How Fasting Can Clean Your Dog’s System From Years Of Poor Diet

Today I want to write to you about fasting and the positive benefits
it can have on your dog.

When you feed your pet too much second-hand, poor quality protein
such as cheap hamburgers, hot dogs, cold cuts, semi moist
sugar-preserved dog foods – or any meats full of DES, nitrates,
nitrites, aldehydes, and other assorted harmful additives -
the particular pancreatic enzymes that are needed to digest
the proteins in your dog’s system become depleted sooner than
necessary.

Additionally, these meats have been so thoroughly cooked that
they no longer have live enzymes of their own. Without enough
pancreatic enzymes to digest the protein, the food begins to
putrefy and can lead to pancreatitis and toxemia. We can give
more food but it is not being utilized.

If the body can’t use the nutrients, this is tantamount to not
having them. The body begins to feed upon itself in order to
sustain life, and the animal loses weight and muscle tone
in spite of the quantity of food provided. In the case of
malignant tumors, the body feeds the tumor while starving itself,
so the tumor grows to robust proportions while the body shrivels
like a dehydrated prune.

If you suspect ill health in your pet, don’t stuff him with food,
hoping that he will regain strength. You will actually be further
depleting his impaired vitality. Withholding food for a day or so
will cause a revitalization of the body, because the body will
have a chance to fight the impairment without the continuing
added burden of processing food.

This applies whether the food is wholesome or second-rate, but
even more strongly when it is of poor quality. Then the digestive
organs are not working in the processing of food, they have
an opportunity to apply themselves to the digestion of debris
in the body.

Fasting is nature’s most perfect medicine, since the body works
to rid itself of the debris, or harmful toxic matter, first,
thereby effecting a most marvelous housecleaning of cells.
Cells drowning in toxic waste have no room to absorb nutrients.

They must first rid themselves of this obstructing waste. The
process by which the body feeds upon and digests the debris is
called autolysis. Some types of tumors or cysts can enjoy
resorption into the body through this gradual, natural
purification process.

If you have an older dog, the chances are that through years
of dietary indiscretions, his enzymes have become somewhat
depleted. Whatever sturdy stock remains can be reinforced by
adding pancreatic enzymes to the diet. This will serve to bolster
the forces of protein, fat, and carbohydrate digestion, and you
will be augmenting the metabolization of your animal’s food.

Pancreatic enzymes can help turn the tide of sluggish digestion,
enabling the digestive process to perform with much increased
efficiency. This will provide a most harmonious relationship
within the digestive tract. The surplus enzymes can now effect
a cleansing process by breaking up the toxic debris stored
throughout the body.
