Clinical Study

The results of this clinical study suggest that 74.7% of common diseases in dogs and 63% of common diseases in cats can be eliminated without medical intervention over a period of one year with proper diet modifications.

Five hundred and five dogs and 83 cats, all with a history of assorted chronic skin diseases averaging 33 months, were treated by diet alone for their symptoms by the Pet Health and Nutrition Center in Corning, N.Y. (Ninety-six percent of these animals had been given veterinary care before the study.) Only animals free of medication were included. All remained in home situations without matching control groups.

The diet was natural raw and cooked whole foods and PHD pet food. Feeding protocols varied depending on the animal's initial response to the diet. Transient digestive disturbances (healing episodes; see Conclusions) were developed by 28% of dogs and 22% of cats, which were treated by diet and fasting. Reported results were based on client testimonials.
