Excerpts from Dr. Nancy Brandt’sBook – “First Aid with Veterinary

Medical Aromatherapy® Published 2016

FIRST AID QUESTIONS KNOW BEFORE YOU NEED TO

What – Why – When – How – Who

Which oils are used for what

Why they help and what they do

When they are most effective

How to apply for most effectiveness

Who and where to get help from

First aid is what you are able to do before and on

your way to the veterinarian. I have traveled

worldwide and in each area I go to shelters and

rescues to work with the animal caregivers. Often

they have no access to veterinary care for their

animals. These animals range from elephants,

monkeys, horses, chickens, goats, to dogs and

3

cats. What I leave them with is this first aid kit

and a way to purchase essential oils. I have found

what are the safest and most effective essential

oils to use and the how, over the last 20 years.

I have tested many essential oil companies’

products; I stick to very select few. If you want the

results described in this book, then know WHAT

oil you purchase as this determines How Safe &

Effective the first aid will be. You can harm or

even kill a small pet with a poorly created

essential oil.

My mission here is to keep pets safe and vital.

To keep them around so we can enhance each

other’s lives. Do not short them in any way by

poorly selecting essential oils.

First Aid Use of Oils

More Neat (undiluted) applications

More concentrated short term use

These first aid techniques are not intended for

long term chronic diseases. Long term uses are

outlined in Dr. Nancy Brandt’s book, “The Safe

and Effective Veterinary Medical Aromatherapy ®,

Essential oil first aid is the immediate and

concentrated use of essential oils to support

cellular function while on the way to the

veterinarian for proper diagnosis and prescription.

Excerpts from Dr. Nancy Brandt’sBook – “Chemical Free Pets”

Published 2016

Chemical Dangers

Too many Straws on the camel’s back adds up to TOXIC. Toxic is a state of ………

DeadlyHarmfulLethalNoxiousPerniciousVirulentBaneful

MephiticPestilentialPoisonSepticToxicantVenomous

A Biological System in DIS-EASE or DIS-FUNCTION

15

The Toxic Substance Control Act (TSCA) of 1976grandfathered in estimated 65,000-100,000 chemicalscurrently on the market today. What does this mean to youand your family? It simply means – “These chemicals havenot had any safety testing and we know very littleinformation about their effects.” Of the chemicals tested,toxic labeling is required only if 50% or more of the animalstested with a chemical die. Under the TSCA, manufacturersare protected by trade secret laws that allow them to keeptheir ingredient lists a secret. It is anyone would knowinglyinflict such exposures on their families –infants, children,pets and themselves if products routinely used were labeledwith explicit warning of cancer risks’ says Dr. SamuelEpstein, chairman of the Cancer Prevention Coalition andemeritus Professor of Occupational and EnvironmentalMedicine at the University of Illinois, School of PublicHealth at Chicago, and leading international authority on‘toxicology’ and the carcinogenic effects of contaminants inconsumer products.

“The AmericanCancer Society

estimates a 50% risein cancer rates by the

year 2020”

Rise in disease has many factors; there is an aging population, an increase in obesity and a significant increase in the toxicity of the world. Our pets are also falling prey to age, obesity and toxicity.

What we think to be safe and are chosen often with the best of intents often are self-intoxicating. Even with extensive Google research we fall prey to the extensive marketing ploys of the consumer goods driven economy. Safety tests are often done on a group of animals that are healthy and young. Many studies are deemed safe if only50% of the animals die in the study. So they are saying a 50:50 chance of being safe. That is not safe for me. If anairline had a 50% safety rating I would not fly them.

Why must we raise Chemical Free Pets

We must reduce our environmental impact. We must transform from consumerism to sustainability.

Step back from marketing, step back from having our pets fulfill our needs to nurture and be nurtured. See our pets as part of the fragile ecosystem of the planet reminding us to return to our roots of cooperative living with nature. Our pets are serving to remind us to save this planet by any means necessary and that means is Go Green use nature again in a sustainable way and stop raping her resources and filling her up with unwanted previously wanted entertainment items.
