North American Herb & Spice is the company of
Dr. Cass Ingram, author of many books about natural health care using
botanical products. NAHS has created more than 80 natural supplements for
humans, many of which can be used in animals as well. Visit their site
www.p73.com for more information, and also
www.p73.com/cdresearch.htm for
articles.
See Dr. Cass Ingram's book
"The Cure is In the Cupboard". It discusses the very many health conditions against which Oreganol™
is effective (including but not limited to parasites, bacteria, viruses,
fungi, and possibly tumors and cancer), and discusses use of the NAHS products
for many different types of health issues. Oreganol is his trademarked,
proprietary blend, made from the very highest quality oil of oregano available
worldwide. Other oils of oregano are not the same; many are
actually made from Mexican marjoram or thyme.
Spices and Herbs:
Spices are usually the ground or whole leaves, seeds, bark and roots of
perennial plants and trees, such as nutmeg, cinnamon, pepper, cloves etc.
Herbs are the leaves, seeds, roots, stems, and flowers of annual plants, such
as parsley, sage, thyme, mint, basil, etc.
USING CERTAIN NAHS PRODUCTS TO ADDRESS ANIMAL HEALTH ISSUES
These products
can be given to most animals; however, it is important to know how to determine
dosage, and how long the products can be used and in what manner.
Please Note:
NAHS designated me as one of their Animal Care
Consultants for use of these products. I do not get compensated by them for my
time; I offer it as a service to others in an effort to be helpful. My time is
very limited for these consults; and I have only used certain of their
products on animals so please understand if I cannot answer all of your
questions. And I am not a distributor; you will have to find another source
for these products.
NOTE: I AM UNAVAILABLE TO
RESPOND TO EMAILS BETWEEN JAN. 25 AND FEB. 6, 2007. PLEASE CONTACT NORTH AMERICAN
HERB & SPICE AT 800-243-5242 FOR ASSISTANCE.
Please feel free to contact me before beginning an NAHS
protocol with your animal, to ensure correct use. These products are very
potent, but safe if used in the proper amounts. More is not necessarily
better. You can reach me at
kat@katberard.com, this is the fastest
way to get a response from me for these inquiries (do not call me). There is no
charge for the consult regarding the NAHS products. Please send me a BRIEF
description of the situation including: animal's name, age, breed, weight,
sex; what you are trying to treat; what NAHS products you are considering and
why.
NOTE: If you are interested in a more
comprehensive holistic care consultation specific to your animal's situation,
then a consultation fee applies. If that is what you are wanting, email me
and we'll set a time to talk by phone. Please see my
Services Offered page for fee structure.
DISCLAIMER: I am not a veterinarian and do
not make diagnoses or give veterinary/medical advice. What I can offer is
suggestions for creating a healthier immune system, supplements, diet
considerations, alternative healing modalities, information on vaccination
issues/problems, etc.
FOR USE IN HORSES: I honestly cannot say whether it is worth trying the NAHS
products in horses, because of their size/weight and the amount of product
you'd need to feed in order for it to be effective. There are other
supplements out there that are much more cost effective and can be as
beneficial. See my Holistic Care for Horses page.
Also you can contact Leta Worthington, Animal Communicator and Herbalist (an
expert in natural horse care) for a consultation, see
www.herbsandanimals.com.
See also my Essential Oils page for
Virginia Litza's contact information. She has successfully treated a wide
variety and number of animals, small to large, over the years with Young
Living brand essential oils and supplements with amazing success. Please let
them know I referred you.
NAHS products which
I recommend for animals:
Oreganol is a proprietary formula of oil of oregano. It
has anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, germicidal, antiseptic, pain-killing, and
antioxidant properties and is suggested to kill yeast (candida) overgrowth,
fungi, bacteria, parasites, relieve diarrhea, intestinal gas, digestive
disorders, and bronchitis, ease pain and inflammation, and provide antioxidant
protection. The extra strength Oreganol is three times the potency of the
regular Oreganol and cheaper in the long run. It is safe to take on an empty
stomach. It increases metabolic rate and can be helpful for weight loss. Put
it on a bee sting, it minimizes the pain, stops the inflammatory response, and
neutralizes the bee’s sting enzymes. It is two-thirds as effective as
morphine (analgesic/pain killing properties). Put a few drops on an abscessed
tooth, and within 24 hrs you’ll see a 50% reduction in the size of the
abscess, and the pain is minimal or gone. The health issues it can address
are practically limitless. See Dr. Ingram’s book (The Cure is in the
Cupboard) for complete information. It is most beneficial to use the Oreganol with the Oregacyn, rather than either by
themselves.
Watch for mild reactions when using this and other NAHS products in animals.
You may see a change in stool color. It may get very dark because of the
increase in bile production, indicating elimination of toxins, and flushing of
parasites in the case of intestinal overloads. The stool may also have a foul
odor for the same reason. However, this product should not cause diarrhea. If
it does, reduce the dose.
Be sure not to stress the
animal – i.e., if s/he won’t eat food with the oil stirred in, then fill an
empty gelatin capsules (found at health food stores) with the recommended
number of drops of oil, and hide in moist food or insert in back of throat.
Oreganol can be given in a low
prophylactic dose daily if/when the animal is healthy, to minimize
incidences/reoccurrences of parasites, viruses, unfriendly bacteria, etc.
Oreganol makes the environment hostile for these unfriendly internal
visitors. After a few months, this product also makes the animal unpleasant for fleas, ticks
and
mosquitoes.
NOTE: Do not use
Oreganol or other NAHS oils at full strength in or on CATS without contacting
me or NAHS first. Cats are very
sensitive to essential oils. NAHS products are spices, which act
a little differently than herbs and essential oils,
so they are generally safe for cats, but
exercise caution.
Oil of Cumin: Cumin is most deadly on
hookworms and other parasites; and anything unfriendly living in the intestine
will be addressed by the Oregano products, especially the oil. Oil of Cumin
is a potent larvicide which takes care of tapeworms, hookworms, botworms,
roundworms, nematodes, etc. It’s deadly on them, kills and flushes them from
the system, doesn’t just expel them. It is also a vermifuge, antiprotozoan,
fungicide, antibacterial, antihelminthic. The cumin in the Oregacyn, which is
not contained in the Oreganol, is highly effective against parasites
(especially hookworms), and is also a powerful liver cleanser, which is
important given the toxins the parasites put out. Same thing with cancer
cells. Cumin clears protozoans like Giardia very effectively; and is also a
powerful liver cleanser.
Oregacyn:
These are small gelcaps or big powdered
capsules. The gelcaps contain less of the following than the capsules: oils of
oregano (anti-parasitic), sage (immune boosting) and cumin. Oregano and cumin
are very powerful together; sage is good for cleansing (antiviral/microbial),
healing, has a lot of energy to it. A hyper dog will calm down and a lethargic
dog will perk up when taking Oregacyn. Oregacyn capsules contain dried
oregano, sage and cumin, and are very potent/ powerful, with a slightly
different action than the oregano, sage and cumin oils.
Oregacyn dry capsules work extremely well on respiratory problems and
anything to do with lungs, sinus problems, chronic ear infections, stomach
lining, intestines and certain other issues. The Oreganol (oil) tends to work better
for inflammation and have better analgesic properties. Note: It is probably
better to use oil of oregano to treat irritable bowel syndrome rather than the
dry capsules (which may inflame the tissue).
Oregamax: Dried capsule formula, containing the whole
Oregano plant – leaf, flower, stem. Not a powder or an oil.
Royal
Kick/Royal Oil: these products fortify, detoxify and
normalize the adrenal glands. Royal Oil and Royal Kick are basically equal
products; one isn’t better than the other. The oil will enter the system
faster because it’s given sublingually. For Cancer: The B complex is
badly depleted in cancer patients – they literally starve to death.
They don’t eat (aren’t hungry), or when they do eat, they don’t assimilate
nutrients. Vitamin B-12 is an appetite stimulant; all B vitamins are nervenes
(they boost metabolic function and soothe the nervous system). With this
product they’re getting predigested proteins, enzymes and B-complex, which can
make a major difference in cancer patients’ health and weight. Royal
Kick capsules (freeze dried): This is royal bee jelly, which is a
fully predigested and complete food. This product is also stabilized with
pantothenic acid (a B vitamin). It is an immediately bioavailable food, and
doesn’t interfere with any medications. Readily absorbed. Can give
sublingually if necessary. For people, take it any time during the day when
you start losing energy – take it an hour before that period. Very potent.
Very balancing for the whole body (cramps, irritability, etc.). Should notice
a gradual improvement in energy and mood. For animals, can add the capsule to
food, or open it and sprinkle the contents on moist food. Can also give bee
pollen (locally harvested), which is another complete food. Royal Oil:
Bee jelly in raw form, stabilized with cinnamon oil and pantothenic acid, also
contains pumpkin seed oil. Comes in a squeeze bottle, give 1/4 tsp
sublingually twice a day. Within a short time you will feel energized. Get
small gelatin capsules at your health food store and place drops of Royal Oil
in them if the animal doesn’t like the cinnamon taste. Note that you’ll need
to make the capsule and give immediately, as gelatin capsules are not designed
to hold oils (they may soften or dissolve).
Resvitanol: Red sour grape in capsule form. Very powerful
in fighting illness and disease. May even help prevent the occurrence and/or
spread of cancer in several ways. See the
Order Page for more information.
When using OREGANO and ROYAL JELLY products,
they offer completely different benefits and have relatively opposite
properties, so give them separately (an hour or more apart), with or without
food.
Other Oils
Consider mixing
Coriander (liver cleansing and
other benefits – great balancer), Cumin (as noted above, a great
liver cleanser), Oregano (very potent on molds), Sage
(good for kidneys, for mental state/mental energy, also fairly potent
internally for bacteria, not so much on the parasites), Rosemary
(also very potent, good for mental, helps kidney function). Put the
drops in anything
you can stand them in (tomato juice, milk, orange juice or water). All of these help with
metabolism and cleansing the body. Oil of Juniper (helps
rejuvenation of the kidneys from nephritis and the like). Lavender Oil
is great for the skin (use after shaving, and for skin problems of all types).
Dr. Ingram makes a product
called “Liver Cleanse”, which contains Oregano, Sage, and Cumin. Could
add the Coriander and Rosemary noted above to this product.
One NAHS
products story: A gentleman suffered from severe asthma, so he starting using Dr.
Ingram’s oils: Coriander, Cumin, Oregano, Sage and Rosemary. He has taken
this oil mix once a day as a prophylactic (5 drops of each, sometimes 10 of
the Oreganol) for several years. Sometimes he takes an extra dose at night if
he’s not feeling right. He no longer has asthma attacks. These oils have very
strong, pungent flavors so add the mix to anything you can stand it in (tomato
juice, milk, orange juice, etc.). All of these help with metabolism and
cleansing the body.
The above is just a bit of information about these very
powerful, yet gentle, and versatile botanical products. Their highest quality
ingredients make them second to none.
