		<description><![CDATA[Hi, Hillary. 

My cats have been on a raw food diet for a few years now so I know it&#039;s not the raw food that made the change. True, I went to 100% raw recently, but I can&#039;t imagine that has had an impact on this particular issue except to keep their immune systems in balance without adding synthetic supplements. 


Most people experience benefits of raw food diets by simply adding a chunk of raw food every day. That&#039;s only about $1/day if you buy what I consider to be the absolute best organic, commercial raw food on the market: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.rawadvantage.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Raw Advantage&lt;/a&gt;.

I, personally, would never make my own raw food because making high-quality, safe raw food at home is extremely expensive. For example, raw meat in grocery stores meant for human consumption is allowed to have WAY MORE dangerous bacteria because it&#039;s intended to be cooked. In order to buy sushi-grade raw meat, or to buy from local farmers in order to butcher the animals myself, is simply not practical for me.

For $35/month it&#039;s hard to beat Raw Advange&#039;s 100% organic, high-quality, local ingredients. (With meat from cage-free, sustainable farms that the founder of Raw Advantage personally inspects! If a farm won&#039;t let her drop in to inspect and make sure they&#039;re up to her standards, she won&#039;t do business with them. Pretty cool.)

I&#039;ll write more about raw food diets in a later article. I&#039;ve seen amazing things happen with animals eating raw food diets and I&#039;m a huge proponent.

		<description><![CDATA[It might be the silver, but I&#039;ve known other people who&#039;ve switched to raw and experienced positive changes like that in the first 24 hours!

		<description><![CDATA[Contact Lin &amp; see what she says. I&#039;m sure she&#039;ll tell you if colloidal silver is the way to go with Romeo, or if there&#039;s a better remedy.

Her prices are *very* reasonable. (Much more economical than buying from other sources I peeked into.)

Quality varies quite a bit among sources of colloidal silver. Before I gave the cats any of her products, I did some research &amp; learned that there are huge differences in product quality. Because of that I&#039;d only buy from Lin or the Oly Food Coop (cuz they&#039;re picky about product sources).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Really glad to hear that there&#039;s some improvement Kari. Maybe I should try some of the silver stuff on Romeo. After his surgery in November, his hair has taken a very long time to grow back in some of the area, and it&#039;s still very thin. When we went to the vet for yearly checks recently, she had no idea. Hmmm.........]]></description>
