Bertie became very poorly again as I reported in the Forum. I knew already from past experience that the vet would only be able to offer steroid again! and we probably all remember that it made him very sick. I still went to the vet though!!! I had the idea that if this couldn't be healed, I should put Bertie out of pain. I asked the vet, 'What would you do in my place?'...she pondered a moment and then said 'I'd give the steroid another try' so...I did.
The results were the same, he was terribly sick after only one dose and that in spite of the stomach buffer she also prescribed!! What to do? I looked at Bertie long and hard, trying to figure out what was for the best.....Here is a dog who loves his food, just found a home where he could relax ( or at least practise relaxing!! ), loved his games and was fast learning that humans can sometimes be very kind and loving. This brought me to a moment of Truth !! a moment in which I had a conversation with myself....a long overdue conversation in fact.
It went something like this.....'For goodness sake Jil, you had a thorough training plus a course in Anatomy ( as part of it ) in a form of Healing which ....when correctly applied....gives excellent results. Why can't you help Bertie? I had been giving him hands on healing....., something I have done naturally since the age of 8....but it was not sustaining the improvement it initially made. Something else was required.
What I studied 30 years ago with a brilliant Teacher, was Radiesthesia....which involves ' broadcasting' remedies to a holographic model of the sick animal or person. Although I never took it up professionally, I had used it from time to time to help various friends and animals. Why didn't I take this forward with Bertie?
Well....on reflection, I saw that a series of 'life changing challenges' ..(.let's put it like that!! ) which most of us face at some point in our lives ,stole my confidence....have you been there? It would be more truthful to say that I gave my confidence away to those situations and events!! After all, our reactions are chosen ....at least to some extent. Having faced this rather squarely, I set to work on Bertie.
It involved broadcasting Chondroitine and Glucosamine plus Arnica at 7CH. When one get's it right, the result can be dramatic. Happily it has been Bertie's saving grace......Today, we all walked for an hour.....Bertie had little or no pain on our return home.
What I discovered was that he has some arthritic discs just below the neck. In addition to the treatment, I add the same remedies to Bertie's dinner plus Rosie's Arthritis Essence and hope that eventually this supplementation will replace the broadcast. Our vet willl be very surprised!!! I make no great claims that it will always be the perfect answer for him but the point is....it works for NOW!! and NOW is all we have. xx
