. In the past few years, I have discovered that deer velvet is valuable for treating a myriad of illnesses. This remarkable product, particularly when combined with ap-parent synergists, such as green lipped mussel, thymus, colostrum and others, has helped animals to balance their immune system, recover from joint problems, restore normal skin function, enhance red blood cell production, and improve reproductive activity. -Dr. PJ Broadfoot
The history of antler as a medicinal substance stretches back thousands of years. New research suggests that therapies based on New Zealand velvet antler can provide a natural, holistic treatment for acute and chronic inflammations including joints, skin, and other body tissues by modulating and balancing the immune system, and it can provide some normalization of the endocrine system. Consider the regenerative potential of deer antler. This book summarizes some of the clinical evidence and benefits to small animals, and can provide a valuable resource to veterinary practitioners.
"As a practicing veterinarian, I’m always a little skeptical of overly-optimistic claims and non-traditional remedies, but velvet antler is the real thing. It’s at the top of my list when it comes to treating pets with arthritis and joint pain." -Dr. Clinton Balok, Licensed Veterinarian, Cedar Animal Medical Center, Gallup, N.M
Excerpt
Dermatology –
Atopy, Alopecias, and Black Skin Disease.
Allergies and atopy typically appear between one and three years of age. There is a genetic predisposition, and a progressive worsening is typical. Dogs with atopic dermatitis often have concurrent allergies and are prone to re-lapsing skin and ear infections, and anal sacculitis. In the case of an allergic inflammatory phase, pollen or other protein motifs trigger the degranulation of the mast cell. This releases histamin and heparin, which causes vasodilation and permeability of the vascular wall, along with dilution of the blood. Thereby, this results in swelling and increased fluid secretion as the body attempts to liquefy and eliminate the invading antigens. Both local and central control mechanisms come to play in the body’s attempt to regulate this cycle of activity and promote the reparatory processes.
Factors to consider in allergies include:
• Skin (atopic dermatitis)
• Mucous membranes ( allergic rhinitis, asthma)
• Liver overload
• Matrix toxicity
• So-called mucosal distress
There is a large body of anecdotal evidence that has studied the use of deer velvet for conditions such as psoriasis in humans. Having been apprised of some raging successes in humans, we have put a number of dogs and cats on a product which contains bioactive deer velvet, perna, colostrum, zinc, and porphyra (Red algae). With few exceptions, we have had some remarkably improved dermatological cases. (Several humans that I know personally, have benefited greatly from this or a similar supplement.)
Alopecia X.
The cause of this alopecic (hair loss) condition in dogs is unclear, but several theories have been proposed. These include abnormal adrenal steroidogenesis, growth hormone deficiency, an adrenal sex hormone imbalance, or even excessive production of androgenic steroids by the adrenal glands. Current theories suggest that a local follicular receptor dysregulation may be the underlying dis-order. The condition is uncommon but the average incidence is in dogs two to five years old.
Chow Chows, Pomeranians, Keeshonds, Samoyeds, Alaskan malamutes, Siberian huskies, and miniature poodles are predisposed. Gradual bilateral loss of primary hairs progresses to complete alopecia of the neck, tail, caudodorsum, perineum, and caudal thighs. The loss then eventually becomes generalized over the trunk, but the head and front limbs are spared, so they resemble little lions. The alopecic skin may become hyperpigmented, thin, and hypotonic. Mild secondary seborrhea and super-ficial pyoderma may occur. Affected dogs are otherwise quite well without systemic signs.
