Description
Strophantin: Nature’s Forgotten Heart Remedy – The Book by Dr. Jutta Ziegler
In this unique volume of the Therapeutika series,
discover why strophantin has been a successful herbal heart remedy for decades and why it deserves to be rediscovered today—not only for humans, but also for dogs and cats.
The History and Effects of Strophantin
Strophantin was already being used in the 19th century to treat heart diseases, particularly angina pectoris. It is a cardiac glycoside extracted from the seeds of the African climbing shrub Strophantus. The effects of strophantin are scientifically proven: It increases the heart’s pumping power and lowers the heart rate—and, when used correctly, is virtually free of side effects.
Historical Significance and Modern Controversy
Until the 1980s, strophantin was an important component of cardiac therapy. Yet despite its proven success, it was supplanted by modern medications—a triumph for the pharmaceutical industry, as Dr. Jutta Ziegler critically notes. Numerous studies, including those by Dr. Berthold Kern, show, however, that strophantin can prevent heart attacks and has fewer side effects than many synthetic alternatives.
Strophantin for Dogs and Cats: New Hope in Veterinary Medicine
More and more veterinarians and pet owners are interested in natural alternatives for their four-legged friends’ heart health. Dr. Jutta Ziegler explains how strophantin can also be used in dogs and cats and why a shift in thinking within veterinary medicine is urgently needed.
Why Strophantin Should Be Rediscovered
• Decades of success in human and
veterinary medicine• Scientifically proven efficacy with a low
risk of side effects• Plant-based and sustainably sourced
Conclusion:
Dr. Jutta Ziegler’s book “Strophantin—Forgotten Heart Health from Nature for Dogs and Cats” is an indispensable guide for anyone interested in alternative, natural heart therapies and who wants to promote their pets’ health holistically.

New Approaches to Hoof Cancer Treatment – Papimi Ion Induction Therapy (IIT) for Horses
Innovative Treatment Approaches for Healthy Horse Hooves
Heike Lethaus, an experienced master equine technician and animal naturopath, presents a practical guide to modern hoof cancer treatment in this book. The focus is on Papimi Ion Induction Therapy (IIT), a proven method from human medicine that now offers new hope for horses as well.

With decades of experience in high-performance sports and animal therapy, Heike Lethaus has successfully treated numerous horses. Her approach: treating diseases holistically at the cellular level to eliminate not only symptoms but also causes in the long term. Papimi therapy serves as a bridge between human and veterinary medicine.
Case Study CC: Hope Through Papimi
Using the moving case of the gelding CC, who suffered from severe hoof cancer, Lethaus impressively describes the course of therapy. After many unsuccessful treatment attempts, IIT therapy brought about a turning point: freedom from pain, healing, and renewed confidence—documented through detailed case reports and therapy protocols.

A book by Dr. med. vet. Jutta Ziegler and Lisa Steiner
Dr. med. vet. Jutta Ziegler is one of the best-known veterinarians in the German-speaking world and is regarded as an expert in holistic veterinary medicine, species-appropriate nutrition, and alternative healing methods. After completing her veterinary studies in Vienna and earning her doctorate in 1981, she founded her own veterinary clinic in Austria and later ran a successful small-animal practice in Hallein near Salzburg. Over the course of her decades-long career, she shifted her focus from conventional veterinary medicine to holistic treatment, which centers on identifying the root causes of illness, natural nutrition, and the use of therapies free of side effects.

As a bestselling author, Dr. Ziegler has inspired many pet owners to rethink their approaches and exposed shortcomings in veterinary medicine through books such as “Dogs Would Live Longer If…” and “Veterinarians Can Endanger Your Pet’s Health.”

Both experts bring many years of experience in holistic veterinary medicine and natural nutrition to the table.

Clinoptilolite Zeolite - Dr. Jutta Ziegler
VfcG – Verlag für chronische Gesundheit publishes literature on animal health in collaboration with Dr. Jutta Ziegler. In Volume 6 of the *Therapeutika* series, Dr. Jutta Ziegler describes the effects of clinoptilolite zeolite as a microporous volcanic rock. It selectively binds mycotoxins, ammonium, and heavy metals (e.g., lead, cadmium, arsenic, chromium, nickel) in the intestine and excretes them via feces. This reduces the toxic load, stabilizes the intestinal barrier, has an antioxidant effect, supports the microbiome, and measurably relieves the burden on the liver and kidneys.
For clinical practice and everyday use
, zeolite passes through the digestive tract like a “sponge” without depleting vitamins or proteins; at the same time, it provides silicon dioxide to support connective tissue, skin, bones, and tendons. Applications range from digestive problems, leaky gut, histamine and reflux issues to supportive toxin reduction; for external use, it is suitable as a powder or ointment and for dental care. Dosage instructions: Start gradually, adding about 1 level teaspoon per 10 kg of body weight to the feed; temporary changes in stool consistency are possible; contraindicated in cases of intestinal obstruction.
