Question by Sarah: How long should it take for switching dog food to stop hair loss due to allergies?
So my dog has lost a disturbing amount of hair. We took him to the vet and she said it looked like mange but the blood work came back negative. Then the vet said it was most likely an allergy to poultry. We switched to dog food with no poultry but it’s been about two months and there is still no improvement. Should I wait longer to see improvement or insist that my vet send the blood work to be re-tested?

Best answer:

Answer by Jasmer
Poultry? Really? I’m surprised that a veterinarian did not suggest a corn, wheat, or soy allergy first. Switch to a dog food that does not contain corn, wheat, or soy and see if she improves. Allergy symptoms should subside within a week.

Corn is the second most common allergy in dogs.

Question by flipho_3000: What is the best super food probiotic vitamins?
I am looking for a probiotic formula that removes the toxins in your body completely. It contains more than 10 billion cells per capsule. But it is completely whole food based vitamins. It will cure with skin conditions, women hair loss, fungal nails, and much more. Where can I find these vitamins?

Answer by Johnny’s Mama
First of all, what are you looking for? Your question is a little confusing…

Are you looking for a probiotic that has 10 billion cells per capsule? Probiotics in and of themselves will not detox, but they can help. Vitamins are also very different thatn probiotics. They are essential nutrients that your body needs to function daily. There is also no “cure” for the conditions that you listed but a good diet and good multi-vitamin can help. There is also no product on the market that will COMPLETELY detox your system or heal you of anything. Most people seem to think that you just take this magic pill for 30 days or whatever and boom! You’re all squeaky clean and done! That is simply not true.

Your body works wonders at cleaning itself out, but if you continue to put junk in (pesticides, chemicals, etc) then your body can’t do it’s job properly. Just try cleaning your house while someone is shoveling more stuff inside! It just doesn’t work. If you are interested in detoxing then you need to do more reasearch and find out what you want to begin detoxing from. Heavy metals, chemicals, etc.

The first thing you should consider is changing your diet. You should be eating a diet of mostly (organic where available) vegetables and fruits, lean meats once or twice a week and absolutely NO sugar, anything artificial, etc. Essentially all “junk” food. Once you’ve stoped putting junk into your body then you can begin on getting deeper. Once you decide what you want to detox from you can go from there. Talk to someone at your local health food store or something to get an idea of what you want to do, but this will not be a quick fix by any means. It all depends on your toxic load, weight, metabolism and a whole host of other factors! The word “detox” is thrown around so much, but you simply can’t detox overnight! You didn’t get these diseases or problems overnight, you simply cannot fix them overnight!

As far as whole foods supplements go, some really good brands to stick with are New Chapter or Megafood. All of their products are 100% whole food vitamins, minearls, herbs and probiotics meaning all of that nutrition is coming from food, not made in a lab somewhere! Be aware though, they are quite pricey.

In the end however, nothing can replace a good diet. No pill or supplement can replace real food.
