Testimonials: Kathryn Spicer and Flynn

Flynn was a Border Collie, aged 8 his first visit was on 1st April, 1999. His vet had diagnosed arthritis. However, after xrays were done in May, 1999 and analysed by an orthopaedic vet, it was found that he had severe Chronic Tendonitis. The specialist advised that this condition was common for working dogs and those that did agility trials. The symptoms were hot lumpy calcium growths on the inside of both rear legs just above the ankles. The result of this condition was that the calcium would integrate into the tendons and weaken them, causing them to snap. If this happened, there would be no surgical remedy. Flynn competed in dog agility as well as obedience competitions. He was retired immediately from the agility.

The homoeopathic treatment involved a constitutional remedy based on personality and all physical problems, plus individual remedies for his chronic tendonitis, which were based on daily doses. I saw Flynn on a monthly basis, changing the treatment as needed. There were improvements in his walking and sitting and overall well-being almost immediately. The heat ceased in the lumps, as well as the curtailment of further growth. Measurements were taken from the 20th October, 1999.

Following are four measurements to show Flynn`s progress:

• 20/10/99 Left 14cm Right 13cm
• 15/12/99 Left 13.8cm Right 12.8cm
• 21/3/00 Left 13.5cm Right 12.5cm
• 2/8/00 Left 13cm Right 12cm

What is quite amazing is that there was no treatment given after June 00 as Flynn was diagnosed with cancer, yet the lumps kept reducing. He died in October 00. This successful treatment did the following: stopped the heat, stopped the growth, and reduced each side by 1 cm over a 10month period.
