Guardian Angel

EVERY once in a while something really unique comes along that revolutionises the way we look after our birds. Modern food ingredients are enabling nutrition companies to offer exciting new ways to keep birds and animals healthy and to assist the bird’s own natural systems to heal themselves in the face of an infection. Not surprisingly THE BIRDCARE COMPANY is at the front of the development of new products to help you.

The firm has been using herbal extracts to support the immune system of sick and stressed birds for a number of years. But these ingredients are not water-soluble which limits their use. However a world-wide search has produced exciting new materials that have demonstrated dramatic performance in trials on sick and stressed birds.  Unique white cell support system

Their research has focussed on the white blood cells. These are the immune system’s “Rapid Reaction Force”. When invaded by an infectious germ like a virus or bacteria the immune system manufactures huge quantities of white blood cells that rapidly spread through the blood system and kill the invaders. Any of you who have worked in a factory will know that, when there is a sudden large demand for a particular product, you inevitably can’t make it because you are short of stocks of at least one raw material. This can occur in the body as well.

In addition, white blood cells use large quantities of fats to power themselves as they go about attacking invaders. Fats are burned in the cells’ “boiler houses” (called mitochondria) and a special vitamin-like substance is used to get the fats into the mitochondria. Again this material can be rapidly depleted in the face of a hostile enemy.
So, by adding the special nutrients most in demand for rapid white cell production and by adding the special vitamin-like substance the bottlenecks can be prevented and the immune system can work at full power.

The new product, called Guardian Angel, is based around these two revolutionary new concepts. In order to make the use of this product as simple as possible THE BIRDCARE COMPANY has also included many of their other unique nutritional ingredients. So Guardian Angel incorporates the vitamins and unique Rapisorb minerals normally found in the “Essentials” products. It contains the beneficial probiotic bacteria and herbal extract from BioPlus and the highly bio-available minerals found in their Maxima. A maintenance level of Calcium is provided and this has been developed from their incredibly popular Calcivet product.

Finally the whole package is incorporated into the electrolytes, extra vitamin C and long term energy found in their Spark technology. Like Spark, Guardian Angel is 100% active ingredients. It does not contain any fillers or carriers.
Trials have been conducted on both sick and healthy birds. Here are some of the customer responses.
Patrick Hens is one of the biggest bird dealers in Europe. His operation in Belgium attracts visitors from Britain and around the Continent. Like other firms handling large quantities of birds Patrick has relied on expensive antibiotics to ensure his stock remains healthy. As part of our trials Patrick imported birds using Guardian Angel instead of antibiotics. The result was fit and healthy birds with no signs of stress at all!

In England we tested the new product on many groups of sick birds. Here are two examples of the excellent results. Neil Fisher rescued four black headed caiques from appalling conditions in a pet shop. They were sick, fluffed and soiled all over. They were making no progress when Neil rang THE BIRDCARE COMPANY. Two days on Guardian Angel and the birds were in fabulous condition. Even their feather colour had improved and they were full of energy and vitality.

Sheila Hayes of Sussex was suffering an outbreak of megabacteria in her flock of finches. She started using Guardian Angel while waiting for the appropriate drugs to arrive from her vet. All but two birds showed dramatic improvements after a very short time on the supplement. We do not believe that Guardian Angel will actually cure birds suffering from megabacteria. The correct anti-fungal drugs are still required. But this unique product will certainly help most of these birds cope with the infection far better and it will possibly improve the response to the drug treatment.

So Guardian Angel, used as a single supplement to a normal diet, should meet all of the patient’s extra nutritional needs as well as providing unprecedented immune system support. This means that Guardian Angel is both easy and economical to use. Sometimes, if calcium deficiency is suspected extra Calcivet will be recommended.
