The veterinary worm treatment for cats can be more hazardous to the health of cats, than the proliferation of the worms themselves. All veterinary medications, including the worm treatments, are chemicals. ALL chemicals are toxic to life forms and lower the immune system, setting up the potential for more health problems sooner or later.
Instead of turning to chemicals, as vets have been taught to do so well by the drug companies, it is better to look for the cause of the problem.
Parasites, including intestinal worms, are perfectly natural to all complex life forms, such as cats. In the right numbers, they play an invaluable role in helping to maintain good health. In fact, it has been estimated that the parasites in us all outnumber our natural cells.
In other words, we would all be dead without them.
To most people, that sounds counter-intuitive. But that's only because we've been lead astray.
It’s only when their populations increase that worms pose a health problem. It isn't the worms themselves that are responsible for poor health. It's the poor health that is responsible for the worms in excess numbers.
When a cat's immune system is in excellent shape, the cat is healthy because the immune system is doing what it was designed to do.
When the immune system is in poor shape, it is unable to keep the cat healthy.
What factors have an adverse effect on the immune system?
It's the lifestyle of the cat. And that includes:
All of these factors can steadily chip away at a healthy immune system until eventually it can no longer function as it should.
No wonder cats die at such a young age, today.
Some of the above factors have a greater influence than others. In addition, there is always an individual factor to consider.
Most domestic cats are fed commercial cat food, a diet far from their natural diet. Instead of the fresh animal meat and bones all carnivores thrive on, they are given carbohydrates, some stale and unusable animal protein unfit for the human market, all laced with chemicals to flavour, address the shortfall in nutrition and to preserve.
This unnatural diet is difficult to digest, allowing the intestinal worms to breed out of their natural rhythm.
It's not exactly a diet that supports a healthy immune system.
Simply changing that to a fresh meat and bones diet can have an immediate improvement on their health.
Toxins abound in veterinary treatment, including their worm treatment for cats.
Toxins also abound in commercial cat food.
The above image shows a very unhealthy cat stool for two reasons. The stool is too wet and sloppy. The little white specks are tape worms, showing an unhealthy proliferation.
Toxins can't be eliminated as fast as they are absorbed. So the cat's body will send them to the fat tissue where they do the least harm.
This is why you don't often see an immediate decline in health after veterinary treatment.
However, over time, you will, as the toxins accumulate.
Exactly the same principles exist for your children as they do for your cat. Your children also harbour intestinal worms in their microbiome, to support their health.
If their immune system is in poor shape, they will be unhealthy. It isn't the worms that are at fault.
The veterinary worm treatment for cats will get rid of the worms. Probably all the worms, including the ones that are so beneficial for the cat's health. Once the microbiome is adversely affected, digestion issues are sure to be hot on the heels.
And that often means more drugs, more chemicals. A steady decline in the immune system is inevitable.
Most cats are trapped indoors 24/7. That can be very boring for such intelligent beings.
A human family stress adversely affects all the animals in the household, as does a noisy household.
Cats, being the highly sensitive beings they are, are particularly sensitive to a person's intent. They will return the love and respect shown to them 1000 fold. They will also avoid those who disrespect them, as much as they are able.
Unhappy cats are far more prone to poor health than happy ones.
Cats understand how to help themselves. When free to do so, they will nibble on grass and other herbs for medicinal reasons.
They will bask in the healing rays of direct sunlight.
They will earth themselves automatically, with all paws on the ground.
They will chase insects and leaves to entertain themselves.
Consider that what you have believed in up to now, may not be true. Don't take things for granted. Think things through for yourself. Try your ideas out.
Your cat is not you. They have different needs. Try to understand them for who they are.
Holistic worm treatment for cats is minimal, because the causes, outlined above, will ensure the problem just doesn’t exist. Holistic treatment aims at helping the whole cat return to good health, rather than just focusing on one aspect.
Holistic health care, especially homeopathic treatment, is all about enhancing the immune system naturally. It fully supports what the body is already trying to do, rather than suppress the symptoms, which happens with the chemical treatment.
