Natural Antibiotics

garlic has natural antibiotic propertiesAs stated briefly, bee propolis is a natural antibiotic, antifungal, antibacterial and antiviral.

In the past, I would also use a product like garlic juice. Since garlic juice is a little bit expensive, I used this product only when I need to. I used bee propolis in my cat's food when he had the broken leg and I applied some garlic juice topically. I put some of the garlic juice right over my cat's cut, where the stitches were, because garlic is absorbed through the skin. Thus, the garlic juice became a topical natural antibiotic.

During World War 1 though, the doctors and nurses used to stick raw garlic cloves into the wounds of soldiers to prevent gangrene. The garlic has natural antibiotic and antiseptic properties.

Please remember that garlic, like all members of the onion family, is said to be toxic to pets. While garlic may be safe in lower doses, it is questionable in larger doses. As a result, I prefer to not use garlic internally and I only use garlic juice externally in a situations such as my cat's broken leg.

Chinese herbal stores often have some Chinese herbs in capsules that have a natural antibiotic action. Also, some health food stores have products similar to this.

Some people give the homeopathic remedy known as Traumeel because it stimulates the body's own natural healing ability which can then help fight infections.

While there are many other remedies to use, I personally use bee propolis the most. All I do is put a drop or two onto some meats chunk before feeding.

If you have a serious problem and want to use natural antibiotics, I would suggest contacting a holistic veterinarian to discover other natural antibiotics and how much to use.

Enjoying Your Method

2011-06-06

Thanks so much. I'm so enjoying making pet food via your method. It's just a breeze now and of course they are all happy. Especially the cats. The cats have always loved the raw diet though. It's night and day over feeding commercial food. I cannot think of one person that feeds commercial cat food that doesn't put up with the indifference that cats display. Having fed commercial for years, I can remember going through different types trying to find something that they wouldn't turn up their nose at. Now, I kid you not, you could get trampled feeding this crew.

My Australian Shepherd Has A Second Life – Thank You!

2008-12-16

Hello! I would like to first say Thank You for your information! My Australian Shepherd is 14 years young and was having problems walking up stairs and jumping up on the bed/couch. He was on the raw food diet for about 2 – 3 weeks when he started running up the stairs, jumping on the couch/bed. Because of his age and having such a hard time, I was preparing myself for his trip to Rainbow Bridge, feeling that it would be sooner rather than later. Now I feel the later is the best word. He is so happy, you can see it in his eyes when he is lying on the couch!! My dogs teeth have turned white! It is truly amazing! Again, Thank you!

The Results Have Been Amazing

2011-02-22

Thank you for this!!

I am a dog trainer and work for a dog grooming business. I have always known that a raw food diet is just plain common sense. I have convinced many pet owners to come over to the other side so to speak, and put their animal on a raw diet. The results have been amazing!!! Of course it has!

I went online to find a way to make your own raw pet food, and I was blessed to find your site. Many pet owners I deal with say they cannot afford the raw food offered on the market. You have put into print what I have been thinking and telling folks. But you have gone all the extra miles!!! Your book is extraordinary and genius!!! Believe me... common sense is genius when it come to understanding animals, their behavior, and their eating requirements. Common sense is rarely used these days in our society. Thank you for all your hard work. Your hard work just made my life and the lives of many pets easier. :) (grinning ear to ear and if I had a tail, it would be wagging viciously)
