My friend has suggested that I add beta glucogan or beta glucocan ( SP ?) to help build/keep immunity?

I looked at this in a health store and it’s kinda expensive.

Is this a good choice ? Is there something better ? I thought vitamin C (ascorbic acid) was the best ?

Thanks.

Save your money and stick with foods. Organic fruits and veggies do a better job at strongly building and maintaining immune health and it’s lighter on the wallet. For ex: I consume a 3000 daily caloric diet, but I always incorporate 10 servings of fruits and raw veggies into this palate. Why? I never get sick. So, it works. It’s also sound judgement to cut out those “foods” that rob nutrients like, for one, refined sugar, and for two, partially hydrogenated veg. oils. This is a no-brainer, literally. Not only is it not good for brain health, but it also places your body in an acidic state, leaving you susceptible to diseases. Everytime my parents turned around, when I was a child, I was always taking Amoxycilin, Tetracycline, some crap for bacterial infections. I had many episodes of viral infections…colds that were innumerible as a kid. I was a sugaraholic. I loved it, and I was wired constantly. It didn’t stop in my teens and 20’s, but after so many years, I couldn’t take anymore of it and did my own research. For a time, I got into the supplements like you, taking every name of supplement I couldn’t even pronounce for lots of money per bottle. They didn’t work as well as whole foods. Whole, raw foods are impecable at what they do for you. They’re not only foods, but they’re nature’s medicine for your body. Believe it or not, a natural food store owner convinced me of this. So, it was no surprise I only shopped at his store for just the topicals and not the supplements. He gave me the nitty gritty on what it was all really about, plus, he’s a biochemist and a professor at a local college, so that helped a bit.
I hope this helped some, if not, at least I placed my input. Good luck to you.

I now give him a bowl of dry food and a half can of wet food. I mix in 1/4tsp of missing link for additional fiber.

I have tried
Before the grain, he seems to only like the salmon flavor.
Evo dry (the purple turkey & chicken) So far this is his favorite dry food
Evo wet: Tried all flavors but only likes the Beef and Duck.
Newmans Own. He didn’t like either flavors I bought.
Chicken Soup For a Kittens Soul. He liked it, but I’m still unsure about this canned cat food.
Holistic canned. Did not like the duck flavor.
Instinct: Rabbit flavor. He did like this.
Serengeti Dry food. I bought it but haven’t opened it yet
and
Taste Of The Rockys (Venison & Salmon). He eats it, but not sure if he really likes it.

Are any of these foods I gave him bad? What ones in your opinion are better than the others?

The reason I ask is because I just got done reading: http://www.homevet.com/petcare/foodbook.html

and it scared me. So I want to make sure I’m feeding my cat the best food. Any suggestions?

Answer by bloomorningglory
You’re doing well, lucky kitten I haven’t heard of Serengeti but all of the others (Taste of the Wild maybe?) are really good quality foods. Best foods in my opinion are grain free and don’t have too much fish. Grain-free that I know of are Wellness Core, Felidae (several versions, grain free is best), Taste of the Wild, EVO..

I’m actually reading that book now but I’ve seen a good amount of the information before. It never stops surprising me though..

First of all, I’m pretty disturbed that my vet would push a product manufactured by a heartless company that has a strong track record of selling very unhealthy pet products.

But, while I’m still tying to figure out why my vet is pushing Purina products, I glance at the product ingredients and find Animal Digest listed as the primary ingredient and below that I find that the product contains only one probiotic organism – Enterococcus Faecium – a bacteria which I had never heard of, and which seems to be fairly well known for its ability to occasionally cause problems.
Yet my vet stressed that I must give this supplement to my cat?
I should probably add that my cat has a bleeding stomach ulcer, in case that has bearing on which types of probiotics I should choose.

Answer by minx
i was also diagnosed with IBS (amongst a plethora of other ailments such as arthritis, bipolar, schizophrenia ~ all redundant diagnoses as it was all simple food intolerances ) and at my own instigation i finally worked out that IBS for me was a BS label for a collection of food intolerances ……….. if i consume anything containing wheat i will get ghastly stomach aches and cramping …….. thing is, the tummy aches only appear 12 hours later making it extremely difficult to pinpoint the cause if you aren’t thinking along those lines ……. try ditching the wheat, pasta, bread products and replace them with organic brown rice or quinoa (pronounced keen-wah) …… if it is a wheat intolerance you will notice a dramatic improvement within 24 hours ……… almost as if by magic !! pretty much you need to stop eating processed and packaged foods and eat loads of leafy and green vegies, brown rice, some lean meats and fishes and some low sugar fruits such as strawberries, watermelons, pears, cantalope and blueberries ……. large ask i know but the results are dramatically beneficial…… also ensure that you stay well hydrated and drink at least 8 glasses of water daily as water is paramount for digestion, neural functioning, transporting nutrients, lubricating your joints, thinking clearly, actually for every single cellular function.

Sadly, when one is intolerant to wheat and the gluten contained therein it usually goes hand in hand with lactose intolerance (inability to digest the lactose contained in milk and dairy products) ……. be aware of your bodies reactions to food that you eat and eat one food at a time …… leaving a 2 – 3 hour gap between milk and dairy products and other foods will tell you whether or not you are intolerant ….. symptoms such as bloating, gassiness, excessive belching and burping, acid reflux, constipation could indicate lactose intolerance.

Buy yourself a book called What your Doctor may Not tell you about IBS ~ by Richard N.Ash, M.D……… and live a pain free, drug free life.

peace baby
