In 1998, Dr Gaylon TeSlaa (DVM) was challenged by several of his canine and feline pet owners about concerns over the conventional “gold standard” treatment for IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease). They wanted “alternative” and “natural” solutions to at least complement the harsh “Western” immunosuppressive approaches, but/and Dr TeSlaa believed they were “crazy” and completely unrealistic…according
to everything he’d ever been taught. One day he came across a supplement company offering organic whole-food nutrient ingredients for intestinal disorders – he was thrilled to be able to recommend the “Enteric Support” product to these clients so that they would “leave him alone” and “quit asking such ridiculous questions”. ALL of these pet owners diligently acquired the product and began using it according to the plan (instructions). The part that did NOT go according to “plan” was that eventually ALL of these happy pet owners stopped requesting refills of the medications because the previously chronic recurrent intractable signs of vomiting and/or diarrhea NEVER CAME BACK as long as they maintained these patients on their newly discovered pharmaceutical grade supplements. THIS was the “wake-up call” Dr TeSlaa was astonished to have received – he fully did NOT expect dietary supplementation to “work” for ANY health condition, and that was the beginning of his transition into natural, integrative, alternative, and functional “medicine”. NOW, Dr. T's "gold standard" is BETTER MEDICINE...NATURALLY!
