I was speaking of the article Rene d posted here: http://www.petdietdesigner.com/blog/entry/cosmos-urinary-stones They determined their dog had oxalate crystals, both by diet experimentation and also by x-ray and then surgery.

I respect your point of view, but I disagree with your statement about only a vet can prescribe treatment. God gave us all brains to research, ask questions, involve other experts, share our own stories, etc. I’ve healed a whole lot of things without running to a vet, an MD or a pharmaceutical drug. It’s a more natural way to treat dis-ease. Of course in extreme circumstances there are reasons for the vet and drugs and surgery. I’m not against those, but maybe our medical system wouldn’t be so screwed up and people and pets would be healthier, if we ate better and used more common sense, rather than ran to an “expert” who is often just “practicing” on us anyway. That’s my personal experience and point of view. Your mileage and experience may vary.
