The most efficient solution to the allergy problem in our pets would be to fix their faulty immune systems—the computers that have, so to speak, gone awry in our pets’ bodies. And that’s why holistic solutions, particularly Allergy Elimination 4 Pets, can be especially effective. An easy way to understand Allergy Elimination 4 Pets is to make the parallel example of doing a virus search on your computer to clean up the glitches. Allergy Elimination 4 Pets works to clean up and straighten out your pet’s computer.

It’s interesting to note that when we enter the realm of energetic holistic medicine, we leave the field of biology and enter the field of physics. Every day, new research in physics challenges old beliefs about how the body works and heals. Even though the Chinese recognized energy pathways (called acupuncture meridians) more than 6,000 years ago, it has taken the advent of new scientific methodologies to recognize how changes in energy fields affect and determine health.

The autonomic nervous system plays an integral role in recognizing what the body’s computer has deemed enemies. It then calls the immune system into action to defend the body against the enemy.

Allergy-elimination corrects the autonomic nervous system’s perception of the allergic substance so it is no longer perceived as a threat. It all happens within the realm of physics on an energetic level, and it translates into physical healing. Each treatment teaches your pet’s body that an allergen is a friend rather than an enemy.

The technique I have designed and use is called Allergy Elimination 4 Pets.

The typical scenario of the owner of an allergic pet is a path of avoidance—and it’s a lifelong job. It simply doesn’t have to be that way. If you’ve been dealing with your pet’s allergies for years, it may be hard for you to believe that there exists an allergy-elimination technique that transforms an allergic pet into a nonallergic pet. It may seem too good to be true that you can turn your pet’s chronic problems around, but it happens all the time.

After first identifying a pet’s allergy triggers through muscle response testing (applied kinesiology), I work with the pet owner to correct the blockages or imbalances. I do this by correcting the immune system’s misperception of the allergen, which, in effect, enables the body to heal itself by restoring the unrestricted flow of energy. Think of it as corrective reprogramming.

It all happens within the realm of physics on an energetic level and translates into physical healing. A specific program is created for each pet. The energetic resonance of each allergen combination that your pet needs is placed in a vial. The vial containing the allergen is placed directly on the animal, and specific acupuncture points on the body are lightly stimulated. This

readjusts the autonomic nervous system’s perception of the substance, and the allergic reaction to the substance is eliminated. It may be amazing to learn that something so simple can work so well, but the proof is in the rewarding results.

The first step is identifying the substances to which the patient is allergic. In the first comprehensive assessment on approximately 2000 items.

designed for this purpose are checked using muscle response testing. So what exactly is muscle response testing?

Professional medical doctors, chiropractors, acupuncturists, and veterinarians use muscle response testing, or applied kinesiology, to determine exactly what a person or pet is allergic to. The inventor of applied kinesiology is George Goodheart, Jr., DC, a Detroit chiropractor. After his first seminar in 1974, many other practitioners began using the technique with great success to determine the causes of problems that had previously seemed to defy diagnosis.

In the decades since then, this method of testing for the causes of various conditions has blossomed into a major diagnostic art, with many more medical professionals, including veterinarians, adopting it in their practices. (The book Your Body Doesn’tLie by John Diamond, MD, is an excellent source of information on the subject.) Allergy-elimination treatments do not only relieve the symptoms but also correct the inappropriate response.

I’ve been practicing different varieties of allergy elimination techniques for so many years, and, with my extensive clinical experience, I pretty well know what vials need to be used with most dogs or cats with allergies. That’s good news for you and your pet because my protocol has been tested over time with many, many patients.

After I’ve identified the allergens through muscle response testing, I decide in which order to treat the allergens and create a program for the patient. I then mail the vials to the pet owner along with clear instructions on how to gently massage easy-to-find acupuncture points (cats particularly appreciate this!) and carry out the treatment in the comfort of his or her home.

Truman’s Story, Told by His Owner

Truman is a Bouvier des Flandres. He was six years old when we began Dr. Khalsa’s Allergy Elimination 4 Pets technique.
We brought Truman home as a puppy in October 2008, and in November 2008 he began frantically biting at his rear legs and licking and chewing on his feet. Many times, his feet would be raw from chewing. He

had constant ear infections and suffered from terrible gas, accompanied by soft and runny stools. After countless visits to a slew of different veterinarians, the episodes of chewing and gas continued.

We tried different foods, including grain- free and limited-ingredient diets, with no improvement. Before I went to Dr. Khalsa, another veterinarian treated him and changed his diet to all-beef raw. I gave the raw diet for more than two months, but the stool problems, gas, and itching remained.

Many years ago, when Dr. Khalsa had her practice in Yardley, Pennsylvania, she was my veterinarian for many of my cats and dogs. I would drive an hour and a half each way because the drive was worth it to have her treat my pet kids. In April of 2014, I reached out to Dr. Khalsa again and scheduled a phone consult with her to discuss Truman’s itching, chewing, and gas. We discussed her Allergy Elimination 4 Pets technique, and I decided to go with it. The great part was that I could do it all at home.

After the Allergy Elimination treatment, I slowly started introducing different foods into Truman’s diet. Finally, more than six years after we brought Truman into our life, he is itch-free, he no longer chews his feet, and he has no more horrible episodes of gas. He eats a raw diet with protein sources other than strictly beef. I add vegetables and garlic to his diet, and I give him Deserving Pets Canine Everyday Essentials supplements.

Many veterinarians prescribe drugs that mask the symptoms rather than cure the ailment. After years of Truman’s suffering, going to numerous veterinarians, and having him tested, all it took was a phone consultation with Dr. Khalsa to find the treatment that finally gave Truman the relief I had sought for years. Dr. Khalsa offered a drug-free approach to freeing Truman of his allergies.

Goose’s Story, Told by His Owner

Goose, our gray cat with green eyes, started plucking tufts of hair from his back around the age of one. At first, it was occasional and hardly even noticeable. As the problem escalated, I would come home from work to find piles of hair in all of his usual hangouts.

the food was working? Some hair would start to grow back, and then, suddenly, the telltale piles would appear again, often accompanied by bouts of diarrhea and almost daily vomiting.

Goose was scrawny, usually weighing around 7 pounds, and the 2 × 4-inch bald patch on his back was beyond unsightly. This ebb-and-flow cycle continued for more than two years.

We concluded that Goose’s allergies were partly food-related and partly seasonal. We would control what we could with diet and then medicate through the bad stretches. I knew he didn’t feel well, but I was helpless and certain that we had exhausted our options.

Then I found Dr. Khalsa and had a consult. She did Allergy Elimination 4 Pets with Goose. My husband, who wasn’t into holistic practices, had a field day with my journey into the world of holistic veterinary medicine. He delighted in telling friends and family that I had invented new and unusual ways to spend money on our cat.

As we did the treatments (totally noninvasive, by the way), my husband adopted the same look each night: part resignation and part disgust. Our friends were in stitches over the stories of these holistic treatments, and I played along, figuring that, at the very least, I had bought a great way to entertain others.

But then…

Before we knew it, months had passed without Goose plucking one hair. I thought maybe it was just an unusually long good stretch, and surely it was only a matter of time before I would happen upon a nest of plucked hair and feel the wave of dread wash over me (I can be pretty dramatic). But there was no denying it: this was out of the ordinary. Not only had Goose’s hair grown in, but he was filling out, had stopped vomiting, and was playing like a kitten.

I was so afraid of a relapse that I said nothing, figuratively holding my breath with hope. When Goose had his regular check-up, he had gained more than a pound. Really? My mother, who affectionately referred to Goose as “Rat” because of his pathetic appearance, remarked, “That’s not

Goose’s gray coat is now healthy, full, and shiny.

To watch him do it was painful. He would attack his back and rip the hair in frenetic bursts. My cat was self-mutilating.

I made an appointment with my regular veterinarian. She did blood tests, fungus tests, bacteria tests, parasite tests, even IQ tests (just kidding)—all were inconclusive. My vet’s best guess was food allergies.

We started trying different prescription limited-ingredient diets. We had three cats at the time, and there was always
one of them who didn’t like the food. Separate feedings were nightmarish.

Weeks would pass, and it would seem as if the plucking was subsiding. Maybe the same cat.” I welled up when a friend, fishing for the latest comedic update, inquired, “How’s kitty’s treatment going?” and my husband answered, “I think it worked.”

Maddie’s Story, Told by Her Owner

At our first appointment with Dr. Khalsa, we read some testimonials and prayed that someday we could also write one. I had been brainwashed to believe that traditional medicine was the best and only way to treat our four-year-old English Bulldog, Maddie. The nightmare had started in July 2000, when 44-pound Maddie developed an extreme case of diarrhea. Every time we stopped the medication that our veterinarian gave us, her stools became liquid. Her weight plummeted
to 35 pounds in three weeks. Blood tests showed elevated pancreatic and liver enzymes with the albumen and total protein in her blood dropping. Our regular vet recommended that we see a gastrointestinal specialist, so we made an appointment immediately.

Maddie was diagnosed with an extreme case of IBD and a small liver, which could complicate things due to the medication that the vet prescribed: prednisolone, azathioprine, furosemide, metronidazole, and metoclopamide. The specialist told us that this approach was around 70 percent successful and that it would take a month to see results. Two weeks after beginning the medications, she was down to 32 pounds. The fluid in her abdomen worsened, and she was now vomiting.

In late August, Maddie went into convulsions, and we drove her to a renowned veterinary hospital in our area. After three days there, she was rediagnosed with the same problems plus lymphangiectasia, a condition in which the GI tract loses its ability to absorb nutrients. Four weeks of treatment in intensive care and $14,000 later, the vets recommended that we put Maddie to sleep. She now weighed 25 pounds and was just skin and bone. We took her home and kept her alive with calcium injections and special intravenous feedings that would increase the protein in her blood.

In mid-October, Maddie had her first appointment with Dr. Khalsa and began Allergy Elimination 4 Pets treatments. After the first treatment, Maddie’s condition remained stable, and on some days she had semiformed stools and some energy. Her leaky gut also began to stabilize. After just two treatments, we were able to stop the calcium injections and special IV feedings. Her blood-test results started moving toward normal. By January 2001, Maddie no longer needed any medications. She weighed 36 pounds and was jumping on the sofa and playing like she used to.

(Dr. Khalsa’s note: Maddie went on to live a normal, long life, and she died at a ripe old age for an English Bulldog.)

The Path to Relief

Owners of allergic pets: I’ve created this blog just for you—to fully educate you about allergies and sensitivities. We’ll talk about how to prevent them, how to treat them, and why they’re so awfully common in today’s world. . I hope, someday you can have a success story like Truman’s, Goose’s, or Maddie’s.

Allergies, food sensitivities and food intolerances can cause both itching(ATOPY) and GI problems in both dogs and cats.

Additionally, dogs and cats can be allergic to mold, dust, insects, grass, weeds and hundreds of other environmental substances. 

All pet allergies have a common denominator: an animal who has lost the ability to cope with his or her environment. 

They all add up. Changing one protein in the diet does not fix it. In fact, there is nary a dog or cat who is exhibiting symptoms who is allergic to just one, or a few, food items.

There are pet parents who think their dog must have only environmental allergies, because their dog only itches in the spring and fall. In fact, the pollens in the spring or the leaves [mold] in the fall are what pushed the system above the threshold line. Food allergies, in this case, simply don’t add up enough to start the scratch cycle. Add the spring pollens and they trigger the itching.

The best way to understand allergies is to understand how the immune system works. So, let me compare the immune system to a computer. Much like how a computer processes and recalls data, an immune system will identify and remember various enemies. That’s why if we get measles once, we won’t ever get this illness again—the immune system sees the measles germs trying to get a foot in the door, recognizes them as an enemy, and slams the door in their face. The immune system remembers the measles from the previous infection and handles the problem immediately. 

In the case of allergies, the immune system incorrectly processes and registers “good guys” as enemies. Foods, pollens, and grasses, among others, are identified by the body as threats (allergens). These threats warrant responses, and the subsequent responses cause inflammation and other allergic symptoms. The immune system becomes a virus-corrupted computer. 

Consider the young child who has a severe reaction to peanuts. His friend can eat a peanut butter sandwich without any ill effects. That’s because the computer of his friend’s immune systems hasn’t logged the peanut in as an enemy. The problem isn’t the peanut itself. Rather, it’s the way that the immune system recognizes the peanut. 

Today’s pets are experiencing more allergies because there are simply more ways to confuse their immune systems. Nature never designed our pets’ systems to be exposed to so many vaccinations, chemicals and pesticides on a routine basis. A confused immune system results in an increased number of items that are logged in as enemies. All of these incorrectly logged-in enemies—allergens—can individually cause an allergic reaction in our pet’s body, and each individual item adds to the allergic burden.  

Most allergic dogs and cats are allergic to numerous things. But, simply eating the problematic foods may not be enough in itself to get their immune systems aggravated to the point where itching or diarrhea occurs.  However, when even more allergens, such as additional food triggers or environmental allergens (e.g., seasonal pollens and molds) are added to the mix, the total number of allergens present will reach high enough concentrations to bring on those allergic symptoms, such as chronic itching.  

The foods play a big part in the overall allergic reaction, while the pollens, dust, dust mites and other environmental triggers are the straws that break the camel’s back. 

Allergies, food sensitivities and food intolerances are cumulative. An example is a cat who is very sensitive to fish and less sensitive to beef. The sum of the whole occurs when a tiny bit of fish used for flavoring the food along with the beef causes an allergic response, resulting in chronic diarrhea. Because when enough allergens are present, they will exceed the body’s threshold.
