Flynn Fends Off a Cold: One Pup’s Feel-Better Tale

Hi Humans,

I’m Flynn, Joette’s daughter-in-law and son's dog. You may remember me from Joette’s blog post, Flynn and the Not-So-Fun Fireworks.

She asked me to share my recent experience with a cold. Well, my almost having a cold, I should say. My human daddy (Joette’s son) learned so much by growing up with homeopathy that he was able to help me feel better in no time.

And it’s a good thing, too. There were a bunch of squirrels that needed my supervision that day. (Such distracting little creatures, squirrels. I’m not sure why we have them. Do they serve a purpose?)

Anyway, my “dad” likes sleeping in cold air, so the other night he left the windows open. Well, sure enough, it got really cold in our room. I woke up coughing and feeling very lethargic.

Lethargy is not my usual game plan, so “Dad” knew something was up. But it was mainly the coughing that worried him. I couldn’t stop coughing … like, every few minutes. I just didn’t feel good at all.

Without even consulting with Joette,  “Dad” knew what to do. After all, he was raised in a homeopathic household. He didn’t go to the pediatrician for his coughs and colds. Instead, his mother was the healer in his family, and now he and “Mom” are the healers in ours. (I heard Joette brag that Mom’s a fast learner.)

I am one lucky pup, aren’t I?

Homeopathy for pets: ColdCalm®

He gave me this yummy treat called ColdCalm®, a combination remedy created by the highly respected homeopathic pharmacy, Boiron.

After the first dose, wow, I got sleepy. “Dad” said that falling asleep after a homeopathic medicine was a good sign, so I immediately took a little nap.

Guess what? I stopped coughing!

Then, whenever I coughed again — maybe an hour or so later — he gave me another dose of these ColdCalm® tablets.

I normally don’t like the hard pellet remedies, so I make “Mom” and “Dad” force them down my throat. (I have to say, watching their efforts to get me to take them is pretty entertaining for me … even when I don’t feel well.)

But, darn it all, since Boiron makes ColdCalm in those soft, sweet, dissolving tablets, I really can’t resist just eating them up right away. Even though I generally like to make them work for my cooperation, I really do love those tablets and find myself happily eating them. Yum. They are sweet and softer on my old-man teeth.

In total, I think they may have given me about six separate doses before I felt completely better and no longer had a cough. (Although, I have to admit that I did consider coughing one more time, just to get another sweet Boiron treat.)

All in one day, I went from feeling really icky to feeling frisky again. The squirrels didn’t stand a chance! I was right back at my window post, keeping careful watch on their antics. (Do squirrels ever get colds?)

Thanks to my humans and their keen observational skills and fast work with homeopathy, the cold was gone.

I’ve heard that this ColdCalm remedy is also effective for human colds. Maybe you should keep some on hand — just a thought.

Whoops. I’ve got to run. Joette is coming back to her computer, and I don’t think she realized that I learned how to type. (Do you know who taught me? My Uncle Buster! Gosh, we miss him, but I’m hoping to follow in his pawprints.)

See you next time!

Joette here, my friends.

I’ve said this so many times, but it bears repeating. Learning homeopathy can keep you relevant in your children’s, grandchildren’s and even granddog’s lives. By passing your homeopathy knowledge on to them, you further ensure that even their children and grandchildren will enjoy self-reliance in health care matters through Practical Homeopathy®.

We often hear about building generational wealth in the media. But what could be more important than building generational HEALTH?

Imagine … your great-great grandchildren could be born into a world of health autonomy with the same gentle, efficacious, safe homeopathic medicines that have successfully withstood the test of time.

Now, that is generational health.

I was so uplifted and gratified to receive the following text from my youngest son, after he had successfully aborted Flynn’s cold:

“This little guy woke up with a cough this morning and kept coughing. We gave him ColdCalm. He loves eating the sweet tablets, and he immediately stopped coughing.”

You can’t imagine what that meant to me. I have passed down generational health to my three sons, and they are continuing to utilize it in their young families. What more could a mother want?

You, too, can experience this feeling of accomplishment with the added security of knowing your loved ones’ health is well in hand, even when you're not there.

How? Simply pass on the good news of Practical Homeopathy® to your children and grandchildren.

Warmly,

Joette Calabrese, Practical Homeopathy®
