Bald patches on cats are not uncommon. They tell a story. A story that you should be explored before ever considering treatment.

It may not be a story that you are going to welcome.

People feel comfortable in routine. Challenges change the comfortable way of thinking. However, as Einstein is famous for saying, "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."

And bald spots on cats are created by us. They don't happen in the wild.

So let's explore some possibilities.

Bald patches on cats invariably means they are over-grooming these areas. It's these areas that are particularly itchy or troublesome.

We currently live in a highly toxic world. Never before has the world been so toxic. New chemicals are being made every year that have permeated every aspect of our lives, and those of our beloved animals. Not to mention the trail of destruction they leave.

Highly toxic chemicals have been used on farms and gardens for decades. They are used in household cleaners, personal care products, furnishings.

No adequate testing is carried out before they are released onto the market as this would interfere with sales. Some are eventually recalled, but not before they have wreaked havoc on the environment and on lives.

When anyone become toxic, the body’s immune system immediately tries to reduce the impact of this. The normal elimination channels of the bowels and renal system may not be enough.

The next favourite place for the immune system to choose is the skin. The skin is much less important than the internal organs. Toxins can be eliminated through the skin without seriously impacting the health of the individual.

However, this can produce eruptions, unpleasant sensations and itchiness. Constant itching is likely to cause bald patches on cats. This may even develop into alopecia. And generally, people don't like the look of them, so go to greater lengths to be rid of them.

That means the highly toxic drugs come out, leading to all manor of serious and chronic health issues.

Apart from the general environment, toxins abound in commercial cat food and veterinary drugs.

Commercial cat food is devoid of nutrients, contains unsuitable food for our carnivorous cats and contains toxic chemicals to flavour, colour, preserve, entice, to eliminate obnoxious odours, etc.

Because so many cats consume this toxic soup on a daily basis, they are unable to eliminate it faster than they consume it.

Veterinary (and medical) drugs are synthetic, often chemical copy-cats of the real natural healing plants and herbs. You cannot patent natural plants. You can only patent the synthesised version of the active ingredients.

Patenting is all about making money. Big money.

Injections, worm and flea drugs all mount up in a sensitive cat, causing an overload.

All animals, including us, can eliminate toxins when we are healthy. But the average domestic cat is not healthy. The food does not promote a healthy immune system because it is unsuitable and nutritionally bankrupt.

This means that instead of jumping to the conclusion that your cat needs a drug, consider the cause. Consider the toxicity levels in your cat.

In addition to extra toxicity from drugs, the aim of drugs isn't to cure the problem, but rather to suppress the symptoms. Repeat customers.

Your first job is to detox. One of the best ways to do that is to feed a nutritious diet that will allow the immune system to do what it was designed to do - keep the body strong and healthy.

So your job, one that no-one else can do, is to change the diet to a fresh, raw meat and bones diet.

Dietary conversions can go smoothly, but not always! Often, help is needed. See link below.

You can often see positive results quite quickly. However, healing will be on-going.

The diet can completely heal all manor of ailments especially in young cats and when the condition is not far advanced.

However, sometimes there is a need for extra help. And homeopathic treatment can fill that need. It is non-toxic and supports a healthy immune system.

For any and every health condition, always consider the cause.
