In this section, you will find all of our articles on healing our companion animals that make our lives brighter every day. Below you will find healing stories from each of Lauren’s rescue dogs as well as friends and clients whose animals have healed from a wide range of health conditions. We will also be adding articles about how to transition back to the natural diet, and why returning your pet to their natural diet will allow their self-healing, self-cleaning bodies to work as they are designed to return your companion back to the vibrant state of health that is their birthright. You will also find articles on what to expect as the body is healing, the difference between healing symptoms and suppressing symptoms, and much more. Check back regularly as we are adding more articles as fast as we can write them!
