Animals: Cassie

We first saw Cassie in November 2000 when she attended our clinic for a holistic consultation. She had been suffering from itching and severe recurrent skin infections for 6 years (since she was only 3 months old). Between January to November 2000 alone, she had had 9 consultations and received 25 batches of medication, which included local and systemic antibiotics, skin washes, ear and eye preparations and antihistamines.

Changing Cassie onto a natural diet and supplementing her diet with oils, kelp, yeast tablets and trace element/mineral tablets helped a great deal. For 6 months she was much less troubled by her skin, which her owners estimated as being 60% to 70% less itchy. She did not need any drugs during this period, but was prescribed two courses of homeopathic remedies and one course of flower essences.

In April 2001 however, Cassie's eruptions and itching returned with a vengeance. Over the next 6 weeks her condition waxed and waned, being helped largely by antibiotics to alleviate the secondary infection and homoeopathically prepared mixed grasses. As Cassie's initial improvement was faltering, we decided to proceed to EFT.

To date Cassie has had three courses of EFT and has shown a marked improvement in both the intensity and frequency of her itching after each treatment. She has needed less and less of any natural medicines to support this process and virtually no conventional drugs at all.
