On October 25, 2010, we took our 12 years old husky mix for an exam or routine check up and the news from that visit saddened us. The vet informed us that she had two months to a year and that her kidneys were failing.

At this point, we did not see any signs of her condition other than a frequency to urinate. Her appetite was fair.

We had another dog Dakota, who was her son. Sadly, we had to put Dakota down in November and she went into a depression. She was not eating much. I became a little more concerned and decided to research possible pet treatments for kidney disease and came across your website. We became very interested after reading some of the testimonials and your program treatment. Our pets have a diet of holistic organic dog kibbles with homemade beef or chicken meatloaf made with organic foods. We have had Cheyenne on a low protein diet. She loves sweet potato and many fruits and vegetables.

We started Cheyenne on the three week regiment of your tonic at the end of January 2011. We mixed her tonic (4ml) equally with freshly squeezed organic apple/pear juice (2ml) mixed with a little bottled water (2ml) and she was able to take it with much ease.We noticed during this time her appetite increased. She would clean up her entire dish. She was fed once a day with snacks during the day for many years but when we started your kidney health program, we started feeding her twice a day as her appetite seemed to have increased. She would clean her dish with both meals.

We took her back to the vet on February 17, 2011 and these were her results:

October 25, 2010 Bun 35, Creatnine 2.3

February 17, 2011 Normal Range Bun 17.6, Creatnine 1.73

We were very, very happy to see these results. Thank you for all you do in your research and work to help us do what we can to help our beloved pets who are so much a part of our family. We were told by the vet in October of 2010 to just give Cheyenne lots of love and fresh water. I thought there has to be others out there who could possibly help treat a dog’s kidney disease. With the love we have for her, we found you. She will be thirteen in a couple of weeks. Thank you so much for helping Cheyenne. We will continue her maintenance in Spring and Fall.

Hello!

I just wanted to write and tell you that it’s been 2 years since my vet said my dog, Cindy, was in kidney failure and needed to be put down! I was devastated, found you online and purchased your herbal remedy and followed the instructions…….can I tell you that she is doing WONDERFUL today! The vet was surprised to see the improvement shortly after starting, but reluctantly would admit that the herbs cured her (no surprise there).

In any case, as long as keep Cindy on an organic diet she is doing super! I make her organic brown rice with chicken or beef and a sweet potato and zucchini. I mix some of this with her organic dry food and she has never looked or acted better!

Thank you again for saving my dog, I tell everyone I know about your site, and it disturbs me to think of how many dogs are put down because conventional medicine just can’t (or won’t) help!

Sincerely,

Chris Stillwaugh

I am writing this to let all know that this really works and how grateful we were to find the Five Leaf Pet Pharmacy! In September of 2009 our Rottweiller Duke was Diagnosed with renal failure, it was such a shocking thing to hear as he was only 3 years old. I contacted Amanda and spoke with her a few times and she was so helpful with the diet and treatments which were recommended. When we brought Duke home from the vets, there was no hope and he was quite sick and his BUN,CREATININE,PHOSPHOROUS levels were too high to record a reading.

We immediately started him on the cycle as discussed and within 48 hours we saw such a change and within two weeks his Levels were coming into a normal range, we were so excited to have our Duke feeling and looking so much better! After 10 weeks on the program all levels of BUN,CREATININE AND PHOSPHOROUS were within normal ranges and remained there Until June of 2010 when we lost him to another type of problem…Thrombocytopenia Hemolytic Anemia, non related to his early diagnosis of Renal Failure!

Thank you to Amanda as she gave us 9 months with our Duke when there was no hope in site!

Thank YOU SO much for giving our Duke back to us when he was so young! Not to mention from something that was so life threatening, and everyone had pretty much given up on,because modern medicine had taken him as far as it could.

The picture of Duke was taken in October of 2009, 4 weeks after being diagnosed with this life threatening disease!

Thank YOU Amanda!!!!

Sincerely and grateful

Our 12 year old yellow lab, Rally, was very ill out of the blue one Sunday afternoon. She was vomiting and not acting like her happy self. After my wonderful neighbor (lucky for us, our local veterinarian!) examined her, he suggested settling her stomach because you never know what labs may eat. He also told us to monitor her carefully for a day or two. On Tuesday she wasn’t much better, so we took her to the vet. They took blood and discovered her kidney values were off the charts—9.7 Creatinine and 155 BUN—diagnosing her with Acute Kidney Failure. We were shocked, devastated and beside ourselves. They kept her for three nights administering IV fluids and giving her proper medicine.

In the meantime, I did exhaustive research, coming across the Canine Kidney Health website and Five Leaf Pharmacy. Even though I was skeptical, I knew there was hope because Rally was always a very healthy, active dog. She could catch a Frisbee from 40 yards in her prime!! She is a very important part of our family and I wanted to do everything possible to remedy this awful situation.

I had a wonderful “connection” with Amanda. She was incredibly gentle, kind, empathetic and knowledgeable. I began the program immediately and sure enough after the first cycle, Rally’s Creatinine dropped to 2.8 and BUN dropped to 36. After the second round her Creatinine was 2.1 and BUN was 16!!! We were (and still are!) jubilant!!

I will always be grateful to Amanda and Five Leaf because I know implementing the program of herbs, hydrotherapy and fresh, organic diet has helped Rally immensely.

We (my husband and three small children) enjoy every single day with Rally and appreciate more than ever her big brown eyes, wagging tail, unconditional love and the pure joy she brings us. I THANK YOU Five Leaf for giving us these wonderful times in her golden years!!

Hi,

Molly is an AKC Scottish Terrier. She will be 9 years old on April 9, 2010. She is spayed and has never been bred.

January of 2009 she needed to have a liver biopsy due to elevated ALP and ALT liver enzymes.

I believe the values were 533 and 345 respectively, and normal ranges are quite a bit lower. She was diagnosed as having hepaticellular vacular centrilobular degeneration. Basically, as it was explained to me, more and more of her liver was being overtaken by a fibrosys, or a fibrotic process.

There was only one medication that could help this condition, and we could also try antioxidants.

Over the next several months the values didn’t lower dramatically, but they did lower a little with the prescription and vitamins. Then in July of 2009, Molly presented with 3++ protein and blood in her urine. After three weeks on an antibiotic, the blood and protein were still there, but reduced to the 2 to 2++ range.

Over the next few months we would do once a month urine tests, with the protein / creatinine ratio always being 2 or higher. She was finally deemed to have kidney insufficiency when the ratio became 4.4+. And that is when I started her care and treatment with a more homeopathic approach and found Five Leaf Pet Pharmacy.

After completing the first 3 week regimen I was astounded to find that her urine protein/creatinine ratio had dropped to 0.7 !!! A ratio of 0 to 0.5 is considered normal! Another bonus is that her liver enzymes have dropped to 336-ALP and 123-ALT! These values are still above normal, but are going in a much better direction.

Thank you so much for this line of products and this regimen. It’s working for us and has favorably impressed our veterinarian!

We appreciate you.

It is Laila I am a 4 ½ year old Cane Corso. Just ‘d like to say a big thank you for saving my life and take an opportunity to recommend the Canine Kidney Health products for every dog owner.

About me, in 2009 September suddenly I became sick; I was throwing up and couldn’t eat anything. My caring owner toke me to the vet, who said my stomach’s to be opened up to find out what the problem is. The vet didn’t find anything there, but he’s learned there is something serious is happening with me all because a few months back I’ve had a tick bite which hasn’t been treated properly so I have lost most of the function of both of my kidney. I’ve been kept in the Animal Hospital for 2 month and been given drips for nearly all days. I’ve lost 14 pounds in weeks and couldn’t eat or move. I was in a really bad state. Luckily my owner and a lovely vet assistant looked after me day and night.

They have tried every medicine they could to keep me alive. I was no better. The vet didn’t give me long to live. My owner was devastated and by searching on the net came across the Five Leaf Pet Pharmacy. Amanda was really helpful by explaining how the program works. Few days later we’ve received the program. The first few days and weeks wasn’t easy, but then my appetite slowly came back and got some energy back, I didn’t need to be carried any longer. Now, after 7 months, I’m feeling better and better. Still need to take the dog greens and drops but I do not mind. I’ve put lots of weight back on and feel very healthy.

Thank you so much Amanda.

Lots of love,

We write to thank you for your wonderful products that has been keeping our 14 years old CoCo healthy and active!

We have CoCo with us ever since she is a month old, she is part of our family and we always try our best to take good care of her.

In February 2009, CoCo did not feel like eating for 2 days and had a few episodes of shivering which lasts a few secs each time, we felt worry and took her to our vet and did the urine test and blood test, and find that Na is low, ALP is 1350 (normal level: 20-150) and ALT is 170 (normal level: 10-118),then a bunch of meds including one call “Ursosan” were prescribed, when we revisited our vet 5 days later and run the blood test again, there is no improvement on the ALT reading and the ALP is 2000!

We feel lucky that during the first visit when the vet indicated that the high ALP and ALT readings could be a sign of kidney and liver failure, we already start searching thru the internet for more information regarding canine kidney failure, and god we really glad that we had ordered a set of your “package one” after we came across your website and studied the testimonials left by other dog lovers, so when we turned to you for advice on why CoCo’s ALP readings jumped off the chart after telling you what meds were being prescribed, you gave us a very valuable information that “Ursosan” may cause serious disorders of liver or renal functions! We don’t know why our vet prescribed “Ursosan”but we had then ceased all CoCo’s medication and follow your program to treat CoCo with Rena-Cleanse/Blood Cleansing Tonic/Hepara-Cleanse, as well as feeding her with home made diet and dog greens, the improvement on CoCo is rather fast and significant, she becomes more active and feel like eating again!

As recommended, twice a year in the spring and the fall, we will treat CoCo one week of Rena-Cleanse & Blood Cleansing Tonic and one week of Hepara-Cleanse & Blood Cleansing Tonic for maintenance, and dog green is essential for each meal, it has been 15 months now and CoCo is still healthy and happy!

Thank you again!

Love from CoCo, June and Kent

We had our little dog spayed and after that she became horribly ill. We took and had her checked and the vet said her kidneys were failing. After 3 days of iv I ordered the meds from you and started giving them to her after we received them in about 1 wk. The bun rate was at the time we left the vets office 130 and I can’t remember the creatinine level but this past week after giving her the meds for Approx. 2 months her bun rate was 29 and the creatine was normal.

Thanks for your help.

In March, 2009, without warning, our beloved 13-year-old Bichon Frise, Emma, began throwing up and was devoid of energy. Our vet delivered the devastating news that she was in advanced renal failure. He told us her Creatinine level was 18 and her BUN was 160. He told us that the only chance she had of surviving was a kidney transplant. He predicted she had only a matter of days to live.

I immediately got on the Internet and starting looking for a miracle. I found the Five Leaf Pharmacy. Luckily, I got Amanda on the phone. She was so kind and reassuring. She gave me remedies that I could start right away. I started Emma on distilled water, hydrobaths, and organic meat and vegetables (baby food). We had to syringe the food and water, because she wouldn’t eat or drink on her own. We also gave her Sub-Q saline drips every day, in addition to Azodyl and Epakitin from the vet. It was a stressful and exhausting experience.

Amanda expedited the delivery of the holistic drops and green powder, so that we could start them immediately. Since Emma was in “critical condition,” our lives revolved around her for weeks, as we syringed nutrients into her lifeless body. We kept up her exercise (which consisted of a few steps in the yard) so that she could get the fresh air and optimism she needed to fight her condition. We knew that her improvement was taking longer than most dogs we read about on the website (because her numbers were off the charts). We never gave up hope.

About the third week, Emma started drinking water on her own and showing some interest in food. Amanda recommended fresh green tripe, which is full of nutrients and has a strong enough aroma to get dogs interested in eating. We followed her advice, and Emma started getting enthusiastic about eating again (without a syringe). She started walking to the end of the street and back—a major accomplishment! Since we could no longer give her the arthritis medication for her legs, Amanda sent us a “completely safe” supplement called Myristin. Emma is walking better than she has in years with no side effects!

It is now June. We have continued to feed Emma a raw meat and organic vegetable diet. We periodically do a cleansing with the drops from Five Leaf.

Emma is a happy, lively dog. We walk two blocks every day. She is running, jumping, and playing with her toys again, begging for food, and meeting us at the door when we come home with barks and kisses.

The most miraculous event, however, is that her recent blood work indicated that her Creatinine and BUN levels are totally NORMAL! Her weight has gone back to normal as well.

Emma would not be alive today if it were not for Amanda and Five Leaf Pharmacy. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

I wanted to write with not only praises on your product. Let me start by saying about a year ago in Feb of 08 my wonderful dog was diagnosed with kidney failure at the young age of three, because of his age the vets thought for sure it was some kind of poison and irreversible. They offered to try intense fluid therapy which involved several night hospital stay and a very hefty bill but warned that it probably wouldn’t work. Desperate i tried the therapy anyways and as i feared the results were negative. I was then told my only option was to euthanize and quickly as each day i was only making my dog suffer and that without euthanizing i only prolonged his life by a few painful days or weeks if i was lucky. I had planned to go through with the euthanization but needed just one more night with him at my own house not in a hospital so i checked him out of the hospital catheter still in his leg. That night I found five leaf pet pharmacy online and overnighted the products. I saw results almost immediately my beloved friend was returning to the dog i once knew. It is now January of 09 almost an entire year later and he shows NO signs of illness. He is active, playful, hungry, and living life to its fullest. I truly believe with all my heart i owe that to the product i ordered from your pharmacy.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I look forward to recommending this product to anyone who is told there is no hope.

About a year ago, I took Li’l Bit in for a physical. She was 17. The vet came back in and said ‘her kidney counts are elevated’. From there he gave her a death sentence in the next year.

After a year on your product, her Bun & Crit are GREAT.

I know that she is 18. I know that she won’t live forever. But, you have given her a great year.

A friend of mine said ‘why would you treat her as an experiment. Is that how YOU would want to be treated’? The answer is, yes. I would search for any solution. Anyone reading this – if you have a dog with kidney problems, buy this product.

Thank you!

On 13th September 2009 our 8 year old cocker spaniel Moongchi was taken to the Vet in a very serious state as he was not eating, he could not walk properly, he was only drinking a tiny amount of water and his stools were most unhealthy. The Veterinarian conducted some blood tests and diagnosed Moongchi with renal failure, reporting raised levels of electrolyte and BUN of 214. As a temporary measure the Vet ensured that Moongchi was placed on an IV drip and hospitalised for two days. Before he was released the Vet told us that Moongchi only had one month to live but if we were lucky 6 weeks, and we just had to try to make his life as comfortable as possible for him. We were absolutely devastated at the prospect of our dog slowly dying and not being around at Christmas. This was especially heartbreaking for us as he had only just been released from 6 months Quarantine in May. We could not accept what was happening, so my wife and I started looking on the internet for other solutions as a final last chance. We came across Five Leaf Pet Pharmacy, read the testimonials, and were really encouraged by other peoples experiences. However we did ever so slightly wonder whether the treatments really worked, but due to Moongchi’s condition, had no choice but to put our faith in Five Leaf. We have absolutely no regrets, we contacted Amanda by telephone and found her very attentive and helpful as not only did she suggest a course of treatments but also gave us helpful dietary tips tailored for his condition. Two days later the FedEx man arrived, and we began the course of medication combined with Moongchi’s new diet. After only 2 to 3 days we began to notice an immediate improvement in Moongchi as he seemed more lively and bubbly and he was at least drinking water normally. Moongchi continued to improve leaps and bounds and then after about 2 weeks he was actually begging for food – which we cannot remember him ever doing, drinking normally, and his stools had never looked better. We were so delighted as the medication and change of diet was having a real impact. These days Moongchi is an extremely healthy cocker spaniel who would have died many months ago if we had only listed to our vets. His course of herbal medication finished some time ago but we are sticking to his diet which includes dog greens and contacting Amanda for further tips to ensure that we are doing all we can to maintain his health. Now Moongchi runs around the house like crazy and has more energy than we can ever remember. He is so bubbly and happy. We are so grateful to Five Leaf and all the help Amanda has provided on the way.

I adopted a 9 year old Deaf Australian Terrier mix in October. Most of his teeth had been removed due to infection from living on the streets. He walked with a stiff back leg gait that I chalked up to old age but later found out that is a sign of Kidney disease He had a bad case of worms and had been on treatment. I took him in for follow up blood work, and the Vet said he was in the early stages of Kidney Failure. I asked her “is he dying” she said “well, he will probably last about 2 years” I felt this dog had had such a rough go so far, that I was unable to believe there was no hope for him and yet another problem. The vet recommended a special diet (purchased from them) when I looked at the label, I was shocked at the amount of chemicals in this food. So I did an internet search and found you.

Punky has been on your diet and supplements since his diagnosis in November. I had him re-tested in January. Another Vet at the practice (not my regular Vet) said “why are we testing him again he was just tested” I told him I believed Punky would be better. He raised his eyebrows and said “and why would you think that?” I explained that his demeanor and level of alertness and energy had dramatically increased. He wasn’t the sad and reserved dog that slept a lot, that I had adopted. His gait had returned to normal. I truly felt he wasn’t sick anymore. And once he started to feel better I realized how really sick he had been.

The Vet shrugged it off and said something to the effect of bad days and good days The Vet then asked me why I was returning the canned food I had purchased. I told him I had him on a special diet I was making myself, when he interrupted me and said “he’s a dog, you feed him steak he will only want steak, you’re just going make him die sooner” I tried to tell him I wasn’t feeding him steak, and about the diet, but he wouldn’t listen. I told him I wanted Punky tested anyway.

The next day I got the results and his kidney numbers were normal!!!

I am keeping him on this diet since he loves his food. I just want to thank you for your help, without this diet, I have no doubt he would not live very long. He deserves to live out the rest of his life having fun and feeling good after too many years of neglect and life on the streets. He now has energy to burn and loves his walks and can’t wait for the next adventure. He is a sweet little guy and a wonderful buddy.

I have recommended your site and diet to many people, they are especially interested after they hear Punky’s story.

Thank You for saving my Punky from a sad ending after a sad beginning.

Punky Thanks you too!!

A week before Thanksgiving, our nine year old sheltie, Shelly, began throwing up and stopped eating. We thought she was reacting to an antibiotic that was prescribed for her allergies. Finally, Shelly became so sick that we took her into the vet again, where they did blood work, and we found out that Shelly had kidney failure. Her BUN level was 181 and her creatinine was 8.0. We were shocked and devastated. Immediately, we checked Shelly into a 24-hour animal hospital.

She stayed there for six days while they monitored her, gave her an IV to flush her system, and fed her with a syringe. While Shelly was in the hospital, we searched all over the Internet learning as much as we could about canine kidney failure and disease. Most of the sites we came across told us that with numbers as high as Shelly’s, her chance of recovery was small. Finally we found Five Leaf Pet Pharmacy and the information on the site gave us hope. We decided to give their holistic kidney treatment a shot. Shelly came home a week before the treatment arrived. That week her numbers rose pretty drastically again and we became desperate.

Thankfully the treatment arrived shortly after and we started Shelly immediately. Every week that Shelly was on the treatment, her numbers continuously dropped. In addition to the Five Leaf Pet Pharmacy treatment we be have been administering 400 cc of saline subcutaneously to Shelly. We just got Shelly’s blood work back after she finished the three-week regimen and her BUN was 17 and creatinine was 1.1, even her liver enzymes are dropping. We are elated. Shelly is back to her old self again. She barks and plays with us like she did when she was a puppy. We are so thankful that we found the Five Leaf Pet Pharmacy.

I am writing to you to thank you for saving my dog’s life!!! Here is our story!

Phoebe is our adventurous 9 month old puppy. She climbed up on a chair, onto a table, and helped herself to the child-proofed Motrin…..swallowing about 30 tablets. Although she did throw up, within 2 days she was showing signs of kidney failure. She was urinating in her sleep, excessive drinking….etc. We took her to our vet, who ran tests. She was, indeed, in kidney failure. Her phosphorus was 6.1, her BUN 38, and urea nitrogen 34. The vet said there was nothing we could do. She said it may progress and we would have to put her down….or the best scenario, it would stay the same and we would have to decide if we could live with a dog without bladder control.

We were devastated. As you can see, she is the most adorable black cocker spaniel, with the best personality. We felt so guilty that she got to the Motrin, and we were desperate to seek some solution.

I went on the internet, and found Five Leaf Pet Pharmacy. It was 9pm on a Friday night, but feeling so desperate I called anyway. Amanda answered, spent over a half hour on the phone with me, explaining the program. I was so hopeful.

We did the whole three week program….exactly! Last Tuesday, we went back to the vet to re-run her lab work. I was delighted to see…..NO EVIDENCE OF ANY KIDNEY PROBLEMS! Can you believe it??? None. Her BUN was 24! She is not having accidents, she is back to her regular self…..and…..the medicine is all put above her reach.

Thank you, thank you, Five Leaf!

Snowy was the sweetest most obedient dog I picked up one day at my estate. Although he was either lost or abandoned, yet was standing on his two hind legs and begging with his two front paws to every passerby. He was the very first Maltese, I’d set eyes upon. His long hair was tangled, and I was sure he hadn’t had a meal for days. I picked him, brought him home, bathed him and fed bread and milk. So began my journey with him, and just like Tin Tin’s snowy, he became a shadow behind me, always following me. He knew that I saved him. And he knew with all of his little dog conscience, how to appreciate that. When I got married snowy and my wife became best buddies, and he became an irreplaceable part of our little family. Extremely jealous of her at first though, little knowing, that it was she who partly encouraged me to take him in, when I found him a year earlier.

Just after celebrating Christmas in 2008, snowy stopped eating. He started vomiting through the night for two days. When I took to the vet, he showed all the signs of Kidney failure. His BUN level was above 130 and his CREATININE was 16. His vet said not to have too much hope, and put him on the saline drip and gave him Azodyl capsules. Standard medicine given for any canine with kidney failure. So began our 2009 new year nightmare. On the dawn of the new year, attending to him every two hours to clean and feed him, as he was confined to a small space with the saline drip and extremely weak without solid food. The plump lovable canine dropped from a 6.8kg to a mere 5.3 over two weeks. Even after intensive saline and Azodyl, his condition didn’t improve much, rather was worsening day by day. Our hearts were heavy. He was our lovable companion, our mediator during arguments, our obedient shadow.

Through intense research on the web, my wife came across the Five Leaf Pet Pharmacy website, run by Amanda. We placed an order right away. That night, Amanda called and offered the best piece of advice, I’d ever heard over the weeks. She gave us a tingle of hope that snowy may still pull through. She wasted no time in sending the medicine. Within 3 days I received her package through overnight delivery. And although hesitant at first, we started on the medicine anyway, as we had nothing to lose. Within a week, Snowy’s BUN levels dropped to 72, and CREATININE to 8. Within a day of giving the blood cleansers, he showed improved physical strength. The fellow who could hardly walk, was suddenly pulling me on the leash, with one paw still attached to the saline drip. We continued with the cycle recommended by Amanda, and within another week, the BUN dropped to 32 and CREATININE to 2.6, extremely close to the normal levels for a canine.

We were overjoyed. I’ve never seen such drastic miracles in my life, but right before our eyes, Snowy pulled through. Although it sounds cliché, Amanda’s product became a miracle which saved our Snowy.

Snowy continues to maintain near normal levels, and now his appetite has grown twofold. We are extremely careful with this diet, and follow advice given through Amanda’s booklet in giving him organic vegetables.

We are ever so grateful to Amanda and to god who directed my wife to come across her website.

Hi Amanda, Skye and everyone at 5 Leaf,

I have been using your recipes, products and advice for my 13 year old cocker spaniel, L.D. since November. At that time she was diagnosed with the start of kidney failure by my vet. She was 5 pounds over weight and having accidents in the house but her energy level was still good. The vet said one thing that could prolong my dog’s life was her food and if I wanted to make it for her that might be the best idea but he, of course, had no recipes so recommended a commercial dog food that was a “kidney prescription”. I have always been particular about L.D.’s food and wasn’t about to feed her a name brand dog food even if it did come from the vet. My vet is a great guy but not holistic or into alternative treatments although, he tolerates me trying them and is always interested in the results of my latest “voodoo”. Since I have a vegetarian food business he already thinks I’m a little kooky so knew the idea of making food for L.D. wasn’t out of he realm of possibilities for me.

I wanted to know more about renal failure and food recipes from the alternative/natural side of the aisle and if there truly was no way to reverse or treat the condition naturally so I did an internet search and found you. My dog’s BUN number was 42 at the time of my first inquiry to you. I decided the investment in time and money was small if the products, therapies and formulas you offered did indeed help my critter and her quality of life. My second call to you was a month after receiving my “how to” booklet and formulas from you. I just returned from the vet’s office where I waited with baited breath as the test results were returned. I remember he walked into the examining room with the paperwork and said “well, whatever you are doing, keep it up!!” Her BUN number was down to 31, a drop of 11 points and almost in the normal range!! I was elated and feeling rather smug as I left. When I reported this to Skye, she said we could get L.D. into the normal range and to do the program for another 3 weeks. As I work out of town a lot, I had a house sitter who was administering the formula drops and food. After an absence of almost 2 months I returned to a slim, bouncy cocker who looked great and much younger than her 13 years. Back to the vet we went for another blood test.This time the BUN had elevated a few points which I attribute to the fact that my house sitter may not have been as diligent with the administration of the drops as she should have been. Regardless, the vet was happy with the test results and told me again to stay with whatever I was doing.

L.D. has been on all three of your food recipes with the latest being the raw meat/veggie combo as per Amanda’s suggestion. This morning she was barking at me to hurry up and get the food into her bowl as she danced around the kitchen. She loves it especially with the “Dog Greens” mixed in. I will get another blood test soon but feel that regardless of the outcome (which I know will be good) your products have made a remarkable difference in the health and vitality of my dog. Her “accidents” have all but stopped and she gets compliments from her fan club all the time as to how young and perky she looks. THANKS from both L.D. and her Mom!!

My fourteen year old mini-schnauzer, Bomber, has been with me since he was 8 weeks old. I can’t even begin to tell you what he means to me. He’s always had regular check ups and been healthy but in Sept ’08 I was thrown a curve ball! His blood work suddenly showed an elevated BUN of 36mg and Creatinine of 2mg meaning early signs of kidney disease. Naturally I panicked and looked to my Vet for help and the only suggestion offered was changing his food to a “renal specialty” at which I was appalled since these are poison in themselves. I found the Five Leaf Pharmacy and with much skepticism ordered the cleaning kit and started preparing the sweet potato/greens recipe provided on the website. I was really quite skeptical and even called to return the kit but after much thought I realized there was nothing to loose and maybe it would help. HALLELUJAH!! After going thru 2 cycles Bomber’s BUN dropped to 20 and Creatinine to 1.6!!!! I am a believer!! He is back playing like a pup, has the strut back in his step, and wants to eat constantly (he licks his bowl around the kitchen)!! I will absolutely continue his new diet and the maintenance program. I urge anyone if in need to try this; it worked for us and hopefully it will for you. Thank you Amanda for your patience with me and your compassion and knowledge that you share so readily!!

Hi Amanda,

Paul and Eleanor Rhodes here, I just want to let you know how Candi is doing. Out of the clear blue our Candi 4 1/2 yrs. old got sick. Took her to our vet 18 miles away, he said it was her kidneys and he needed to keep her overnight to give her IV’S. Went back next morning Candi was no better, so our vet said that his wife was to go to the hospital the next day for tests and he would like for us to take her to Springfield, MO. to Bradford Animal Hospital 70 miles from our home. We took her straight there that day.

That same day is when we ordered the program from you which we received in a couple of days. Candi was in hospital for 6 days, was on medication in her IV’s the whole time. The Doctor called, said she had a lot of blood in her urine but was somewhat better but Candi would not eat. He told me to come get her and he thought she would do better at home.

She went from 11.8 lbs. to 7 1/2 lbs in that week. The Doctor put her on medication for 6 more days and told me to take her back to my own vet after all medication was taken to have blood workup again. We did this and Candi’s numbers were not good. The Doctor put her on more meds and said to bring her back in 2 weeks to get blood workup again.

I chose not to do 6 more days of meds and stopped them and decided to put Candi on the program at that time. In just one week I have seen a big difference in Candi. She was so much better. After 2 weeks on the program she has gained 2 lbs. back. We took her back to the Doctor for the blood test to see if the numbers had changed. In just 13 days on the program Candi’s number had changed. Bun–78 to 42 and Creatinine 2.6 to 1.3. The rest of the numbers were all normal and back to 9 1/2 lbs.

This has been a miracle and even my wife’s sunday school kids have been praying for Candi’s recovery. The Doctors thought Candi was not going to make it and thought Candi was an interesting case and they thought she was terminal. This is her last week on the drops, food, coconut and hydrotherapy and she is 680px well.

So we just want to THANK YOU so very much.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

Will surely reccommend you to anyone that would need your services.

Hi, my name is Sugie Day & my little friend here is Noodles. Noodles is a miniature dachshund & we live in Austin, TX. Noodles was diagnosed with kidney failure about 7 months ago, but fell very ill over Memorial Day weekend. She was vomiting, refused all food & water & waslethargic. We took her to our vet, Dr. Phillip Schwarzlose @ DS Animal Hospital on May 27th, 2008 & her prognosis was very grim. According to her blood work & to quote Dr. Phillip, “This dog should be in a coma”. Noodles BUN was negative 101, the Creatinine was negative 8.6 & the Phosphate was greater than negative 16.1. Not to mention other numbers that were not good.

But, Dr. Phillip told us that an old doc of his once said “Look at the dog, not at the numbers” & he then mentioned your website & are we ever thankful that Dr. Phillip took that old doctor’s advice. Dr. Phillip did not know much about Canine Kidney Health, but said he had seen one other dog that had been on it with good results & as sick as Noodles was it certainly wasn’t going to hurt anything.

We came home & started our own research on your website. We read the testimonies, studied the ingredients & how to administer the program. We ordered the products to come overnight & anxiously awaited them to arrive as Noodles was just getting sicker by the minute. When our package arrived we were skeptical, but hopeful. We started Noodles on her first dose that very night & she did not even care about the funny taste. We then started our battle to making her try to eat again. Well, that didn’t last very long. Within about 3 days on the program Noodles started taking an interest in food again. She started drinking water without coaxing & I really think it was the Dog Greens that made food more interesting to her again. By the end of the first week or so Noodles was back out in the yard doing something she loves, barking at the birds!!!

As you can imagine we were extremely happy to see Noodle so active, but were even more excited to have the next round of blood work. We planned to take her back in to see Dr. Phillip as soon as she finished that first three week cycle. That was on June 20, 2008 & we were all AMAZED. Noodles BUN dropped from 101 to 47, the Creatinine from 8.6 to 2.9 & the Phosphates from greater than 16.1 to within normal range at 3.8. All Dr. Phillip could say was “Amazing”. We then followed up with another 3 week program cycle & took Noodles back for a follow-up blood work on July 15th & that also came back almost the same & a tad bit better than the June 20 blood work. So we now feel Noodles is stable, so we are going to take her off of the medicine & put her on the maintenance twice a year.

What can I say about Canine Kidney Health, but thank you for making our very sick little Noodles feel so much better. Noodles continues to improve & barks at the birds daily now. Something I hope she will do for quite a few years to come!!!

I have to tell you that this is a miracle. I wasn’t so sure I should trust it because the way the Vet talked was that if I didn’t have Ginger put to sleep that I was fooling myself and and it would be cruel. I had decided that if after a few weeks Ginger didn’t show improvement then I would go ahead and have her put to sleep. I didn’t sleep and couldn’t concentrate from feeling worried for Ginger and the guilt nearly killed me. Ginger didn’t respond well the first few days and then suddenly she wanted to eat the food I was making her. Then she started to walk a little better.

Very week and very thin but improving bit by bit. We took her to the Vet only 3 days after starting your program and her numbers had gotten better. I can’t tell you what they were. I will get them in a few weeks. I guess we were so amazed that she was doing better that we didn’t listen too well.

So..jump ahead just one week. Only one week. The dog that couldn’t hold her head up to drink is driving me crazy. She is eating like a horse. Better than she has in months!! She follows me around the house. Doesn’t let the other dogs push her around. She is 15 1/2 and doing better than she has in forever. I can’t wait until we can have her checked again. I will let you know. We are so thrilled. All of us were just saying her eyes are clearer than they have been in over a year.

Walks with a bounce too. WOW!! We still can’t believe it. Thank you so much. I know we are

going to have to keep her on this for the full three weeks and talking about how we can keep her

on it for longer. We will keep you informed. You made our Christmas so great.

Sincerely,

Hi, Amanda

As the ‘anniversary’ approaches for the first year that Gabby has been on your treatment plan, I wanted to express my gratitude to you and to your pet pharmacy.

In August, 2006, at Gabby’s check-up her BUN was slightly above normal at 27. I took her back to the vet in September because her poop was slimy and she was losing weight. Her BUN had increased to 40. The vet changed her prescription dog food from CD to KD. He wanted to recheck her blood in November at which time it was 50 and her weight was down from 13 lbs to 9.9 lbs. He said at that rate we would lose her sometime between Labor Day and Christmas of 2007.

While researching kidney disease, I found your website. Although I was doubtful, I noticed that you had a letter from Paul and Eleanor Rhodes from Reed Springs, MO. I grew up in that part of the state and spent many summers passing through Reed Springs on the way to the lake. I spoke with Pastor Rhodes and Mrs. Rhodes and they were convinced the products had saved their dog’s life and after my vet checked the ingredients, I started Gabby on the program December 17, 2006.

I noticed almost immediately that her appetite returned, her breath spelled better, not as much plaque build up on her teeth and her eyes looked brighter. Three weeks later on January 8, 2007, her BUN has decreased to 48 and her creatinine was normal at 1.4. The vet wanted her on the treatment plan for 3 weeks, off one week, etc.

That was the beginning and after each treatment, her numbers consistently improved. By May, our vet instructed us to NOT take her off the treatment plan.

Her last blood work was in September,2007 and she is so healthy that she hasn’t seen the vet in 3 months. Her weight is normal, her appetite is excellent and she plays like she did when she was a puppy. People think she is a puppy and are surprised that she’s 13 1/2. Although we no longer do the hydrotherapy, the vet wants us to continue the medicine as a preventative. He says that in his 30 years he’s never seen anything quite like this.

I, too, am convinced that we wouldn’t have a healthy, happy dog if it were not for your program.

Sincerely,

Janet Davis

In July 2007 we took our twelve year old terrier mix, Cuddles (he has that name for a reason) to have his teeth cleaned. Instead we were given the news that he was in active kidney failure and had less than three months to live. We were heartbroken to say the least. After several weeks of crying and sadness, we decided to search out other alternatives for Cuddles. That is when we came upon Canine Kidney Health by Five Leaf Pet Pharmacy. The program seemed too good to be true, but we had nothing to lose.

Cuddles’ Creatinine level was at 2.1 and his BUN level at 59 when we find out about his kidney failure. Our vet supported our decision to try the new approach and scheduled another blood test for three weeks. Much to her surprise, these levels were much better with a Creatinine level of 1.5 and a BUN level of 29. At the advice of Five Leaf Pet Pharmacy, we did one more round of the cleansing tonic and returned to our vet three weeks later. Our vet was amazed to report that our Cuddles was now within normal range for Creatinine and BUN with numbers at 1.8 and 21 respectively.

That was nearly six months ago and I am happy to report that Cuddles is doing fine. We are constantly hearing about how good he looks and the increase in his energy. Instead of preparing Cuddles for death, we are taking him for long walks and trying to keep up with him. Thank you Five Leaf Pet Pharmacy for offering hope when no one else would and for providing the support and guidance I was looking for in a time of pet crisis.

Hi Amanda, It’s Tim and Heather Leonardi, proud customers of Five Leaf Pharmacy. You said to send you a testimonial once Winnie was all back to normal, and that glorious day arrived just a few short weeks ago! Here is a synopsis of our story, we hope that it will serve as some small measure of thanks for keeping our Winnie a healthy, happy dog for years to come!!!

On a routine visit to the veterinarian, my wife and I discovered that our beloved lab mix Winnie had elevated BUN and Creatinine levels. Our vet recommended a canine internal medicine specialist. My lovely wife returned from the specialist in tears, as she had been informed that Winnie was in complete kidney failure and likely had less than 6 months to live. The internal medicine specialist said that Winnie had lost function of one kidney and the other’s ability to operate up to her body’s needs was quickly deteriorating. My wife has had Winnie for several years, and when we began dating and got married I too fell in love with this wonderful dog just as she had years prior. While we were both very distraught, we were determined not to just sit and wait for what the specialist seemed to think was Winnie’s eventual demise.

In a frantic couple of days, we researched possible solutions. Everything seemed both incredibly invasive for Winnie, and upon discovering the Five Leaf Pharmacy website, we were very intrigued, although somewhat skeptical of the therapy program that was laid out. Maintaining a cautious attitude, we purchased our first kit and scheduled an appointment with the internal medicine specialist that would follow the first cycle.

Our first surprise came when Winnie absolutely LOVED the bean, vegetable and tofu mixture that constituted her daily diet. We piled her into the tub twice a day for hydrotherapy, and although she was a much bigger fan of the warm minute than the cold, she was a great dog through the whole process. Her energy level rose, especially after a walk or run, showing an exercise recovery time more akin to a puppy than a full grown dog. Although these were great signs, and we tried to maintain a positive attitude, we still harbored some fear for Winnie’s health and questions whether or not the Five Leaf program would be the answer for Winnie.

The fear, the doubts, and the questions all went away after Winnie’s first trip back to the specialist following her first cycle of the program. Her BUN plummeted back into the normal range, down from the mid 80s to the 23, and her Creatinine decreased to 2.1, down from 2.7!!! We immediately ordered another cycle to keep the Creatinine falling, and it did! The BUN remained constant and the Creatinine fell to a lowly 1.4! Winnie was BACK!!!!

Winnie is currently still on the bean, tofu, and veggie mix and loving it three times a day. Her best friend (besides my wife), Bear, our little beagle mix sometimes gets to lick her bowl and he seems to love the stuff too! We’re keeping her on the maintenance program and some dog greens and monitoring her kidneys closely. We are big believers in your program and hope that others will find you and be just as successful as we were in bringing back our beloved dog from the brink. Winnie is a happy, healthy dog again: running around, playing with Bear and our cats, and winning over everyone’s heart that she comes in contact with! We couldn’t be happier: with Winnie as our dog or the wonderful program that you have at Five Leaf Pharmacies. Feel free to use this or paraphrase it in any way, but please accept it as our sincere thanks for the role you played in saving our pet.

Sincerely,

Tim and Heather Leonardi*

I have just received my lab results for my golden retriever, Brandy. It has been 3 weeks since we began the program of the food and herbal treatments recommended by the Five Leaf Pet Pharmacy.

I must say I never thought I would make it 3 weeks! It was my last chance to treat Brandy for her kidney disease. I was willing to dedicate the 3 weeks required, at sometimes wondering if perhaps I was just looking for a remedy that would help, any remedy, when I came upon www.caninekidneyhealth.com. I was doubtful, I was skeptic. I was desperate. I called. Skye was the person I spoke with. I decided to “go for it”

So………… here are the results……… Brandy’s Bun is 22 – normal, Brandy’s Creatinine is 0.8 – normal, Brandy’s Phosphorus is 4.4 – normal, Skye said to dance for joy! I was still skeptical when she said celebrate! Her tests are great! You have your dog back!!! It was hard for me to believe, but, I am so, so, greatful. thank you, thank you, thank you. Marcia Martin and of course Brandy.

My dog Blackie is a 14 year old Cocker spaniel. I adopted her 8 years ago. She is blind and over the time I have had her her only health issue has been an issue with inflammatory bowls. Other than that and more recently some hip issues, she has been healthy.

About four months ago she rather quickly became ill–not eating, throwing up. I took her to the emergency room where she was diagnosed with kidney failure. Her creatinine number was 6.1 and her BUN,216. She was hospitalized and placed on fluids and antibiotics–the latter in case the issue was an infection. I was told if after 48 hours the numbers dropped by 50% it would be a good sign. Unfortunately, They did not–only about 25%. I was sent home with aluminum hydroxide (a phosphorus binder) and fluids to give to her under the skin and told to get and give her azodyl. Although not said bluntly, I felt the message was: there is little that can be done and this is palliative care.

The first day she was home I felt powerless, hopeless. That night I prayed and when I got up the next day I was resolved not to surrender without a fight. I went to the Web and found CannineKidneyHealth.Com. I called, I listened. Hope was restored. I immediately moved her to the recommended organic diet and distilled water–and was happy when she ate it and kept it down. I ordered the greens and the drops. I took the program to my holistic vet, and he told me he was familiar with the Dr.’s who had put it together and approved me putting her on the program. One week later, her numbers were: creatinine 1.46 and BUN 103. My regular vet was pleasantly surprised. About three weeks later her creatinine was 1.1 and her BUN was 81. Her phosphorus was also within normal limits–a little on the high end but normal, and that is where they have remained.

The numbers are only part of the good story: She is more alert and active than in several years. Her bowls are normal–which seems to be a byproduct of the new diet. I have given her the aluminum hydroxide, the fluids and the azodyl too, and for good measure I have had acupuncture and given her Chinese herbs recommended by my holistic vet, but I am absolutely sure that the improvement has been primarily do to the Canine Kidney Health program. I know she cannot live forever–none of us can–but I am sure that I am going to have for a lot longer than I would have had I not found CanineKidneyHealth.com

Thank you Skye!

September 10/07

Just wanted to let you know latest on Blackie——had blood work done on Saturday results are essentially same on creatinine and phosphorous–both normal. Good news on BUN—went down 35 points from 80 to 55. I have been doing the hydro twice daily and it seems to be working.

Amanda, I may not have elaborated enough on Kodi’s main problem that you fixed. Bob laughed & said, she didn’t need an autobiography! LOL So, I have to tell you that when she was diagnosed with cirhosis of the liver & kidney failure, after seeing blood on her bottom. I was scared to death. She then was operated on a spot inside her colon, which Doc thought was the problem, but it wasn’t, he said it was much worse. That’s where the other diagnosis came in. Doc I’m sure knew that she didn’t have long to live, so he told us to feed her anything she wanted, just to try & keep some weight on her & keep her alive, but it only gave her diarhrea and was getting so skinny. We knew that she was so close to death. That’s when we found Amanda! Thank God!!! She wouldn’t respond to my Mom, stay in a corner, and didn’t interact with us. Oh, but now, I want to HUG Amanda for helping my “kid” have the best time of her life!!! Thanks!!! Shordy Ramsey & Kodi

My Princess Jr. Kodi was abandoned by her mother at birth, so she had no immune system. I got her at about 5-6 weeks. I immediately fell in love with her. she soon became being called my “million dollar dog.” She had so many things wrong with her. I will try to condense her story because it’s quite long. She lost her back left leg at the age of 2 because of a trap! Then at the same age she got pancreatitis…my own fault, I was so uninformed, I didn’t feed her pork, but, I put pork juice on her food…which sent her into pancreatitis, and she almost died, Doc said there was one anitbiotic left..as he called it, the big gun, and if it didn’t work, then she wouldn’t make it.

One of the next things she got was sweatgland cancer, I found a lump on her front right hand, and since she only had the 3

legs I just couldn’t see her trying to make it with only two legs, but…we do have it on video of her walking with the two, because when Doc did a biopsy, it was wrapped up & she won’t use it if it’s wrapped up! So, she walked with 2 opposite legs. We were then referred to U of I in Champaign and got radiation for a month, and after 2 yrs of checkups she got a clean bill of health. She became the Ramada mascot!

Then she got Cirrhosis of the liver at the age of 16 and also was into kidney failure, she was operating on 1/2 of one kidney. My perfect Vet that loved her so much since she was born, he said to give her anything she wants to eat and that was that. I know it killed him, knowing that medicine had taken her as far as it could. Looking back I realized that he knew that she didn’t have long. But of course, she’s my kid, so we went out on a limb, and thank God found Amanda’s website. I cannot tell you how much she’s improved, well maybe I can by saying my Vet now is giving Amanda’s website to his clients. That says a lot, my Kodi’s enzyme levels has made a believer out of him. This last time my Vet said, first off he wished his bloodwork was that good. Also he said that they were as close to percfect as they can get. I can tell you that it has taken her back to where she was 5 years ago. Now looking back, we see how sick she was, but we chocked it up to age.

Amanda’s treatments have brought her back to a “kid”. I also learned the first time you put the food in front of them, the pureed vegetables, that they may not eat it the first time, but the 2nd time I’ve put it in front of 4 dogs, that they ate it that time. (enzyme levels follow)…. Her enzyes were as follows, her two liver enzymes right before we started the treatment were : ALKP-1499 & ALT-off the chart too high to register after 1 month of Amanda’s treatments: ALKP-158 & ALT-148 2nd month after treatment: ALKP-129 & ALT-148 The 2 kidney enzymes: before treatment: BUN-36 & Creatinine-1.8 1 month after treatment: BUN-34 & Creatinine-1.3 2nd month after treatment: BUN-24 & Creatinine-1.4

March 3/07

We can’t thank you enough for our Kodi’s health! You’ve taken off at least 5 years of her life, she’s went back to when she was almost a baby! We saw a change in her almost since day one of your treatment. We are amazed at her every day! I wish I could hug you, you have given me back my “canine kid.” She’s doing so wonderful, you have made me a firm believer in herbal treatments, at least for dogs!

Thank YOU SO much for giving me my 16 year old dog back to when she was SO young! Not to mention from something that was life threatening, and that our Vet had pretty much given up on her because modern medicine had taken her as far as it could.

Thank YOU Amanda!!!! Shordy, Bob, and most of all Kodi Ramsey

Here is the story of Jasper so far. Last February 06 Jasper became critically ill, he was admitted to the vets which is just down the road from my house luckily. He nearly died apparently. Tests showed that he had a urinary infection and his liver and kidneys was struggling. They thought it might be leptospirosis. As a secondary condition he was also diagnosed with hypothyroidism. The following year was a slow revelation that he was producing Struvite kidney stones and he had renal failure. The renal failure part did not register properly with me as the emphasis was always on the stones. Because they could block his urethra and this would be fatal. Also in time we discovered that Jasper had kidney stones. Whereas struvites are the most common stones in dogs kidney stones are rare. He was referred to the Royal Veterinary College & The Queen Mother Hospital for Small Animals for assessment in April 2006. Test results: Urea 33.6 Ref range 3-9.1mmol/L Creatinine 288 Ref range 98-163mmol/L Amylase 1622 Ref range 176-1245U/L Blood >3+ In October phosphorous was 4.9 By the beginning of December Jasper had stopped urinating & he had blocked. This was an emergency and he was admitted to the Royal Veterinary College again. I was always worried about the surgery because his kidneys would suffer. He had surgery to remove the stones. He came out of it but looked sorry. However, bad news followed, the vets had missed some stones and had to go back in. A second surgery in 5 days! This did not bode well. He came out on the 18 December 06, shaky and a bet sad. He slowly improved but by the 4th January 2007, he was obviously not well. Lethargic and unhappy, no appetite. He was admitted to the vets for IV fluid kidney flush. During this time I had been scouring the net for something to help I found 5 Leaf Pharmacy and just decided I had nothing to lose so I bought the programme on Satruday thinking it would take a week or so but it arrived on Monday the day that Jasper was released home TO DIE. The vets said his kidney values were sky high. Phosphorus 5.19 Creatinine 3.20 They offered to come to the house to put him to sleep. They did not even send off the urine sample because they thought he would be dead in 2 days. Well, I started him on the programme IMMEDIATELY and he very slowly improved. He was eating small amount of homemade food, baby food and kidney support with with some phosphorous binder added. He had one more weekend of IV fluids the flowing weekend, just to give him a boost and get the herbs moving around his body. He gradually improved and the vets were a little baffled. I did not tell they what I was doing until I was sure beyond THEIR reasonable doubt that he really was recovering. 5 weeks into the programme a different vet suggested blood tests and they were amazed. Phosphorus down to 2.31 (normal) 2.19 Creatinine 1.94. I was SO delighted and Jasper was like a new dog, his coat was glossy, he was lively and interested and his appetite was huge. We started him on Sub-Q fluids every 4 days or so just to keep him on the safe side of hydrated. The herbs saved Jasper’s life and kidneys. No doubt the programme really does pull dogs back from the brink of death. So with the utmost gratitude for saving Jasper and keeping hope alive, I salute Amanda and the Five Leaf Pet Pharmacy.

With deepest thanks,

Elizabeth McCarthy and Jasper.

May I take this opportunity to recommend the Canine Kidney Health Products that Five Leaf Pet Pharmacy provided to me when my 5 year old chocolate lab “Love” was diagnosed with renal failure in February 2006. The prognosis for her recovery was not good. Because of this I got on the internet and came across the Five Leaf program. Desperate to do anything I could, I called Five Leaf and ordered the products.

Her condition has improved greatly. In fact, she is more active than she has been in years.

Renal failure as I have found out, is not a death sentence for our beloved pets. Five Leaf Pet Pharmacy has made my dog whole again.

Thank you so much!!!!

On September 26th, 2006, I took our 7 ½ year old Keeshond, Tova, to our veterinarian due to some changes I had noticed in her skin and coat, as well as in her overall health which did not seem up to par. The vet tested Tova for all the conditions that are normally manifested by her skin and coat symptoms as well as a full battery of blood and urine tests.

While the test results did not show anything regarding her skin and coat, the urine test revealed that she was “in the early stages of chronic kidney failure”. On the vet’s recommendation, we proceeded with a three-day I-V hydration treatment. During that time I researched treatments on-line, and found the kidney treatment of the Five Leaf Pet Pharmacy. My husband and I agreed to try to Five Leaf treatment.

We had just begun the treatment (drops, diet, exercise and hydrotherapy) when the vet wanted to re-test Tova following her hydration treatments. The results showed that Tova’s levels had increased for the worse, but the vet did not share the actual results with me so as to keep me from “panicking”. While continuing the Five Leaf treatment, we had Tova’s teeth cleaned since they were quite bad. During the cleaning, the vet extracted one of her teeth as it had been fractured and was decaying.

Following the completion of the Five Leaf treatment, we had Tova tested again. The results were all perfectly NORMAL! On seeing Tova, the vet was quite impressed with how well she looked and acted, commenting on the fact that Tova looks “years younger”, and no longer has a “stressed” look.

It has now been 3½ months and Tova is doing very well. We have kept her on the diet prescribed by the Five Leaf Pet Pharmacy and have noticed other benefits. Since she was a puppy, Tova has never had much interest in eating and for the past 1½ years the vet has had Tova on Pepcid tablets to help with her digestive system. I took her off the tablets when beginning the Five Leaf Pet Pharmacy treatment and have not needed to place Tova on them again. She LOVES the Five Leaf diet and eats her food without coaxing, and at record pace!

My husband and I are so grateful to Amanda and the Five Leaf Pet Pharmacy for all their help and their overall care and concern for canine heath. We have recommended the Five Leaf Pet Pharmacy to our veterinarian and to others and do so whole-heartedly!

Sincerely,

For 13 years we have takin the best of care i believed of the best dog ever,Taz. At the age of 10 was couging or choking when he lay a certain way. We as always, trying to take the best of care, took him to our vet. Heart disease was the diagnosis. Of course whatever it takes meds meds and more meds. I have to say i always hated to see all the stuff he took salix 3 a day, enalapril 2 a day, 2 a day tussigon, 1 a day thyrossin all taking their toll on his kidneys. Not to mention all of the steroids he has been given for the allergies over the years.

All seemed to be stable till Sept of 05. We left for a vacation for 4 days and as always we left Taz in grandma’s hands. Well my wife called to check on things each day. Well Taz wasn’t eating but thats how he has always protested our leaving him for any log time. He was only drinking alot of water. So we were already coming home we got the usual happy greeting from Taz. So we started to see if he would eat and he acted like he wanted to but as soon as he did eat a little up it came. This scared us, this is not Taz. So after a few more days and again going to the vet we were told kidney disease after a blood test. We were told the heart disease was under control but the kidney disease WILL KILL him.

This absolutely crushed us we again decided as long as he is not suffering we’ll do it. So fluids daily till he started eatin again. So in Nov he was back to eatin and actin a little better. The hole time we were prayin for him to make it till each of our Bdays in Nov then before Xmas it happened again. We was told that we had to go back to fluids every day. Well we tried this but nothing they tried was working. We were losing him so i started checkin the net for k9 kidney disease and found this site claiming to reverse the disease. Skeptical to say the least but kept it in mind. After a few days the vet was leaving the next day for vac says to us if you need us we’ll be ready to help. Meaning put Taz down knowin it’s close to time since he has went from 16lbs to 11.9. This told us what we were thinkin already but could’t say.

So when we got home i told my wife we had to try this treatment or thats it. I could not put my best friend through much more. We agreed that if this did not work we would have tried everything. So i spoke to Amanda and filled her in on Tazz’s condition. I asked if it was too late and she replied if he’s breathing it’s never too late to try. So we ordered everything and began treatment, Taz still didn’t eat so we would force feed him. After each week he would act a little better but not eat, i felt almost like he forgot how. So one day while force feeding him i said Tazz if you don’t start eatin on your own we are startin to lose hope in tryin.

That next day i returned home from pickin up a fast food meal at Mcd’s. Well Taz went nuts on the smell, well if he would take any thing he could have it. He inhaled my sandwich we were so happy to see this. Hope had returned w/ the name of Amanda Banting my dogs guardian angel because hope was gone my dog was gone till we tried this life changing, eyeopening treatment.

Taz has been doin great and the other day the vet said he looked 5yrs younger. She cannot explain Tazz’s recovery but as of now he is off all prescription meds unbelievable as the vet said after we broke that news after the 5 yr comment. She said oh my, I must keep an eye on his heart my wife said not really he’s been off of them for months, her jaw dropped. The sad thing is are all the people we see come in and out of the vet and with the same problems without ever even the word of this alternative treatment SAD.

So if anyone me or my wife can get through to PLEASE BELIEVE IN AMANDA SHE WILL DO NOTHING BUT HELP YOU GIVE YOUR FAMILY MEMBER A CHANCE.

Sincerely, Keith Kim and Tazz, 14 and still goin strong.*
