Promise Me a Miracle

I would like to introduce you to Promise short for Promise Me a Miracle.  Promises’ journey to the earth has been a very long and involved tale full of grief, trauma and absolute joy.

The following is Allyson’s account of how Promise came to be.

Hi Cathy

Please forgive the lapse of time since I said I would send a precis of Cosi’s story and the amazing result of years of persistence……  It has been of course a hectic time and lots going on, not to mention the way time flies when you find yourself sitting in a paddock watching a foal play. I swear sometimes Ive been there for days on end at a time….  !!!

The beginning of my journey with Cosi started the day I rescued her, many many years ago now, and found that the two horses we had to take her away from were her own filly and colt, two horses she had never been parted from in their lives.  The separation was due to her being shot through the neck and left to die in the bush, so of course not negotiable that we get her out of there for treatment.  Her agony at that parting made me promise to her that day, in the back yard of a friend who had room for a horse, that I would one day give her a foal she would not have to part with, ever.
What a can of worms I opened!!!!!!  From Central Australia to Queensland and back to WA we have travelled. During that time I started with normal breeding methods, then when they didn’t work we investigated reasons why and went a little left of centre in order to bring that foal into existence…  Until I was told by very highly qualified equine breeding specialists that the scarring in her uterus was beyond repair, and she would never ever have the foal I had promised her.
Still, an animal psychic friend in the States told me that she dreamed of Cosi with her OWN foal, and so I had a little voice in my mind saying “don’t give up”…
We tried everything… Herbs and red light therapy and massage and everything in between….  Prayers and rain dances and speaking out loud to Epona… Years passed….

Then we found YOU.

I don’t remember how long ago it was Cathy that I first told you of her plight, perhaps it was Monti (Allyson’s German Shepherd) I first contacted you about. I still have Cosi’s Healing Plan in all its complicated glory – perhaps I should frame it!!!!!!  I followed those instructions to the letter, after reading about homeopathy which at that time I knew absolutely nothing about. (Not that much has changed LOL)…..

December 2010, my beautiful girl slipped a foal, 7 months in utero, a beautiful black colt with a big white blaze just like his daddy….  but Phoenix, as I named him, was here for  a very special reason. He made Cosi ready for the next stage of what you made possible, by ensuring the previously inhospitable uterine wall, resembling leather in the past, was now ready, waiting, warm and soft.
12 months is a long time when you are focussed on every single change in a mare’s body and mind…  I almost went out of my own mind in the last few months as the time of Phoenix’s early birth came and went, but this little foal stayed put.  The vets had a guesstimate of mid November, so once again I started going grey, and the Moet remained in the fridge untouched.

Thursday December 23rd at 3.45am, after a dose of accident remedy to stave off any excessive labour pain, my beautiful Cosi finally realised the promise I had made to her 8 years ago, and Promise came into this world, amidst a still summer’s evening, hardly a whisper from her mother, but lots of tears from me.  I managed to come back to earth long enough to administer her remedy 13, retained placenta, just in case, but everything seemed perfect.

Her full name is “Promise Me A Miracle” and whilst she is still changing, it looks like she will be a Golden Buckskin… just what I had prayed for from a palomino mother and black as the ace of spades father.  She is everything I ever dreamed of, and more, but nothing will ever surpass the sheer love and joy I felt when I saw Cosi nurture that foal for the first time.  Cosi is the centre of my universe, no doubt about that, and without your help with her specific healing plan and continued backup, none of this would have happened.

Cathy, is it any wonder that I tell everyone about you, everyone who needs help, be it for themselves, or their beloved animals. Anyone who needs a miracle, when they have run out of hope.  You have helped create a miracle, in a little paddock in Mundijong WA, that has helped heal the hearts of a beautiful mare and her eternally grateful and blissfully happy owner.  I can never, ever, thank you enough from the bottom of my heart.  Love Allyson

Stopping the lambs from dying

I wanted to share with you my experience with one of our farming clients, Scott Macansh who owns Deepwater Station in Deepwater, NSW.

It was in March 2011 that I received a call from Scott. After introductions, I asked him what I could do to help him. His answer, “I need you to stop my lambs from dying”. OKAY! This out of the blue. Could we do it?? What was wrong with his lambs?? Scott is a young, proactive farmer who was working with every expert available and he called us, out of sheer desperation to save his livelihood. At this point Scott had lost 500 lambs.

So, I got him to email me a photo of his sheep. Not the whole flock, just a good sample that were unwell. It took me 10 mins to determine the bacteria that was killing these lambs. It was Heliobacter. This bacteria breaks down the lining of the stomach. I quickly got back to Scott who was quite amazed that I could pick this up so fast.

The following morning Scott made the 6 hour round trip to pick up the energy version of the heliobacter bacteria. His words as he walked out our door, and I will never forget them were, “Even if I don’t believe in these remedies, will they still work”. We smiled at him and said ‘yes’.

He returned home and drenched the remedy into half of his lambs. He lost one or two that were very weak on the way through the yards but the rest immediately started to bounce. The balance were done the following day and the deaths stopped. Just like that.

The next step was to heal the internal damage caused by the bacteria and most importantly find out where the bacteria came from and see if we could stop it. A healing plan was created for Scott to run through the trough water for these lambs and a farm visit attended by Eric 5 days later.

What Eric found when he got there was a settling pond that fed from the town waste water. During the recent floods in January the settling pond had flooded over the paddocks around it and this is where the stock were picking up the bacteria. We found many other bacterias and chemicals in the settling pond when we tested it. Not tested as in standard water testing but muscle tested, like we did with the sheep.

All Scotts’ sheep healed beautifully. We worked on the ewes, the cattle and even the rams to bring them up to a better level of health. This has been ongoing as we work through the layers of current and inherited (cellular stored) issues but with every step his stock are looking better.

In September when the lambs above were shorn, their wool was white and bright and had grown perfectly since the lambs were healed. His ewes which we also treated, had bright, white wool with not imperfections – no dermatitis or any of the older existing issues.

In farming sometimes you get as many losses in a wet season as you do in a dry season. Scotts’ new lambs (September/October 2011), were nice and small, no lambing problems. Considering the good feed season Scott was expecting many birthing problems due to oversized lambs. In the area, there was a lot of loss of cattle with bloat and bloat related issues, but Scott had none of these problems. Scott has a Farmers Pack and has been trained in muscle testing to assist with remedy choices to improve the day to day running of his farm.

In July, we proposed to run healing plans on Scotts’ paddocks as a trial. He did the soil tests and we provided the remedies. The changes in the soil structure were quite remarkable after just two treatments (same remedies), so we are continuing on with our trials in this area and will update this post when we know more.

Treating OCD in a dog

Atlas was diagnosed with OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) and heavy suppressive medication was prescribed.  His owner Liz is a client of ours but didn’t immediately consider us for treating Atlas.  Another client and friend of Liz’s suggested we were worth trying in this complicated issue with Atlas.

Here is Liz’s email after running Atlas’s first healing plan:

Atlas & I went for a walk today.

Walking since he was 6 months old has been on a black dog training halter & he is 4yrs on 6th November 2011.

A normal walk consisted of Atlas grabbing at the lead to take in his mouth at every street crossing or cars passing us, head on a constant swivel, sideways, backwards etc. grabbing grass mouthfuls as we walked, then coming home to stop him running is obsessive compulsive circles, jumping at a non existant spot on the ground & then running more circles, so I used to crate him for 1/2hr to calm him before he was allowed back in the yard.

Today was AMAZING.

Halter on him, but lead of 20cm from handle to tip of clip was on his FLAT COLLAR. After about 20 mins into a 45min walk, I took the halter off his head. Atlas only grabbed the lead ONCE at the beginning of the walk & made eye contact & let go of the lead, I did not even have time to signal him to let go, he did it on his own.

I have to say he was watchful, but not head on a FAST SWIVEL as was ‘normal’ before, there was NO fast swivel, yes he looked from side to side & every so often checked behind us.

At one stage I dropped the lead to put a poo bag in a bin & before that would have been enough for him to TAKE OFF running circles on me, but this time we KEPT eye contact & he just stood next to me & never moved —- YIPPPPPPEEEEEEE.

We walked in rain mizzle, no rain & it was just BEAUTIFUL.

He also used to grab mouthfuls of grass as we walked, this only happened twice & then only ONE blade of grass. I noticed he moved closer to me when cars came past us & was so CALM — cars have always been a ‘stresser’ for Atlas.

Treats on the walk, I still have FINGERS, he was GENTLE — that is a FIRST, I have always had a crocodile teeth cattle dog, but NOT TODAY —- MORE YIPPPPPEEEEEEES.

We came home & today I did the ‘unthinkable’, we went straight out into the yard, I unclipped the lead, & offered a treat, which was taken, he had a drink & picked up a toy to play, ate more treats, —— there was NO stress RUNNING, no CIRCLING, I had a CALM dog — again I have NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE.

WOW, I am amazed & pleased & so so super happy. I have a different, calmer, more snuggly cuddly, loving dog — thank you so very very much.

Treatment of Ringworm on Horses

Rachel who’s horse Travolta we had treated for sarcoids was exposed to Ringworm at a polocrosse carnival.  Here is the case study of this event.

On 14th June we got this message from Rachel:

Just a quick question re RINGWORM? Poor Travolta caught it from last polox outing i’m assuming cause he’s not been anywhere else! I’ll have to wash him in imaverol today as it has really spread.. Horrible stuff :(

It spread so badly over the past 3 days I am desperate to help him ASAP. The ringworms have spread thickly from his shoulder up his neck and down to knee. Many many lesions. raised bumps that are eventually losing hair in the centre. Now some on his flank. i am just worried that if i leave it any longer he will be covered in them.

I didn’t really want to use chemical but I must admit, the ‘old ways’ mentality snuck back in when i saw the ringworms pop up everywhere, just wanted them gone!! :)

I wish I had have contacted you earlier about this but I suppose I thought it would go away…. not so lucky!!! Fingers crossed he gets his act together and starts healing :) Don’t like seeing the ugly lesions on his not-so-long-ago ‘gleaming’ coat!!

This all happened at a very tricky time for us because we were moving house and the above emails came in during the day the removalists arrived.  We stayed up late that night to do a review with half our healing stuff unpacked and posted off a plan with remedies for Travolta the following day.

Here is an update from Rachel on 5th July – 21 days later:

Trav’s ring worms have mostly cleared up however there looks like there may be a few newish ones in places. I had to clip him over the weekend as I had to start working him again this week so I got a better look of his coat. I’m hoping he doesnt get another spread of them again.

Then on 25th July:

I’ve sent a few pics for you of Trav’s ringworm, this was taken about 2 weeks ago so now the hair has grown back where the lesions were. There are two scabby circles on his shoulder and rump that could be the last of it. So all good I think :)

These are the photos of Travolta that Rachel took after the ringworm had cleared and started to heal.  Unfortunately there are no photos of Travolta during the healing crisis.

 

 

 

 

When bacterias are caught while away from home like this, we can quickly identify the problem and any other health issue caused by the bacteria and provide remedies very quickly to release the health crisis.

Rachel has continued on with Travolta’s healing plans.  He is a horse that plays hard for his owner and will cope much better and for longer with polocrosse because of constantly keeping his health – both emotional and physical in hand.

Treatment for sarcoids in horses

Here is a case study about Travolta.  A polocrosse horse with the Gold Coast polocrosse team.

Travolta’s owner Rachel sent us this email on 7 March 2011:

I was just now wondering if you might have any suggestions for my 5yr old gelding that has had a history of melanomas from a young age. When he was 3 he had a ‘mango’ sized melanoma removed from his stifle area (vets had never seen such a lesion in a horse so young). He had an examination last Friday (4/3/11) and the vet was happy with the surgery site however there are some small lumps visible on other areas of his body which the vet thinks are probably melanomas and sarcoids. He suggests leaving them unless they have a sudden change in size.

We found a number of things going on with Travolta, not just the sarcoids.  There were old injuries that needed healing as well as surgery issues that needed clearing.  It was decided to run a series of Personalised Healing plans on Travolta to really get him well and ready for competition.  Here is what Rachel said after 14 days on the plan:

It is day 14 of Travolta’s healing plan today and all seems to be going well :) I’ve finished the course of the eye tonic now. His eyes look better than ever atm! Clear and gorgeous (love horse eyes lol).

We continued on after the first plan with a second and here is what Rachel emailed us after he started his second plan:

Travolta is into his second healing plan and looks great. His coat is glowing and just seems to have the most amazing temperament these days. Quiet, willing and a pleasure to have around.

One of the sarcoid areas is completely covered in hair now and the lumps under the skin have decreased in size. The two wart like ones have definitely decreased in size also and are starting to get crusty and the hair is growing in the circle around them. I think a huge improvement. I haven’t noticed any new lesions lately and that is a wonderful feeling as before I contacted you I was finding new ones every few days. In summary any that were already there have improved and no new ones have appeared!! This is the best outcome I could have ever wished for.

 

Two weeks after this photo was taken Rachel emailed me about a bad case of Ringworm that was running riot throughout the polocrosse competitions and Travolta had come down with the bacteria.  To read how this all unfolded click here.

Healing itchy skin on dogs

When I contacted Cathy I had exhausted every avenue to cure my 6 year old foxy Novas consistent itch from his ears to his toes! this itch developed over 3-4 years and just became uncontrollable, he was so distressed and unhappy. The only solution the vet offered was cortisone for life, this wasn’t an option for me because of its horrific side effects, that’s when I found Cathy. After 6 long and sometimes distressing months ( for both Nova and me) of following Cathy’s healing plans and advice we are finally itch free. I have my happy little foxy back, he is thinner, happier, his coat shines and he also smells better. Cathy was there every step of the way with advice and reassurance answering my emails within minutes.

When you think you want to give up, keep going because every moment and cent spent is so worth it in the end. Nova and I Thank you sincerely.
Kate

 

As you can imagine we get inquiries almost daily about healing itchy bodies – dogs, horses, cats, guinea pigs and of course people.  I won’t go into exhaustive detail about itch as I have done that on another page.  Click here to read that page.  What I would like to mention here is that sometimes we can clear itch conditions with very basic remedies – give the body a good detox and clear up the skin.  If the itch has been there for a long period then more specific treatment will be required.  Remember the itch didn’t arrive overnight.  Sometimes the itch can be around for years and one remedy is not going to cut it for a long term healing.  Please just keep in mind that it took time to get to where you are now and although we can heal it in a quicker time, it will take time.

Nova had a combination of The Itchy Pet Kit treatments and healing plans.  If you want to see what is the best treatment for your itchy body then drop us an email at healwithease@bigpond.com with some background and we will guide you from there.

 

Healing Bailey after removal of a cancerous tumour

I came to Heal with Ease in a rather different way.  I had been researching a different diet for our best buddy Bailley following a diagnosis of a fatty lipoma located on his ribs.  This had come a few short months after a cancerous tumour had to be removed which surrounded his jugular.  A very stressful time for us and we wanted to do the best we could for Bailley.  Our aim was to find a diet that removed all processed foods and would support him in his recoveries and assist his body in fighting off future problems.

When I found Cathy we found so much more, a wealth of knowledge with such caring and compassion.  I believe that Cathy not only healed Bailley but also me, she helped me understand what was happening and how I could work with Bailley’s healing.  During Bailley’s healing plans he developed a lump on his leg around the joint. Cathy was there for us when I had so many questions and trying to decide what our next step would be, through tears and early morning emails.  Cathy supported my decision to involve our vet for a non-invasive biopsy.  Cathy assured me the lump was not cancer, something I was so very scared of.  The results came back as a fatty lipoma our vet was recommending that we continue to observe the lump and consider surgery if the lump grew.

Its been three months now and we have completed another healing plan for Bailley. He is really well, he has a natural diet combining both raw and cooked food, we no longer give him worming tablets but rather use the remedies we received from Cathy once a fortnight.  We continue to monitor his lumps and bumps and they have changed but not grown.  His coat, skin and eyes are looking wonderful and the vet cannot say enough about how healthy he looks. I have used the kit not only for Bailley during times of stress but have also used it for myself, it is a valuable resource which I go to first.  It was quite funny recently when I was feeling a little unwell I asked my husband to look at the kit and find a remedy for my sore tummy, he came back with one of the remedies and followed instructions perfectly proceeding to put a drop on my nose.  I have to report it did work but it may have been more comfortable under my tongue.

I cannot thank Cathy enough for what she has done for our family I think we would of been looking at a very different situation had we not found her when we did.

Kelpie with Kennel Cough

Mac the Kelpie comes down with Kennel Cough

I’ve just sent through an order for some more remedies, but just wanted to send you a little note to thank you for the HWE tonic. My 8mo kelpie pup was exposed to a friend’s dog with a strong kennel cough. When I was told a few days later, I noticed he was snorting like a piggy, so I started the HWE drops and it went in a day or so. He then went away to a woman to be looked after for 4 days as I had to go interstate, who wasn’t able to give him the drops, so when he came back he had it again, quite badly, so I started on the HWE drops again, and it went in a day and a half. Very happy customer.

Help for a Retired Race Horse

Mace is a thoroughbred Gelding who was destined for the Dogger’s after developing hip problems during his racing career.  How could they even consider destroying such a beautiful animal – so to our home he came and with that a number of problems.  Having been stabled, hard fed and only knowing one speed for much of his 7 years it was a huge job to re-programme and teach him it was ok to be a real horse!!!  My first ride resulted in me spending a couple of days in hospital after a good fall from a horse that was frantic at being in the real world, not being asked to go flat out and coming off the high potency hard feed he had been used to.  A good friend of mine recommended I contact Cathy and have her take a look at him.  Of course there were immense problems so Cathy devised a plan starting with a complete detox and tonic, numerous remedies to assist his inner being and with the added frustration of wet weather (rain scald) and buffalo flies, remedies to assist in that area also……..  Our healing for Mace had begun and within a couple of weeks his temperament changed dramatically, he lost his frenetic jumpy energy and became calm and manageable.  To administer the remedies I needed to put a dropper or spray into his mouth which initially was met with much resistance.  After a short time he knew what was expected and would open his mouth without any prompting at all.  Quite hilarious to witness.  Obviously feeling better became a priority for him as well.   Flies biting and Rain Scald are a thing of the past and after 2 healing plans  we now have a beautiful placid, healthy and loving horse. His coat, mane and tail are now silky and shiny and this is NOT a result of washing/conditioning.  Purely a result of the remedies and of course loving care.

A couple of days ago Mace was seen eating Frangipani branches and the milk sap has affected his nose/mouth area seriously.  I phoned Cathy and true to form nothing was too much trouble altho’ she was extremely busy.  She looked then and there at what I should do, I gave him the correct remedy and 3 days later he almost fully recovered.

As a footnote – both myself and partner are now on plans to assist our bodies to be the best they can and already varicose veins are disappearing, skin and hair are glowing and an overall feeling of well being is taking place.

Cathy is my earth Angel and to know that our bodies can be assisted without the aid of doctors/chemicals and hugely expensive veterinary bills is undoubtedly a bonus.

I give thanks to Cathy every day for her generous spirit, unfailing desire to help all animals and people alike and her gift for healing is truly a blessing.
