You can certainly promote pet health

Domestic animals may often have an easier life than their wild counterparts, but they are also exposed to many more risk factors for illness, including food colorings, preservatives, a nutrition-poor diet, insufficient exercise, and in some cases, prescription drugs. In addition, domestic animals usually do not have access to the wide array of herbs and other substances that animals in the wild instinctively use to promote health and cleanse their systems.

These factors can all lead to damage of your pet's immune system. A compromised immune system reduces the body's natural ability to fight a range of illnesses, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and many more.  The importance of maintaining a strong immune system is being increasingly recognized as essential in maintaining your pet’s health and vitality.

However, you can certainly put in place strategies to strengthen immune functioning and protect your pet from some of the risk factors of urban living. These include:

• Make sure that your pet has plenty of clean, filtered water.  Cats can be fussy drinkers and may only want to drink from a running tap, out of your glass of water or from rain puddles.

• Ensure your pet is eating a balanced, high-quality diet with plenty of raw and unprocessed food, (preferably organic), and avoid onions and chocolate, as they can be toxic to animals.

• Try and limit the use of pesticides and herbicides, and make your house a no-smoking zone. Your pets need to have healthy lungs as well – and the whole household will benefit! 

• Talk to a holistic vet before immunizing your pet every year. Conventional over-vaccination may stress the immune system unnecessarily, leading to negative side effects.

• Food and water bowls should be made of glass, stainless steel or porcelain, and not plastic. Make sure to wash your pet’s water bowl and food bowls regularly using hot water. Make sure to rinse them well, so as not to leave any harmful chemical residue behind.

• Exercise, exercise, exercise! A good ball throwing session in the park or a catnip mouse ‘seek and destroy mission’ will benefit your pet, as a fit, healthy pet is less likely to develop illness.

• Provide your pet with the herbs he would usually eat in the wild. These could include liver-cleansing herbs like Milk Thistle and Dandelion, and immune system tonics like Echinacea and Astragalus.  

What are C-Caps?

C-Caps contain a combination of especially selected herbs known for their immune tonic properties, ability to promote vitality and health, and for their cleansing and purifying actions. Each promotes health in all cells, tissues, and organs in the body. Many of these herbs have been used for centuries in traditional medicine and subjected to clinical research.

 

Can C-Caps cure cancer?

This is not a claim that we can make. Cancer is a serious illness, and while the ingredients in C-Caps have shown very promising results in clinical trials, we recommend that they be used as supportive therapy to promote the overall health and vitality of your pet. Please advise your vet that you are using C-Caps for your pet so that he or she can monitor results.

 

• Astragalus membranaceous (Huang Qi) is well known in traditional Chinese medicine. More recent research has highlighted the ability of this remedy to support the functioning of the immune system and its ability to protect against disease. Astragalus also helps to maintain blood sugar and blood pressure levels within the normal range, support vitality and a healthy appetite and maintain regular water metabolism.

• Viscum album (Mistletoe) is used to support normal blood pressure and maintain a healthy immune system. Viscum album has been widely tested in both human and animal studies with many positive findings.  

• Echinacea purpurea is well known for its excellent benefits for immune functioning. Echinacea is also effective as a tonic for the lymphatic system. Regular use can help to keep your pet healthy and resistant to a range of illnesses.

• Withania somnifera (Indian ginseng) is one of the most important Ayurvedic tonic herbs, assisting with growth, health and vigor. Regular use can help to nourish the blood and support healthy hemoglobin levels. This herb is often recommended as a strengthening and restorative tonic.

• Sylibum marianus (Milk Thistle) is regarded as one of the most important herbal liver tonics and restoratives, and therapeutic use of Milk Thistle may be traced back more than 2000 years. Milk Thistle has been subject to many clinical trials which clearly demonstrate its effectiveness. Scientific analysis of Milk Thistle shows that it contains a flavonoid complex called silymarin, which is largely responsible for the therapeutic benefits of this herb. Silymarin is a powerful anti-oxidant and its positive effect on maintaining healthy liver functioning would have a direct impact on the overall systemic health of your pet as the liver is one of the most important organs in the body.

• Uncaria tormentosa (Cat's Claw) has been used by the natives of Peru for hundreds of years. Cat's Claw boasts many therapeutic benefits, among them its supportive role in maintaining immune system strength.

• Rice Powder (inactive ingredient)

How long until I see results?

Degree and speed of response differs from animal to animal, depending on many factors. With regular use, your pet should begin to show a gradual and observable improvement in health, appetite, and vitality.
