Dear Fellow Dog Allergy Sufferers,
I have discovered that dogs do not have food allergies. It's all about not having Molybdenum in the dog foods. Molybdenum needs to be present in equal proportion to the amount of:
1. sulfur amino acids, (methionine and cysteine found in all proteins and grains), and
2. the amount of sulfur compounds found in glucosamine/condroitin, MSM, Alpha-lipoic Acid, Choline, Insitol, Betaine, Thiamine B1, Biotin, & Taurine, and
3. the amount of sulfites found in all dog products such as gums (carragean, guar, etc.), starches (corn, potato, etc.), potato products, dehydrated products, dried fruits and dried vegetables, spices, herbs, soy proteins, citric acid, natural flavor, extracts, every pill medication made, every vitamin mix, vaccinations, anesthetics, flea preparations and shampoos.
To metabolize sulfur compounds and sulfite compounds you need the sulfite oxidase enzyme which requires Molybdenum. Without any of this enzyme, a dog will die in one week. Dogs get small amounts of molybdenum from whole grains, a few other sources and they try instinctively to obtain it from eating grass, rabbit feces which contain molybdenum from what rabbits eat and even dirt. However, since their diets and medications, etc. are excessively high in the sulfur/sulfite compounds, they need much more molybdenum than just the trace that was recommended in the past. Minimal molybdenum produces minimal sulfite oxidase enzyme which causes the body to malfunction and manifest "allergy symptoms".
Molybdenum is also necessary to keep copper levels in balance. Just like sodium and potassium need to be kept in balance.
I have proved it in 4 dogs already. I purchased a liquid molybdenum supplement, which only has reverse osmosis water and 50 mcg Mo/tsp. I comes from Water Oz in Idaho. No added anything.
I then looked for a protein source that had the lowest total methionine and cysteine and that was lamb or venison as compared to pork or turkey which would be very high. Then I chose rice because it's total is also low compared to say corn or oats. I put the dogs on home cooked basmati brown rice, (not white rice because it has startch on it to add back the vitamins and contains sulfites), and use Evanger's 100% venison canned meat (they do not add sulfites to their cans). I feed the dogs 3 to four times a day, small amounts are important for 3 months. It usually takes 25 mcg. (1/2 tsp.) to 50 mcg. (1 tsp.) Molybdenum per each 6 oz. can of venison with 2 to 2 1/2 cups rice made with a dash of Morton's pickling and canning salt (again no sulfites in it, unlike iodized salt which contains sulfites). This works perfectly.
You will see relief from symptoms within 15 minutes. This was confirmed by a national molybdenum researcher, Dr. Nancy Amy at Berkley, who told me the sulfite oxidase enzyme only takes 15 minutes to return to normal functioning after they had stoped it in mice. I keep this diet up for two weeks, gradually increaseing the Molybdenum if needed to arrest symptoms. No vitamin supplements because I want to keep all sulfur/sulfite as low as possible to minimize the livers work load .
It's important to gradually increase the Mo. because I believe your dog has too much copper in his liver at this point and when Molybdenum enters his system, it pulls it from the liver into the bloodstream before metabolizing it and removing it from the body. During the period that excess copper is in the bloodstream, the dog will experience a "copper rush". This causes hyper symptoms and diarrhea. So start with a low Molybdenum dose and increase slowly. The amount of copper released is in direct proportion to the amount of Mo. given and the amount of sulfur/sulfites present. There are no know toxicities of Molybdenum unless you reach 24 milligrams/kg of a dogs body weight/day and this dose would kill him (1 milligrams = 1,000 mcg.). Thus an 80 pound dog would need 8 million, 727 thousand micrograms/day to kill him.
After the two weeks, I chose canned food, one without liver, (which is high in copper: lamb liver being the highest in copper of all animal livers), because dry foods always contains more sulfites than canned. However, the one that was working the best is being discontinued - NEURA meats 95% lamb and brown rice. I've implored Wellness to keep making it, however, I'm not certain they believe me. It takes 150 to 200 mcg. molybdenum per 13 oz. can to counter the sulfites in the 2 gums, the vitamins as well as the sulfur amino acids in the rice and lamb.
I've also tried Evanger's original label, not gold label, chicken and rice dinner for dogs. It seems to take 200 to 300 mcg. Mo/13.2 oz can to counter the sulfites in the vitamins as well as the increased amount of sulfur amino acids in chicken vs. lamb. I tested the California Natural but still couldn't get one dog to stop itching even after 400 mcg/can. My guess is the total ppm sulfites in "natural flavor" is extreemly high and I didn't want to try more Molybdenum. So the point I'm trying to make is the total number of sulfur compounds and sulfites in a dog food has to be balanced with (X) amount of Molybdenum for your dog to metabolize them. You will just have to experiment with the amount of Molybdenum that you need to keep your dogs "allergy symptoms" at bay.
Copper toxicity can cause irreversible damage to the liver. At this point the liver starts to shrink, and then the stomach tips caudally (toward the tail). In deep chested dogs, since the stomach can not tilt this way, it goes sideways, twists and causes torsion or bloat. I believe if your dog has progressed to bloating, then the liver is toxic. You can have a blood test run at CA Davis for about $125 to test for copper toxicity, even though your vet will tell you that only West Highland White Terriers have this problem. If you want to know for sure, test.
I am not certain if all dogs livers are not slightly damaged once they manifest "allergy symptoms". I think it is possible, since the dogs I've helped seem to need the Molybdenum at each feeding, vaccination or medication time. The researchers said that you could build up a store of the sulfite oxidase enzyme in your liver and not need a constant supply of Molybdenum. I believe if your liver were healthy, that would be true, but not if some damage has occured. Since I'm not certain on this, I could be wrong. I only know you need to give the Molybdenum in small quantites throughout the day. It is metabolized from the body within 3 to 5 hours via urine.
I do know from my experiences and research that undigested sulfur compounds and/or sulfites leads to any one or a combination of the following: hyperactivity, agressiveness, upset digestive tract, itching, dandruff, ear infections, asthma, impaired vision and bloat.
You can test your dog and you'll see what I've written is true. After the two weeks, boil your dog an organic piece of beef or chicken, put a small amount in a boul with 25 to 50 mcg. molybdenum and your dog will not be allergic to it. You can test any organic protein, just only give a small quantity until you know the amount of Molybdenum needed per type and amount of protein. If your dog starts to itch after the protein test, give an additional 25 mcg. of Mo. and wait 15 minutes. All symptoms should subside. (If you're certain I'm wrong and you want to use a Benadryl, make sure to use the dye-free liqui-gels, but DO NOT use the gelatin capsule as it contains sulfites. Poke a hole in it and squeeze onto some food.)
Total sulfur amino acid content of proteins from highest to lowest is: Bisson, beef, pork, turkey, chicken, rabbit, venison, wild alaskan salmon, lamb.
Total sulfur amino acid content from highest to lowest of grains is: oats, corn, amaranth, quinoa, wild rice, bulgar, brown rice, potatoes.
I wish everyone as much happiness has I've found with my two dogs as well as other peoples dogs that even vets had given up on! I have pictures to prove it. A yellow lab with extreem redness and no fur left on his front legs or underside, head swollen and raw, severe ear infections, hyper pigmentation and tumors. He had to wear an elizabethian collar at all times. He could not rest, only itch, no matter how much cortisone, special shampoos or veterinary diets. His first dose of 25 mcg. molybdenum, he stopped itching and relaxed . . . Please test this.
Thank you and know that this knowledge is a gift from God. He loves our pets, he created them.
