Re: Biotic ph+ and Biotic ph- Anyone tried these?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(RESPONSE FROM WYSONG)

Thank you for your recent e-mail. First, to speak generally, for greatest health Dr. Wysong recommends following the Optimal Health Program, which includes supplements, rotating through the various Wysong diets (dry, canned and non-thermally processed), and whole fresh foods to provide healthy variety.



In reply to your specific concerns:



The Biotic pH+ and Biotic pH- are supplements for cats or dogs with urinary problems such as infections and crystals. They are not specifically designed for a diabetic cat or dog, unless the pet has underlying urinary problems. Biotic pH- is for pets that are prone to struvite crystals (urine that is too alkaline) and Biotic pH+ is for pets prone to oxalate or urate crystals (urine that is too acidic). The supplement you are currently using, C-Biotic, is fine for a dog with diabetes.



For dogs that are diabetic or pre-diabetic, Dr. Wysong feels that moving towards a more archetypal feeding pattern (increased protein and fat and decreased grain carbohydrates) helps to better regulate a dogs natural carnivorous metabolism, as meat protein and fat are what their bodies were designed to most readily digest. Archetype (99+% meat) supplemented with the All Meat Canned Diets (supplemented with the Call of the Wild) would be especially beneficial for a dog with diabetes. If you need to supplement with a dry food, Growth or the Optimal Performance would be the best choice. Feeding a higher meat diet will also help ward off urinary problems.


The Wysong Rx Diet for diabetes is Diabid. We would recommend to supplement the diets mentioned above with the Rx diet. You can order Rx diets directly as long as you have your veterinarian fax us a prescription.

In following the Optimal Health Program, a supplement to emphasize would be Carboprin and Panzyme. Carboprin supports sugar balance and Panzyme supports the health of the pancreas as well as providing additional enzymes to enhance digestion.



Do not be misled by foods that claim 100% complete and balanced (www.wysong.net/dontbefool...te.shtml). Even though we may not make such a claim on a label, our foods have as much and more nutrition than any on the market. (We always recommend rotation and variety, never feeding one diet).
Regardless of how good a food is, it should not be fed at every meal. That is why we do not make the claim, not because our foods are deficient in any way.


We wish you and your companion animals the best of health. Please see below for more information.



FURTHER HELP

v See the following Wysong literature to learn more about almost any topic related to health:



Don't Be Fooled The pet food industry abounds with myth, lore, fable, deception, half-truths, incompetence and even fraud. There is good too, but you, the consumer, will have to sort that out. Here is a quick PhD primer that will give you insight very few people have.
