In my view, that is what their homeopath is for, to advise.

"Man who say it cannot be done should not interrupt one doing it."

Hard to know for sure Sherill.
A few of the most likely options:

* Do you clean with chlorine?
If so change to baking soda instead.
Chlorine (as also used in plastic bag manufacture and cardboard manufacture) can cause this in cats, and is toxic.

* Is the cat pale in the gums?
licking or chewing inappropriate things can be a sign of iron deficiency anemia.
A lot of cat foods are based on chicken, (or worse, plant protein/fat) but it lacks iron and copper, unless there is significnt red meat or liver to provide it. A good iron tonic is pet-tinic.
* Does the cat food used have toxins such as saponins which cats can not digest?
Examples are oats, tomatoes, blueberries, cranberries, alfalfa, yucca, etc.
Saponins require liver enzyme cholesterin to digest, which carnivores (and most herbivores) do not have.
They deplete their own antioxidants in an attempt to detoxify these feline poisons, and it causes nutritional deficiencies in other areas.

I would check out thise options first.

If you are in USA, there is a new canned cat food - one varierty only - which I recommend called Purrfect DInner. It has plenty of varied organic animal protein and animal fat with a dash of pumpkin to provide gut health and carotene. Be sure to put "Irene" in the reommended-by field. There is an agreement that doing so will avoid your being called to sell feline-toxic items from the same manufacturer.
See PurrfectDinner.com
( I get nothing for recommending it. I was involved in developing it, also at no fee.)

You are also welcome to join my CATWELL yahoogroup for more feline information. It is a discussion group like this one but also has a file section with articles that may be useful.

Namaste,
Irene

Bullseyes are good and if you do not at least face the direcetion of the target, your chances of hitting a bullseye are awfully small
You have the luxury of F series at Simllimum practically next door. A benefit of being F series developer:-)
It is not the same if a cat owner sends an email from a place minus such luxury to say the vet gave the cat two days extimated survivial due to adenocarcinoma around the gut, metastacised to spleen etc.. Better for the owner to use my approximation approach than bury the cat two weeks before the remedy arrives from Simillimum.

Humans average 150 pounds. They seldom have chronic conditions that move too fast to wait two weeks. A cat when diagnosed ill, has usually already lost a significant percentage of body mass, and they only start out at ave ten pounds. So they are often in life threatening situation when diagosed.

But even with humans, why wait?
When I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2000, I got a remedy from South Africa sent by overnight express. (The postage was the main cost of my self cure, no wonder allopaths protect their income). I would do it again if a comparable situation arose, and that was pre-F-series.
I think the individual circumstances must dictate whether an approximation is the best way to go, of if one can sit on one's hands for two weeks in hopes the remedy is not held up at customs or lost en route or "backordered".
Bullseyes are great when the target is in view:-)

Namaste,
Irene

Roger Morrison not only got over any possible cognitive dissonance, he and his wife, Nancy Herrick, just came out with a fantastic book on miasmatic prescribing, Miasms of the New Millennium. Hate the title, found the substance enthralling.
Each chapter deals with a different miasm (a la Sankaran), the miasmatic characteristics and language patients are likely to use, and animal, plant, and mineral cases (plus nosode cases for some). I was involved in editing the book so was able to give preview presentations to our study group last year, with considerable benefit to all of us.
Peace,
Dale

Irene, thanks for taking the time with great questions and suggestions.
I agree, it is not just about a remedy but about deficiencies and obstacles to cure.

Minimal use of added household chlorine (some Comet). Mostly Simple Green when needed. Otherwise I use baking soda, alternative dish soaps, homemade soaps, etc.

Buy mostly Wellness brand foods. Posted one label example at the end of this post. He also gets their kibble free feeding.
Will definitely check into Purfect Dinner and CATWELL.
Can’t find him at the moment to double check ~ but he may be more pale than some. Will get back with that answer.

"Man who say it cannot be done should not interrupt one doing it."

Since I am taking Fseries remedies I find this interesting Ellen.
Yes. The slow C series homeopath (my first and my dog's first) used the "watch and wait" method, and it was definitely slow. And at some point there was no improvement. I administered the remedy, took notes and reported back on a scheduled date unless there was an emergency. It would take sometimes a month or more to make the next move. My dog made progress, but slowly. From where he was when he started I'd have to say the first few months of care under this homeopath were critical to the first step of his healing, but with time there were no improvements as if she was getting the wrong remedy! I don't think she got the remedy wrong, but she didn't order LMs, and she didn't really manage the case because she was too busy. She obviously knew how to treat dogs. We had many successes, but I moved on.

The next homeopath was using Fseries. I knew NOTHING about it. So I said okay and tried it, but I was totally confused because the only case management system I knew was the slow one! I was dosing him with Fseries almost ever day at times. I obviously didn't ask enough questions, and like I always do... I made something simple difficult! At that time I reported to his homeopath either daily or every other day, but I didn't make the dosing decisions. I was confused because I had never given a remedy on an almost every day basis. I was just doing what she said to do.

Then I moved to another Fseries homeopath! I was finally enlightened to the real simplicity of the Fseries: my job was to make the remedy, give the dose (drop (s) sometimes using multiple dilution cups, no dilution cups, etc., but the easy part was this: dose and look for change. I was still confused by the old "watch and wait" system and asked what I could read to determine what "change" looks like when there is a response. This was the answer:

"Nothing can be read about change, because this is something each patient has to recognise for himself....just read the definition of change in the dictionary."

So I did that. No change in 48 hours, move to the next potency. Simple! My dog's thyroid numbers came back NORMAL after retesting last December even though we haven't finished the series. So I asked the question to Dr. Joe on the recent "Quest" potencies conversation at Shippa's site.

Ellen are you a member of that group? If not I can go there and copy his response to the question (I asked the same thing... about the return of old symptoms). Better yet, maybe Dr. Joe will show up and do it again!

Joe. could you expand on that answer about why I need to complete the whole series even though the thyroid numbers were normal and why the old symptoms are showing up? It seems to be the same question Ellen is asking below.
Ellen, if Joe doesn't respond here I'll go and cut and paste my question and his response from the other discussion.

A short answer as to why finish the series (it is partially in the books and it will be more detailed in course) is that often remedies, especially in chronic situations are not "punctual", but like the pathology, do influence the whole system.

Therefore a potency or a partial series might "solve" one part, the visible part of the iceberg, but leave the rest of the physiology still unbalanced and sick. Surely, it often happens that when the major problem is solved, the body/mind takes care of the rest on its own; that is what is happening with successful single doses and LMs. With finishing a series, almost all wrinkles are removed, therefore the cure is faster and deeper as it leaves only minimal house keeping to be done with.

Sherill,the food here is a problem, a bit like a good steak with arsenic sauce, it's the arsenic sauce that counts.
THat was the "steak" part.
This is the arsenic sauce:
These omnivore foods do not belong in a carnivore diet. They are loaded with saponins and several other toxin categories for which carnivores have no liver enzymes, esp the sweet potato, and berries.
The only plant materials cats need are food for gut bacteria, and carotene from those. But that is lacking here.
Cellulose from carrots is abrasive and unusable and kills feline gut bacteria rather than feeding them.
(Cooked pumpkin works well, up to one percent not the huge amounts of carbs here).
Cats also require arachidonic acid at every meal for a litany of feline reasons. But istead, plant fat is supplied from flax, which is inflammatory to cats.
Gums prevent absorption of nutrients.
A good cat food has a max of 1% plants, and only for feeding gut bacteria.
They need aimal protein (present here) and animal fat (absent here), bone for minerals esp calcium (absent here?) and gut health ingredients (1%).

Gut health is essential in carnivores to make butyrate propionate ad acetate short chain fatty acids to suport organs ans immune system, plus essential B vitamins. The gut bacteria of carnivores need special attention, feeding and protection - they are desingned to perform functions in carnivoresto replace what omnivores like us are designed to get from plants.

That "arsenic sauce" is just that to a carnivore. There are no liver enzymes to use it, or detoxify it, and that means the cat does not get what does work in carnivores, that it needs, in addition to getting poison instead.

Unfortunately this is the case with all or most of the "grain free" food. So you cannot add somethig to fix it.
Grains (which are neutral empty calories to carnivores except wheat and GMO wich are toxic) are replaced by direct poisons as here, in "grain free" food. Rice, for example, is empty calories, but is not toxic to carnivores as are fruit, herbs and vegetables.

Sadly the food manufacturers all seem completely ignorant of carnivore metabolism, and are using a sales pitch based on the falsity that cats are small omnivores (i.e. cats are like little humans).

Namaste,
Irene

Nice. Thank you.

When will the course start? What's the cost?

Vicki

When? I have to finish it first, then it has to be properly edited...March-April, around that time....

How much? I do not have a clue.....
