Puppy Vaccination Facts

The information below is written for education purposes only.  It is not intended to replace the advice of a veterinarian, who should be consulted in matters relating to your pet’s health when medical conditions exist. Individual pet owners are solely responsible for their own decisions regarding the health and care of their pets.

We aren’t veterinarians, and wouldn’t presume to tell you what to do for your pet, but what we can do is share with you information we have found in research in order to support your pet’s health from this point forward.

It is a blessing for those of us who have dogs, that dogs and humans share many of the same health challenges. And their vaccines are much the same as ours. This allows us to learn from the experiences and studies done on people and apply this knowledge to our pets as well. 

The idea behind vaccines is the same for animals as it is for people. That by purposely exposing the immune system to an attenuated, or weakened, version of certain strains of bacteria or viruses, we could control the development of immunity to them. It was throrized that this technique would cause a more gentle reaction from the immune system, thereby avoiding the symptoms of a full blown illness. Its a good theory, however, because the viruses and bacteria in the vaccines are exposed to antibiotics, mercury-derived preservatives (thimersal), acetone, formaldehyde, hormones, mold, mildew, animal tissues, animal derived parasites, mycoplasma, and other toxic agents, they formed a resistant strain of the bacteria or virus instead. One foreign to the immune system. 

To make matters worse, instead of putting vaccines in the mouth, where the IgA antibodies in the mucous membranes of the mouth, sinuses and intestines can be stimulated to build antibodies (this is where the making of them is activated), they are injected deep into the tissues, where they stimulate the IgG antibodies.  The injected vaccines, instead of “immunizing,” served to weaken the immune system. In addition, a variety of new diseases was created, falling under the heading of “ autoimmune diseases” that resulted from the human tissues cells in the vaccine, that had been used to make them. 

Dr. Richard Moskowitz, M.D., in an article published in Health Freedom News, titled Vaccine-Related Illness, said “ Vaccines do not act merely by producing pale or mild copies of the original disease, all of them also commonly produce a variety of symptoms of their own. Moreover, in some cases, these illnesses may be considerably more serious than the original disease, involving deeper structures, more vital organs…” (originally reprinted from the Journal of the American Institute of Homeopathy).

Here is an examplePediatric Immunologist, Dr. Aubrey Tingle, at Children’s Hospital in Vancouver, British Columbia, linked the injected rubella vaccine to symptoms of arthritis. It is also suspected of causing kidney failure in infants and young children. Not what you would expect from rubella (german measles).

Here is another example. Professor Bonnie Dunbar, Ph.D., a cell biologist and vaccine researcher, collected data from several hundred doctors and patients who suffered neurological complications from the hepatitis B vaccine. Her list of complaints include: joint pain, chronic fatigue, lupus-like symptoms, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosis. Also not what you would expect. When New Zealand began a hepatitis-B vaccination program, researchers noted a 60% increase in the numbers of juvenile diabetes cases in the vaccinated population. 

In an article on animal vaccines in Alternative Medicine Digest, Issue 19, 1997 it was confirmed that animal vaccines do indeed cause similar reactions in animals to what human vaccines cause in humans. Not only are they created the same, but they also work much the same, and they seem to be getting worse with subsequent generations. In other words, we inherit some of the damage done by vaccines to our parents and grandparents. Then we add our own vaccine damage to that. 

According to Dr. Richard Pitcairn, D.V.M., Ph.D., of Eugene, Oregon, vaccines cause chronic health problems, autoimmune diseases, skin problems, nervous system abnormalities, cancers, tumors, seizures, and… tumors at the site of the injection. But – they have a solution: Dr. Jean Dodds, D.V.M., of Santa Monica, California says that tumors at the site of injection are becoming so common after vaccination, that some veterinarians are now giving them in the legs so they can be easily amputated if a tumor does develop. Dr. Dodds also found in her research, that vaccines cause high spiking fevers, cyclic pain, joint pain, diarrhea, lethargy, enlarged lymph nodes, and chronic illness into adulthood of the animal. And just like our children, some of the young animals vaccinated don’t survive more than a few days after receiving their vaccines. 

And again, just like people, Dr. Pitcairn said he found dogs sometimes become aggressive, destructive, and even hysterical after receiving a vaccine. He said in his 20 years of practice he witnessed a dramatic difference between pets that were vaccinated and those not vaccinated. He said the pets not vaccinated have less illness, better coats, they tend not to attract parasites and are generally healthier overall. 

One misconception that people have about vaccines is that if there was damage done to a child or pet, it would occur immediately and is an obvious reaction to their vaccine. However, research indicates this is usually not the case. Yes, there are those that die within the first 24 hours, others within a week. The rest however, all of whom suffer some degree of damage (who wouldn’t when poisons and toxins are injected into their body) that can worsen over time. According to research however, there was no correlation found between the severity of symptoms suffered when the vaccines are given and the damage that appears later on in life. In other words, just because your child, or pet, didn’t go into immediate seizures, have a high fever, or collapse into a coma, doesn’t mean there isn’t significant damage to their brain or organs of the body. Or, that that damage won’t increase in severity over the years. (Postgraduate Medicine 5, 1949, A.B. Baker; Journal of Pediatrics 34, 1949) 

Dr. Viera Scheibner, author of Vaccination – 100 years of Orthodox Research, made the following statement about the studies done on the safety and efficacy of vaccines: “There is not one study that demonstrates the safety and efficacy of any vaccine, or that they immunize at all.” She went on to say “ Immunizations, including those practiced on babies, not only did not prevent any infectious diseases, they caused more suffering and deaths than any other human activity in the history of medical intervention. “ She suggests, that the next time your doctor or veterinarian wants to put a vaccine in your loved one, whether animal or human, ask him for written proof of efficacy and safety. Then read it yourself, in its entirety. I think you will be shocked. 

In How to Raise a Healthy Child in Spite of Your Doctor (page 232), Dr. Mendelsohn states: There is growing suspicion that immunization against relatively harmless childhood diseases may be responsible for the dramatic increase in autoimmune diseases since mass inoculations were introduced.” Autoimmune disease is no longer uncommon in vaccinated animals either. 

In a 1964 issue of American Review of Respiratory Diseases, J. Brody stated, Immunoligists have been aware of a state of immunologic unresponsiveness following vaccination for years now.”

Dr. Henry Bybee, quoted in Murder by Injection, by Eustace Mullins, said “ My honest opinion is that vaccinations are the cause of more disease and suffering than anything I could name.”

Dr. Richard Moskowitz, in an article from The National Health Federation, titled, How Do the Vaccines Work? Said, “ It is dangerously mis-leading and indeed the exact opposite of the truth to claim that a vaccine makes us immune or protects us against acute disease…

Dr. Richard Delong, a Professor of Biology, quoted in Science News, July 31,1976, stated: “There are dangers grave to the future of mankind … This uncontrolled genetic manipulation is the mass administration of attenuated viral vaccines…” he goes on to say “…Attenuated vaccine viruses are infectious…they have the potential to be transmitted vertically and these viruses then, could be inherited through generations…This is to say nothing whatever of the other potential dangers the vaccine recipients must bear … such as mutations, chromosomal aberrations, birth defects, cancer, and reversion to virulence.” or, in other words, a return to a highly contagious state.

Why Do We Still Vaccinate if They are so Dangerous?

Doctor Robert Mendelsohn, in his book How to Raise a Healthy Child in Spite of Your Doctor, described one reason. He described what happened at a forum with the American Academy of Pediatrics in 1982. A resolution was proposed that suggested the AAP make information available to parents about the dangers and ineffectiveness of vaccines. According to doctor Mendelsohn, the doctors at the forum rejected the idea. They did not want parents to have this information.  Dr. Mendelsohn said “…because routine immunizations, that bring patients back for repeated office calls, are the bread and butter of their specialty, pediatricians continue to defend them to the death.” Another physician agreed with Dr. Mendelsohn, stating that he felt vaccines did nothing more than make patients for a life-time.  Dr. Coulter stated If pediatricians couldn’t schedule well-baby visits and vaccines for kids, they’d have to fold up their tents and ride into the sunset. Because vaccines provide a large portion of their livelihood.” Unfortunately, it appears as though the same applies to veterinary medicine. 

Puppy Immunizations Without the Shot

The great news is that puppies can receive the important immunizations necessary without the risks of injections. Proven oral immunizations have been used for centuries to support immune function and disease protection.
