I. Healing Stories - A Holistic Actions member shared that she purrs at her cats which seems to calm them. She had one with a terrible appetite and
purring at him nearly always got him, and that seems to work as well. And if your cat does not purr enough for you, there is an online source of purrs – that can help heal you and animals. Psychology Today reports on the benefit of humming – “stimulates the vagus nerve, activating the parasympathetic nervous system (rest-and-digest response) to lower stress, heart
rate, and blood pressure, while boosting mood-enhancing chemicals and increasing heart rate variability (HRV).”
- An outgoing, smart Bengal cat had suffered from chronic coughing and asthma-like symptoms since kittenhood and experienced a severe respiratory crisis following routine vaccinations at age 5 that required emergency oxygen therapy. Conventional treatment provided only temporary relief and caused side effects, leading her guardian to seek homeopathic care. A detailed and
individualized history pointed to one remedy, which was given along with the gradual withdrawal of conventional medications as her respiratory signs and energy steadily improved. She remained free of asthma symptoms for the rest of her life, living to 18, even with the stress of her loving owner going into a nursing home, so she lived alone for 1 month (fed by neighbor), then moved to a house with dogs and cats.
II. Health Tips &
Knowledge - Julia and Paul Child had a cat when they lived in France named Minette, who spent a great deal of time playing with a brussels sprout tied to a string! No need to buy expensive toys, though I’ve never heard of using vegetables!
- Winter trips with your dog, especially new puppies, can end up with car sickness from nausea or anxiety. Many know about the wrist points for people for sea sickness, and these often help dogs as well. From Acu-Dog by Zidonas and Snow (good book with pictures to own) says Pericardium 6 (Pe6) can help. It is on the back of the front leg above the wrist. This is the main point used by people for sea sickness. Pe7 is in the same area and helps with anxiety. Heart 7 is a bit more to the side in the same area and is also good for anxiety. You can rub these points at home when there is no
stress, then have someone rub the points for a very short car ride, then longer ones. Several companies make wrist bands for people and animals that press on these spots. One that seems good also has a blog about acupressure help for carsickness. If anxiety seems to be the trigger, Standard Process has Calming Comfort Pro which
is good for any dogs and cats who are nervous or anxious about anything. To set up an account so you can order Standard Process supplements for yourself and your animals, click here: my.standardprocess.com/Patient-Direct/patient-registration Then put 77TBVR in the box “Health Care Professional’s Patient Direct Code”, then fill out the form. In a day or 2 I will be able to approve you and you can order for a year, then I have to re-approve you.
- New for me is that cats have whiskers (vibrissae) on the back of their front legs. These help know how their
captured prey is moving, improve coordination, note changes in air pressure and temperature. Manatees also have these nerve-rich organs of sense. The ones on the face help determine if their body will fit through a certain space. They are called vibrissae because they are connected to muscles and nerves and communicate by vibrating. Be careful, then, when grooming or de-matting the backs of their wrists, not to remove these long hair-like structures.
- House training dogs
- Marilyn Mele is a long-time gentle trainer I respect and she has a guide on housetraining. Managing space, managing time, managing activity. You get that learning anything new is a process. And to accomplish your purpose, you have to participate. You have to do the work and have the fun. And not be a bystander just taking up space.
There's no secret code. Or magic wand. Or genie in a bottle.
- From 101 Dog Tricks by Kyra Sundance, you can, with patience, teach your dog to dance with you. More practically, she teaches how to ask to Drop It, and Give It, which could save something precious of yours or keep your dog from being hurt. There are now many YouTubes, blogs, and
podcasts demonstrating tricks for dogs. As with all of life, there is no one right way. Most important is to always find what is fun for you and your dog. Personally, I have loved several of the, America’s Got Talent dog acts because of the clear love present.
- All you need are cardboard boxes for great fun with your cats-watch
here.
- Food, fresh food, ingredients that help the planet – you want to but: Are scared you will not do it right. Have no time. Cat does not want it. Costs too much for big dog. Take lesson two in the free 101 health class at HA. If you need more coaching, schedule an appointment with me.

IV. Good News – Organizations for Health and Sustainability - Eddy’s Dogs is one of the many examples of one individual, Eddy Alvarez, making a big difference. Retired, he feeds as many dogs as he can afford every day in an area between Miami and the Everglades
called Dead Dog Alley because of how many get hit. He also vaccinates, deworms, treats and mostly loves these dogs, finding homes for many of them. Help by donating to this 501C3. Read more here.
- My daughter’s Judge invited her to a dinner highlighting the Civilian Military Community Relations Council. The Judge has made meals to be distributed when needed and helped raise money for Scholarships. Back in 1953, as bases were being retooled, the beginnings of this group
managed to get equipment sorely needed by the Cocoa community. CivMil Foundation was officially started in 1999 to raise money for military personnel and civilians.
