I have used a Pyrrolizidine alkaloid-free form of Symphytum [extract

given in herbal doses] in cats with great success. I also tracked the

progress of fractures, femurs exploded into many pieces and dental

fractures where both patients were advised to have expensive surgical

treatments.

 

Cat#1 (broken jaw) was sent to 4 different veterinary facilities for

a surgical dental bar and quotes of over $1600. I treated him (jaw

stabilized with figure 8 wiring, followed by symphytum extract and

gruel). The healing went so well you could never tell he had been

hurt.

 

Cat #2 was run over viciously with a bike; the femur was broken in at

least 20 pieces. The injury was over a week old and literally

appeared to have " exploded inside the leg " . I treated him with cage

confinement plus 21 days of symphytum. Follow up x-ray was amazing,

the bone looked like a club or bat but there were extensions grabbing

all the pieces to reunite them. That cat also never had invasive

surgery and you couldn't tell he had ever been hurt.

 

That form of Symphytum was obtained at our local health food store

and I believe was with the Frontier Products. I returned to pick up

more about 3 years ago only to find that they had been forced to

remove the product off the shelves.

 

It figures! The product works, cuts into the expensive allopathic >

alternatives and so product is removed.

 

Running a cat clinic I never ever had a problem with its use and you

sure would've thought if anyone would have a problem it would be a

cat. The liquid was administered to both cats each had been about 10

lbs at 1/4 dropperful per day.

 

I have heard of using Symphytum in homeopathic form. I did use this

form to close a puppy born with a cleft palate. I have sequential

pictures of that, so I know the product works in material dosing and

homeopathic form. Good to know the other testimonial [from Philip

McManus re homeopathic Symph in non-union fractures in dogs and

horses].

 

Best regards,
