'DOG' RESOLVES PANNUS DISEASE

21/5/2021

PictureDog selected Arnica Co2 as a key herbal extract to resolve Pannus
CASE STUDY : Remarkable resolution of PANNUS. So this is 'Dog' as she is affectionately known! A beautiful GS that came to me for Zoopharmacognosy after being diagnosed by her Vet with Pannus (autoimmune disease resulting in blindness normally considered incurable). Dog was knocking into walls etc and needless to say, she and all her human family members were finding this rapidly progressive blindness extremely distressing (deteriorated within 3 weeks).  They took Dog to the vet whom prescribed an immunosuppressant to be applied topically which Berenice and her family administered as directed. Berenice then contacted me to see if there was anything Zoopharmacognosy could do. After consultation with our Team Vet Annett, we decided it would be safe to offer plant extracts to see how/if they could help. Annett said that the key to resolution was to redirect the immune response. Within 10 days of the Zoopharmacognosy session, Dog's eyes became fully clear and to date her sight is fully restored. Berenice says: "Before zoopharmacognosy her coat was completely dry and dull and she was so skinny you could see and feel her bones. In a few days she’s basically back to normal with her eyesight fully restored, and her personality is bigger than ever , and even the vet is shocked, her words were she’s never seen any recovery that quick."
It is important to note that the initial session starts the process of resolution in motion. It is the willingness of 'Dog' to engage and the dedication of her owner over the following week or so to continue offering the extracts that creates the best possible outcome - which happily in Dog's case was her eyesight being restored.
​So well done Team Dog!

Hi there,
I have a dog with pretty advanced pannus and was wondering how you managed to heal the other German Shepherd. I have tried so many different alternative treatments. I believe i have slowed down the progression somewhat, but has he ages it's getting worse and worse.

Hi Naomi, this particular dog selected various extracts to support him using the Applied Zoopharmacognosy approach. I am very sorry to hear that your dog has advanced Pannus. If you wish to try this approach please book in a session by emailing whitethornherbals@gmail com where I can send you a PDF laying out your options for a session for your dog. Kind regards Carly

I have a 5yr old white GSD who is being treated for an eye infection in both eyes to hopefully try to rule out pannus. We go back for a recheck on Friday & see where to go from there. I am not much on modern medicine a & would love to know more about Applied Zoopharmacognosy.

    Hi! My name is Carly and I head up the Whitethorn Team. I am also a life long lover of Dogs and Horses. When my mare was having regular episodes of Colic I looked around for a solution and found Applied Zoopharmacognosy (also called the self-selection method and free choice botanicals). I was so impressed that I trained in this fascinating effective herbal approach and have gone on now to train others. That was over a decade ago  and I am now part of the Whitethorn Team and work with horses and dogs all over the world to help them restore emotional and physical health. As part of the support we offer, we also supply herbal remedies at our online shop along with providing workshops and one-to-one mentoring (Onsite & Online) on how to work with them.  We truly hope that you enjoy and maybe learn a little from our blog. Carly and the Whitethorn Team, Sligo Ireland
