Guest guest Posted July 12, 2003 Report Share Posted July 12, 2003 Hi Pam, You might also consider giving your dog Metamucil too. Also plenty of water to help with the passage of the metamucil. Just sprinkle the metamucil over the food and make sure there is plenty of water either on the food or near. The metamucil will add much needed roughage to help making the bowel movements much easier for the dog. Also keep the anal area spotlessly cleansed and shaved if possible to keep fecal material from sticking to the anal area. Washing the area with a solution of water with some betadine will help to keep it from infecting. Total tonic will help as well. Do go easy with the cayenne!! It will help but as Skip mentioned their stomachs and digestive system is much different from ours. A warm sitz bath for the dog is a great idea too. Add in the epsom salts just make sure it is only warm and not hot before putting puppy in there. Check out the B.A.R.F. diet and make the move to get the dog onto it. Welcome to the group and we are looking to hear much from you. We all have much to share with knowledge and wisdom we each have gained over the years. Good luck with the new addition to your family.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2003 Report Share Posted July 12, 2003 Cayenne is a wonderful healer. Just dive into the files and see how much we all love it :-) I think you could make suppositories in a beeswax base for him/her. Tampon might tear the tender tissues and dry is just messy. Are you adding omega oils to her food? Janet - pam herbal remedies Friday, July 11, 2003 3:45 PM [herbal remedies] cayanne for crohns Hi, my name is Pam and I'm excited about this group. Natural health is my passion and I am adopting a dog that has Perianal Fistulas otherwise known as Crohns disease (in humans). Unfortunately little is known about the cause of this disease, however I have my theory and contrary to popular medicine I beleive I can drastically improve this dogs health if not cure it. My mom and I had a radical idea that I'm hoping to improve upon or at least match it in it's (what we think) it's effectivness could be. My mom is a user of cayanne pepper, she drinks the stuff, heels wounds etc. We will be feeding the dog a raw diet with cayanne pepper added to aid in the intestinal sores/fissures. Don't think I'm a strange new member but I know cayanne heels, I've seen wondrous fast heeling with it. Besides being impossible to administer on this 100# german shepherd dog I thought some type of enema w/ a cayanne tincture or salve deposited directly into the anus along w/ the feeding would have to heal the sores to some extent. I don't know why I feel embarrassed to ask your opinions on this direct delivery of the cayanne into the anus but regardless of my bizarre thought about this I am serious and am hoping another in this group could see my side and give some advice. I even went as far as thinking to soak a tampon ( i know, i know-haven't done it yet-just a thought) soaking it in the cayanne tincture while the tampon is in the plastic tube and inserting it into the dogs anus. My mom was brave enough (LOL) to put cayanne powder into her you know what and she said it didn't irritate much. So now that I have somewhat introduced myself, and feel really weird with this idea- is there anyone else that can see my point???If I'm not thrown out of here after this I'll feel much more comfortable with a more complete profile of myself. I do beleive I have alot to offer here. PamFederal Law requires that we warn you of the following: 1. Natural methods can sometimes backfire. 2.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2003 Report Share Posted July 12, 2003 All three types of omega oils are important and have vegetable sources. The word " essential " in describing these means that the body cannot produce them so they must be consumed in our diet. Essential fatty acids are either Omega-3 oils or Omega-6 oils. Sources of Omega-3 are cod liver oil, fish oils, flax oil, flaxseed or leafy green vegetables. Some nuts also contain Omega-3's (walnuts). Omega-6 sources are corn oil, wheat germ oil, soy oil, borage oil, evening primrose oil, blackcurrent oil plus many of the other grocery store bought cooking oils. Almost all processed foods are very high in Omega-6's. Essential fatty acids play critical roles in body structure and function, in fact life cannot be sustained without them. Some are transformed to regulating compounds called prostaglandins in the body and these prostaglandins along with essential fatty acids are responsible for supporting the critical body functions listed below: Nerve transmission Pressure regulation in the eye, joints and blood vessels Division of cells (growth and healing processes) Response to pain, swelling and inflammation Muscle reflexes Transporting of oxygen from cells to tissues Maintaining health of cell membranes Supporting immune response Providing energy to the heart muscle Omega 9 fatty acid, or Oleic acid, may sometimes be mistaken as an EFA, but it is not because humans can produce a limited amount. Oleic Acid is the primary Mono-unsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) found in olive oil. Oleic acid is associated with reduces atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), reduced insulin resistance and, thus, improved glucose (blood sugar) maintenance, improved immune system function, and for possible protective effects from some cancers. Numerous studies point to a modest beneficial effect of olive oil consumption on breast cancer risk. Janet - Pee Tee herbal remedies Saturday, July 12, 2003 8:15 AM Re: [herbal remedies] cayanne for crohns Thank you everyone. I'm holding steady on Janets idea with the beeswax suppositories. Just need to buy some beeswax now, but until than will start off slow with the cayanne mixed into the raw food and increase it. Looks like I need to get into the archives as you suggest and do some research that way. I use ground flax in the food but I know I need to switch to some fish oil instead except I am confused about the codliver oil verses Omega or fish oil. The codliver has the vitamin D(correct?) in it and I've read it's only recommended in cold times of year of climates. The others have the vitamin D which the sun provides as well and can be toxic during this time of year due to summer. So I will hit the archives and do some research and get this dogs diet ironed out!!
