Dear Ms. Wilton,
In our past researches we were able to
gain excellent results addressing both hip dysplasia and other vertebral
insults in dogs. One of our more successful protocols involved 12 (50
mg) alfalfa tablets daily (or two heaping teaspoons of alfalfa
meal/powder), an initial course of CMO ( 3 to 6 capsules
daily---depending on total mass---for 10 days); a continuing protocol
of glucosamine sulphate (2000 mg daily), plus 1200 mg of some form of
Chondroitin. Additionally, one heaping teaspoon of Kelp (powder or
granules) mixed into their food will be a pronounced dietary asset.
DMSO has demonstrated to be a superior support
in rapid pain relief (with increased time-span relief when mixed with
standard, non-toxic, analgesics. If applying DMSO directly to the skin
surface, do not use over 50% concentration without shaving the area of
application (blistering coefficent is too high with more concentrated
solutions).
We have never found ANYTHING more beneficial for
long-term dysplasia support......than copious quantities of alfalfa. We
have achieved "near-miraculous" responses in a number of , otherwise,
hopeless cases. We had one older German Shepard (14+) who required 350
mg of Butyl just for pain management------enabled to go off completely
within 7 days of initiating alfalfa protocol.
Additionally, if you have access to a
Beck-type magnetic pulser, I believe you will find it a splendid
ancillary support. We have documented "localized circulation increases"
on the order of maginitude of 400%......achieved within a 60 minute
time envelop. This device is equally effective in cases of trauma
resulting from contusions (sprains) and/or blunt-force inflicted insult.
Take heart, there ARE successful addresses to
this challenge.
Sincerely, Brooks Bradley.
