Khalsa and I designed together the perfect diet for her that fits my lifestyle.
As part of the consultation the doctor went over all of the toxic products I was using with Minnie thinking I was being a good Mom. Minnie’s routine is natural now and she glows with health. I’ve saved so much money by not buying all this stuff online for her itching and by not getting vaccines she does not need and drugs that never fix but suppress the problems.
I consult with Dr. Khalsa whenever I have a problem with Minnie now and she quickly puts Minnie right on the road to health. I call her my GPS system, and her advice is always spot-on. After getting her book Dr. Khalsa’s Natural Dog, I often look in the Quick Fix section is there is a little problem I want to handle all by myself.
My life and, importantly, Minnie’s life have been totally changed and we both enjoy every day a heck of a lot more!
Aria and Minnie
