Dr.
Dee Blanco, D.V.M - "You take healthy animals and often very quickly
after
you vaccinate, you can see simple things like itching
of the skin or excessive
licking of the paws, sometimes even with no
eruptions and licking of the air.
We see a lot of epilepsy/seizure,
often after a rabies vaccination. Or dogs or cats can become aggressive
for several days. Frequently, you'll see urinary
tract infections in cats, often within three
months after their [annual] vaccination. If you step back, open your mind
and heart, you'll start to see patterns of illness post-vaccination." (veterinarians
have also observed vaccinosis symptom of severe
inflammation of the tail)
Homeopathic Nosodes
Dr. Charles Loops D.V. M.
Nosodes are homeopathic remedies that are made from the specific products
of a particular disease. This can be tissue containing the actual
disease agents or tissue affected by those agents. Sometimes nosodes
are made from vaccines containing the organisms. The nosodes are
prepared in a diluted and potentized form just like all other homeopathic
medicine. There is no potential for an animal to become infected
with
a given disease agent from a nosode because of the pharmaceutical process
that occurs which dilutes and inactivates any viable organisms. Nosodes
seem to work most effectively, homeopathically, when they are given near
or at the time of exposure. For instance, giving a Parvovirus Nosode
immediately before and after a potential exposure would provide the best
protection from the Nosode.
Homeopathic nosodes can be used when your companion becomes at risk
for a disease before three months of age, or if warranted, in unvaccinated
animals to help protect against some contagious diseases. Many guardians
use these homeopathic medicines to help protect their companions against
Parvovirus, Distemper, and Kennel Cough in dogs and Panleukopenia and FIP
in cats.
Homeopathic medicines are "animal friendly"
for several reasons. Because their action works across the mucous
membranes of the mouth, it is not necessary to swallow the medicine.
This makes it easier when dosing, since the mouth doesn't have to be opened
and the remedy can be placed on the gum or inside the lip. The single
dose powder is sweet tasting as it is in a lactose sugar base and the liquid
remedies are diluted at home before giving, so that the alcohol taste is
not a problem. Even cats generally do not mind taking their medicine.
In fact, they often get excited when the bottle appears.
Rabie Vaccines
By law, an animal must be vaccinated against rabies every three years.
To protect your pet, you can request a homeopathic antidote to minimize
the side effects of vaccine damage from Dr. Charlie Loops. For rabie
vaccine, the remedy is "lyssin". The cost $6.00 for single doses and $15.
for 1/4 ounce bottles for repeated dosing. Some nosodes seem to work more
effectively than others. None produce titers against disease like
a vaccination, so they are not vaccine replacements. They
do seem to moderate a disease condition if the animal is exposed, even
if they don't prevent it. Homeopathic nosodes are another option for guardians
who wish to avoid vaccinations. Nosodes cost $15. each and provide many
doses. They are dosed "as needed" and instructions are provided from
Dr. Loop's office.
Alternative Vaccines
Excerpt from The
Vaccine Guide : Making an Informed Choice by Randall Neustaedter
Conventional vaccines prepared by modern vaccine manufacturers represent
only one form of disease-specific prevention. Vaccines and preventive medicines
are also available to parents in homeopathic form. There is a long history
within homeopathic medicine of attempting
to prevent specific diseases, especially during epidemics.
The medicines used in homeopathic form consist of two classes. One class
includes those substances obtained from the natural world of plants, minerals,
and animal products. The second class, called nosodes, includes substances
derived from disease products, tissue samples, mucus, pus from discharges,
or pure cultures of microorganisms. Nosodes
correspond to the specific diseases associated with the individual bacteria
or virus, or the infectious material sample taken from a patient. Both
of these classes have been used to prevent disease. Examples of this include
Lathyrus sativa (a plant) for polio and Pertussin (a preparation of the
bacteria Bordetella pertussis) for whooping cough.
A medicine that has proven effective for a specific epidemic of a disease
in the community can be used as the preventive for other cases of that
disease, though homeopaths tend to use those medicines that have proven
themselves in the past. As a general rule, homeopaths utilize the nosode
of the infectious organism to prevent disease. Nosodes are named with the
Latin terms for the infection or organism, Morbillinum for measles, Diphtherinum
for diphtheria.
This method of homeopathic prophylaxis has been formulated into strategies
and rules of two types - short-term prevention during epidemics and long-term
prevention.
Experience with the use of nosodes during epidemics has led to a level
of confidence and optimism about the protective effect of this method.
Since the mid-nineteenth century, homeopaths have attempted to prevent
or limit the spread of disease during epidemics, with some success. Most
of the experience with this approach occurred during the era preceding
the availability of vaccines. Homeopaths reported a decrease in the severity
and frequency of disease in those patients who received the nosode preventively.
The method of homeopathic prophylaxis has never been rigorously tested.
Nonetheless, there is some evidence suggesting that homeopathic medicines
do act to prevent diseases during epidemics. One study observed the occurrence
of meningitis in a group of children who received a homeopathic preventive
(Meningococcinum 10c in a single dose) during a 1974 epidemic in Brazil.
Of the 18,640 children given the homeopathic nosode, 4 developed meningitis
(0.02 percent), compared to 32 cases in the 6,340 unvaccinated children
(0.5 percent). This represents a significant difference in a controlled
study, although the control group was not randomized (Castro and Nogueira,
1975). Eisfelder reported an uncontrolled study of 50,000 children who
received Lathyrus, a homeopathic preparation used to treat paralysis, in
varying potencies during the polio epidemic of the 1950s. Only one of these
children developed (non-paralytic) polio. The general population had a
significantly higher rate of polio than 1 in 50,000 (Eisfelder, 1961).
These studies do not prove the effectiveness of homeopathic prophylaxis
in epidemics, but many homeopathic practitioners have been convinced by
their own experience with this form of disease prevention. The practice
of using homeopathic preparations to prevent disease during epidemic exposure
may be effective. The medicines cause no adverse effects, and, in the absence
of any other form of prevention, there was no reason not to use them. In
an epidemic of a serious disease their use is still warranted, though there
are valid reasons to allow children to undergo the milder childhood occurrence
of measles, mumps and chickenpox to acquire lifelong immunity.
Alternative vaccines in homeopathic form are also available for long-term
prevention. Several protocols exist for the administration of homeopathic
nosodes or the corresponding remedies for the prevention of whooping cough,
meningitis, diphtheria, tetanus, polio, and other diseases during childhood.
There exists significant controversy within the homeopathic profession
about the appropriateness of using these preparations for long-term prevention.
This controversy involves the areas of effectiveness, safety, and ethics.
No long-term studies have been conducted to evaluate the efficacy of
this form of prevention. There is no reason to assume that these vaccines
continue to act preventively years after administration, unless immunity
is shown through an objective test or clinical studies.
Homeopathic preparations have not been shown to raise antibody levels.
Smits tested the titre of antibodies to diphtheria, polio and tetanus in
ten children before and one month after giving homeopathic preparations
of these three vaccines (DTPol 30K and 200K). He found no rise in antibody
levels (Smits, 1995). He speculates that protection afforded by a homeopathic
remedy acts on a "deeper" level than that of antibodies. Other homeopaths
have stated similar opinions. Golden says, "unlike conventional vaccines,
the Homoeopathic alternative does not rely on antibody formation." He postulates
that "Homoeopathic remedies reduce the patient’s sensitivity to the dynamic
stimulus of the virus or bacteria, thus lessening the patient’s predisposition
to being overcome by this stimulus" (Golden, 1994).
If homeopathic remedies do not produce an increase in antibody levels,
then the only way to measure the effectiveness of homeopathic prophylaxis
is through clinical results. This is a formidable undertaking. The cost
of long-term studies using homeopathic prophylaxis would be prohibitive,
given the present resources available. Ethical problems could also prevent
such studies from occurring; it is doubtful that ethics committees would
allow children to be deprived of the commonly administered and approved
allopathic vaccines. Moskowitz has suggested that the sizable population
of unvaccinated children whose parents have refused vaccines, could provide
a control group to assess the long-term negative effects of vaccines (Moskowitz,
1985). Perhaps this population could also serve as a test group for homeopathic
prophylaxis.
Parents need to understand that there is no evidence to support the
use of these homeopathic preparations for long-term prevention. There is
nothing in the literature that shows homeopathic prophylaxis provides lasting
immunity from specific diseases
Handbook of
Homeopathic Alternatives to Immunizations by Susan Curtis BA, MCH,
RShom
This book was written as a practical guide to explain what homeopathy
has to offer as alternatives to immunization
Alternative Vaccines in Veterinary Medicine
Veterinary homeopaths in the past did not have access to any vaccine
or antibiotics and they hit this illness head on with their various homeopathic
medicines and nosodes. Research into the old texts many of which are out
of print and only found in the archives of universities have produced information
which may be of value for today.
In the 1830s veterinarian Doctor Wilhelm Lux was called to attend a
flock of sheep that were dying of Anthrax. This German scientist had previously
experienced success using nosodes to prevent and treat other diseases in
livestock.[J. H. Clarke, M.D. Dictionary of Materia Medica, Vol.. pg. 118-119]
Dr. Lux prepared an alcoholic extract from the spleen of the sheep that
had just died. Soon a number of physicians and veterinarians were employing
this new homeopathic medicine for their patients who were suffering with
serious illnesses. The lives of both sheep and their shepherds were being
spared by his gift of Anthracinum. [C. Hering, M. D., The Guiding Symptoms
of Our Materia Medica, Vol. 1, pg. 299] more...
In veterinary medicine, probably the best known study was done by Dr.
Christopher Day of England involving `kennel cough' in a boarding kennel.
At the time he was called in, there were 40 dogs in the kennel with 35
that had kennel cough. About half had been vaccinated for this malady.
He gave a nosode to all the animals that were there and all the dogs that
came in through the rest of the summer (another 214 dogs). He successfully
reduced the incidence of kennel cough from over 90% to less than 2%. (Sorry
Charlie, nothing is 100% foolproof.)
Nosodes have been developed and used
successfully for almost all animal disease and more recently for `heartworm'.
The late Dr. George MacLeod, in his book "Dogs: Homeopathic Remedies" had
this to say about nosodes: "…gives a more solid immunity inasmuch as it
incorporates the entire defense system, which is mobilized as soon as the
vaccine is taken into the mouth and builds up protection with each further
dose. This build-up leads from tonsillar tissue through the lymphatics
incorporating the entire reticuloendothelial system. This procedure is
equivalent to what is known as `street infection' viz., ingestion of virus
etc. during daily contact with other animals, when immunity would be built
up in the same way."
"…There are no side effects when using
homeopathic oral vaccines-a reaction may sometimes be observed…but such
reaction is transient and soon passes."
"…Another advantage in protection by
homeopathic means, is that vaccination can be started very early in the
pup's life, e.g., within the first week if necessary. This does not interfere
with the presence of any maternal antibodies."
Nosodes appear to stimulate the entire
natural immune system to react against a specific disease. One of the many
reasons that they have not been accepted in the `orthodox' medical community,
is that they do not produce specific, measurable antibodies! This `titer
testing' is of little value in measuring effective immunity from nosode
usage. Again, because the `mechanism' of action is poorly understood, the
'orthodox' reaction is to reject all evidence as merely `anecdotal.' Perhaps
the `challenge' study by Dr. Schultz will provide more acceptable evidence
to this mentality.
The
Dangers of Vaccinations and the Advantages of Nosodes for Disease Prevention
by dr. donna starita mehan
The purpose of vaccination is to protect your pet from potentially fatal
infections by pathogenic (disease-causing) viruses such as distemper, rabies,and
others. The way this is done is to inject either a killed or a "modified"
(non-pathogenic) live virus, which sensitizes the immune system to that
particular virus. Thereafter, if your dog or cat is exposed to, let's say,
parvo virus, s/he will be able to respond quickly and vigorously, producing
antibodies to overcome the infection.
This sounds like a pretty good plan, on the surface. However, as with
any medical procedure, we must ask the simple and direct questions, "Is
it safe? Is it effective? Do the benefits outweigh the risks?"
The Problems With Vaccinations
Routine" vaccination, as it is practiced today, is not always effective
(especially in the case of the feline leukemia vaccine), and frequently
has adverse side-effects, either short or long term. With the use of multivalent
(combination: 4 in 1, 6 in 1, etc.) vaccines that are repeated year after
year, the frequency and severity of these side-effects in our pets has
increased dramatically.
Not surprisingly, most of the problems involve the immune system. After
all, the immune system is what vaccines are designed to stimulate. But
they do so in a very unnatural way that can overwhelm and confuse the immune
system. The body may overreact to normally harmless substances (allergies,
especially flea allergies and other skin problems), or even produce antibodies
to itself (autoimmune disease). At the same time, the body may be sluggish
in responding to those things that it should reject, such as common viruses,
bacteria, fungi, and parasites. This can result in increased susceptibility
to acute infections (such as ear infections in dogs, bladder infections
in cats), chronic tapeworm problems, or in more degenerative cases, cancer.
Lack of Alternatives
The big question has always been: What alternative is there? Despite these
potential problems, vaccination must surely be preferable to losing puppies
and kittens to distemper, parvo, and other fatal diseases! Until recently,
there have been no practical alternatives, so the short term benefits of
vaccination have seemed to outweigh the long term risks. Now, however,
there is a safe and effective alternative to vaccination: homeopathic
nosodes.
Homeopathic Nosodes: a Better Alternative
A nosode is simply a homeopathic remedy that is made from a disease product.
Nosodes are not in any way infections, and can be used in the same way
as vaccines, that is, to prevent viral infection. Like vaccines, nosodes
sensitize the body to a particular virus, so the immune system can react
quickly and effectively to natural exposure. Nosodes are at least as effective
as vaccines, and in some cases have been shown to be significantly more
effective than vaccines in preventing infection.
The biggest advantage of nosodes over vaccines is the fact that they
are completely safe. There are no risks or side-effects whatever. And they
can be safely given to puppies and kittens much earlier than vaccines can.
In fact, the mother can be treated before she gives birth, giving the puppies
or kittens protection from the moment they are born.
Nosodes, like all homeopathic remedies,
are very easy to administer: they are given by mouth, and don't even need
to be swallowed. They are also very economical - far less expensive, in
fact, than vaccination.
Limitations of Nosodes
There are some limitations to the use of nosodes. Rabies vaccination for
dogs is required by law in most counties, and the rabies nosode, called
Lyssin,
will not satisfy that requirement. You should know, however, for the health
of your animal, that all vaccines, including rabies are legally and medically
approved for use in healthy animals only! So if your dog is showing any
signs of acute or chronic disease, s/he is exempt from that requirement
and should not be vaccinated.
Despite the obvious advantages of nosodes, most boarding
kennels and veterinary hospitals will not accept them in lieu of vaccination.
If you need to board your dog or cat in a boarding kennel or veterinary
hospital, you may be forced to have him/her vaccinated. This is a problem
that will hopefully improve with time as more kennel owners and veterinarians
become familiar with nosodes.
If You Vaccinate
As a veterinary homeopath, I do not recommend routine vaccination for dogs
or cats, except for rabies in health dogs. If, for whatever reason, you
decide that you must vaccinate your pet, I would make the following recommendations:
-
Never vaccinate an animal with symptoms of acute or chronic health problems,
or at the time of surgery or any other physical or emotional stress.
-
Vaccinate for one disease at a time that is, avoid multivalent (combination)
vaccines. For cats, vaccinate for feline panleukopenia alone. The vaccines
for the two upper respiratory viruses (calicivirus and rhinotracheitis)
can be given together. I strongly recommend against vaccination for feline
leukemia or feline infectious peritonitis virus. The vaccine is ineffective,
and in my opinion, extremely hazardous. For dogs, give parvo separately
from distemper. Do not vaccinate for leptospirosis, hepatitis, or parainfluenza.
Never give the rabies vaccine at the same time as any other vaccine.
-
Avoid modified live virus vaccines whenever possible. Get killed virus
vaccines, especially for rabies, canine parvo virus, and feline panleukopenia.
(The canine distemper/hepatitis vaccine is not available in a killed virus
form).
-
For middle ages dogs and cats, vaccinate every 2-3 years, instead of yearly.
-
After vaccination, give a dose of Thuja 30c. Wait one week,
then give a dose of Sulfur 6x once daily for 7 days.
Therapeutic Use of Nosodes
In addition to helping prevent specific viral diseases with prophylactic
use, nosodes can be used even after exposure to a virus has taken place.
If given immediately after exposure, before symptoms develop, these nosodes
can prevent the development of clinical disease.
Viral diseases such a feline leukemia, feline infectious peritonitis,
canine distemper and canine parvo virus are usually incurable with conventional
medical treatment (antibiotics, steroids, etc.). However, they frequently
respond very quickly and favorably to homeopathic treatment. If your pet
shows any symptoms of illness, specific, individualized homeopathic treatment
will be needed. Due to the potential seriousness of these conditions, you
should seek professional help.

Homeopathy,
immunity, vaccinations, and nosodes
An animal, properly fed and cared for, will have a significantly enhanced
resistance to disease. The degree of resistance relies principally on nutrition
and total care.
Treatment of Disease
Nosodes are typically used in a therapeutic manner, to treat patients
with the same illness (isopathic), or a similar disease (homeopathic).
For example, Psorinum, the mange remedy, is made from human scabies, and
is useful in treating other skin conditions as well.
Nosodes, when properly prescribed, are useful and safe for young animals
who, while below the recommended age for vaccinations, have become ill
with a particular preventable disease, or similar disease symptoms.
When using nosodes to treat an existing illness, such as EPM and other
seriously debilitating diseases, however, it would be a mistake to look
at a nosode, or any other homeopathic remedy, as the only solution. One
or more veterinarians should be consulted to evaluate the animal's situation,
and the results that follow treatment. For instance, if Hypericum and the
EPM nosode are given to two different horses, one horse may have tremendous
improvement, and another horse may appear much worse. It is also vitally
important to balance the nutrition, to support the horse with vitamin and
possibly herb therapy, and to consider other therapies, to get him in a
state of recovery. Finding a well-trained homeopathic veterinarian is important
if you choose this route. A list of homeopathic veterinarians is available
through the AVH and the AHVMA (see SIDE BAR).
Regarding vaccinosis, if your animal is suffering from the ill-effects
of a particular vaccination, the nosode of that particular disease could
be used to antidote the effects. Some of the other remedies that may help
the body rid itself of vaccinosis include Lachesis, Pulsatilla, Silicea,
Sulphur, and Thuja. Chronic conditions, especially, are best left to the
professional homeopath.
Prevention of Disease
Nosodes are also being used in a prophylactic, or preventive, manner,
such as in healthy young animals below vaccination age. It is viewed by
some as a way to expose the immune system to the energies of a disease,
without exposing it to the disease itself, thereby stimulating an immune
response. Unlike a vaccination, a nosode will not introduce foreign, and
possibly harmful, substances into the body.
It is believed by some homeopaths that energetic immunization can be
achieved with nosodes, orally, via contact with the nervous system. There
are more nerves in the mouth than anywhere else. In contrast to vaccinations,
nosodes activate the entire defense system, energetically and physically,
thereby yielding a more solid immunity. more

Homeopathic
Alternative to vaccines
Homeopathy is a complete system of healing, discovered 200 years ago
by a German physician, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann. It has its own method of diagnosing
and its own special remedies. The remedies are all natural, rarely have
side-effects and are not addictive. They are safe for adults, the elderly
as well as for infants and children. Even pregnant women can take the remedies
safely. Homeopathic remedies are very effective in acute and chronic diseases.
In the U.S., homeopathy is a legally recognized method of healing.
Nosodes are homeopathic preparations made from cultures of microbes
and viruses. The nosode is prepared by serial dilution. Nosodes are administered
in different two basic ways. In the case of nosodes from bacteria and viruses,
the preparation carries the molecular imprint of the proteins and other
constituents of the pathological agent. The working of the nosode is based
on the fact that the immune system is sensitized to this molecular imprint
without being exposed to the virulence of the living agent. The use of
nosodes as a replacement for vaccination is based on this mechanism.
A nosode from a pathological agent, such as the measles, whooping cough
(pertussis), etc., carries the molecular imprint of the agent and therefore
sensitizes the immune system in such a way as to prepare the body for the
defense against that same pathological agent. This is important in the
case of children's diseases, where a primary infection is necessary to
immunize the child, often for life, at a moment when the baby is highly
vulnerable.
Whether a baby will be immunized with a vaccine or not, the administration
of a nosode for each of the common children's diseases is an ideal way
to start building immunity. Because of the fact that the agent is present
in the nosode as an imprint and not as a virulent entity, it is a safe
and gentle way to sensitize the immune system. It will protect against
shock and serious consequences in the case of infection or vaccination.

Titers:
What do they tell us?
By Christie Keith
Many people who are trying to reduce vaccination are interested in using
"titers" as a test to measure whether or not their dog is still immune
to a disease. They often speak of titers as showing "high" or "low" immunity,
or of "having to" re-vaccinate when a titer is low. While there is not
a tremendous amount of research on titers in dogs, I think it's fair to
say there is quite a bit of misunderstanding on the part of pet owners,
and even many veterinarians, as to what a titer test does or does not tell
us.
A "titer" is a measurement of how much antibody to a certain virus (or
other antigen) is circulating in the blood at that moment. Titers are usually
expressed in a ratio, which is how many times they could dilute the blood
until they couldn't find antibodies anymore. So let's say they could dilute
it two times only and then they didn't find anymore, that would be a titer
of 1:2. If they could dilute it a thousand times before they couldn't find
any antibody, then that would be a titer of 1:1000.
A titer test does not and cannot measure immunity, because immunity
to specific viruses is reliant not on antibodies, but on memory cells,
which we have no way to measure. Memory cells are what prompt the immune
system to create antibodies and dispatch them to an infection caused by
the virus it "remembers." Memory cells don't need "reminders" in the form
of re-vaccination to keep producing antibodies. (Science, 1999; "Immune
system's memory does not need reminders.") If the animal recently encountered
the virus, their level of antibody might be quite high, but that doesn't
mean they are more immune than an animal with a lower titer. more
THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF HOMEOPATHY
By Christina Chambreau, D.V.M.
A true understanding of homeopathy comes from understanding how an individual
becomes sick and how that individual relates to its environment.
SYMPTOMS
Homeopathy maintains that the "vital forces" of the body may be afflicted
with inherent weaknesses. Triggers, such as viruses, stress, bacteria,
and poor diet, produce in the body certain recognizable symptoms. Symptoms
are signs that the body is trying to heal itself. Treating symptoms of
an illness only hides those signs of illness for a short time; eventually,
if the illness is still present, those symptoms will reoccur. Homeopathy
endeavors to treat the entire patient, using the symptoms as clues, and
to recognize the whole patient in the context of its environment.
CHAIN OF EVENTS
When energy fields are upset, illness results and usually the
illness follows a pattern of progression. Recovery requires following that
pattern in reverse. Normal function of an individual may be impaired, inflammation
occurs, pain is sensed, and actual anatomical or physical changes take
place. Examples of these changes are bladder stones, arthritic joint changes
or thickening of organs with scar tissue.
TIME TO TREAT
The best time to intervene with remedies is when the illness is in
the energetic, functional phase. Once pathology has occurred, the holistic
practitioner must be very patient and allow time for the pathology to inflame
and then heal at the energetic level. Healing may take a time equal to
the presence of the illness.
VITAL FORCE
In the early 1800s, a German physician named Samuel Hahnemann described
what is termed the "Vital Force" of the body (called CHI by the Chinese).
Many modern physicists say that everything is energy or that everything
changes from matter to energy. Is it any wonder that energy changing medicines
such as acupuncture and homeopathy can affect cures at a more profound
level than matter-based medicine? Move that Vital Force out of balance
and diseases ensue. Different symptoms may appear in different parts of
the body. The goal of homeopathy is to treat the WHOLE individual, not
just individual symptoms.
REMEDIES
Detailed study is required to understand the interaction of specific
remedies and how they interact with each individual symptom in that particular
patient. More stress will result in more symptoms, so remedies may need
to be modified throughout recovery from an illness. Through the years remedies
have been proven to be efficacious in treating diseases that cause symptoms
that would occur if that same remedy were given to a healthy individual.
This gives rise to the saying "Like treats like". Remedies that create
certain symptoms can successfully be used to treat those symptoms that
occur due to abnormalities in the vital force.
Medicinal substances will restore the ill individual's energy balance,
causing a cure. Dr Hahnemann states: "…the stronger disease destroys the
weaker: It has a similar action, and because of its predominance, takes
over precisely those parts of the organism until then affected by the weaker
one, which since it can now no longer act, disappears".
HOMEOPATHY'S GOAL
The goal is to cure - to completely rid the body of disease such
that no symptoms of the disease ever come back, to achieve a level of wellness
such that acute injuries heal quickly with no intervention, and to acquire
and maintain a level of vitality, health, and wellness complementary to
the whole being. As Dr. Hahnemann stated "Cure, which is the elimination
of all the perceptible signs and symptoms of disease, means also the removal
of the inner modifications of the vital force which underlie them: In this
way the whole disease has been destroyed."
IN THE NEAR FUTURE CASE STUDIES WILL BE PRESENTED
Case studies based upon Dr. Chambreau's practice experience will be
displayed to show how the homeopathic approach to treating disease can
be beneficial to animal patients.

Disaster in Von Shrado Great Danes' Kennel by Sandy Hann
Read the success stories that Jim and Sandy Hann have experienced with
homeopathy for their champion dogs and for themselves "In the past 4 years,
I feel I have made a lot of progress with my dogs health. One in particular,
Ginny. Her first litter, she whelped one live puppy, one dead and then
a C-section to remove 2 dead puppies. After a lot of homeopathy
treatments, her second litter was a litter of 7 whelped normally and
her last litter, a litter of 4 sired by Fridge whelped normally. I had
bred her 2 other times to Fridge when he was alive but she did not conceive.
My Ch Betty is another. She just whelped a litter of 8 live puppies
in April. Her previous litter was another litter of 8 but 4 were born dead.
Before that she had a litter of 2. She received extensive homeopathy
treatment in between the last 2 litters and absolutely no vaccines.
She had had a Rabies Vaccine a month before being bred with the litter
with 4 dead puppies in it. You can continue

Nosodes:
An Alternative to Vaccination?
By Christie Keith
When I first started questioning vaccination, my holistic veterinarian
told me about "nosodes," homeopathically prepared medicines made from diseased
body fluids and tissues. I did some reading on them, and while there wasn't
much, what was there seemed interesting enough for me to consider using
them. Many people, when they first hear about nosodes, are very excited,
thinking that there is a way they can protect their dogs from infectious
disease without the risks of vaccines. Many holistic vets and breeders
use and recommend schedules of "vaccination" using homeopathic nosodes
mutliple times over the first few months of a puppy's life, similarly and
even more frequently than vaccination. more
Routine
Vaccination: Is it really safe and effective? Most recently,
an article appeared in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association
entitled
"Are We Vaccinating Too Much?"
Dr. Richard Pitcairn D.V.M. Ph.D:"In this
article we begin to address the subject of vaccinosis, the general name
for chronic dis-ease caused by vaccines. For some readers the very idea
that vaccines are anything but wonderful and life-saving may come as a
surprise, and it's not a very pleasant one. After all, the general population
pictures vaccines as one of modern medicine's best and brightest moments,
saving literally millions from the scourge of diseases like poliomyelitis
and smallpox. " Dr. Pitcairn DVM, Ph.D
Dr. Chambreau DVM: "Holistic veterinarians
are finding that vaccines are causing great harm to our animals (and ourselves).
To cure an animal of any problem we have found through experience that
we must use homeopathic remedies that are known to reverse vaccine related
problems as well as fit this individual." In this paper, Dr.
Chambreau DVM, offers vaccination guidelines and homemopathic prevention
schedule.
Dr. McCluggage DVM,- "...we must stop advocating
yearly vaccines because of the harm we are doing to the animals we vaccinate.
He covered the homeopathic concept of "vaccinosis". Vaccinosis is a disease
entity that may be introduced through vaccinating animals or people. Once
vaccinosis develops, there is a disturbance in the bodies vital forces
that leads to symptoms of chronic disease that can be very difficult (and
often impossible) to cure. Dr. McCluggage also stated that there are no
good reasons to recommend annual vaccinations for our companion animals.
" Dr. McCluggage DVM
Donna Starita Mehan DVM: "Routine" vaccination
has adverse side-effects, either short or long term. With vaccines that
are repeated year after year, the frequency and severity of these side-effects
in our pets has increased dramatically. Most of the problems involve the
immune system. After all, the immune system is what vaccines are designed
to stimulate. But they do so in a very unnatural way that can overwhelm
and confuse the immune system and can result in increased susceptibility
to acute infections (such as ear infections in dogs, bladder infections
in cats), chronic tapeworm problems, or in more degenerative cases, cancer."

THE VACCINATION
DILEMMA and YOUR HEALTHY COMPANIONS by Dr Charles E Loops DVM
Homeopathic veterinarians and other holistic practitioners have maintained
for some time that vaccinations do more harm than they provide benefits.
Vaccinations represent a major assault on the body's immune system. Attentuated
organisms or chemicalled killed viruses or bacteria are injected directly
into the blood stream, an unnatural route of infection. This profound insult,
avoiding the body's first line of defenses, and flooding the system with
millions of organisms or viral particles, stresses the immune system in
a way not of natures design. This insult causes irregularities and abnormalities
in the immune system which then manifests as chronic diseases in animals.
These chronic diseases range from life-threatening conditions such as
auto-immune crises to conditions destroying the quality of life of an animal
as in chronic skin allergies. What we are now seeing are generations of
over-vaccinated animals and these current offspring are suffering the penalty
of this medical abuse. In an attempt to control a naturally occurring process
of population control and survival of the fittest, the medical establishment
has convinced people that mass innoculations are for the good of all, overlooking
the health of the individual. Where vaccinations have helped in eradicating
or reducing the incidence of severe, acute disease processes, the result
has been to plague humanity with more insiduous, chronic diseases that
are much more difficult to treat and that lower the quality of life for
many individual animals and people. In all of this, there needs to be BALANCE,
and the following are my recommendations for vaccinating or not vaccinating
and some comments about diet. 1. Puppies under three months of age should
not be vaccinated. Vaccinations are much more stressful on the underdeveloped
immune system.
Also, these vaccinations are much less effective at providing immunity
before three months of age. If you feel you must vaccinate, do so with
one vaccination of Distemper at three months, followed by a vaccination
for Parvovirus at four months of age, and stop with that. If you can't
find a single Distemper vaccine use the Distemper-measles combination.
Use killed vaccines only.
2. Kittens should only be vaccinated for Panleukopenia and not before
three months of age. All other vaccinations should be avoided. One vaccine
is sufficient.
3. Puppies and kittens can be given homeopathic
nosodes beginning at three weeks of age, if there is a potential for
exposure to Distemper, Parvovirus, or Panleukopenia. These nosodes can
be used until vaccinations are given or continued periodically for the
first year of life, if vaccinations are not given. Common sense should
be used in avoiding exposure of very young animals to other, possible unhealthy,
animals of the same species.
4. Booster vaccinations are completely unnecessary. Studies are now
showing that these vaccinations are effective for many years and most probably
for life. Vaccinated animals do not need any boosters. Homeopathic nosodes
can be given periodically if you are concerned or if you think your animals
live a high risk, life style.
5. Rabies Vaccinations should be given as dictated by state laws. Lyssin,
the homeopathic nosode, should be given within a few hours after the vaccination.
Clearly, the rabies vaccination is effective for many years more than state
laws require booster vaccination.
6. Booster vaccinations can cause SEVERE set-backs when an animal is
being treated homeopathically for chronic problems. They can completely
erase any progress that has been made towards improving an animal's health.
7. My personal recommendation is NOT to vaccinate at all. The best road
to good health is feeding a diet rich in fresh foods, raw meats for the
carnivores, and avoiding vaccinations and allopathic medications. Antbiotics
and other allopathic drugs should only be used in situations where their
use is clearly indicated, and this should be only in potentially, life-threatening
situations. Every time you suppress a symptom the body produces, you are
potentially lowering the health status of the body system. Treating with
the correctly prescribed, homeopathic remedy, herbs, or other non-invasive
therapies, not of a chemical nature, will enhance your health and your
companions health.

Do you suspect your animal to be a
victim of vaccine damage?
HOMEOPATHY
CAN
MINIMIZE AND REPAIR THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY VACCINES
Homeopathy is renowned for its success to antidote or remove the toxic
effects of vaccines and to re-establish balance in health. Certain homeopathic
remedies such as thuja and
silica taken before and
after
vaccination
can protect from vaccine damage. Please consult a professional homeopath
for more information. (see list of holistic and homeopathic
veterinarians) Many families are now also using homeopathy
'nosodes'
as an alternative to vaccines for their children and their pets
Kennels in
Germany
"These 200+ dogs are given a distemper vaccine and a Parvovirus vaccine
only, at age 10 weeks and 1 year. No other vaccines are given except occasionally
rabies, when needed. Their diet varies from home-prepared to commercial.
These dogs are having litters and showing at 10 years of age, and live
to 16 or so. In the States, many Shepherds are dying by the age of 10.
Other breeders have found that stopping vaccination has made their line
much healthier, and usually immune (through good health) to the infectious
agents that usually cause disease. Not always, of course. Some dogs or
cats are very susceptible to disease and will become infected and may die.
Most survive epidemics with mild disease, if treated holistically."
Death of a horse from vaccines: a testimonial
"I havent vaccinated any of my animals in about 8 years. It all started
9 years ago when my horse had her yearly boosters and 3 days later "contracted
" pigeon fever.45 days later she died. We were very sad, as our animals
are like our children. I was convinced it was vaccinosis related. The animals
were all vaccinated prior to this event , so I felt they had plenty of
immunity.Since then I have used nosodes." Laura
SICK OF DRUGGING YOUR PET?
Dr Charles E Loops DVM - "After
10 years of traditional veterinary practice I became tired of having no
treatment for chronic disease, incurable conditions, and a plethora of
allergic maladies which seem to plague all veterinary practices. I was
frustrated with giving animals cortisone because I had no other solutions,
or using antibiotics for infections which I knew were of viral origin.
There is so much that can be done for an animal, bird, or reptile that
is ailing by utilizing homeopathic medicine."
For years dog health supplies have included toxic materials to artificially
maintain dog health as a temporary measure. The time has come to change
to a more natural approach toward animal health. Natural remedies have

health, vitality, quality and longevity of animal lives. Learn about herbal
remedies and other safe alternatives to drugs, chemo, radiation and surgery
Michael Dym, VMD - "Over the past 40 years and 17 generations
of dogs and, cats we are seeing tremendous increases in chronic ill health
in our pets that was rare back in the early 1960's. Most of these illnesses
revolve around breakdown in our pets' immune systems, and include chronic
skin/ear allergies, digestive upset, thyroid/adrenal/pancreatic disorders,
seizures, gum/ teeth problems, degenerative arthritis, kidney/liver failure,
and cancer across all ages and breeds. We are also seeing a record number
of behavioral and emotional disorders including alarming and unexplained
fears/aggression., as well as difficulty focusing/training and paying attention.
The analogy of these compared with escalating immune/behavioral diseases
in children is quite disturbing. The two biggest factors in our pets' population
health decline over these generations has been the severe overuse
of multiple vaccines and nutrient poor and toxin
filled commercial pet foods. We have also failed to address the underlying
cause of disease by only sup pressing symptoms with antibiotics,
cortisone
and related drugs, so the disease progresses and goes deeper. Homeopathy
offers a viable alternative in truly curing pets and making their bodies
healthier."
Will Falconer, DVM - "Most of the chronic diseases we commonly
see in animals (and humans) have an immune basis, e.g. diabetes, allergies,
asthma, thyroid disease, inflammatory bowel diseases, repeated ear infections,
cancer, etc. While they can be cured through the careful use of homeopathy,
the road to cure can be a long one -- often years if the animal has had
years of disease. Transfer factors can significantly shorten the course,
by giving a much needed balancing effect to the immune system. If the immune
system is overactive as in allergies, ear infections, asthma, diabetes,
or hypothyroidism, Transfer Factor can balance this overactivity so the
system is not attacking its own organs, overreacting to things that shouldn’t
be perceived as a threat. If, conversely, the immune system is under-active
as in mange, parasites, viral infections, or cancer, Transfer
Factor Plus can clearly stimulate it to better meet the challenges
it needs to be alert to." Prevaccination
Protection Dr. Falconer D.V.M. explains how to protect your animal
from vaccines damage
Sam Jones, DVM - "Two cats, both about 8 years old, had severe
diabetes. It was impossible to get the insulin requirements adjusted. They
had lost weight to a point that they were skin and bones. Both cats had
no quality of life left. After one week of being on transfer
factors; we were able to get their insulin requirements adjusted. It
is now 6 months and they have regained their weight and have a great quality
of life and health."
Just like humans, domesticated animals like dogs and cats are affected
by the health hazards of modern living. Pollution, poor nutrition, stress
and unhealthy lifestyles can lead to a variety of illnesses and conditions
that are very similar to those experienced by humans. These days, emotional
and psychological problems like depression, anxiety, ADHD and behavioral
problems are just as prevalent in pets as they are in their owners.
Similarly, physical ailments such as diabetes,
arthritis, chronic fatigue, digestive disorders, cystitis, kidney and liver
disease, skin disorders, obesity, thyroid dysfunction and other problems
are becoming more and more common in domesticated animals. Many, if not
most of these conditions can be prevented by helping your pets to live
a healthier lifestyle. For pets already suffering from existing conditions,
a combination of lifestyle changes and natural medicine can work wonders!

CHLORINATED
and FLUORIDATED WATER.... A BIG NO-NO !!! There
is a perception among many people that bottled water is somehow more healthy
or pure than water from their tap. This is simply an illusion of marketing.
A four-year study by the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC), released
in 1999, found that one-fifth of the sampled bottled waters contained known
neurotoxins and carcinogens such as styrene, toluene and xylene. Another
NRDC study found that, out of 103 brands of bottled water, one-third contained
traces of arsenic and E. coli. This means that out of a sample of 1,000
bottles sold in the U.S., at least 300 would have some level of chemical
contamination. It is well known that the average city water today contains
over 500 chemicals that do not belong in it. Part of this is due to the
fact that most delivery systems in the U.S. include cement, asbestos pipes,
cast iron, PVC (porous to certain solvents, herbicides and pesticides)
and that lead, cadmium and other toxic metals leach out of valves and couplings
of pipes between a water treatment plant and a faucet in the home. Why
Purified and Distilled Bottled Water are Bad For You and Your Animals
Safe, toxin-free,
Ionized,
Energized, Drinking Water helps to naturally flush toxins and acidic
waste from the body and is a powerful antioxidant. Ionized Water makes
more oxygen available to our cells than distilled, reverse osmosis, filtered
only, bottled or tap water and is the best possible drinking water. "Disease
and early death is more likely to be seen with the long term drinking of
purified water. Avoid it except in special circumstances." Zoltan P.

A groundswell of nutrition conscious veterinarians are beginning to
recommend to their clients that they supplement their animals diet with
a daily dose of flaxseed oil and other important nutrients.When the diets
of animals were fortified with flax, within three weeks their coats developed

testimonials about animals recovering from cancer, diabetes and other severe
degenerative illnesses with a nutritional product called Transfer Factor.
"My
colleagues and I have found this product (transfer factor) to be very effective
in modulating the immune system. Transfer factor is a "soup" of immune-modulating
factors, which contains a leukocyte-type molecule that can passively transfer
immunity from one mammal to another by stimulating cell-mediated immunity
and is antigen specific. Richard Bennett, Ph.D., an Infectious Disease
Microbiologist and Immunologist from the University of California, Davis
School of Veterinary Medicine, believes this could be the most significant
development in animal health care in decades. We have a great number of
veterinarians and clients who are experiencing very positive results in

A growing number of veterinarians state that processed pet food is
the main cause of illness and premature death in the modern dog and cat.
In December 1995, the British Journal of Small Animal Practice published
a paper contending that processed pet food supresses the immune system
and leads to liver, kidney, heart and other diseases. Dr. Kollath, of the
Karolinska Hospital in Stockholm, headed a study done on animals. When
young animals were fed cooked and processed foods they initially appeared
to be healthy. However, as the animals reached adulthood, they began to
age more quickly than normal and also developed chronic degenerative disease
symptoms. A control group of animals raised on raw foods aged less quickly
and were free of degenerative disease. For a return to health, pets require
a diet which strengthens the immune system and most closely resembles that
which they would get in the wild. It's really easy to do. Click
