Disc- Intervertebral Inflammation (with MUSCLE pain) Set 5.

A carefully selected blend of natural, plant and mineral ingredients, traditionally known for supporting the immune system and inflammation.

Intervertebral Disk Disease (IVDD)

Weakness in joints and spine which cause Inflammation and pain in joints, spine area can be often associated with a vitamin or mineral deficiencies.   Thus continued vaccinations that severely deplete vitamin c and magnesium (stress), will make your dog more susceptible to injuries and tears.

Spinal Stenosis
Your dog’s spinal cord and connected nerve roots are contained within the spinal canal. When this canal narrows, compression on the spinal nerve roots results. The most typical area for this compression to occur is in the lumbosacral region where the pelvis and spine are connected, which is why the symptoms of spinal stenosis affect hind end function and mobility. Spinal stenosis can be a congenital condition, but it is more typically acquired later in life as the result of degenerative arthritis of the spine or intervertebral disc herniation. Spinal stenosis commonly afflicts large breeds, such as German shepherds and Rottweilers. Other causes of spinal compression include tumor growth in the spine and injury resulting from trauma.

Symptoms of Spinal Stenosis
The compression of spinal stenosis is painful and debilitating. Dogs who are afflicted will show reluctance to mount stairs, jump into the car or climb on furniture.  Lameness and weakness when walking and difficulty getting into the usual stance for defecation are typically observed as the rear leg muscles atrophy from minimal use. Your dog may appear stiff and slow to get up or lie down, and he may no longer be able to wag his tail when you greet him. Some dogs yelp if they make a move that incites pain.

Vitamin C

IMPORTANT Plus start oral dosing natural, plant - based formula - sodium ascorbate vitamin c powder - 2 teaspoons in a cup of filtered water, oral syringe side of mouth - min of 3 times day.   As Vitamin C dosen't stay in the body for long.   ORAL DOSE - 5ml toy dog or cat.    10ml for all other sizes  If mild or chronic condition - add to meals if too difficult to give orally.  Research has shown that high doses of vitamin C  given orally or in meals has been shown to reduce the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. We have had great improvement seen when vitamin C is restored back into the body

What does Vitamin C do?

Vitamin C is an anti-inflammatory that helps reduce and prevent inflammation and swelling.
Skin Conditions, weakness in joints and spine which cause "Inflammation" and "pain in joints", spine area can be often associated with a vitamin or mineral deficiencies.   Thus continued vaccinations that severely deplete vitamin c and magnesium (stress), will make your dog more susceptible to injuries and tears. This is an important part of pain relief, since most pain from acute injuries and chronic muscle, bone and joint pain results from inflammation.  In addition to helping relieve pain, Vitamin C stimulates collagen growth. Collagen forms the connective tissue cushion between joints. This cushion is the tissue that is eroded in dogs who have arthritis and other degenerative joint disorders. The collagen must be healed and regrown in order for your dog to regain her mobility and to experience long-term pain relief. By stimulating the growth of collagen, Vitamin C encourages joint tissue to heal and grow, restoring the cushion between joints.

This is important for dogs who have arthritis, hip dysplasia and other conditions that damage the cartilage between the joints.

Did you know that Spinal stenosis can compresses part of the nerve. This causes inflammation, pain and often some numbness in the affected leg.

Vitamin C

IMPORTANT

Plus start oral dosing sodium ascorbate vitamin c powder - 2 teaspoons in a cup of filtered water, oral syringe side of mouth - min of 3 times day.    As Vitamin C doesn’t stay in the body for long.   DOSE - 5ml toy dog or cat.    10ml for all other sizes
If mild or chronic condition - add to meals if too difficult to give orally. 

 Research has shown that high doses of vitamin C  given orally or in meals has been shown to reduce the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. We have had great improvement seen when vitamin C is restored back into the body.

WARNING 

Unnecessary (over-vaccination) can and will severely deplete the body of Vitamin C.
Just to bring this awareness to you, if you have recently allowed a vet to give your pet a vaccination (over-vaccination), then this would be the cause of such pain now.  

Unfortunately, your vet will not associate this pain - acute or chronic - (or should we say admit) that many health joints, skin disease conditions are from side effects of vaccinations.

Ask your vet to order this inexpensive accurate (in-clinic) test:

Biogal brand "VacciCheck" in-house titer test kit.

Find another Vet who is willing to help you provide the safest inexpensive way of keeping your pet well.

A full outline of Magnesium deficiency was beautifully presented in a recent article by Dr. Sidney Baker.
“Magnesium deficiency can affect virtually every organ system of the body. With regard to skeletal muscle, one may experience twitches, cramps, muscle tension, muscle soreness, including back aches, neck pain, tension headaches and jaw joint (or TMJ) dysfunction. Also, one may experience chest tightness or a peculiar sensation that he can’t take a deep breath. Sometimes a person may sigh a lot.”“Symptoms involving impaired contraction of smooth muscles include constipation; urinary spasms; menstrual cramps; difficulty swallowing or a lump in the throat-especially provoked by eating sugar; photophobia, especially difficulty adjusting to oncoming bright headlights in the absence of eye disease; and loud noise sensitivity from stapedius muscle tension in the ear.”

“Other symptoms and signs of Magnesium deficiency and discuss laboratory testing for this common condition. Continuing with the symptoms of Magnesium deficiency, the central nervous system is markedly affected. Symptoms include insomnia, anxiety, hyperactivity and restlessness with constant movement, panic attacks, agoraphobia, and premenstrual irritability. Magnesium deficiency symptoms involving the peripheral nervous system include numbness, tingling, and other abnormal sensations, such as zips, zaps and vibratory sensations.
”“Symptoms or signs of the cardiovascular system include palpitations, heart arrhythmias, and angina due to spasms of the coronary arteries, high blood pressure and mitral valve prolapse. Be aware that not all of the symptoms need to be present to presume magnesium deficiency; but, many of them often occur together.

For example, people with mitral valve prolapse frequently have palpitations, anxiety, panic attacks and premenstrual symptoms.

People And Animals With “Magnesium Deficiency” Often Seem Agitated Or ‘Uptight’.

One of the principle reasons doctors write millions of prescriptions for tranquilizers each year is the nervousness, irritability, and jitters largely brought on by inadequate diets lacking magnesium.  People (or Animals) with even a slight deficiency become irritable, highly-strung, sensitive to noise, hyper-excitable, apprehensive and belligerent. Other general symptoms include a salt craving, both carbohydrate craving and carbohydrate intolerance (especially chocolate) and breast tenderness.If the deficiency is more severe or prolonged, they may develop twitching, tremors, irregular pulse, insomnia, muscle weakness, jerkiness and leg and foot cramps. Because large amounts of calcium are lost in the urine when magnesium is under supplied, the lack of this nutrient indirectly becomes responsible for much rampant tooth decay, poor bone development, osteoporosis and slow healing of broken bones and fractures.  With Vitamin B6 (P5P) (the activated B6 form), Magnesium helps to reduce and dissolve Calcium Phosphate Kidney Stones.
