Talon Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 :cool: Hi everyone. I took my 3 birds in for JUST a nail-clipping this week. :confused: (I lost my job a month ago, so no money for check-ups.) But while I was there, I thought.....hmmm. they haven't been in for a year, so I minds well just do it!! They were all very good! The vet said they were all very "robust" birds!! :rolleyes: He did his usual "Gram Stain test with each of them. Talon has always had bacteria and yeast problems. Her tests are always positive for bacteria. I put all my animals, birds, horses, cat, dog, and family members on high alkaline water 4 months ago. Wel,l as I suspected, due to the water ....all 3 tests were negative!! I am very happy, I hate the course of treatment that they have to go thru for the positive results! Very happy news for me!! :cool:
Barbara2 Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Congratulations! I'm glad the news was all good.
Luvparrots Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Super news that everyone is fine Penny. Hooray!!!! You and yours are in my thoughts and I pray good thoughts for you all.
judygram Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 That is interesting Penny and I hadn't heard about "alkaline water" being better for them or us but the proof is in the tests I guess. Sorry to hear you lost your job but if it is the one I think it is no great loss but hope you find something soon.
Azzie Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 How do you make or get alkaline water? About the only thing I can think of is to add sodium bicarbonate, but that would taste foul and might mess up a bird's internal acid base balance.
kittykittykitty Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Congratulations on the good news! Is the alkaline water at health food stores or do you make your own? I read about it some time ago but have forgotten. Hope you find a good job very soon. Howardine
danmcq Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Glad all the birdies came through with flying colors. I hope you find employment soon!
Talon Posted October 22, 2010 Author Posted October 22, 2010 Thanks everyone! Judy, Alkaline water is the ONLY water ANYONE (pets included) should be drinking. Most foods and all drinks, including bottled/tap/well water is acidic to us and all pets. It is well known by the medical community that ALL disease and cancer cells live in acidic conditions. If our bodies are flushed with alkaline water, this will reverse our chances of that happening. I have a machine on my counter top that produces alkaline water right from my faucet. It is all we drink, cook with and clean with. If anyone wants more info, pm me and I will be happy to send you info. I have been massively researching this topic for over 6 months. My machine also produces acid water which is used in hospitals and hotels for sterilizing and killing all bacteria. I use this on all my birds cages, tree stands and toys, plus cleaning my bathrooms and house. I haven't purchased any cleaning products for the past 5 months!
judygram Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Thanks Penny for explaining that, I will check it out further on the net.
