PROTEUS WARRIOR MAX MEAL TOPPER* ADJUNCTIVE URINARY INFECTION PATHOGEN SUPPORT* for DOGS & CATS*

PROTEUS WARRIOR MAX MEAL TOPPER* ADJUNCTIVE URINARY INFECTION PATHOGEN SUPPORT* for DOGS & CATS*  (* As recommended by holistic veterinarians for use under a traditional medical system)  Proteus mirabilis is a gram negative bacterium that promotes polymicrobial infection and bacterial persistence within the urinary tract., and is commonly resistant to antibiotics and steroid regimens due to its ability to create biofilm, a protective coating on cells that help defend Proteus microbes against drugs used to treat urinary infections. Proteus mirabilis can lead to acute urinary retention, acute bank and flank pain, pyelonephritis, bacteremia, shock and even death.   Urinary Tract Infections (UTI's) occur in approximately 15% of all dogs and cats over their lifetimes. Once a UTI has occurred, there is an approximate 82% chance they will become cyclical. UTI's associated with Proteus mirabilis are impacted by more advanced uro-pathogens, which attack and overtake the urogenital  tract caused by opportunistic pathogens.  Proteus manifests advanced swarming and metabolic techniques which not only help spread the infection, but also enlist other resistant bacterial pathogens and phenotypes (Proteus mirabilis, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus spp., and Enterococcus spp.) to help increase its virulence. Nearly 6% of all dogs and cats experiencing UTI's do not respond to veterinarian drugs and require other forms to help alleviate dangerous, painful, repeating infection cycles.   Proteus mirabilis is with both associated with upper and lower urinary tract infections and is frequently found in cases of complicated bacterial cystitis, however, it can also affect the digestive tract.  Animals with structural anomalies of the urinary tract, pets who have been catheterized (approx. 24-40%), and female dogs with a recessed vulva (also known as a hypoplastic or juvenile vulva) are especially at risk due to Proteus bacterium overpopulation in the surrounding folds of the skin.  Dogs and cats with vulvar abscess, which leads to a buildup of bacteria and pus beneath the skin of the vulva, and pets with peri-vulvar areas contaminated with urine and feces may also be at a higher risk.   PROTEUS WARRIOR MAX MEAL TOPPER* ADJUNCTIVE URINARY PATHOGEN & INFECTION SUPPORT* is an adjunctive, supplementary addition for dogs and cats affected by Proteus mirabilis that may potentially help alleviate virulent Proteus urinary pathogens that commonly cannot fully addressed by medications. PROTEUS WARRIOR MAX MEAL TOPPER* may help work to help restrict Proteus behaviors, including its ability to "swarm" the uro-gential tract, increasing infection motility, spiking bacterium presence in the blood, infecting tissues, converting other bacteria present to potentiate its virulence, diverting immune response, while causing severe and protracted urinary infections.  (* As recommended by holistic veterinarians for use under a traditional medical system) PROTEUS WARRIOR MAX MEAL TOPPER* may help provide an additional line of defense against urease caused by Proteus bacterial species, which generates ammonia and an elevated urinary pH that normally exceeds 7.2. PROTEUS WARRIOR MAX* may help limit high levels of ammonia common to Proteus, as well as may help inhibit other bacterial species from populating and thriving. (* As recommended by holistic veterinarians for use under a traditional medical system) PROTEUS WARRIOR MAX MEAL TOPPER* may help restrict crystalline biofilm and urinary crystals and stones (usually comprised of calcium and magnesium) that result from urease production, which then allows bacteria to enter into the urinary tract, obstructing urinary flow. Proteus mirabilis and other enjoined bacteria are also restricted from producing immunoglobulin A protease, which would otherwise allow the bacteria to evade a balanced immune response. (* As recommended by holistic veterinarians for use under a traditional medical system) PROTEUS WARRIOR MAX MEAL TOPPER* has an adaptogenic action that may help infiltrate gram-negative bacteria like Proteus mirabilis, including the lipid bilayer, lipoprotein, polysaccharide and lipopolysaccharide layers. It may also help prevent microbial adherence to uroepithelial cells, using fimbriae, like other gram-negative bacteria, to help overcome and help eliminate E. coli and P. mirabilis. After Proteus attachment, (* As recommended by holistic veterinarians for use under a traditional medical system) PROTEUS WARRIOR MAX MEAL TOPPER* may also help limit the secretion of interleukin 6 and interleukin 8, which is required for Proteus to proliferate.  (* As recommended by holistic veterinarians for use under a traditional medical system) (* As recommended by holistic veterinarians for use under a traditional medical system) Symptoms of Proteus mirabilis are common to UTI's except symptomatically, are virulent and include urethritis, painful urination, pus in the urine (cloudy urine, pyuria), increased frequent urination, urethral discharge, cystitis, urinary urgency, back pain, concentrated urine, small volumes or urine, blood in the urine, kidney inflammation, prostatitis, sepsis, chills, malaise, nausea, vomiting and flank pain. Because Proteus has adaptive, self-detecting and self-protecting bacterial actions, it is likely imperative to use PROTEUS WARRIOR MAX MEAL TOPPER* due to its adaptogen formulation to help detect and work to help overcome overgrowth through complex plant chemistry related to all forms of Proteus iterations. (* As recommended by holistic veterinarians for use under a traditional medical system) PROTEUS WARRIOR MAX MEAL TOPPER* may also enact a defense against common Proteus activities, including reducing its required nitrogen rich environment, may help reduce interbacterial competition and killing through a type VI secretion system, and possibly intercepting the reciprocal regulation of adhesion and motility of Proteus, possibly halting its presence and progression in the body. (* As recommended by holistic veterinarians for use under a traditional medical system) Part of the mechanism for PROTEUS WARRIOR MAX MEAL TOPPER** is its ability to inhibit reverse transcriptase, a chemical required by viruses to replicate, to help inhibit beta-lactamase, an enzyme produced by Proteus mirabilis that inactivates antibiotic and steroid response and as a COX-inhibitor , may help remove excessive pro-inflammatory enzymes that result in widespread inflammation in the body. Prroteus mirabilis cannot bypass the complex phytochemistry of PROTEUS WARRIOR MAX MEAL TOPPER* as it is also a potent plant based antibiotic, steroid, anti-inflammatory, COX-inhibitorand anti-microbial. (* As recommended by holistic veterinarians for use under a traditional medical system) Recommended Use: ALS, Adult, Senior, Puppy, Kitten, for urinary tract health, as an adjunctive for urinary tract infection and inflammation, for urinary bacterial overgrowth, for digestive health, for pets requiring a nutritional support for balanced immune response INGREDIENTS: Contains a proprietary adaptogen blend that includes plants such as Brazilian Peppertree and Copaiba.
