There are some people that know of what my family has endured since 2021 with my son Koen. I didn’t speak of it with too many, because I knew that most would not understand, or want to understand, and possibly think I was a little nuts. What happened to Koen seemed unrealistic, yet it was very real. I was scared to tell, and instead when people became aware of the fact that Koen had a ‘condition’, it was never mentioned, in detail, what actually was …
I had repeatedly fought with myself recently over the answers to the questions… “do I tell?”, “When do I tell?” And, “Is this too good to be true?” Why? Because I can’t even process the experience in order to fully believe it myself! This started as an ‘event type’ which I have experienced many times in the past 10+ years, and which has always ended with a call to the vet and ‘crossing the dog over’.

In May of 2018, I was given a few sample bottles of Tracite Minerals to try. It was something that Nzymes was considering adding to their line of people products, and wanted feedback. I had my doubts I had tried something similar just a few years before. It was called Humic Fulvic.

My Discovery Journey with DM in Dogs I have learned so very much about ‘Dogs and Degenerative Myelopathy (DM)’ in recent years, after also having learned and done so much work with Lyme disease issues. Did you know the two are connected? It’s crazy!! Let’s dig into that. I worked with a dog named Gus five years ago. He’d been diagnosed with DM. What I did not know at that time, was that he’d been diagnosed with Lyme disease two years earlier. And at …
When One Door Closes… Eli’s Story Losing Shelby on January 6th, 2018 was one of the hardest days/times I ever endured. My sweet Chocolate Lab, whom I had devoted the past year to, fighting for her to become healthy and well, was gone. In that instant of hearing the news that there was No Hope, left me reeling, wondering how I could ever go on without her. I felt as if I’d failed. Not only myself but her too. How …
