"Breeders,
myself included, are always looking for ways to better the health and
soundness of the dogs we breed. The quest to improve hip and elbow
formation started for me in 2003. Although the studies I have
undertaken are not endorsed by the majority of vets, they are, on the other
hand nothing new except for the specific type of diet I have developed for
my puppies and dogs. Veterinarians like Dr Billinghurst in Australia,
Dr Belfield in California, and Dr Kruger in Washington, developed theories
and started proving their theories through their work as far back as 1961.
Sylvia Hammarstrom in California, breeder of over 1,000 Champion Giant breed
dogs, set me on my present day course using GNLD molecularly natural Vitamin
C. I'm indebted to these pioneers
for their work in the field of Orthomolecular Medicine.
Recently I
wrote up my findings from a mini study conducted from September 2007
to October 2008. These two articles look at reducing
the risk of hip & elbow dysplasia in large breed dogs and how diets work in
conjunction with developing bones and tissue in the dog. Also included in part 2
is the different types of synthetic vitamin C versus an all natural vitamin
C formula. I added this to the article, because the majority of
questions I get are people trying to find a different type of vitamin C than
the one I used. Please understand that I have only used and tested
this molecularly natural type of vitamin C. I am not a fan of giving
dogs synthetic vitamin C or Ester-C made with chemicals and added calcium.
They also do not contain all the
elements of whole oranges and require mega-doses to be effective. I needed 50% to 85%
LESS Vitamin C
using the GNLD product than the
recommended dosage of normal synthetic Vitamin C." Sy Guth
