To get an accurate test result, the blood needs to go to Dr Jean Dodds as per previous post. In the meantime, you can add Kelp and garlic to food, both help thyroid and are excellent supplements anyway.

First Bach one that comes to mind is Rock Rose for terror then Star of Bethlehem to release all that trauma and Walnut for change. Soul Support or Animal Rescue could well be indicated - they are Aalaskan. I'd certainly talk to an animal communicator, get her to talk to Kimi , find out exactly how she feels, reassure her etc, can be very helpful and makes it easier to pick right rems. www.talkinghorse.co.uk is excellent. You are spot on about RR, it's for emergencies and totally overused in wromng circumstances leading to a feeling that essences don't work - they do when we pick the right ones.

I don't know if you're aware of this, but our Government is doing their best to remove our right to choose alternative health care. At the moment, Herbs, Acupuncture and TCM are under threat. If they succeed, we won't be able to buy simple things like Evening Primrose Oil, Garlic capsules, etc and many other everyday items that many of you use for yourselves and your dogs, cats etc. Nor will we or our dogs be able to have acupuncture treatments. We have all of 5 days to let them know we're not happy - link to let your views be known at the end... Even if you choose not to use any of them, it's also about our right to choose if we wish to.... Here's the email I got this morning.... Major crack down on alternative medicine Herbal medicine, acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine could become a thing of the past. Yes, you read that right and it is not a joke. Whilst this particular matter may not bare direct reference to Codex, it is a brilliant example of how government bodies and powerful corporations can take away something valuable and integral to many peoples’ lives very quickly. In May 2008, the ‘Department of Health Steering Group on the Statutory Regulation of Practitioners of Acupuncture, Herbal Medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Other Traditional Medicine Systems Practised in the United Kingdom’ published its report. The report recommended the regulation of acupuncturists, medical herbalists and Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners. In response to the report, the Secretary of State for Health announced that a consultation would be held on the report’s recommendations. This was anticipated to commence in autumn 2008. However, now herbal medicine, acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) are under serious threat in the UK. Trade bodies believe these therapies could even cease to exist in Britain within a few years; practitioners could stop practicing and people may not be able to get some herbal pills, capsules, tinctures and ointments they use every day. How did this happen and where does this sudden fear come from? The last we all knew ‘traditional therapists’ were to be regulated in the interest of public safety. It seemed fair... But now the government seems to have made a sudden U-turn and is instead considering a ‘lighter touch’ licensing system. Red Light! – Licensing? This special licensing system will give no special legal rights to practitioners. As a result, medical herbalists will not have access to some regulated herbal medicines. They will instead only be allowed to work with simple tinctures, extracts and dried herbs. Medical doctors will also not be allowed to refer patients to them. This will have a significant and detrimental impact on traditional medicine: • The public will lose the choice of a wide range of high quality herbal remedies. • Traditional remedies from China and India will only be available through the Internet or backstreet suppliers – thus posing a serious health risk to the public. • The public will forever lose important professional expertise in ensuring standards for herbal medicine, including opportunities for integrative healthcare with mainstream health professionals. • A number of businesses that have specialised in manufacturing top quality herbal products for professional use only (e.g. MediHerb products) will cease business. The government has set up a very complex consultancy process regarding this issue, which frankly is so confusing that it almost appears as if they are trying to hinder the man on the street from getting involved and voicing an opinion. They are almost certainly bargaining on the fact that many of those affected by their planned ‘crack-down’ don’t speak English as a first language and will find this ‘consultancy’ very difficult to understand. The deadline to respond is 2 November 2009, so at least we still have time on our side, http://www.dh.gov.uk/en/Consultations/L ... /DH_103567 or you can access the questionairre directly at: http://www.info.doh.gov.uk/questionnair ... ultion.nsf

I'm so sorry He'll always be with you, just in a different way now. Tuesday was a busy day at the bridge, two of my good friends had their best pals go too, so my girls were busy greeting everyone and I'm sure they checked on Mal too..

We're all right here for you Billy and anything I or anyone else suggests is just that - a suggestion for you to use or toss as you feel fit, none of us know Mal as you do and believe me, when it's my dog refusing food I too have great diffiiculty remembering that they can quite easily survive for weeks without You will know what Mal needs and when he needs it, just go with your gut and remember that it's mal telling you that you're hearing. Reiki continues whether I get on here or not.

More Reiki...... Little and often is probably best, but do remember that sometimes they simply need to use their energy for healing and not processing food so if he doesn't want to eat for a few days, don't panic - they can go weeks without food as long as they drink. Worth trying a little honey touched on his lip if he stops eating for long, it's a complete food and can just kickstart them again - I did that with Cassie when she'd refused food for a few days, she wasn't impressed, but of course had to lick it off and then demanded a quarter jar! I believe that helped give us up to an extra week together.

Billy - I've just been reading my herbal book and apparently you make the tincture from the seeds - I didn't know that. It's the green herb I have, so not the right thing after all, sorry. Learnt something new. Perhaps best to see if you can order it from a herbalist? I was looking for Swedish Bitters the other week and came across this site. http://www.granaryherbs.co.uk/ Perhaps worth talking to her if you’re interested in herbs? I wonder if that would help Mal? Have a read about it and see what you feel. Aha! Found the site I wanted – this guy in Australia does herbs for dogs, I know someone who got stuff from him when her dog had cancer http://www.herbal-treatments.com/herbal_tr...s_for_dogs.html perhaps worth a chat? I would look into Apple Cider Vinegar and see if you feel that would help – if so, it’s not drastically expensive, but you do need it with the “mother†not the supermarket stuff. I have to get it online – about a tenner a litre and Millie gets a splash in her food. Found Chris Day - http://www.alternativevet.org/ and here’s the bit about video consults http://www.alternativevet.org/videolink.htm I know he also goes to other places every so often and a friend in North Wales saw him with her horse, so worth asking about that? As you’ll see, he uses many approaches. If you would like me to scan the info I have about various things that can help, pm me your email addy and I'll do that for you. Various herbs and essences are possibilities. I can help with crystal essences if you'd like them. Crab Apple is good for removing toxins, you'll get that in chemist/health food shop. Again, it has a 27% brandy content, so if you're concerned about that aspect, put the drops in boiling water, let alcohol evaporate and then add to his water or food or put on a treat OR essences can be rubbed in to the body - a few drops on your hands, top of head between ears is an excellent spot, but anywhere will do fine, he may guide you to somewhere else. Salmon oil I’d look into that. I’m not a fan of Cod Liver Oil after someone pointed out to me that the liver is of course where all the toxins are processed. Various sites that may help…. http://www.askariel.com/pages.asp?pid=liver http://www.dog-health-guide.org/canineliverdiseasediet.html http://www.healthyhappydogs.com/HealLiverDisease http://www.katberard.com/hea_immunesystem.htm http://www.katberard.com/hea_cancer.htm http://www.caninenaturalcures.co.uk/diet.htm http://www.dogaware.com/ http://thepetwhisperer.com/newsletter.html That is so lovely about his mum I have a friend who also did the James French course a few years ago and she too gets little flashes at times. I know someone who did it recently but haven't heard how she's doing since. As I understand it, practise, practise, practise is the way to get better. I do know I'm "getting" more nowadays but not always understanding quite what I'm getting.. I'll get there....

Hi again, I've checked and I do have Milk Thistle herb. If you'd like, I can either make Mal a Glycerin Tincture and send it or I could send the herb to you and you make it. It takes a couple of weeks to "brew", so go with either the tincture you have or the tablets for now. Millie is taking it in her food no problem, but she's only having a couple of drops at the mo. Anne, how lovely that you get the words at times. So far I mainly just get feelings and "knowing", only so far had a couple of spontaneous audible experiences. Billy, he knows almost exactly what's going through your mind, is very possibly reading it ;-) You have to go with your gut with all this - what you feel is what Mal is telling you. So, if someone suggests a specific remedy or medication and you're not happy about it, listen - that's Mal talking to you. When you feel you need to get something for him, listen and get it - again, he's telling you what he needs. Yes, it's scary flying by the seat of your pants when your dog is so sick, but that's the way to go for his sake. When Cassie was dying, I allowed a vet to talk me into meds when I knew PTS was what she needed - due to that her last 24 hours were a nightmare for her and also for me. My only excuse is that a) I didn't want to lose her and b) that I was so exhausted after 10 days without sleep that my brain had gone walkabout. Communication is fantastic - it can really help to know what they want and how they feel. If you're willing to consider it, Catherine Walker is great www.talkinghorse.co.uk Brilliant that he's having a good day, treasure it. I've been sending Reiki since I got Carole's earlier although I didn't have time to read and respond till now. Try to visualise him having a good day every day (even when he's not)

And here she is - Carole emailed for the first time in ages and sent me here, so here I am. Billy, I'm so sorry you're going through this, I'll send Mal all the Reiki he'd like and for you too if you'd like any. I didn't realise you're not keen on Homeopathy but if you're willing to consider it, and can find a good Homeopathic/Holistic Vet, they may well be able to help. I discovered recently that Chris Day who is probably the best Holistic Vet in UK will do a video consult if you're interested. Will see if I can find the link later. Milk thistle - the drops can be put in a little boiling water and the alcohol will evaporate off if you really don't want him to have it. The tincture I feel is purer and better as it's pure herb and alcohol. You may also be able to get it made with glycerine or I "might" still have some Milk Thistle herb and could make it for you if you want? I'll check in a while if I have any left. Due to my own problems with fillers etc in tablets I'm not keen on tablets nowadays. The liver can actually repair itself and Milk Thistle can help it do so. Obviously if there's a tumour, it's a little trickier. We are all healers, just that most of us don't recognise the fact. Carole, I believe that's what I said rather than that we can all do Reiki. Reiki is a specific frequency, there are many healing frequencies, just like radio stations or types of chocolate. Look at a mother with a youngster - what does she do when kid falls? She kisses it better and most of the time kid is better after a cuddle and a kiss. It took me till way after I'd been attuned to Reiki to realise I'd always been a healer. I guess I also needed the attunement to believe in myself. Billy, you certainly gave Mal healing the other night - he needed and you responded. Continue to do it, just cuddle him, love him, intend to help him in whatever way you can. The Margrit Coates book is great for a beginner to the idea of healing. Healing is love. Hang in there, you're doing just fine, you're the person Mal needs to go through this with him whatever the outcome. Sadly at some point he will have to move on to pastures new and when he does he will need your blessing. That is the hardest part about loving them. It took me a very long time to be able to let my Hannah go and I often look back and feel I "should" have done it sooner, but perhaps it was all at the right time after all. I did better with Cassie. I still miss both of them severely and am just coming up to the 7 year anniversary of Hannah going. She was and is my soulmate. Somehow I've kept going but until Hannah and I are together again, there will always be a big part of me missing. There's another part with Cassie too and I don't want to think about when Millie goes. So, yes, I too have a good idea how you're likely to be feeling. ((((hugs))))

aaawwww..........

On the way for Max. Homeopathic Arnica 30c, one tablet 3 times a day for a few days would help, hopefully just a bruise/sprain/strain. Great that Bluebell's brightening up, still sending....

Star of Bethlehem is for trauma, shock, grief etc. It is very often much more effective than Rescue Remedy, especially when the problem has been ongoing for some time. 'usual' dosage is 4 drop 4 times daily, can be given every few minutes if needed, put on a treat, in water, can be rubbed in skin. Very effective spot is top of head between ears. Walnut is for change. If Ange sends you the RR, you can use it too if you want, won't do any harm. It's normal sphere of action is for an emergency situation, ie at the time of an accident etc.

Loads of Reiki on the way to Bluebell. Bach Star of Bethlehem should help, also Walnut. Reiki on the way to all other requests too.

Lots of Reiki to all. Sproggie, hope it was peaceful for him, he'll be all better now. to you. Terri, there are natural treatments can help with cancer if Ella is interested - Homeopathy plus this lot and more that I'm not aware of I'm sure http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/acancer.htm http://www.canine-health-concern.org.uk/ http://theherbs.info/Pets/pets.html http://www.thefountainoflife.ws/ http://www.herbal-treatments.com.au/human_treatments.html Plenty Homeopaths about. Some 'hands - on' Reiki I'm sure would be good too. If she's in this area and wants, I can see if I can put her in touch with anyone near.

for Logic I thought I'd posted - Homeopathic Arnica would help too. Hope Keelah's improved.
