What are some natural remedies and diet tips for my cat’s kidney disease?

earthling asked:


My cat, 6 yrs old, could possibly have kidney failure (it might be a bladder infection but I won’t find out for another 2 weeks after antibiotics); he’s still energetic and doesn’t show any signs of illness. Ironically I have kidney disease as well and am using natural remedies like dandelion root tea and other herbs. Wheatgrass has also improved my health a lot. I am wondering these herbs would apply to cats as well?

Does anyone have any suggestions for diet (should it be homemade)? I’ve been doing research and they all say low salt, but some sites say good high quality protein while others say low protein. And should I stop using the chemical Frontline (flea medicine) on my cat?

Also, where on my cat are his kidneys located?

Thanks!

All-Natural Remedy For Adult Acne: The Acid Proof Method

Monday, September 15th, 2008

Kyle Richey asked:


Are you looking for a simple, natural remedy for adult acne? If so, look no further! There are many great natural ways to treat acne, and this article will cover some of the best. First, here are some benefits of choosing an all-natural remedy for adult acne as opposed to a prescription:

Benefit #1: Natural remedies are typically much cheaper than their prescription-counterparts.

Benefit #2: Natural remedies rarely have harmful, annoying or uncomfortable side effects.

Benefit #3: Natural remedies provide many indirect health benefits when used properly.

Now, let’s get started. The first remedy you should know about is a very simple one. It’s called Green Tea. It has risen in popularity quite a bit in the last few years, and with good reason! Green Tea has many health benefits, including helping with: high cholesterol, infections, viruses, high blood sugar, headaches, joint discomfort and of course…acne. Green Tea contains an antioxidant known as EGCG that protects cells much better than normal vitamins such as Vitamin C and Vitamin E.

The second natural remedy for adult acne that should be on your list is water. Sounds too simple, but it honestly helps quite a bit to remove the toxins from your body as often as possible. When wastes and sugars build up in your digestive system, Candida, the number one cause of acne bacteria, thrives. By drinking more water, you flush these harmful wastes from your system, thus preventing future breakouts.

The third natural acne remedy is herbal treatments. Many people swear by herbal remedies as effective treatments for most anything, and there isn’t much evidence that suggests otherwise. Common herbal remedies for adult acne include red clover, black cohosh, primrose and wild yarn. Also, Vitamin B5 supplements can reduce the production of Sebum (clogs pores). As a general rule, these herbs should be researched before taking, as some are meant primarily for women with hormonal imbalance, etc. Just do your homework, ask your doctor and be sure that what you’re taking/using is right for you, and you’ll be fine!

The last acne remedy one should consider is the “Acid Proof” method. There are many acids found in fruits that help reduce Sebum, eliminate the excess toxins that build up in the body and reduce redness and swelling of blemishes.

The best fruits to eat for this purpose are those with red, orange or dark skins, such as apples, grapes and oranges. Also, by rubbing lemon juice on a cotton ball, and placing it on a blemish for 30 seconds to a minute, the lemon’s natural acids can kill bacteria that is clogging the pores, thus reducing redness and swelling, improving the appearance dramatically!

PinkPrincessNerd asked:


There is way too much info out there for natural remedies. There is no naturopath in my area, so tips and hints that have worked for you on your kids would be helpful.

My 9 year old has asthma, which is brought on by allergies and heavy exercise – she is a sport nut. Her allergies are pretty bad too, but since she spends so much time outside for sports I **** to “dope her up” every day with allergy medicine. No allergy medicine = worse asthma, so then she is ******* back her puffer.

Any tips, good websites, etc would help! Thanks
She is getting food allergy testing on Wednesday! I’m looking to start more natural treatments after I find out what she is allergic to,,, I know there is a food in there somewhere [like tuna or red dye] that will be an AHH OK! for us :)

Natural Remedies for Diabetes – Vital Information for Adults and Children

Friday, September 5th, 2008

Raphael asked:


Diabetes is a disease caused by a failure of the biological mechanisms for regulating blood sugar, due to insufficient of the production of insulin (hormone that is needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into energy) by the pancreas. The disease is characterized by a significant increase in blood sugar. Three major types of diabetes are Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes and Gestational diabetes.

Type 1 diabetes is characterized by a loss of insulin production by particular cells of the pancreas (Beta cells or Langerhans cells. The causes of this loss of insulin production are still unknown. Type 1 diabetes can affect children or adults but, most of times, it starts between few months of life and about 35 years. The organism of a diabetic patient rejects, by the formation of antibodies, cells which are capable of producing insulin. The symptoms are discomfort and frequent ********* which can lead to dehydration and weight loss. Type 1 diabetes accounts for 10% of patients with diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes or Diabetes mellitus type 2 is a form of diabetes characterized by high levels of sugar in the blood. This type of diabetes results from a lack of insulin secretion and its ineffectiveness to keep the blood sugar within a normal level. Type 2 Diabetes can be caused by genetic factors or unhealthy lifestyle, lack of exercise, obesity, alcohol abuse and high-fat diet. However, the causes of diabetes in the vast majority of cases have not yet any logical explanation.

Gestational diabetes mellitus is a type of diabetes that occurs in pregnant women only. No specific cause has been identified, but it is believed that during pregnancy, the body of the mother produces hormones to support the fetus as it grows. In some women, these hormones work against their bodies, making them less able to make the insulin needed to get energy from body cells. Without this insulin, the level of sugar in the mother’s blood starts to build up, which can do harm to both mother and fetus, if left untreated . Gestational diabetes occurs in nearly 7 percent of all pregnancies. Unlike type 1 and type 2 diabetes, Gestational diabetes is often treatable.

General signs of type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes

The symptoms of diabetes may occur in different ways: fatigue, difficulty concentrating, blurred vision, intense thirst, frequent urination, insatiable hunger, weight loss,muscle weakness. Some or all of these symptoms are present in patients with diabetes early in the disease. However, some diabetics have few symptoms. The disease is then detected in a blood sample.

Nick Mutt asked:


If you are you looking for natural remedies for arthritis pain then here you have come to the right place. This article will tell you the common symptoms and natural remedies for arthritis.

Symptoms of arthritis –

Since there are in reality in excess of hundred unlike kinds of arthritis, the symptoms of this type of disease are therefore highly variable in nature. However here in this article we will discuss arthritis symptoms that are prevalent through all of the different kinds.

1. An inflammation of the joints with pain or tenderness, particularly if you feel that it is agitated through the use of movement or activity, for instance, going for a walk, rising up from a chair, or even throwing a ball.

2. Excess fatigue is an additional type of common symptom you may see if you are afflicted from the condition of arthritis.

Natural remedies for arthritis –

1. Nutrition and weight play an important role when it comes to arthritis relief. A good diet helps to regulate the body. Being overweight will put more strain on the joints, which over time allows arthritis to wear out the joints and tissues surrounding them. Vitamins and minerals can relieve arthritis pain by reducing the swelling of tissues.

2. Exercising for an hour three times a week has been proven to be a great way to get relief from arthritis pain in a natural way. Any type of bending and stretching is a very good exercise for arthritis.

3. Acupuncture for arthritis relief is the art of inserting small needles at specific places on your body to reduce pain and pressure. Some of the needles are heated and some are twirled by the acupuncturist.

4. Cinnamon is one of the common natural remedies for arthritis that many people say works very well for them. It is an anti-inflammatory herbal remedy that can help to deal with arthritis. Mixing cinnamon with honey has also proved very effective in relieving arthritis pain.

So get relief from arthritis pain with natural remedies for arthritis!
