Animals: Lizzie

"LIZZIE" is a very lively, 6-year-old Yorkshire Terrier. Each summer and autumn between 1995 and 1999 she developed the distressingly itching eruptions of a typical allergic dermatitis (atopy). Her rash was so bad that it had to be controlled with steroids to stop her immune system from reacting in this way. By August 1999 she had been on the steroids for 5 years, and yet the problem was still surfacing as soon as the dose of her medication was reduced. For 2 months homeopathic remedies were used, and these helped to reduce the amount of drugs she needed, but she was still itchy and was developing new spots.

Lizzie initially had two courses of EFT, one in December 1999, the second in January 2000. For a couple of months she had quite a severe cleansing reaction, her body clearing out the toxins she had accumulated as a result of both the disease and the drugs she had received. She was much itchier than normal for a while and also had a cough for a brief period, both of which were good signs. By the beginning of April 2000, all her itching had ceased and the rash had gone. She had not had any drugs since the beginning of the year and was much happier than she had been for a long time.

Lizzie started to become a little itchy again in August 2000, which is the time of the year her condition has reached its peak intensity in previous years. We repeated the EFT in the same month and she is now back to normal again.
