Upper respiratory infections in cats is the natural consequence of poor health management.

This appears to be the order of the day, currently.

Yet, it doesn't have to be. All you need is to discover why this happens and then take the appropriate action. Healthy and natural solutions tend to be easy, so don't think for a moment that you don't have the skills.

You do.

But it may mean a change in your mind set. So sit tight and allow your mind to be open to new ideas.

Vets are trained by big p-harma and big pet food. That's all they know. So they are limited in their ability to help any condition naturally. Yet natural treatment is just what's needed.

Both the food they recommend and the drugs they administer are toxic laden.

Yet cats are very sensitive beings. especially to toxins.

These toxins need to be excreted. But that's not often possible at the same rate they are ingested or injected.

Toxins are bad news for the immune system. It struggles to eliminate them and can be overwhelmed, giving rise to issues that it would otherwise be able to prevent.

The holistic or natural approach to health means examining everything that could be contributing to ill health. This is not necessarily a quick fix approach, although it can be. It is a considered approach. An intelligent approach.

The quick veterinary approach to any infection is to reach for antibiotics. People have become mesmerised in the need for antibiotics.

But, look at the name - anti-. The antis- are going against life, or the way the body works. Bacteria is not the bad guy. Bacteria develops as a consequence of poor health. It is helping the situation. It is not the cause.

The cause is a poorly functioning immune system. Fix that and the upper respiratory infections in cats, or in anyone disappear.

Using antibiotics usually means the problem will return. Often again and again. In the hope of resolving the cause.

Looking deeper into this issue means considering the epigenetic model. This states that:

• the environment is about 90% responsible for health
• leaving the genetic effect at about 10%

The environment consists of diet, toxins and stress – both emotional and physical.

The typical diet of most cats is commercial cat food. This is, for the most part, despite the label, the claims, the price and who sells it, non-nutritious. It keeps the cat alive. But not healthy.

These diets are not in keeping with a biologically appropriate diet. Everything is wrong about the majority of their ingredients.

It's just like putting the wrong fuel in your car.

This means, if you want a naturally healthy cat, one resistant to poor health, this is where you need to start.

Any only you can change the diet.

The next problem is toxins.

We live in an ever increasingly toxic world, so its hard to avoid them altogether. But the most problematic of them, apart from those in the diet, are those that are ingested, such as veterinary drugs, as well as those that are injected. 

The cat has no defence against these, as they are alien. So they build up in their bodies creating problems. The vast majority of veterinary drugs are synthetic or isolated chemicals, aimed at removing the symptoms rather than dealing with the problem.

It's a suppressive approach rather than a curative one.

....look at the cause.

Upper respiratory infections in cats, as with all conditions, respond to a change in diet to a natural one. This automatically restores the health of the immune system, allowing it to do the work it was designed to do. At the same time, toxins are released more efficiently and quickly.
