Yep! You have been correct on this..The directions for the ZP Gold Matrix in the newsletter today do say to drop directly in your mouth or add to a liquid drink. Walp, I will have to adjust my methods. I pride myself on skills with all manner of animal care, and I’m just wrapping up a stint as a vet assistant in a (conventional) small… Read more

I’m really glad you mentioned the possible reduction in efficacy if liposomal liquids are added to food. That’s how I’m giving the Pet Essentials products to my cats, also. So with human consumption, is the recommendation to place it on the tissues in our mouths and allow the skin to absorb it? (Transmucosal?) If so, that will be quite a… Read more

Wonderful to know… I’ll start tonight… Gotta figure out how best to administer it. They love wet cat food so a tablespoon of cat food might be the best vehicle to get the right dose inside reliably. Biochar is on my radar but I haven’t even dipped a toe there yet. I’ll tuck that into a pocket for the future. My favorite little hen is also… Read more

Thank you!!! I will add these to the girls’ goodies. I think I already see visible improvement in my cats after less than a week, too. When I drop the potions out onto their food, I swear I can hear Barre’s voice! 🤗

Ann-Marie Shapiro started the discussion Pet Essentials for chicken? in the forum Ask Dr. Barre a year ago
I recently received both Pet Essential products and I’m thrilled and optimistic about the support they offer my elder-cats. I have a hen who isn’t feeling well this evening, up in the coop early with vent gleet and obviously uncomfortable. She was slow to appear yesterday evening but was running around this morning, hoarding her chunks of… Read more

@leslie and Divya
Alcohol and metformin can both cause b vitamin deficiencies, particularly, but not limited to, thiamine. Thiamine deficiency can cause such issues in the feet. Both alcohol and metformin can also affect magnesium levels, and most Americans are low in magnesium to start with. Low magnesium can cause muscle cramps, insomnia…

Hi Divya,
I see that no one replied to your concern about burning/tingling sensation in feet. My boyfriend has similar issues with his feet. He says it feels like he is walking on glass. He’s 65 and recently lost a lot of weight when he stopped drinking alcohol. These symptoms started shortly afterwards. If anyone has any suggestions it would…
