Basic-H: Addressing Possible Chronic Inflammation in Dogs and Cats

Basic-H: Addressing Possible Chronic Inflammation in Dogs and Cats

Why Are So Many Dogs (and Cats) Having Health Problems?

A Hidden Cause Behind the Growing Health Crisis

In recent years, more and more dogs (and cats) have been getting sick. There has been a big rise in problems like allergies, ear infections, seizures, tumors, and even serious illnesses. Some of these conditions can be traced to poor diet and lack of exercise, but there’s another major cause many people don’t realize: spaying and neutering.

Obviously, it is essential that domestic animals be spayed or neutered to control pet populations, but this creates a concern that must be managed for the remainder of the animal's life. When dogs are spayed (removal of ovaries and uterus) or neutered (removal of testicles), they lose their main sources of important hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. These hormones aren’t just for reproduction — they help regulate many critical body systems, especially while a dog is still growing.

Without these hormones, the body is forced to compensate. The brain (through the hypothalamus gland) tells other glands, like the liver and adrenal glands, to make ‘substitute’ hormones. This is a good backup plan, but:

  • The glands that make them are not programmed to maintain substitute hormones.
  • It is difficult to meet the nutrient demands of organs producing these hormones.
  • The forced production of substitute hormones stresses the organs involved.
  • The stress on these organs decreases the quality of the substitute hormones.

Over time, the ‘substitute’ hormones cause chronic inflammation — slow-burning irritation that damages the body and leads to many long-term health problems.

How Hormone Imbalance Leads to Chronic Inflammation

The Chain Reaction of Health Problems

Inflammation from poor quality hormones and the imbalance they create can show up in many ways:

  • Persistent allergies (internal and environmental)
  • Recurring ear infections
  • Itchy, inflamed skin
  • Joint pain and stiffness
  • Bladder issues and incontinence
  • Weakened immune response
  • Seizures and neurological issues
  • Growth of tumors

All of these problems make life harder for pets and can be emotionally and financially draining for owners.

Can the Body Heal Naturally?

There’s Good News: Supporting the endocrine system with the right nutrients can help! 

Supplying natural hormone precursors (building blocks) allows the overworked organs to create healthier substitute hormones without being stressed. Better-quality hormones in turn reduce the stress on the animal's body.

When the body is able to comfortably make better-quality hormones:

  • Inflammation decreases
  • Healing occurs
  • Dogs (and cats) regain their energy, comfort, and health

This was the idea behind the development of a special supplement called Basic-H. 

Basic-H supplies the ‘essential nutrients’ in the ‘proper ratios’ that the back-up systems require to make substitute hormones.

The Study: Can Natural Support Turn Health Around?

Real Cases, Real Results

The study tested Basic-H on several sick animals.

Here’s who was involved:

  • Lucy (2-year-old lab mix): Extremely nervous and sensitive, lost bladder control when excited.
  • Stella (1-year-old sheepdog): Became aggressive after early spaying, biting a child.
  • Olive (4-year-old golden retriever): Developed tumors and was diagnosed with cancer.
  • Adi (2-year-old lab mix): Suffered from frequent seizures.
  • Kodi (8-year-old Australian shepherd): Lethargic, low appetite, unusual for his age.
  • Louie (8-year-old terrier mix): Severe allergies and chronic gum infections.
  • Sam and Bella (2-year-old cats): Diagnosed with a fatal viral disease.

Each animal received ½ to 1 teaspoon of Basic-H daily, sprinkled over their food.

The Results: Rapid Improvements Across the Board

What Happened After Basic-H Was Introduced?

Incredibly, within one week:

  • Stella, Adi, and Kodi fully recovered and needed no further treatment.
  • Lucy improved but needed extra support for her sensitive nervous system.
  • Olive's energy bounced back, though her tumors needed additional care.
  • Louie showed major improvements but needed ongoing immune support.
  • Bella recovered quickly; Sam needed more help but improved over time.

After three months, all the animals except Louie were only on Basic-H with full remission of their inflammation-based conditions!

What This Study Teaches Us

Natural Hormone Support May Be the Missing Link

This study shows that many health problems in spayed and neutered pets come from hormone disruption and the chronic inflammation it causes. 

By giving their bodies the nutrients they need to create better hormones, pets can heal naturally — often without heavy medications, surgeries, or expensive treatments.
