Behavior
Symptoms
Timid, aggressive, noisy, difficult to train/control, hyperactive, laziness - the list here is endless
Traditional Chinese Medicine takes the view that behaviour is directly related to the health of specific organs in the body. Felix Mann in his book "Acupuncture - Cure of Many Diseases" illustrates it quite simply.
Another simple yet profound example seen in all walks of life is the behaviour of the alcoholic - they often show aggression when drunk and yet are severely depressed when in need of more alcohol. Cirossis of the liver is common in alcoholics.
An all encompassing approach to behaviour problems in our pets is beyond the scope of this page because individual variations are too great. My approach here is to give some insight that internal organs and their health has a direct bearing on metal state and thus behaviour. Thus, what is sometimes interpretated as a behaviour problem, may in fact be the result of a deeper physical problem. Inappropriate urination in cats, for example, may be from cystitis and inflamation. It is important to remember that where a specific organ may be affecting behaviour, conventional scietific tests are unlikely to show any problem. Diagnosis by a qualified practitioner in Traditional Chinese Medicine may be required.
A few years ago I spoke with a dog groomer in Newcastle , England, who had to deal with a very aggressive West Highland terrier. She had great difficulty grooming this dog and had to resort to all sorts of constraints including muzzles. I suggested at the time that this could be a problem with the liver and that she should recommend to the owner to feed home cooked food consisting of Brown Rice, White Meat or Fish and Vegetables. It was also important that the dog be denied any other food in the meantime and underfeeding initially would be beneficial. About 6 weeks later I spoke to the groomer again who told me that the dogs behavior was almost unrecognizable and that she no longer required any constraints when grooming the dog.
Burns Brown Rice and Chicken and Brown Rice & Ocean Fish contains a range of quality carbohydrates, vegetables, proteins, fats and seaweed which all contribute to promote health and vitality and at the same time allows the internal organs to function in a more efficient manner. This allows for metabolic balance where every organ in the body functions at an optimum level for the benefit of each other and ultimately the whole body including behavior.
