I recently completed the credentialed course for stem cell therapy through Vet-Stem. I am excited to use this regenerative therapy for those animals that have the right indications, especially dogs with elbow and hip dysplasia. The nice thing about stem cell therapy is that the cells are collected from the same animal for which their use is intended. This is important because there are basically no side effects or fears of rejection.

Stem cells are precursor cells that have the potential to
develop into bone, cartilage, ligament, or organ tissue.

These cells when used therapeutically can be used for
osteoarthritis pain management. Studies have shown
that stem cell therapy improved arthritis associated with
elbow and hip dysplasia.

Additional diseases show promise for treatment using
stem cell therapy such as: auto-immune diseases, liver
disease, heart disease, kidney disease, and
neurological disorders.

To obtain your dogs stem cells, a surgical procedure is
performed that collects 1-2 tablespoons of fat. This fat
is then processed by Vet-Stem and returned within 48
hours for interarticular or intravenous injection.
Additional samples are frozen for future use.

I am very proud to be working with Dr. Dodds, DVM!

Happy New Years!

Hopefully everyone is having a great first day of 2010.

As my start to the new year, I am starting my detox from all the past year. I am doing a very simple detox, that really doesn’t affect my daily routine. In the morning I fill my “Klean Kantine” with water, then add a few drops from each tincture in my Heel Detox Kit. The kit contains Lymphomyosot which helps eliminate environmental toxins, Berberis-Homaccord which stimulates the kidneys, and Nux Vomica-Homaccord which regulates your gastrointestinal system. Then I sip the water throughout the day. Not too hard right? I can still eat normally and go about my daily life without feeling like my system in out of whack.

I really do believe in Heel products, I use them in my homotoxicology remedies for my patients, myself, my kids, and even safe enough to use when my twins were fresh out of the NICU. Homotoxicology is appealing because it does not interfere with any other medications, has very few side effects, and is easy to administer.

Typically the detox should be done for 30-90 days, so I will have enough supplied in my kit to last 2 people for 90 days inexpensively.

In a fast paced life, it is important to know your limits, and for me, this is the easiest way for me to get back on track without letting myself down. Simple, Short, and Sweet.

Wishing everyone a healthy new year!
