Phivo’s Views On Vaccines

Poisoning - Phivo’s Top Tips MasterChops 2015 Written by Phivo Christodoulou, Organiser.

On November 14th, 2015 the most inspiring lineup of canine health and nutrition experts took to the stage at the Melbourne Convention & Entertainment Centre. MasterChops 2015 was without doubt the most important canine event to ever reach our shores. It left a lasting impression on the lucky attendees.

After connecting with the social media super- man Rodney Habib (Canada) and “The” Dr. Karen Becker (U.S.) I knew that this event had to happen! From one video conference call it was evident that these two remarkable people were the ones to help me start a national conversation about how to improve the health of our dogs.

This was our first major event and a big learning experience. We look forward to coming back with a bigger and better show in the near future.

I owe the hundreds of people that attended (some from as far as Singapore), our sponsors, our helpers, and our local and international guest speakers a massive thank you for volunteering their time to help educate fellow dog lovers about the importance of fresh food.

How amazing it is when people who would normally be seen as competitors, come together with a common goal - to educate canine parents about health and nutrition. Thank you to Dr. Bruce Syme and Dr. Ian Billinghurst for accepting my invitation! Are you or your dog taking medication?

The last thing I would ever want to do is really listen to their doctor if they were told medicate my dogs. Ever. It's a last resort, and to hit the green juice for a month?

What is Augustine’s SuperBoost®? Launched in 2012, Augustine’s SuperBoost® is the world’s first 100% certified organic supplement made entirely from wholefoods and specially formulated for canines. It is based on the formula found in our flagship fresh food product, Augustine’s SuperFood.

This nutritional powerhouse is suitable for ALL dogs and can be added to dry, canned, raw & homemade meals. You can even use the free recipes shown in the last pages of this booklet and on the Augustine Approved® website to make Augustine’s SuperFood at home! Augustine’s SuperBoost® contains ingredients used by top performing athletes. It is packed with alkalising goodness and is not only safe for human consumption, but we actually encourage you to add it to your own food! It is an excellent addition to smoothies.

Why should I add Augustine's SuperBoost® to my dog's diet? Simply put, Augustine's SuperBoost® is just that - a boost. It helps improve quality of life and is often referred to by our customers as a life-saver and a life-extender. It contains a concentration of high quality nutrients that dogs do not normally have access to. No matter how well you currently feed your dog, Augustine's SuperBoost® is a great addition to any canine diet.

Add to dry, canned & raw commercial foods The majority of pet foods rely on synthetic supplementation to compensate for the naturalwholefood nutrients that are destroyed during industrial cooking (irrespective of price or quality of the ingredients). Synthetic supplements are also used to help products meet standards that will permit companies to label their products as ‘nutritionally balanced’. While on paper these products appear to be balanced, it is no secret that many synthetic vitamins lack the important nutritional co-factors needed to assist the body in absorbing and assimilating them. Unlike synthetic vitamins, wholefood complexes are recognised by the body as real food, enabling the body to digest and assimilate wholefood nutrients without having to rob itself of the trace minerals and other co-factors necessary to complete the vitamins’ synergistic operation. Research indicates that, over time, reliance on synthetic vitamins may actually cause nutritional deficiencies. Synthetic vitamins are also often highly processed. They are usually manufactured at high temperatures and moreover contain many artificial or toxic ingredients such as dyes, preservatives, coal tars, sugars, starch, and other additives (similar in molecular structure to paint and plastics).

Augustine’s SuperBoost® is made entirely from highly digestible plant ingredients. You could say that it helps put the goodness back in, that processing takes out.

Add to homemade meals Augustine's SuperBoost® is a great addition to homemade meals (including raw food). It helps improve stools and aids with digestion by promoting healthy organ function.

Many people would love to prepare fresh food for their dogs but may be reluctant to do so because of the fear of producing unbalanced meals. Our recipes have been verified by a leading canine nutritionist as being well balanced. Why not give Augustine’s SuperFood recipes a try?

110g & 1.1kg sizes are available only through Augustine Approved® stockists.

Minimum and maximum amounts are recommendations ONLY. People can feed more or less according to their budget. Even though it is not advised, it is common to see great results in large breed dogs on the Small breed dog feeding guide.

If using Augustine’s SuperBoost® to make our recipes for Augustine’s SuperFood, you will need to use the recommended amount in the recipes which is far more than when adding ASB into an already reasonably balanced food. Failing to do so means the food will not meet nutritional guidelines.

It is a safe and healthy product for cats, however not all cats will enjoy the taste. Do not sprinkle on top of food. For best results mix well into food using Raw Coconut Oil.

Zeolite is a naturally formed mineral, created when volcanic rock and ash meet alkaline water. Zeolite has a unique microporous 'honeycomb' atomic structure with a strong negative charge.

During its formation the zeolite traps valuable trace minerals such as calcium, magnesium and potassium within its framework. The zeolite’s porous ‘honeycomb’ structure, stability and 100% strong negative charge allow it to electro-magnetically trap and hold positively-charged particles, such as heavy metals and other toxins. In order to take on positively-charged ions and toxins, it discharges its beneficial trace minerals through the process that is known as cation exchange. NZ

120g / Jar 4.25oz $69.95 30g / 1.1oz Jar R.R.P. $29.95

The SuperHeal recipe is provided to you free of charge for non-commercial use. The ready made product is also available for your convenience.

Made in Australia from 0% Australian ingredients Product Information For people and animals

What is it and what does it do? SuperHeal is a salve made using three certified organic food ingredients. It was originally produced to help little Mishka address a lump on her tail.

Some people find themselves in situations where surgery is not practical or possible and because SuperHeal is so safe they have nothing to lose by giving it a try.

We make no claims about what SuperHeal can do. R.I.P. Mishka the Maltese 10th July 2001 - 3rd June 2018

Why is SuperHeal unlike other salves? Salves today all contain at least one chemical. Irrespective of how safe these chemicals may be, there may be legal limitations as to who can purchase them or for how the final product can be promoted.

SuperHeal is not only safe but also healthy to consume and there are no legal restrictions attached to it. The ingredients are readily available to the everyday person without the need for permits or licenses.

SuperHeal was taken to market with the knowledge that many effective natural remedies are shot down so my intention is to ensure that: - Anyone can make SuperHeal at home from ingredients that will never be banned. - In the unlikely event that we close our doors, the knowledge will remain for all to continue to benefit.

Please YouTube search Dog vs Lump to view relevant videos and most importantly, please use the QR Code or Search “12 Life Changing Tips To Help Prevent Disease”. The Recipe

How do I make SuperHeal? Mix these three certified organic ingredients together and bottle in a glass jar to create SuperHeal: - Raw Coconut Oil (virgin cold-pressed) - 1 Part - Turmeric Powder - 1 Part - Lecithin Powder - 1 Part

What else will I need? - Powder-free food handling gloves to avoid staining hands. For the greatest consistency the best way to mix up SuperHeal is with your hands for at least two minutes. - Cotton bud to apply SuperHeal. - Bandage and tape, adhesive bandage or large square water proof Band-Aids from your pharmacy. Remember, you will need to reapply SuperHeal daily. - To avoid an animal trying to scratch the area, you may wish to purchase a plastic cone or donut from your veterinarian (the same kind used when a dog has been desexed).

Directions - Apply SuperHeal daily for 7 days. Allow area to air for 24 hours. Re-apply daily for another 2-5 days or until the lump pops or falls off. Keep an eye on the wound and ensure it does not get infected. Please note that there is no correct way or length of time to apply - results will vary. - Continuing to apply SuperHeal may aid in the normal healing of the wound. - We have had reports of SuperHeal working without bandaging but it is highly recommended that you stick to our method. - The efficacy of SuperHeal will vary depending on the quality of the ingredients you use. If you are uncertain about the quality of the ingredients available to you, we recommend purchasing our ready-made SuperHeal. We import the purest and highest-grade ingredients we can find and we know with absolute certainty that no one else in Australia imports our grade of lecithin. You are also welcome to purchase the individual ingredients from us and make SuperHeal at home.

Storage SuperHeal has natural properties that give it a long shelf life, but it is best to keep refrigerated to avoid separation.

Warning SuperHeal contains turmeric which stains everything it comes in contact with. Please keep the area well covered to avoid staining your home.

Disclaimer Prevention is better than cure and diet is everything. Please consult your doctor or vet before using SuperHeal. We make no claims that SuperHeal will treat or cure you or your animals in any way shape or form. We were pleased with the results and we sincerely hope you will be too.

For females, early spaying University, where she took a required course (spaying at a young age) was thought to eliminate in reproduction. the risk of pyometra (a disease of the uterus), and reduce the incidence of mammary tumors. Results of a study published in 2012 in the Journal of Small Animal Practice were unable to validate the theory that early spaying protects female dogs from mammary neoplasia. This leaves the elimination of the risk of pyometra as the sole health benefit of early spays.

Given the mounting evidence that intact animals may have fewer long-term health problems than sterilised pets, the last remaining issue surrounding this topic appears to be ethical, as in: responsible sterilisation to reduce the millions of unwanted litters of puppies and kittens feeding the Intrigued?

In Scandinavian countries – Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland – routine surgical sterilisation of pets is prohibited. It is actually illegal unless medically necessary. The responsibility for controlling an animal’s reproduction falls to the owner.

There are also more non-surgical alternatives for sterilising pets available in Europe than there are in the United States. Of course, this is primarily due to pet owner demand in countries where surgical sterilisation for purposes of contraception Featuring Dr. Karen Becker. is illegal.

Dogs and cats with periodontal disease which are left untreated typically have their life expectancy shortened by approx. one to five years.

Traditionally your dog or cat would have to go to your veterinarian and have its teeth cleaned of all plaque and tartar under general anaesthesia, involving blood work and to be placed on a drip while in recovery. This method is usually very expensive, and anaesthesia comes with potential side-effects. Note: these procedures are elective and not covered by pet insurance.

Many pet parents are reluctant to put their much loved four legged family members under anaesthesia when their teeth and gum health does not appear to be in severe strife.

Unfortunately, by the time your pet’s breath begins to smell bad, it is most likely suffering with stage 1 or stage 2 periodontal disease which is affecting it’s health.

The truth is that there is a time and place for everything. Kibble and canned foods are great Isn't it ironic that all the veterinary approved for short term use - for convenience when we prescription foods for conditions like diabetes, are in a hurry or going on short holidays, for gastrointestinal issues or even those that offer when we have budget or time constraints, arthritis support are at their core, inflammatory? and they are very useful to foster carers, Sure, they may provide some nutritional benefit rescue groups & shelters. for certain conditions but why are we trying to treat inflammatory conditions with a staple diet One could argue that inflammation (acid) is that is inflammatory? the root cause of all disease so if we can help it, why would we feed our dogs inflammatory If you can; feed fresh, raw nutritionally alive foods foods?

Fresh wholefoods such as vegetables and fruit are full of live enzymes and will add a new dimension to your dog’s health. Wholefoods are also full of fibre, which aids digestion and improves stools.

These nutrients are synthetic imitations of those found in nature, and therein lies the vast difference between wholefoods and industrially-produced foods: Unlike Discuss the ingredients with the person or company most synthetic nutrients, wholefoods contain the recommending the products.

Directions

1. Look at the Feeding Guide on our website and decide how much food you would like to make. We recommend making at least 7 days worth.

2. Cooked lentils weigh approx. 2.5 times their raw weight. For example if you would like 60g of cooked lentils use 24g raw. Soak the green lentils in warm water for at least 1 hour. Drain water and rinse in strainer until water runs clear. Add new water and boil till cooked. Empty into strainer, rinse until clear and cool. Shake well to remove any remaining water.

3. Coconut oil hardens or liquefies depending on room temperature. If it is in a solid state place the bottle into a sink with hot water until it liquefies. This causes no harm to the nutrients and you can do this as many times as necessary. There are many varieties of coconut oil but please only use raw coconut oil (virgin cold-pressed).
