Re: Frustrated--seasonal allergies and treatment

btw, urine is a by-product of the blood and is sterile when collected properly. Think urine sample at dr. office. It has too much of what our body needs within it. His body is producing oddles of anti-histimines and therefore, the shots work.

Re: Frustrated--seasonal allergies and treatment

Collect his urine and, depending on how much he weighs, give approx. 20cc in fat tissue once a week. He will experience relief within a day or two of the first set of shots. I give 10cc on each side of the neck.

Of course, had to get a diuretic from a vet to collect the urine.
