How a poor suffering dog was cured by Laura and Synchronicity....

Just wanted to report the following interesting series of Synchronicities that took place over the last few days, involving this forum:

I share a home with my cousin, and her dog had a bad case of moist dermatitis (a.k.a "hot spots"). We tried all the recommended treatments, but nothing helped. Finally I found a special shampoo that fixed him up in no time, with the result that he is now having no problems at all.

Then, the other day I was reading a thread here in which Laura mentioned treating a skin infection with Sulphur mixed with machine oil. This immediately caught my interest, and I wondered whether Sulphur would be a good treatment for hot spots (should my cousin's dog have any problems in the future). I checked the ingredients in the shampoo we had used, and lo and behold, the main ingredient in it was Sulphur. So I did some research on the internet, and discovered that putting Sulphur Powder on hot spots is recommended as a proven remedy.

For some reason, even though my cousin's dog no longer needed it, I felt compelled to get some Sulphur Powder "for future use". While on my way to a nearby town, to run some errands, even though I was running late, I impulsively stopped at our local drug store, to enquire about the Sulphur. I ended up being there for almost half an hour, while the pharmacist decided (1) whether he should sell me some of his precious Sulphur Powder (ordinarily not for sale to the public), and (2) how much he was going to charge me for it. I was annoyed with myself, thinking, geez, I don't even need the stuff right now, why couldn't I leave it for another day? But in the end I walked out of there with a pill bottle full of Sulphur Powder. I hurriedly stuffed it in my pocket and promptly forgot about it.

Later in the day I piled the dogs in the car and headed out for a nearby trail where I usually take them for a run at that time of day. But, impulsively, I decided to drive about 20 minutes out of my way to take them to a different trail I'd heard about, outside of town. While there we met up with a man with a lovely dog named Sandy, and ended up walking with them. While doing so I noticed that the dog had some red and raw spots on her rump, where all the hair had fallen off, and asked him about it. Oh, he said, she's had these hot spots for weeks now, I've tried everything and nothing works, I can't afford to take her to the vet, and I don't know what to do. So I told him about what I'd discovered about Sulphur Powder. He was very interested and wanted to know where he could get it. When I told him what I went through with the pharmacist, he seemed reluctant to go to all the trouble. But then I remembered about the Sulpur Powder in my pocket!

Long story short, I gave him the Powder, and told him how to use it. That was a couple of days ago. This morning, thinking about him and his dog and wondering how they got on, I returned to the trail hoping to run into them. Sure enough, we did, and lo and behold, Sandy was dramatically improved. The sores had completely crusted over, and her owner said she had stopped biting and scratching at them.

Thank you, Laura!
 
While I'm here, I'll also tell you about a strange dream experience. Nothing earth-shattering about it, but it sure was weird.

I dreamed I was leading an team of people into an old Victorian boarding house that had been boarded up for almost a hundred years, and just discovered. We went searching for historical artifacts that may have been left there. I was climbing a steep set of stairs leading to the attic and discovered an out of the way shelf filled with dusty objects. As I brushed them off, I discovered these wooden things carved with men's names, which I figured out were meant to act as "key chains" for each man in the house to keep his room key on. I handed them down to my "assistant", and then behind them found a set of several ceramic "shaving mugs" that also had men's names on them, in Gothic script, which I realized must have been kept in the one "bathroom" in the house, for each man to use for shaving. I can't remember the rest of the dream, but I woke up having a funny feeling about it.

After waking up, I went downstairs where my cousin was watching "Antiques Roadshow" on television. I was in the kitchen making coffee, when my cousin called me into the living room to see something on the program. Imagine my surprise when I saw the presenter displaying a group of antique shaving mugs with men's names on them, identical to the ones in my dream. The only difference was that the presenter said these would have been used in a barbershop, whereas mine were used in a boarding house.

The whole thing rather tickled me....
 
I'm glad that poor dog is no longer suffering!

I have NO idea why you had such a problem getting sulphur. I was always able to pick up a nice big bottle of it in the pharmacy. Back when my kids were little, I would dust it in their shoes as a sort of antiseptic. My son still puts it in his shoes. It will prevent "smelly tennis shoes".

I have also mixed it with vaseline to make a paste for the dog (or the kids!). Here, we go to the hot sulphur spring at Ax-les-thermes to soak our feet - cures whatever ails them!
 
Sulphur is also used in treating powdery mildew, a fungus infection, in vines. This summer the man who grows and sells vegetables told me that adding sulphur to clay soils (alkaline and therefore high in pH level) will balance the pH level of soil. As a teenager I had dandruff and the shampoo to treat it (selsun) had sulphur in it.
 
It certainly seems like a cure-all. I shall always keep some on-hand now.

I don't know why my local pharmacist was so strange about it, he acted like he'd never heard of anyone using it as a home remedy before. I had to tell him that my vet told me to buy it, before he would sell it to me...
 
If there is a farm feed store anywhere in your area, check it out for supplies.
 
you would have probably had the same effect if you gave him 1 granule of tiniest dillution of Sulphur which is in homeopathy major remedy for skin afflictions .
Homeopathic Sulphur should be easy to obtain and it costs very little.

Lets wait and see what will happen in this case , but normaly when you use remedies allopatic way (i.e. overdosing) relapse is inevitable.
Also something to consider is the fact that as long as the process is on the skin that is in a way good (apart from the fact that it is unesthetical and may be annoying or even painfull for the animal) as it is far from vital organs, if you just supress it (which is what allopaty normally does) it will dissapear from the skin but the dissease proces will affect some deeper organs, usually joints are the next to follow the skin. Therefore you need to find constitutional problem or underlying psychological condition and treat it with appropriate remedy, but for this you will need experienced veterinary homeopath.

The problem with homeopathic remedies, as we can figure out from the thread "The Field," is that one cannot rely on them not having been handled by an individual who would completely cancel the potential.
 
yes I hear that argument very often, and it is a valid one
and also the question I had first time I encountered homeopathy was - if all these substances have such strong influence on our bodies, and if we are all the time exposed to minute doses at least of some remedies without are knowledge, how come that they do no affect us in the same way as given remedies?

I am afraid nobody has answers to these questions, yet.
In the meantime I am happy to notice that homeopathy does work and also according to certain rules, so I am happy to use it- same as I am happy to use electricity while I never really understood how it comes about.
