The longer we keep pets, the more diverse health problems we see. Both pet owners and veterinarians are finding that as our environment becomes more toxic, the less able our pets systems are to function normally, and so we are seeing a steady increase in cancers, autoimmune and other diseases.

One emerging finding in human diseases such as CFS, Lyme, MS and other diseases for which no specific cause has been found, is that organisms, such as bacteria, mycoplasma and spirochetes are being discovered in humans with these diseases. For those of us struggling with these diseases ourselves, it is no surprise to us to find that they can occur in animals, as well.
