HI Dr. Dym,  

Wow.  Thank you so much for all of the support.  Betty's message and your response to her make so much sense to me!!!  What Betty says about the presence of the practitioner tainting the process -- that's what it feels like.  And when you talk about how one negative energy field can enter into another energy field -- especially one that is temporarily weakened by struggle --- that's also what it feels like.  I think my rational mind has been telling me to stay with Nikki because she is so well regarded, so great at what she does, but my energy/ intuition has been telling me that "something is not right here."  I shouldn't feel worse after hanging up the phone, especially not on a regular basis.  

 I have said this to you before, but one of the things I am so grateful to you for is the way you bring such positive, curing energy into your work with me and my animals.  Even in the most serious medical crises, you have always had a way of helping me remained calm and positive.  Since homeopathy is energy medicine, of course my energy as Guardian and your energy as Doctor will affect my animals as I give them your prescribed treatment.  You have given us the gift of your light, healing energy and have taught me to bring the same to my animals in working to heal them.  I will never forget when the conventional vet told me Mango had lymphoma and I felt so devastated.  You told me that Mango did not know he had been labeled as having lymphoma, and that I should try and forget it too.  I realized that the worst thing I could do would be to start seeing Mango through the veil of a diagnosis.  What a betrayal that would have been.  Your advice to forget the label and just keep relating to him as an individual was a great gift to us both, and one of the many, many instances in which you have shown me the true meaning of holistic healing.  

You have also been a great teacher to me, because working with you necessitates my actively paying attention to my animals.  You have also taught me to recognize and work more skillfully with fear as it arises in connection with their illnesses, to resist the urge to label and reduce, and to recognize the role my own mindset has on my animals' wellbeing. 

Furthermore, your teachings on physical suppression have shown me that it is not just our physical symptoms conventional medicine and our culture as a whole tries to suppress, it is discomfort on any level.  We live in a culture that encourages suppression of our beings physically, emotionally, and spiritually.  It is a radical act to begin turning away from all the quick fixes toward genuine healing.

 So as the animals and I continue our work with you, I find that I am healing along with them... 

 Anyway, I just wanted to share those thoughts with you.  

Thank you again,

Abra

Dear Dr. Dym,

 My name is Lora Korman (maiden name: Wakefield).  I brought my White Shepherd-Lab mix, Calvin to you in 1998 after he was diagnosed with a mass cell tumor on his rear lower leg.  You treated him for several months and encouraged the raw diet that I had put him on.  In 1999 I moved to north Jersey and had to change Veterinarians, but never found anyone that compared to you.

 I had to write (with tears streaming down my face) to thank you for helping my dearest friend and loyal companion 10 years ago.  I have always believed that your treatments and knowledge saved Calvin.  This past Friday, I had to put dear Calvin to sleep at the age of 14. 

 I will always be grateful to you.

 May God Bless You,

Lora S. Korman

 

Dear Dr. Dym,

I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for responding to me when I was in so much need of consolation and advice on my sick little dog. With much trepidation and serious concern in making the right decision, I ended up taking her to a holistic vet out here recommended by Jean Dodd. I decided I would feel more comfortable taking her in to someone that could actually examine her and work directly with us. I was so torn in making that decision, especially after having reviewed some of the info you sent me and knowing that you have helped so many. Judy Schor who has been an unbelievable source of comfort to me, spoke so highly of you and your work. Thanks so much for referring me to her, she is a beautiful human being.

Kaiya is still with us and despite her extreme weight loss and inability to walk, she is eating like a horse and has a will of iron. Every time I think I have the courage to say good bye to her she decides she's not quite ready to go. Most of the tests she has had, have  come up negative and so auto- immune is still the strong factor regarding her condition. The only other thing I'm afraid she could be sick from is the Rimadyl she was given early on a few weeks ago when she had a minor, occasional limp. I've read it can effect the liver and cause muscular degeneration, (which I know is rare, but until she went on that medicine, against my better judgment, she displayed no real signs of sickness) Her liver is severely compromised and her muscles are atrophying. It is so disconcerting to think that she might be one of a million that this could happen to.

So, I'm holding on, losing weight myself and very tired from being a round the clock nurse. It is all worth it, of course. I only have a glimpse of what it must be like for others with a chronically or critically ill family member. It makes me grateful and appreciative, of how lucky I've been.

I will always remember your kindness and the time you took to help us. I can't thank you enough. I hope I can give you good news the next time I write.
My best to you and yours,
Alex Wood
 

Hello Dr. Dym, 

I met with you last June at Natur-Tyme health food store in Syracuse, NY. I have a wire-haired fox terrier who had a variety of illnesses - gi problems: colitis, uti, and skin problems. Your advice was to change her food (we use Pet Guard) and add pro-biotics and digestive enzymes to her diet. The results have been excellent! Coconut has been very healthy since implementing your suggestions. 

I also went back to my Pitcairn book and have switched her flea control to brewer's yeast and eucalyptus oil. My younger son has autism, and is recovering since we addressed his gut issues and took steps to detox him, so it made sense to boost Coconut's immune system and limit her exposure to toxins, as well. 

I just wanted to thank you for your time and great advice!

Gracie is at least 90% recovered. Still has some moments of inverted U posture but not much and not as pronounced. Licks her genital area but not as much-no sign of discharge. Hardly any gulping anymore though licks her lips very occasionally.

Most important, in terms of a change, is the return of her energy. When we come home, instead of finding her asleep she is up and wants to play. The other night she played on and off for over two hours. Chasing her sister around, running up the cat tree etc. Eating very well, no vomiting. Still haven’t seen a bowel movement in a few days.

All in all, she is so very much better. Almost hard to believe because she was so ill but, as I said, you’re the man, Dr.. Dym. I suspect you’ve given up a lot in earning potential to do what you do. All the big bucks that come from endless procedures, tests, and medications is something you have walked away from.

But what you are is a real healer.

Thanks so much.

Jane

 

Thanks, Dr Dym, for the lovely e-mail.  I truly appreciate all your help with all my cats over all these years.  It has been such a learning experience for me to understand the homeopathic approach to healing.  At times, it can be trying since there is so much pressure from the vets, even the “so-called holistic ones”.  But I have seen such dramatic results in my cats, and am happy that they do not have to endure the awful side effects from drugs. It is amazing that if you allow the remedies time to heal the body, you can see how the body heals itself. You have been enlightening and motivating, and I couldn’t find a more honest and caring vet that I trust with my cats’ health, and I have met so many!!  Thanks for all your time and patience, especially with all my questions.
