Canine Immune System Support

Dogs sometimes become aggressive, destructive, and even hysterical after receiving a vaccine.” In his 20 years of practice, Dr. Pitcairn said he “witnessed a dramatic difference between pets that were vaccinated and those not vaccinated. The pets not vaccinated have less illness, better coats, they tend not to attract parasites and are generally healthier overall.”  Dr. Pitcairn, DVM

I am often asked what we do for our dogs to support their immune systems in place of the chemical vaccines? Besides an exemplery diet, we choose to do something that we feel is more effective and so safe there are no side-effects.  Its called homeopathy.  What can it do that vaccines don’t do?  It works, its safe, it contains no parasites, pathogens, worms, viruses, bacteria, chemicals, heavy metals, preservatives, etc.  You get the picture.  Because they are safe and nontoxic, the body can respond to them without having to deal with these other things, and it can therefore support the body in making its antibodies naturally.  Antibodies made to pathogens this way are not only effective, but they last for a lifetime.

The vaccines on the other hand, have a list of side-effects that include skin problems, seizures, cysts, tumors, hip displacement, hair loss, changes in hair texture, warty growths, numerous types of cancers, mood and personality changes, DNA damage, and death.  Therefore, we are committed to avoid them as much as possible. The rabies vaccine is the only exception, which we are convinced is both unsafe and unnecessary, but out of ignorance, the state requires it.  You will understand more as to why we feel the way we do as you read the information below.

When our dog first came home, although she was not vaccinated, her parent dogs had been.  We knew the pathogens from her parents vaccines were likely to be in her, as well as any DNA damage she would have suffered from the vaccines. So the first thing we did was address all inherited vaccine issues.  Our puppy was given homeopathics for each of the vaccine worms, chemicals, and other pathogens she carried in her system.  See my blog on the www.holisticstandardpoodles.com website for more information regarding how we did this.  Once we were done with those, and the worms had been expelled, we were able to use homeopathy to address possible DNA issues that are common among Standard Poodles.

A word of awareness: I have interviewed a number of veterinarians, and found that its highly unusual to find one that knows anything about homeopathy or building antibodies ahead of time. Even when they say they know what it is, they essentially have no knowledge of how and why it works. As one veterinarian told me, she had taken a one day class and said, rather than an educational class, it was designed to discourage the new veterinarians from trying it. It isn’t the fault of the veterinarian, so we need to be patient, they weren’t trained to use natural solutions.  If your vet is willing, this is probably something you will have to teach them.  Or, move on, and keep looking until you find one.  I personally feel it is worth the time and effort to search for the right veterinarian who has some knowledge, is willing to learn, and still has some commonsense.  One woman I spoke with said she doesn’t use a vet at all, but rather the same naturopath she takes her children to.  He was the only one she could find that was able to get her dog truly well, and didn’t want to use harmful substances on him.  I would keep an open mind.

Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs), Cancer and How Your Pet May be in Danger

In December of 1980, the EPA published a study on the dangers of electromagnetic radiation to our health in a 300 page report titled “Evaluation of the Potential Carcinogenicity of Electromagnetic Fields.”

 

Our pets have very little natural protection from radiation and excess electrical current.  The more they are exposed, the more nutrients they use up as the immune system tries to heal the damage being done to the body. This attempt by their body to protect itself can result in an excess loss of nutrients, and as you can imagine, feeding your pet a less-than-optimum diet, can worsen the damage done.

 

Sources of damaging current include:

  • Smart meters on our homes – It is best to keep pets at least 8 feet away from smart meters.  Walls do not protect our body or theirs from current.
  • Power lines near the home or yard
  • Electrical wiring in the home
  • Appliances, from the hair dryer to our refrigerator
  • Wifi modems /internet
  • Cell towers within a 4 block radius, radio and television towers, anything that receives radio frequencies or signals, such as televisions, cell phones, cordless phones, clock radios, computers on a wireless network, GPS, any satellite transmission (radio, television), etc.

 

Remember, as mentioned earlier, current is cumulative, meaning it accumulates in the body while you are being exposed, so how long you are exposed to any one source is also important in terms of damage.

Eeek, How are we supposed to protect our pets?

Here are some suggestions:

  • Never place metal kennels within 8 feet of appliances that use a lot of electrical current, such as dryers, dishwashers, refrigerators, or freezers
  • Keep kennels at least 8 feet away from large screen televisions, or wifi modems, and outlets
  • Keep dogs beds (outside of the kennel) at least 5 feet away from outlets
  • Placing a one inch rubber mat under metal kennels helps to insulate them from current going through floors due to wiring, or light fixtures, that may be in the ceiling of a lower level, such as a basement or apartment. 

Studies on the dangers of EMFs

  1. Children living near transformers and power lines are far more likely to develop leukemia than those who don’t.  American Journal of Epidemiology, March 1979, Nancy Wertheimer, Ph.D., Ed Leeper, PhD, 1979
  2. Children living in homes near primary wires (those that carry electricity from substations to neighborhood transformers) were five times more likely to develop leukemia. American Journal of Epidemiology, Vol. 128, 1988. David Savitz, Ph.D.
  3. Children who live near high power lines, and also regularly used electric hair dryers, and/or sat in front of television sets had the highest rates of leukemia.   However, all electrical appliances were contributing factors, including electric clocks, fluorescent lights, vacuum cleaners, electric blankets, and heating pads. EPRI study, February 1991, John Peters, Ph.D, Univ. of Southern California

Lawrie Challis, chair of the United Kingdom’s Mobile Telecommunications Health Research Programme, is an independent organization that has done studies into radio frequency radiation from cell phones.  They believe it will take years for us to know the full extent of the damage cell phones cause our health.  British scientists Sir William Stewart and Lawrie Challis both criticize mobile phone companies for not giving their patrons true information about the possible dangers and levels of the radiation emissions from their phones.  United Kingdom’s Mobile Telecommunications Health Research Programme (UK) www.mthr.org.uk; Independent Expert Group on Mobile Phones (UK)  www.iegmp.org;  National Radiological Protection Board (UK) www.nrpb.org;  Townsend Letter for Doctors and Patients, July 2005

Ultrasound And Fetal Dopplers for Pets: What You Need to Know

Ultrasound is a procedure used by a veterinarian to confirm conception and to count the number of puppies a dog is carrying.  Instead of using ionizing radiation, ultrasound uses non-ionizing radiation, which may render it less harmful than the ionizing, however, that is not yet known.  Medical personnel choose to refer to ultrasound as high frequency sound waves, rather than radiation, because it sounds less dangerous.  The high-frequency sound waves transmitted from the device are well above the audible range.  For example, sound is between 20-20,000 cycles per hertz, AM radio stations transmit between 530-1630 kilohertz (sound ends at 20 kilohertz), and ultrasound directed at an unborn baby uses between 2-4 mega-hertz (million cycles per second).  These waves are directed into the pregnant dog’s womb, where they rebound from surface structures and produce “echoes,” that are then displayed and recorded on a screen.

“There is not one single controlled study which proves ultrasound is safe to use on the unborn fetus, animal or human.”  Fetal Effects of Ultrasound, by Jean Harper and Doris Haire, CNN

Ultrasound scans are also used to detect fetal abnormalities, confirm fetal presentations, investigate vaginal bleeding, detect pelvic abnormalities, and as an adjunct to certain procedures.

According to a CNN investigation produced by Jean Harper and narrated by Doris Haire, titled Fetal Effects of Ultrasound, there is not one single controlled study which proves ultrasound is safe to use on the unborn fetus, animal or human. Dr. Arthur Bloom, renown geneticist at Columbia University, says “Potentially it (ultrasound) can produce damage to the genetic material.  Some of these early studies are suggesting that there is in fact damage induced by diagnostic ultrasound. So our concern is growing.  If it is in fact a mutagen, it would also …  raise the question as to whether or not it is a cancer causing agent, because a very high percentage of agents that are mutagenic are also carcinogenic. We’re not suggesting that there is a major effect of ultrasound in terms of doubling the rate of birth defects, there may be a low level affect there that’s increasing the rate of congenital malformations that we may never be able to detect on clinical grounds.”

Dr. Bloom suggests “We should avoid routine ultrasound examinations because we’re beginning to see signs of danger.  Warning signs, that in the past predicted medical disaster.”  Some of these signs include:

  • Genetic damage to cells in test tubes
  • Ultrasound babies exposed to ultrasound weigh less at birth than those not exposed
  • Slowed growth patterns
  • Reflux abnormalities

Doctor Doreen Lebuskind, a radiologist at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, studied the effect of ultrasound on human tissue cells.  In her research, she observed abnormal changes in the look and behavior of the cells.  Changes she says that look the same as cells exposed to 29 rads of ionizing radiation, or X-rays.  She says that this is equal to approximately 250 chest X-rays.

Studies of ultrasound done on animals show the following effects:

  • Chromosome changes
  • Cranial and facial malformations
  • Small offspring
  • DNA changes
  • Jaundice
  • Liver cell changes
  • Brain enzyme changes
  • Delayed post-natal grasp reflex
  • EEG changes
  • Increased emotional reactivity
  • Delay in neuromuscular development
  • Reduction in immunoglobulin antibodies
  • Impaired immune system

CNN was shown normal cells through a microscope, before they were exposed to ultrasound radiation. They were described as growing apart (not stuck together), in neat rows, and move in a uniform fashion.  After exposure to ultrasound, they became a tangled mass, growing wildly and were literally all over each other.  Other normal cells, with smooth edges, were moving in a clear direction.  When exposed to ultrasound one hundred percent of them became distorted.

In regard to cell changes, Dr. Lebuskind said “Things are happening (to the cells), they’re happening to the DNA of these cells, they’re happening to the behavior, they’re beginning to grow in a funny way…  in some cases they are becoming tumor cells.  There are some long-lived effects on the DNA of the cells, on the behavior of the cells, and on the cell growth that persist for many, many generations after a single exposure.”  According to Dr. Bloom, “If a chemical were doing that, we would call it a mutagen.”  

The FDA will not commit itself to say they believe ultrasound scans are safe to use on the unborn baby.    Especially after they followed a study of 2000 children in the Denver area, half of which were exposed to ultrasound radiation, and found conclusively that children exposed to this type of radiation were lower in birth weight than those not exposed.  Doctor Bloom believes this is a serious cause for alarm because it is an indication that ultrasound radiation slows down the normal growth rate and maturation of cells.  “Clearly that is a very undesirable effect.”  What isn’t yet known is, just how long (months, years?) this growth-retarding effect is going to affect the child’s life.  And will it effect the future generations of him or her?

In the 1990s, other ultrasound studies touched on the possibility that there may be link with ultrasound radiation and a type of brain damage that would cause a child who would have been right handed, to become left handed. These babies also appeared to have a greater risk of other health issues, ranging from learning difficulties to epilepsy.

Because ultrasound devices use high frequency sound waves, there is a concern they may damage the baby’s ears, or cause later sensitivity to water and sound.   They have also been associated with miscarriage, reoccurring ear infections, and intestinal damage.  When the intestines are damaged, problems with digestion and infant “reflux” may result.  When a person, whether child or adult, is unable to make enzymes sufficiently, the body becomes vulnerable to many types of imbalances, including allergies, bacterial infections, abnormal cell growth, organ and glandular disorders, etc.  Also, when food is improperly digested, allergic reactions can develop to many types of foods, including natural, healthy foods.

Other concerns surfacing about ultrasounds and dopplers is the connection to ADD, ADHD, and autism.   It is interesting to note that seven of the most common health complaints among infants and young children in our country in the past 20 years, may all be linked to ultrasound radiation exposure:  Ear problems, reflux, ADD, ADHD, autism, slow or retarded growth patterns, and cancer.

Common Questions About Doodles & Poodles Naturally

Who is Doodles & Poodles  Naturally?

We are a family who loves our standard poodles. We are not a dog kennel and we do not raise poodles to sell as you would expect from a kennel. Our puppies come from our own two poodles who live with us, in our home, as companions.

Why are we breeding standard poodles? 

Simply because we think they are wonderful.  This is a breed we had only dreamed of owning some day, and we would love to make them more accessable to others like us.

What do we think is special about standard poodles?

Besides the fact that they beautiful when groomed, they are exceptionally smart, (rated as one of the top two smartest dog breeds).  They are also clean (they don’t shed), they don’t have the “dog smell” so often noted in other breeds, and make great companions.

What about grooming, is that necessary, and isn’t it expensive? 

It depends on what your preference is.  Some people don’t groom their poodles at all, and that is fine of course.  We love the look of groomed standard poodles, so we groom ours, but do it ourselves because of the cost.  I knew nothing about dog grooming when we purchased our first puppy so I went on YouTube and watched how-to videos on grooming standard poodles (several times).  There was also the initial cost of buying a clippers, but it was a lot less expensive then paying someone else to do it.  The first few times I groomed our dogs, they didn’t cooperate as well as I would have liked.  Lets face it, it was a pain, then I remembered, my children didn’t like their their first hair cuts either.  I wouldn’t say the poodles like it now either, after a dozen or so groomings, but they do just fine.  Its important to take your time, know its going to take 60-90 minutes, laugh a lot, make the dog feel relaxed about it, and have fun.  Also, if you botch it, remember, its going to grow back.  Then sweep up the mess!

What is a “natural” standard poodle?

The word natural, in reference to people, means the health of the whole person is taken into account,  the body, mind and spirit.  Health care and life-style addresses the whole person, not just one particular symptom or imbalance, and is done in the safest, healthiest way possible.  In reference to dogs, it also means the whole dog is cared for in a healthy, non-toxic way.  When we chose to breed our poodles, we did so with the intent of producing healthy, chemical-free puppies with wonderful dispositions.  They are fed a wholesome, healthy diet, they are dewormed with natural, non-harmful herbs and homeopathics rather than the harsh chemical dewormers, and are not given dangerous, unproven vaccines.  We will not in any way knowingly endanger our puppies or adult dogs.  In addition, they also get to keep their natural tails & dewclaws.

When you choose to purchase a poodle puppy from us, you are getting a puppy that we are confident is healthy, has no known genetic anomalies or damage from chemicals, dangerous vaccines or chemical dewormers.

We do not X-ray our pregnant dams or expose them to ultrasound radiation. Both of these forms of radiation have been found to epigenetically harm developing embryos.*

How will I know when the puppies are born?

We will post information on this website when we have upcoming litters, an announcement will be made when they are born, and again when they are ready to go to their new homes.  Pictures of the puppies will also be posted.

Who picks out the puppy for our family?

As much as possible, you do. We will give you as much information as we can regarding

temperament, size and color as we can determine in a young puppy, and let you decide which one you want.

Can we come to see the puppies?

For the health and well-being of the pups, we do not allow visitors.  Many breeders have lost whole litters after a well-meaning person, who visited other litters that were recently vaccinated, came and held their puppies too, spreading the resistant strain of a bacteria or pathogen (from the vaccine they were exposed to) to their litter.  For more information on this topic, see shedding in “Dog Vaccine Dangers.” However, we do send pictures and commentary on the progress of the litter to our buyers, so you can watch them grow.

How will I get my puppy if I can’t come to your home?

We will arrange to meet you at a convenient place, or if you are a great distance away, we can fly the puppy to an airport close to you.  To have a puppy flown to your location, you will add $450.00 to the cost of the puppy. This pays for the flight ticket, the kennel we have to purchase for the puppy’s flight, the veterinarian bill for the “well puppy” check-up required by the airlines, and our expenses to take the puppy to the airport.

What paperwork is necessary and how do I fill it out?

Click on Purchasers Agreement Contract on this website and follow the instructions.  You fill out and  return the contract by e-mail or through regular mail.

When are payments due and what forms of payment do you take?

The deposit is due when your name is placed on the waiting list for a particular litter and the balance is due when you take custody of your new puppy, or before it is shipped to you, whichever you choose.  The deposit is non-refundable, so please be prayful about your decision to get a puppy before you commit to a deposit.  The deposit can be made through the Paypal link or you can send a money order or cashiers check.

Do you charge sales tax?

Yes.  We are required to charge IA sales tax.

Can I send in a deposit now?

We accept a few “early bird” deposits before a litter is born for those families that want to ensure early. that they have a pup held for them.  This of course is refundable if no pup of their chosen gender is available at the time of birth.  We start taking early bird deposits after there is a confirmed breeding for that litter.

Where are we located?  

We are located in western Iowa.

Do you have any referrals?

Yes, available on request.

Are your pups sold with a limited or a full AKC registration? 

We send our pups home with a limited AKC registration, meaning the puppy will be AKC registered but cannot be bred.

What puppy food should I feed my puppy?

We feed our dogs and puppies a premium natural food called Life’s Abundance.  We chose this food because of its flawless history, never having a recall, having all natural and healthy recognizable ingredients, and is specially formulated by the best in the industry to meet your puppy/dogs nutritional needs.  More importantly, it tests healthy for my dogs to eat when tested with biokinesiology.  And, my dogs like it.  When my dogs reached 3 months of age, along with their dry dog food, I started feeding them raw, organic eggs, raw, organic meat, and 2-4 ounces of raw, organic cows milk (never homogenized or pasturized, as that renders the milk undigestable by the dogs).

What does my pup come home with?

A sample bag of dog food and a dog training and information book.

Do you offer a warranty?

Yes, we offer a 1 year genetic health warranty.  This covers any genetic health defect your veterinarian detects in your puppy that it renders your dog unsuitable as a pet.  This warranty is void if the puppy is overweight, vaccinated, and if its a female and she is spayed/neutered before her first heat.  It also is required that the puppy remain on Life’s Abundance food.

You’ll Never Believe Your Dog Needs This Type of Food

Organic Yogurt for the Immune System

To make yogurt:

Pour 42 oz (5 & 1/4 c.) Organic Half & Half, or Organic Raw Milk, to a medium sauce pan. The directions say to heat until milk boils and starts to climb up the pan. When we make it, we only heat the milk to 140 degrees, to prevent the loss of necessary nutrients. Then we turn off burner, move the pan away from the heat, and allow milk to cool to 108-112 degrees before adding the yogurt culture to it. To speed up the cooling process, you can place the saucepan with the hot milk into a sink or pan of cold water or ice.  Be careful not to get any ice or water in the milk.

Once its cooled to the desired temperature, if there is a“skin”that develops on top of the cooled milk, you want to take this off the top of the milk and throw it away.  The skin should all float to the top as the milk cools.  However, we have found that if you stir the milk as it cools, this skin never develops, so we don’t have to waste anything by throwing it away.

In a separate bowl, combine one package (5 g) of Yogourmet freeze-dried yogurt starter or other yogurt starter that you have, and approximately 1 cup of the cooled half & half. Mix well, then add the rest of the cooled half & half to this mixture.

If you are using a yogurt maker that has its own jars, now is the time to fill these jars with the milk-culture mixture.  Do NOT cover the individual jars with their lids.  Cover with yogurt maker lid only, and turn it on. Leave in the warmer for 12-13 hours for best results.  Then take the jars out of the maker, cover them with their lids, and put them in the refrigerator for another 4 hours. If the yogurt doesn’t appear to have fully set (solidified) when you take the jars out of the maker, this is okay, they will finish setting up in the refrigerator over the next 4 hours.

Using an oven: We have found that a warm oven works well too. If you have an old oven that will heat as low as 110 degrees, you can use this and leave the opened jars, covered in a towel, in it all night.  We do not have one of these, and ours only goes as low as 170 degrees.  What we did was to preheat the oven to 170.  We put a metal cookie sheet in the oven to heat that too, then we could use it for 2 purposes: setting the jars on it, and adding additional heat when we turned the oven off.  We also left the oven light on all night for additional heat. After our canning jars were filled with the milk-culture mixture, we covered each one with a dish-sized towel and set them fully covered except the bottom, on the cookie sheet and turned the oven off.  We do this in the evening so we can leave them all night.  They are fully set up when we take them out in the morning, 12 hours later.

Place individual lids on the jars and refrigerate.

It is best when eaten within 6 days after making. It can be served plain, with honey, preserves or fresh fruit.

Yogurt in a Crockpot

  1. Pour the milk into your crock pot and turn the heat on medium or high. You want to heat the milk very slowly until it reaches 180°F (30 mins to 1 hour).
  2. Turn off the slow cooker, unplug, and allow the milk to cool to 120°F (about 30 mins).
  3. While waiting for the milk to cool, measure out your plain yogurt starter and allow it to come to room temperature.
  4. Once milk is 120°F, add the yogurt and stir gently until it is fully incorporated.
  5. Cover with lid and then wrap the slow cooker with several towels.
  6. Set it where it will be undisturbed for 6 to 8 hours. Yogurt likes a quiet, still environment to ferment.
  7. Place the cultured yogurt into the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before eating to ensure that it’s fully set.

The more fat in the milk, the thicker, creamier and healthier the yogurt.

The longer you culture the yogurt, the less lactose will remain. If you are lactose-sensitive, culture your yogurt for at least 8 hours and up to 12.  Twelve hours will produce a healthier, more immune-benefiting yogurt.

The longer you culture the yogurt, the tangier it will be. If you like mellow yogurt, end the fermentation process and refrigerate after 6 hours. If you like a hearty tang, start with 8 hours and adjust the recipe from there.

Adding the live yogurt culture to your warm milk.  1 tablespoon is enough if you are just making it for enjoyment.  However, adding more will increase the healthy bacteria and the health building properties, like a super food.

For best health benefits, consume 4 ounces 3 times daily between meals.

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.
