Last week, again, we got an AMAZING success story! This time e-mailed in to us by Julie Noble. All of us here at NWC Naturals would like to take this opportunity to thank you Julie, and all of our loyal customers who have sent your success stories in. We realize it takes time on your part to type out such extensive testimonials, and we’d like to thank you for allowing us to share each and every one of your stories with our entire customer base! We really do appreciate it.
Julie’s letter to us read as follows:
Hello Dr. John,
Regarding the success we’ve had with Total-Zymes® , please allow me to give you a brief story about our shepherds. Emma Joon and Brody are littermates and will be 3 years old on the 23rd of this month, and we’ve had them since they were 7 1/2 weeks old. When Brody was about 8 months old he was officially diagnosed with severe hip dysplaysia in his left hip and a mild case in his right. Since he was too old for the surgery that can be done on really young dogs and too young for hip replacement, we opted to have the vet perform FOS surgery on him because he was in so much pain and couldn’t wait till he was two for the hip replacement. For the first year, his healing progress was very slow. He favored the left side and continued to limp for the whole first year or so. Our prayer then was that he healed quickly to avoid any unnecessary strain on the other side. We were afraid the right side would get worse since it was bearing all of the weight. But thankfully, that didn’t happen. Emma shows not evidence of dysplaysia yet and is as agile as a cat. She’s very athletic and has the hind quarter muscle appearance of a fine quarter horse. She is very fast and never stops.
Around about July of 2010 (they were 15 mos old at that time), I decided to start both of them on Glucosamine and chondroitin. After talking with a friend of mine who is a licensed nutritionist and is very knowledgeable in animal nutrition as well, I started them on Glucosamine Sulfate…1000mg/day(1 capsule 2x/day w/a.m. & p.m. meals); and a Collagen supplement at 700mg/day (1 capsule 2x/day a.m. & evening meals). I also give them 500mg L-Carnitine per day (1 tablet 2x/day am & pm) for heart health and fat metabolism. I also opted to put them on a grain free diet and started them on Precise Brand “Foundation” kibble. And upon the recommendation of our vet, particularly for Brody, they started getting Omega 3 Fish oil for pets at about this time as well. They also get a wide variety of grain-free treats with varying protein, carbohydrate, vegetable and fruit sources every day. They also get lots of raw veggies and fruits as snacks too. So you see, they have quite an extensive diet regimen. Well, I got to thinking about all this complexity and wondered if they were indeed getting the most out of what they were eating and did some research on digestive enzymes. Needless to say, I was very impressed with the information I found on your site petenzymes.com. So I bought the little chewable Total-Zymes® Plus™ which I give them with their treats every night. Mostly for the digestive enzyme part but the probiotic part is a bonus. Long story short, about 6 months after I started them on the Total-Zymes® powder, I started noticing a marked difference in Brody….he wasn’t limping anymore and wasn’t favoring his FOS hip either. I also notice more energy, and strength as well as a leaner physique in both of them. Not that Emma Joon NEEDs anymore energy, but it was wonderful to watch her stamina. All in all, I am very pleased with the results I’ve seen and will continue to use Total-Zymes® powder and Total-Zymes® Plus™ tabs for as long as you keep making them.
So thank you very much, Dr. John. I look very forward to learning about new products you come up with in the future.
Most sincerely,
Julie, Emma Joon, and Brody Noble
