Hi everyone-
During last week's webinar about how to help your pets with emergencies we briefly discussed a super important idea. It is the basis for prevention and management of most pet health challenges. It's also a bit of a different perspective on things we already know from the research to reduce risk.
That is the concept of using mitochondrial management to decrease your pets' risk on a molecular level.
By improving function of mitochondria you can increase cellular energy to improve functioning of all cells like those of the immune system.
Doing so can decrease sensitivity to environmental influences like toxins, vaccines, drugs, symptom suppression, etc. Say goodbye to the "canary in a coal mine" situation (canaries were used as super sensitive indicators of potentially fatal gas leaks).

This is a very, very useful concept that is being really well defined both on the cellular, individual and community levels by research.
Last week's webinar discussed the one sure-fire way to reduce symptoms and susceptibility to emergencies. That is by building and balancing energy in your pets' bodies (that's why this post is in the homeopathy folder since this is the basis for the vet framework used by homeopaths as well as conventional docs).
For example, some pets and people have "stronger" (and less sensitive) stomachs than others. Two people can eat the same food containing the exact same ingredients and one may get super sick and the other is fine. The person who gets sick is more susceptible related to their individuality and cellular function.
There are very specific actions that we can do to improve functioning of the body and reduce susceptibility.
Let's take an example from an event that happened to me in 1987. It's an example of what happens when you do just the opposite.
That year I was in the hospital with an orthopedic surgeon standing on my chest saying "Don't resist".
He was referring to wanting me to relax my shoulder girdle muscles so he could easily "pop" my dislocated shoulder back into place.
I had fallen and dislocated my left shoulder (this was before I knew that I was super susceptible to falling due to a genetic imbalance called SCA).
However I couldn’t stop clenching and tightening my muscles so he was unable to quickly fix me.
Back at Norwalk Hospital the surgeon decided that I would need to be knocked out in order to get the relaxation he needed. They called the anesthesiologist, so we all then just waited in the ER. I was destined to ruin the surgeon's night (he was at a dinner party when he was paged).
They finally replaced my shoulder and I was sent home with it in a sling. The doctor told me to keep it immobile and he would see me in 6 weeks.
When I went back, my shoulder was frozen into place and required 6 months of PT to almost get back to near normal (the shoulder's range of motion is still restricted).
I am sharing this short story because the surgeon's statements and treatment are relevant for our HA! Community. They are important examples of exactly what we often need to do for our pets. That is, "Don't Resist" or work against the body.
We can help them relax by stimulating the rest, restore and regenerate reflex. It's easy to help them continue moving forward towards balance and healing by not being limited by symptoms, dis-eases and diagnoses).
Things like optimizing Connection, Happiness, and Engagement (CHE/Qi) using actions like going on Therapeutic Sniff Walks, using the snuffle mat, playing the hunt for treats game, stimulating purring, feeding Happy Meals, etc. all do the same thing. They help all of the systems in the body work better together. Cellular cooperation, or what in molecular biology and physics we call coherence (of life, light, etc.).
This simple yet super complex concept is corroborated by research findings in seemingly separate areas such as psychoneuroimmunology, positive psychology, flow, Radical Remission, Blue Zones, etc.
The super cool thing is that it is all summed up in the simple statement:
"Go With The Flow".
Doing so will decreases resistance and susceptibility and can increase mitochondrial metabolism and energy.
There are many examples in nature such as a smoothly flowing rivers. This smooth flow is also called cohesive flow which in the physics of particle flow is called "laminar" flow. This is in contrast to the "turbulent" flow of water that has been obstructed by a rock, log or other obstacle which provides resistance.
This is only one small example of the potential power of nature and smooth flow. Slow and steady wins the race. Truly.
Many examples of the power of smooth flow are present all around us. For example, lazily flowing rivers that, over time, can carve out great gorges such as The Grand Canyon (thanks to the perseverance by the CO river).
Of course the river does not see this as persisting in a goal but rather that is doing what comes naturally. It. flows and when unobstructed over time great things can result.
All of nature, including animals like dogs and cats are this way.
If we can let their bodies flow unobstructed, as they naturally will do, balance, wellness and great resilience results.
The natural world has given us a beautiful roadmap, all we need to do is to follow the signposts (of symptoms) in order to help our pets be as good as the universe and nature intends them to be.

Canary in a modern Coal mine… when weakness is strength
The canary in a coal mine is a highly illustrative metaphor that I frequently use with my clients to explain susceptibility to certain illnesses due to inherent sensitivity, reactivity and responsiveness. It conveys a message about when weakness can be a strength.The metaphor comes from coal...
