A natural way to cure your pets
A Colorado-based pet store implements an old approach to medicine.

The use of herbal medicine is an ancient practice that has been in cultures for years—centuries even. While an organic approach to medicine has been around for some time now, using herbs for your household pets hasn't. Next time your German Shepherd needs medicine for any reason, Marty Grosjean offers owners a different option—Only Natural Pet Store.


Only Natural Pet Store, which operates from Boulder, CO, was created to offer healthy, natural pet care products that are consistent with a holistic approach to pet health. All of their products are made of natural ingredients.


The organic pet store has a warehouse and features products for dogs and cats with a variety of conditions. Additionally, the site offers its clients an advice column from a veterinarian, articles, a newsletter, vet phone consultants area and discounts on food delivery.


According to Dr. Siegler, the online veterinarian for the store, homeopathic medicine is a natural healer for pets that works by eliminating the underlying problem that is causing the symptom of illness. The doctor reports in his article "Homeopathy for Pet Health," published on the Web site, that homeopathy is an over 200-year-old system of medical science based on the principle of "like cures like."


And at Only Natural Pet Store, combination remedies combine different methods of treatment to treat symptoms. Siegler stated that classic homeopath works in combination of the whole patient, the total of all symptoms including physical, mental and emotional states.


"The length of time a disease takes to resolve with homeopathic treatments is generally related to the length of time the disease has been present in the individual's system and the severity of the symptoms," writes Siegler in an article.


According to the doctor, this kind of medicine is best given 20 minutes before or after a meal. For acute injuries the treatment can be moderated. Siegler said in his article that homeopathic medicine for animals is increasing rapidly because it is so effective.


To find a holistic vet who practices near you, check the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association or the Academy of Veterinary Homeopathy referral directories on the site.

Nature Organization Helps With Katrina Effort

By Terri Rimmer Recently 14 Nature Conservancy staff and two volunteers helped out in Mississippi with Hurricane Katrina relief. The country’s wildland fire management resources were mobilized to help with the government’s response. Although their hurricane-related duties didn’t have anything to do with flames their training lent itself well. During the stay in Hattiesburg, MS the team from the Nature Conservancy was able to have housing, transportation, meals, and other needs met. Within the organization the help was orchestrated by Paula Seamon and Sam Lindblom of the agency’s Global Fire Initiative. The team was involved in a variety of activities from clearing timber to helping evacuees. The Initiative helps teach people how fire can be useful and how it can be destructive. According to a press release from nature.org, the Conservancy’s website, the agency and partners have proposed renewed coastal conservation in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. A September release also stated that ...

Women Using Book To Help People and Animals

By Terri Rimmer Donations from the profits of a new book are going to help people with AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) and their pets. Following last year’s election, Cathy Conheim and her partner Dr. Donna Brooks were driving to their home, feeling discouraged about current events. There were “dog people” but when they arrived home they discovered a three-month-old kitten living on their property that had been injured badly. Off to the vet they sped with their young charge. An amputation was necessary to save the kitten’s life and they were told that he could no longer be an outdoor cat. They ended up adopting “Henry” and there ensued an incredible journey. Conheim started writing about the cat’s adventures as much for her own healing regarding some bad news politically as for anything else. She sent them to 20 people who sent them on, and today, Henry The Cat has 2,300 emails in ”his” letterbox in the sky. “My cat, Rhett Butler became one of Henry’s teachers and correspond...

Making Subsidies Accountable

By Terri Rimmer An award winner and author founded Good Jobs First back in 1998. Greg LeRoy, who wrote No More Candy Store: States and Cities Making Jobs Subsidies Accountable and winner of the 1998 Public Interest Pioneer Award of the Stern Family Fund, has made his organization a national leader. Good Jobs First frequently testifies before state legislatures, conducts workshops and training, and appears in the press. Good Jobs first says that the failure of large companies such as Wal-Mart to provide affordable and comprehensive health coverage to many of their employees has been a subject of growing controversy – all the more so because large numbers of those workers not insured on the job are turning instead to government programs such as Medicaid and the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). According to their website, goodjobsfirst.org, Wal-Mart has received more than $1 billion in economic development subsidies from state and local governments across the country. The...
