Always look for a
professional veterinarian that has experience in alternative healing
for animals. If given incorrectly some cures cando more harm than
good.
Nutrition is a good
place to start with keeping your cat healthy. Cats have very different
nutritional needs than dogs. They need higher amounts of protein
and fats than dogs. A cat (unlike a dog) should never be subjected
to a vegetarian diet. Being natural carnivores, they crave meat.
If your belief system is opposed to meat, please consider a different
pet.
Nutrition will make your cat stronger and better
able to fight off illness, but should you need more support, alternative
healing offers a variety of ways to heal your cats system. Nutrition
is the basis of naturopathy which is defined as "drugless system
of therapy" and emphasizes supporting the body's physical attempts
to eliminate disease. Naturopaths believe that a major cause of
disease is an excessive buildup of toxic materials which clog the
eliminatory system.
Cleaning the body of toxins that build
up due to improper diet or lack of exercise is central to alternative
healing. Combining naturopathy with natural holistic, nutrition
and dietary supplementation is very effective to support wellness.

A Matter of Balance
A holistic cat is one who is in a state of balance:
physical, emotional, and environmental. Holistic healing is based
on health and healing of the "whole" patient by focusing
on physical and emotional balance and a lifestyle that supports
wellness. This approach encompasses many forms of older, but effective
forms of healing used alone, or with Western medicine. It is sometimes
referred to as Alternative, Natural or Complementary Medicine. Many
people seek alternative healing to avoid invasiveness, side effects,
or poor results often seen when using Western medicines. Many Alternative
Healing methods, such as Traditional Chinese medicine or Homeopathy,
are based on balancing the body's energy, or life force, a concept
yet to be defined in Western-based Modern Medicine.
There are different forms of alternative healing
for you and your cat, including acupuncture, homeopathy, flower
essences, herbs & tonics. When using alternative healing, you
need to be patient and observant. Patient because these methods
aim to cure on a deep level any imbalance in your cats immune system
instead of just covering symptoms. And observant as you note your
cats progress or lack of progress. Sometimes symptoms disappear
very slowly to the point that you forget they even existed. That's
a good thing. Also be aware that with alternative healing, the symptoms
may reoccur, although weaker. This is a good sign as it means your
cats immune system is fighting off the symptoms. So when symptoms
re-occur, it's easy to get discouraged, but if you're observant,
you start to see that your cat is actually healing.
Using Alternative
Treatments Successfully
It can take between three and six weeks
to start seeing changes in your cats well-being when using alternative
treatments and changing diet. During this time of cleaning and detoxing,
new cells are being replaced with newer healthier cells which bring
change to your cats overal well-being.
