The purpose of this newsletter is to empower you to keep your animals healthy - and yourselves healthy, too. These approaches will also help our planet.
This is the July newsletter sent belatedly in September.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO HEAR ABOUT?
I would love to print letters that you would like to share with other holistically oriented animal partners. Send what has worked for you, what you have done that did not work as well, and wonderful stories about your animal family.
If you have any specific comments or wish to consult with me - email at HealthyAnimals@aol.com

2. HOLISTIC PERSPECTIVES -
Preventing future health issues by using the early warning signs
Those of you newer to the holistic paradigm may need to read this several times over the next year to really grasp the challenge and joy of committing to great health for a long lifetime.
There are two basic ways of looking at health issues. One is that something out there causes our health problems. The other is that something out there triggers the vibrational matrix to create symptoms in susceptible individuals.
The current model, well advertised on the media and communicated by many health professionals is that something out there causes us pain, infection, inflammation, etc. The goal, then is to stop the body's reaction to that trigger and use any means possible to eradicate the trigger.
If an animal has flea allergies the conventional approach is to stop the redness and itchiness with ANTIhistamines or ANTIinflammatories (like steroids); bathe to clean off the current crop of fleas; use a pesticide (like Frontline) monthly for life to kill any new fleas; treat the house and yard monthly to kill any flea larvae and adults that are hatching; deal with any negative side effects of all the chemicals.
The holistic approach says that healthy dogs and cats just do not get fleas, or no more that an occasional hitch hiker. If they do get bit, they do not have allergic reactions. The presence of fleas is a wonderful clue that the animal may be less than healthy. Even healthy dogs and cats can certainly become infested if put in a house (often a beach rental) that has flea cocoons just waiting to hatch, or even adults fleas left from the last occupant.
The holistic approach says that all symptoms, even mild ones, are clues of lower health. Many of you have asked your veterinarian why there is crud in the corner of the eyes or hairball vomiting. With merely my conventional training I saw these as not important, or needing an ANTI - maybe an ANTIbiotic ointment for the eyes or ANTI-vomiting hairball gel for life.
Now I know that these minor symptoms actually are indications of the vibrational matrix/chi/pranna/vital force being out of balance. They indicate something is not right in this animal's life - diet, toxins, exercise, emotional environment, etc. The following is a list of these symptoms compiled by many homeopathic veterinarians and guardians over the years. We are always looking for more of these symptoms that resolve after treatments.
The complete list of the Early Warning Signs of Internal Imbalance can be found at
http://christinachambreau.com/learn-more/7-keys-to-healthy-animals.
As you read through the list, record on each master symptom list any that are present now or in the past for each of your animals. Do this while sitting near each animal so you can look, feel, smell and palpate. If you have more than one animal, you can compare the color of gums, or the lymph nodes.
The red line on the gum, or the "crud" in the corner of the eye can be observed, whereas you need to remember that Susie vomits hairballs 2-3 times a month.
After you record each symptom, think about for a minute. Is the crud in the corner of the eye only seen in the spring, or after you have been stressed? Do you see your cat drinking water (healthy cats rarely to never drink water) only after you give certain treats or foods, or all the time? If there is a clear cause (and you may need to experiment to tell this), then you may need do nothing more to prevent illness.
If there is no obvious reason, you need to start improving health right now, not waiting for real "illness" to appear. Because you now know that the real cause of most symptoms is an imbalance in the vibrational template, your goal is to generally build health. If your cat is licking the floor or photos, you will not be looking for a specific holistic treatment to stop the licking. You will be asking (maybe through dowsing, intuitive, reading, prayer, research) what is needed to build health. Is it improving diet, adding supplements, daily Reiki or Quantum touch, Flower essences, etc.
Routinely (even daily) tracking all these "early warning signs" and working to eliminate them is the very best way to prevent illness in any species (even us people).
3. News
Many people are worried about the Circovirus. University veterinarians remind us that is has been identified in only 10 dogs who died between 2003 and 2013, it might even require a co-infection (of another virus). Even Ohio state veterinarian Tony Forshey cautioned against premature worry.
Using the Early Warning Signs as discussed above is your best chance to avoid any of the "new" illnesses that appear.

Einstein:
"The (energy) field is the sole governing agency of the particle." That is, the atom and all its components are determined by the energetic, non-physical influences that come from the quantum vacuum - a dimension that physicists say is outside the time-space continuum.
I am still meditating on this for a few months. Think about its application to the health of your family and our planet.
