Homeopathic remedies have been safely and effec-
tively used for over 200 years. Remedies are very
dilute amounts of animals or plants or minerals
put into small tablets that dissolve quickly.
Finding the right homeopathic remedy for
Annie would involve research and gathering lots
of information about her symptoms, past history,
emotional state, personality, and more to match
the best remedy for her case. After all this case
taking, case analysis, and prayer, I chose
Pulsatilla.
The disposition and mental state were the chief
guiding symptoms to the selection of Pulsatilla.
This remedy is considered a female remedy, espe-
cially for those with a mild, gentle, and timid
disposition, one that seeks attention and craves
company, sympathy, and fresh air. Annie would
come right up and put her nose in my face
seeking attention and was gentle and easy to
work with. All the case taking made Pulsatilla
look like the perfect remedy match.
To give a Homeopathic remedy, put 3-5 pills
into a 3cc syringe (needle-less) and draw up about
1 to 2cc of clean water. Shake to mix and drench
into the side of the mouth.
Giving the Pulsatilla remedy to Annie:
Day 4:
After arriving at our ranch and still in
quarantine, I gave Annie Pulsatilla 30cc orally
in the AM and PM.
Day 5:
Gave the same remedy AM and PM.
Still runny diarrhea, but I noticed her eyes were
less messy and not as much discharge. This was
a good sign that the remedy might be working
at a constitutional level.
Day 6:
She had clumping poop in the morning –
some progress. Continued giving the remedy
AM and PM.
Day 7:
Still clumping poop but her eyes were
completely clean – no mucus discharge! Remedy
AM and PM.
Days 8 and 9:
Clumping poop but more solid
each day. I continued giving the remedy AM
and PM.
Day 10:
Solid beans! I gave the remedy AM and
PM. Then I stopped giving the Pulsatilla remedy.
She took the remedy for seven days.
Note:
Annie had chronic diarrhea for over two
years and has not had any bouts of runny diarrhea
since that day. This was very rewarding to match
the right remedy to help Annie!
For drooling and foamy mouth:
I read an article that Dr. Anderson found a good
probiotic, called Turval, which helped with foamy
mouth. We ordered it, gave it to Annie in her feed
and it worked great! That took about two weeks
to clear up.
At the end of month one, Annie weighed
80.3 pounds, had no drooling or foamy mouth,
her eyes were bright with no mucus discharge
and she was diarrhea free! Her teeth were
trimmed, she ate better and was definitely
looking and feeling better! She was ready to leave
quarantine and go in with some of the other girls.
Month Two:
Annie would gain two pounds and lose one
pound – her body was trying to balance. This was
frustrating but we knew she was getting better.
I added Soothe and Build herbal blend to the
“herbal mixture.” The Soothe and Build label
reads: “Helps to ease and soothe a toxic bowel.
Provides nutrients that help cleanse the bowel
by countering the effects of unfriendly micro-
organisms.” We also continued to dry brush
her once a week, which she enjoyed.
Annie also started losing some fiber on her
nose and the edges of her ears. I used Alpaca and
Llama Insect Spray – I sprayed this natural solu-
tion on my fingers and dabbed it on the area of
her nose and ears instead of spraying it on her
face and possibly getting it into her eyes. We used
this every other day for about two weeks. This
cleared up the problem areas and the fiber
started growing back. The ears and nose were
completely healed and covered with fiber by
the end of the month.
This month, she also had a parasite bloom, with
three different parasites that took three different
de-wormers to get rid of. Working with Dr. Ben
