			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Having provided Bovine, Porcine, and even Elk Bone meal for the past 20 years to our customers, we have grown alarmed with the issues surrounding these all natural sources. Governmental regulations have caused our impeccable suppliers to remove themselves from supplying us with these products. </p>
<p>We have developed using all human grade ingredients, a new product that we have dubbed Bone Builder. Its design would also allow us to call it muscle builder as well. Bone Builder allows us to mimic the best effects of Bovine, Porcine and even our very popular Organic Elk Bone meal. </p>
<p>All minerals extracted are from certified Organic sources and are safe for even human consumption. </p>
<p>Calcium is essential for building strong bones and teeth. It also works in a proper functioning of body’s cell membranes. Calcium plays an important role in muscle growth, blood clotting and heart stabilization. It reduces nervous disorders and muscle cramps.</p>
<p><span> </span></p>
<p>To make Bone Builder better than traditional bone meals, Nature’s Farmacy has boosted up the Magnesium level to .50%. Magnesium is necessary for growth and development, wound healing, immune system function, nervous and cardiovascular system health, and the absorption of calcium. Magnesium regulates active calcium transport and is important for strong bones.</p>
<p>Where calcium stimulates the muscles, magnesium is used to relax the muscles.</p>
<p>Phosphorous is considered the twin nutrient to Calcium. Phosphorous hardens the bones and teeth. Phosphorous plays an important role in transforming proteins, fats and carbohydrates into fuel.</p>
<p>Phosphorous in also needed for the blood’s acid balance or pH.</p>
<p>Copper is involved in red blood cell proliferation and maximizes the oxygen intake of cells. This mineral enhances the blood vessel’s strength and elasticity and does protective work preventing cell damage. </p>
<p>Iron is a red blood cell component and therefore essential in oxygen’s circulation.  Iron also is recognized to promote muscle function.</p>
<p>Zinc is involved in most of the body’s metabolic processes. First in encourages the healing of wounds and burns. Secondly, Zinc increases the sensibility of all sensory organs. Thirdly it enhances the immune system. It is necessary to insure the proper functioning of insulin and normalizes the formation of collagen in the body.</p>
<p>Manganese is essential in all enzymatic systems and necessary in bone structure.</p>
<p>Iodine has long been recognized for its role in Thyroid function. </p>
<p>Cobalt is an essential precursor to the absorption of B-12 vitamins.</p>
<p>Bone Builder M122 is available <a href="http://www.naturesfarmacy.com/store/details.php?prodId=218&amp;category=" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pure organic and natural <a href="http://www.naturesfarmacy.com/store/details.php?prodId=225&amp;category=" target="_blank">Muscle Builder</a> is the ultimate whey protein isolate source for Canine athletes and health-conscious owners/handlers who want to build or maintain muscle mass on the Canine companions. Unlike other products, <a href="http://www.naturesfarmacy.com/store/details.php?prodId=225&amp;category=" target="_blank">Muscle Builder</a> contains no protein blends or unwanted ingredients. Purified through a proprietary ion exchange process, <a href="http://www.naturesfarmacy.com/store/details.php?prodId=225&amp;category=" target="_blank">Muscle Builder</a> contains all of the essential amino acids, and is rich in branched chain amino acids (BCAAs), which are metabolized directly and absorbed quickly into muscle tissue.</p>
<p>This exciting DOG<em>ZYMES</em>® product, containing no carbohydrates, no fats, no sugars, no lactose, no artificial flavors is all natural and comes from only grass fed cows in New Zealand. DOG<em>ZYMES</em>® <a href="http://www.naturesfarmacy.com/store/details.php?prodId=225&amp;category=" target="_blank">Muscle Builder</a> is 100% organically produced whey proteins isolate and Organic Peruvian Maca. An enhancing probiotic package is included to further its absorption into the Canine body. No preservatives and no fillers make DOG<em>ZYMES</em>® <a href="http://www.naturesfarmacy.com/store/details.php?prodId=225&amp;category=" target="_blank">Muscle Builder</a> the only choice for Canine athletes.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.naturesfarmacy.com/store/details.php?prodId=225&amp;category=" target="_blank">Muscle Builder</a> is comprised of high-biological-value proteins and proteins that have different functions. The main whey proteins are beta-lactoglobulin and alpha-lactoglobulin, two small globular proteins that account for about 70 to 80% of total whey protein. Proteins present in lesser amounts include the immunoglobulins IgG, IgA and IgM, but especially IgG, glycomacropeptides, bovine serum albumin, lactoferrin.</p>
<p>High-protein diets like those containing DOG<em>ZYMES</em>® <a href="http://www.naturesfarmacy.com/store/details.php?prodId=225&amp;category=" target="_blank">Muscle Builder</a> have been found to reduce body weight and increase insulin sensitivity. There are several animal studies in which whey and whey factors are said to exert some positive effects on immunity and cancer. Observed immuno-enhancing properties are believed by some researchers to be related only partially to <a href="http://www.naturesfarmacy.com/store/details.php?prodId=225&amp;category=" target="_blank">Muscle Builder’s</a> nutritional effects. Enhancement of host humoral immune response has been associated, in some of these studies, with whey&#8217;s role in increasing glutathione levels in the body.</p>
<p>In animal studies at Australia’s University of Adelaide, whey proteins were found to be protective against colon cancer, relative to red meat and some other protein sources. A whey protein diet significantly decreased tumor burden and extended life in mice with colon cancer, compared to mice with colon cancer fed-standard diets.</p>
<p>Feed up to 1 gram of organic DOG<em>ZYMES</em>® <a href="http://www.naturesfarmacy.com/store/details.php?prodId=225&amp;category=" target="_blank">Muscle Builder</a> per pound of body weight. Store at room temperature.</p>
<p><span>Muscle Builder can be purchased </span><span><span style="color: #008000;"><a href="http://www.naturesfarmacy.com/store/details.php?prodId=225&amp;category=" target="_blank">here</a></span>. </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What is <a href="http://www.naturesfarmacy.com/store/details.php?prodId=177&amp;category=" target="_blank">MSM</a>? <a href="http://www.naturesfarmacy.com/store/details.php?prodId=177&amp;category=" target="_blank">MSM</a> is derived from DMSO a liquid by product from the pulp paper industry. It is absolutely impossible for <a href="http://www.naturesfarmacy.com/store/details.php?prodId=177&amp;category=" target="_blank">MSM</a> to be an all natural product; rather it is a chemical derivative.</p>
<p>Sulfur is present in every cell of every living organism. Although we do get sulfur from much of what we eat there are cases that require <a href="http://www.naturesfarmacy.com/store/details.php?prodId=177&amp;category=" target="_blank">MSM</a> supplementation. Some animal research indicates <a href="http://www.naturesfarmacy.com/store/details.php?prodId=177&amp;category=" target="_blank">MSM</a> has the ability to relieve pain associated with:</p>
<ol>
<li>Degenerative arthritis</li>
<li>Chronic back pain</li>
<li>Chronic headache</li>
<li>Muscle pain</li>
<li>Fibromyalgia</li>
<li>Tendinitis and Bursitis</li>
<li>Post - traumatic pain and inflammation</li>
<li>Allergies</li>
</ol>
<p>There is much hype about the use of <a href="http://www.naturesfarmacy.com/store/details.php?prodId=177&amp;category=" target="_blank">MSM</a> as a cure all unfortunately there is little or no research to prove its efficacy. At Nature’s Farmacy, we do find anecdotal evidence that it helps in some cases of arthritis and therefore carry the product. Our <a href="http://www.naturesfarmacy.com/store/details.php?prodId=177&amp;category=" target="_blank">MSM</a> is 99% pure and of Human Grade.</p>
<p><span>MSM can be purchased </span><span><a href="http://www.naturesfarmacy.com/store/details.php?prodId=177&amp;category=" target="_blank">here</a>.

<p style="text-align: justify; ">Studies suggest that feeding your dog a diet low in phosphorus may help slow the progression of kidney failure by reducing mineral deposits in the kidneys. And while there&#8217;s no conclusive proof that low-protein diets slow CRF in dogs, your pet may feel better on such a diet. Low-protein diets generate fewer nitrogenous wastes - high levels of which can cause nausea and vomiting in dogs with kidney disease. A cautionary note: low-protein diets, if not carefully managed, can lead to malnutrition. So be sure to consult your veterinarian/nutritionist before making any such dietary changes. </p>
</div>
<div>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">Above all, keep a watchful eye. Report any changes in your dog&#8217;s eating, drinking, and elimination habits to your veterinarian/nutritionist. Such changes may alert your veterinarian/nutritionist to the possibility of kidney disease - or help your veterinary practitioner adjust treatment if therapy has already begun. </p>
</div>
<div>
<p style="text-align: justify; ">With kidney disease, your dog becomes less alert, loses its appetite, and may vomit. Take your dog to your veterinarian if it shows any of the following signs that sometimes (but not always) point to kidney disease: </p>

<div><strong>Acute Failure </strong></div>

<ol>
<li>Dehydration (To test for this, gently pull the skin away from your dog&#8217;s middle. If the skin does not immediately spring back, the dog may be dehydrated.) </li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our colostrum comes from New Zealand. It is collected from only pasture fed cows that are pesticide, antibiotic, and hormone free. This product is pasteurized to maximize biosecurity. Colostrum has been used as a medical treatment for over 6000 years.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.naturesfarmacy.com/store/details.php?prodId=191&amp;category=" target="_blank">N-Z Colostrum</a> is unique source of immunoglobulins. The immunoglobulins in <a href="http://www.naturesfarmacy.com/store/details.php?prodId=191&amp;category=" target="_blank">N-Z Colostrum</a> are specialized bioactive proteins or molecules found in serum and other tissue fluids, including the first milk of mammals (colostrum). There are five classes of immunoglobulins that are recognized in mammals Immunoglobulins G (IgG), Immunoglobulins A (IgA), Immunoglobulins M (IgM), Immunoglobulins E (IgE), and Immunoglobulins D (IgD).</p>
<p>The function of these molecules is to bind to invading organisms and to activate specific actions that help to prevent infection and to rid the body of disease causing pathogens. They function in cell killing, inflammation and prevention of bacterial and viral attachment. The most prevalent class of Immunoglobulins in all species is IgG. Immunoglobulins have an integral role in the immune defense system in that they form antibodies.</p>
<p>Many anecdotal reports on colostrum show it can used be treat allergies, cancer, ulcerative colitis, diarrhea, poor wound healing, hepatitis C, bacterial and viral infections, multiple sclerosis, lactose intolerance, obesity, and peptic ulcers.</p>
<p>Dosage 1/4 teaspoon per 20 lbs. of body weight</p>
<p>Guaranteed Analysis</p>
<ul>
<li>Protein, min:  70%</li>
<li>Fat, min:  5%</li>
<li>Lactose, max:  16%</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.naturesfarmacy.com/store/details.php?prodId=98&amp;category=" target="_blank">Neem oil</a> is a broad-spectrum botanical insecticide from the seeds of the neem tree (Azadirachta indica).  Amazingly, the neem tree produces a compound called azadirachtin, which protects it from damaging insects. Seeds of the neem tree contain the highest concentration of azadirachtin.  </p>
<p>Neem seed oil (NSO) is composed of a complex mixture of biologically active compounds. Nature’s Farmacy <a href="http://www.naturesfarmacy.com/store/details.php?prodId=98&amp;category=" target="_blank">Neem oil</a> is removed from the seeds because only pure neem oil has this insecticide capability.  Neem oil has been used for hundreds of years in controlling plant pests and diseases. Many researchers have shown that the spray solution of neem oil helps to control common pests like ticks, fleas, and flies.  </p>
<p>For pets, <a href="http://www.naturesfarmacy.com/store/details.php?prodId=98&amp;category=" target="_blank">neem oil</a> can be added to pet shampoo to kill ticks and fleas or the area where the pets usually use can be treated with <a href="http://www.naturesfarmacy.com/store/details.php?prodId=98&amp;category=" target="_blank">neem oil</a> spray.  Recommended ratio for making spray solution: mix 1 teaspoon pure Nature’s Farmacy <a href="http://www.naturesfarmacy.com/store/details.php?prodId=98&amp;category=" target="_blank">Neem oil</a> in a quart of warm water and 1/4 tsp. pet shampoo or dish liquid (As a surfactant). Shake it well to mix properly. Quantity of <a href="http://www.naturesfarmacy.com/store/details.php?prodId=98&amp;category=" target="_blank">neem oil</a> can be increased proportionately for making spray in larger quantities.  A light mist is all that required to treat your animal.</p>
<p>Neem oil can be purchased <a href="http://www.naturesfarmacy.com/store/details.php?prodId=98&amp;category=" target="_blank">here</a></p>
