In this episode, PetDoc Donna describes how to help and sometimes cure pets suffering from immune-mediated conditions. By identifying triggers, using acupuncture to shift the immune system's focus, correcting the biome, changing the diet, using herbs to tonify and balance, these cases can be cured within 6 months. We do not suppress symptoms or inflammation except in the case of thromocyctopenia and anemia when steroids may be critical to save the life of the cat or dog initially. Did you know immune-mediated problems are skyrocketing in humans and in pets? Inflammation is our greatest problem because it can literally destroy tissues within the body. By switching single protein diets once a month (treats to match), choosing and tweaking herbal approaches and acupuncture weekly, these cases can be some of the most gratifying because a cure is possible.  When symptoms are just suppressed, the condition is not cured and often the immune system cleverly finds way around pharmaceutical suppression.  #holistic #veterinary #immune-mediated #cats #dogs #PLE #PLN #DM #IBD
