“Writing this testimonial on my experiences with owner Darleen seems the least I could do for all the sound advice and help she’s given me and my year and a half old Chocolate Lab, Mason. A little over a week after Mason was neutered he started to develop Grand Mal Seizures, having anywhere from 1-3 a week. It was pretty tough to watch and when we brought him to the Vet he was given an array of tests, which he said all came back normal. He then started to have more seizures and sometimes 3 a day and was diagnosed with idiopathic epilepsy, basically epilepsy with no known cause.
My vet said the only thing he could do was to prescribe Phenobarbital and if that doesn’t work, some really expensive and strong anti-convulsing medicine. The Phenobarbital made him constipated, hyper, excessively hungry and thirsty and worst of all he continued to have just as many seizures. The only response from my vet was to increase the dosage of Phenobarbital, because he wasn’t at the maximum dose yet...

“I cannot thank Darleen enough! My two-year-old poodle started to have seizures a couple of months apart. They gradually occurred more and more frequently until he was having about one a week and his vet was ready to put him on meds. I desperately searched the web for alternatives and came across Darleen. Between the awesome testimonials and Darleen's personal assistance, I was sold and decided to try it. Since her recommendations, he's had one seizure in 5 months! His entire vet's office is completely floored and I'm so happy that my little buddy can now live a high quality life (and I can sleep better too).”

"Darleen. . . I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart and soul for your kindness in answering my letter and your vast knowledge that you shared with me. I am starting Taz on this diet and praying each and every moment that I can keep him with me a little bit longer. I deeply appreciate your help and may God Bless and watch over you and the Angels lift you up always."

"Dear Darleen, Since being diagnosed with pancreatitis a year ago, Fred has had bouts of pain, vomiting and diarrhea. The last bout four months ago, convinced me that there must be a solution to his discomfort. I did some research on line and came up with your site. He is not only more lively, energetic and romping around. BUT the blood work done recently shows his pancreatic numbers to be exactly where they should be. My vet said, 'Good Job'. Terrific, Darleen. He is healthy other than the odd appearance of pancreatitis. And now I can look forward to Frederic's future health and longevity."

"Before I found you, my sweet cat, Big Momma, was suffering badly. Throwing up, horrible diarrhea and losing weight rapidly. I had taken her to different vets, spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars and they couldn't tell me a thing. I was ready to have her put down to alleviate her suffering but decided to see what I could find out through my own investigating online. This led me to your website and Darleen. She helped me with diagnosing Big Momma's condition and suggesting what supplements and care I should try. I followed her direction and used the wonderful supplements (which, by the way, are inexpensive and all natural! Big Momma didn't have any adverse reactions to any of them!) My sweet kitty is now on the road to recovery. Slowly but surely she is making a comeback. I can't say enough about the care that both me and my cat have received! I just wish I had found you sooner!"

“Darleen gave me a consultation for my dog in his youth. I followed her dietary recommendations until the day he died...he lived to just shy of 14 years old...I believe that Darleen’s consultation gave me several extra years with my baby. I’m eternally grateful.
