Hi Jackson,
I have  been wanting to give you feedback on the Stress Stopper for my cat,George..

We moved here to SC from NH and George was just terrific on the trip. He was quiet & cozy,and not at all stressed for the 2 days on the road. I followed your instructions, and started applying the stress stopper about a week before our trip. What a difference in George.....after all,we had just moved from a great house where he was free to go in and out as he wished ,to a temporary place where he had to learn to be an indoor cat. And then a huge trip.So he had a lot going on.

I must admit, I was a little hesitant about Stress Stopper working and so was my husband, but much to our delight, it was just what George needed to get him through all of his life's changes. By the way, I applied it for a couple of weeks once we got here to SC and he has adjusted and is one big and contented cat.

Thank you for your advice and for being so nice  on the phone when I was unsure of which product to buy . I would certainly recommend your company and products to any animal lovers who would rather stay away from regular medicine.
 
Thanks again,
Charlotte

I have a Pekingese named Doogie, who is now 14 3/4 years old. He has had "tummy issues" his entire life, and was diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease many years ago. I have tried numerous homeopathics and other natural treatments throughout his lifetime. He sees holistic vets who treat him regularly with acupuncture and chiropractic. Everything combined has given him a very good quality of life.

This past year his abdominal symptoms of gas, bloating and discomfort have increased in frequency, often not responding to previous treatments. On an ultrasound, at the end of May, a large mass was found in his liver. Due to his age, breathing risk for anesthesia, personality and my trust in non-traditional healing, I chose not to proceed with a biopsy, which may lead to chemo or surgery.

In July, I saw "Happy Tummy" in our local pet boutique/bakery, The Hungry Hound. Penny, the owner (and cook for doogie's grain-free, organic food), told me how several of her clients, as well as she, have tried Spirit Essences with positive results. My thought was, why not - it can't hurt him. In less than 2 weeks Doog's gas and bloating were gone. Due to that impressive response, I decided to order additional products that would support him through his liver condition. I added "Healthy Helper" first and then "Graceful Aging". He has had skin issues, increasing now with his liver disease so several weeks later I added "Skin Soother". Doogie gets easily stressed with any changes, vet visits, company, etc, so a few weeks ago I added "Stress Stopper", as needed.

Needless to say, I am very satisfied with Spirit Essences. Not only do I believe that the products are excellent but I have spoken to and E-mailed Jackson and Siena various times and have found them to be true lovers of animals, as well as caring, knowledgeable people. Their hearts are clearly into the business they operate. 

Doogie continues to have issues due to his liver disease and age - however he enjoys life more with the IBD and skin symptoms under control. It has been almost 4 months since the mass was found and although he requires more frequent, intensive care at home with feedings and supplements every 2 - 3 hours during the day, I feel his quality of life is very good considering his health status. He's taken to all the added essences without a problem, as they may be administered various ways, making it easy for me to add them to his already long list of supplements from his vet.

I thank all that have made Spirit Essences for animals possible. I have told many friends and have shared information with the pet loss and illness support group that I facilitate. Doogie thanks you all as well. He is my little "everything" and I appreciate your contribution to his well being.

Sincerely,

About a year ago, I got a Maine Coon kitten named Gaia who quickly became part of our family! Not long after we got her, however, the vet noticed that she had a heart murmur and she was dianosed with a heart valve disorder. Although not life threatening, she had to go to the vet's office for multiple tests and procedures. Soon after that she started to have some immune system issues and ended up with a virus and conjunctivitis. After all the turmoil in her early life, she recovered well and started to thrive. However, psychologically, she was a disaster! She was nervous, skittish, scared of everything. Our friends and family remarked that she was the most difficult and demanding cat they had ever seen. Our loving, cuddly kitten had turned into a very neurotic cat who hid under the bed whenever company came. She was even scared of us. She stopped meowing and purring. When we brought another cat into the family as a companion for her, she became a bully, hissing and growling all day and night!
 
I found Spirit Essences basically by accident when researching holistic remedies for cats. Thank God I did!!! When I first emailed Jackson my predicament, he responded instantly with a few remedies to try. We started her on Scaredy Cat and then slowly we noticed her calming down some and the relationship between our two cats began to heal. After that we tried Grouch Remedy to smooth the rough edges of her personality! I always have Stress Stopper on hand for when I know something out of the ordinary is happening.
 
Gaia, though by no means an easy going cat, is now happy, healthy and much more well-adjusted. She and our other cat, Isis, are best friends. With the exception of their daily morning wrestling match, they are inseparable! They even cuddle at night. Thank you so much, Spirit Essences, we have our cat back!!!

I've used Spirit Essences for years and have always been extremely satisfied with the results. Here is my latest story.

In March of 2009, I noticed my eight year old cat, Manny looked like he was losing weight. I took him to the vet and had him weighed. He had gone from 7.2 pounds down to 6.1 pounds. The vet ran blood work and it didn't look good. Manny's values for his kidneys were THREE times the normal limit! He was in kidney failure. Never one to give up, I asked the vet what we could do. She put Manny on a kidney diet and I.V. fluids to be administered at home every other day.

Of course, I called Jackson. In tears, I told him what was going on. He calmed me down, and together we decided it was best to put Manny on UR Fine and Healthy Helper. Jackson decided on the one-two punch of using both remedies at once. We added Stress Stopper to be sprayed around the house and on Manny's sleeping areas. And, of course--for me to take. Jackson explained I needed to come to Manny from a "pure space," so being calm would only help him.

After five months and a few repeats of lab work, Manny is doing great! He is up to 7.2 pounds again (from the 6.1), his appetite is great, he has energy, his fur is shiny, and he's playing. He often drags Da Bird out for me to twirl around for him. His lab work shows he is down from the awful levels he was, and has stabilized at about twice the normal limits. But that means he has kidney function.

The vet is amazed at how well he is doing, and said let's not look at numbers, let's go by appetite and weight. Judging by both, Manny is doing awesome! Instead of getting I.V. fluids every other day, he only has to have them twice a week now, and I'm hoping we can improve on that.

Manny has since had a birthday--July 28th and is now nine years old.

Thanks, Jackson! I know adding the Spirit Essences really helped Manny to overcome the obstacles in his path. He continues to look and feel great! I don't know what I'd do without you and Dr. Jean, and your wonderful products. Bless you.
Betty (and Manny)

This is a picture of my five cats after I started using Peacemaker and Bully Remedy. Before using your products this picture would have been impossible; however, now my cats play, sleep and live in harmony with each other. I was skeptical in the beginning (would these remedies really work?) but now I know they do. I would highly recommend them to multiple cat households.

  Sam Gilliam, San Antonio, TX:

We recently adopted Barnaby, a 1 year old white beagle/terrier mix into our pack of two dogs: Theona, 4 yrs old, and Augustus, 13 yrs old.  With the help of the Ultimate Peacemaker Set, our new pack of three are all settlingin. Grumpy Old Gus is tolerant and Diva Theona is playing beautifully with
our White Whirling Dervish, Barnaby.

I am also incorporating Hyper Helper and Canine Training to solidify the rules of our household, which includes
DO NOT CHASE THE CATS, for this newest member of our family.  Photo: a quiet

We first met Kai as a tiny feral kitten who visited our house with his mom & sister. We trapped him and took him to the Humane Society to have him neutered as part of their spay/neuter program.  On encouragement from the vet we decided not to release him but to try and adapt him to the indoors. 

In those early days he had chronic diarrhea.  We tried various types of food to no avail and then I found the Spirit Essences website.  I ordered Happy Tummy and within a couple of weeks of starting treatment Kai’s diarrhea was virtually gone. After 4 months on a maintenance dose his gut totally settled. In fact at his one year check-up he was overweight and had to go on a diet!  I also got Feral Cat Rehab and it definitely helped take the edge off his feral instincts.  After 2 years with us he’s happy and content in a loving, safe home with no worries of a feral kitty and loves basking in the sun & warmth of the screen porch.

We live in a hurricane zone and also use Stress Stopper with our 3 cats and those we foster from the Humane Society during hurricanes.  It really helps keep them calm.  This year I’m going to have to remember to use some myself!

Thank you Spirit Essences.

I tried Spirit Essences and must tell you had a positive response.  I have a Pembroke Corgi competing in agility and splash dog (Jack).   He already had the title of world recorder holder by breed for splash dog with a jump of 10 feet 1 inches.    On April 17 and 19th we went to splash dog and used and Stress StopperCanine Performance (from the Ultimate Canine Athlete Set).  He broke his own record on the 17th by one entire foot jumping 11 feet 1 inch.  On the 19th he broke that record and jumped 11 feet 5 inches.   AMAZING for a dog with six inch legs. As far as agility, his first time using spirt essences he had two qualifing runs with record time... With that said you can only imagine what "canine performance" is doing for Jack.   In fact there are Labs that did not jump as far as Jack that weekend.

I also used sprit essesnces on my rescued Pembroke Corgi, Tucker.   I use Stress Stopper and Canine Training just before we go to training classes.   Big difference in attitude and confidence.   I am impressed...if I forget to give him "canine training" before classes you can really tell a difference.   I know this because last week I forgot.   Even my trainer made the comment "what is wrong with Tucker today", his little mind was everywhere except training.   While driving home I realized I had forgotten.   (bad mommy)     

We are very proud of Jack and grateful that Tucker is doing so well. I contribute part of that success to your products.

I just wanted to write and thank you for putting together a remedy just for show cats. The Feline Performance remedy has been a big help for our cat Chino, a 7 month old Abyssinian. He'd been a little hissy at the shows while in the ring, but this remedy seems to have helped him adjust some. He's starting to come around and feel comfortable while in the ring, and I think this remedy has played a huge part in it.

This is Gina Uszkiewicz of Trumbull, CT, and her happy handful Sammy. Gina had this to tell us:

I must say that your products have really been helping my Sammy with his aggression.  Especially Peacemaker and Bully Remedy.  I put the Peacemaker on his ears twice a day, and I put the Bully Remedy in his food twice a day.  I have to admit, for awhile there I was I don't know, a bit lazy, or being a bit stingy as I was purchasing the small bottles from you, so I was only giving the drops in the morning.  I told my vet about Sammy's aggression and told her how you also suggested that I check his thyroid.  We did that, his blood work came back perfectly normal, so my vet said to definitely up the dose to two times a day.  I have been doing that now with  and even within 2 days he has mellowed out!!  Even my husband Adam has noticed a difference within the first few days of giving the drops to him twice a day! A miracle! So I am going to buy only the big bottles from now on!
