DANGERS OF HEAVY METAL WATER POLLUTION IN OUR FOOD AND WATER
The Silent Killer

Many plants and animals that man uses for food contain as natural constituents chemical substances known to have toxic properties. By experimentation man has learned to avoid dangerous exposure to the natural chemical components of his foods.  Although acute poisoning is usually avoided, the public health significance associated with naturally-occurring toxicants is usually in the realm of chronic toxicity.  A number of possible cause and effect relationships of this kind exist, but usually they only point to the presence of a toxicant.  This is true because the intake is too small to cause severe effects, and because chronic effects are difficult to identify. Recognition of factors in the environment that may affect public health is basic to the eventual control of those factors.  Some naturally-occurring toxicants have already been identified and are listed under the following categories.

Antienzymes or Inhibitors

Seed proteins such as cereal grains, legumes, and oil seeds are important sources of dietary protein in many areas of the world but some of them contain enzyme inhibitors.  Perhaps the best known and most extensively studied of these toxic factors in seeds used as food are the trypsin inhibitors.  Trypsin is an enzyme involved in protein digestion and trypsin inhibitors can result in a decreased availability of protein.  However, under conditions of controlled processing the antitryptic factor in the seeds can be partially or completely altered and the nutritional value improved. Trypsin inhibitors, which for the most part are completely destroyed by heat, have been reported in wheat flour, soybeans, lima beans, mung beans, peanuts, oats, buckwheat, barley, sweet potatoes, garden peas, corn and white potatoes.    Chymotrypsin is another enzyme involved in protein digestion and a chymotrypsin inhibitor has been found in potatoes.

In the past three decades a large number and variety of synthetic chemical carcinogens have been discovered, and the increasing use of chemicals in the modern world has caused much concern about their hazard to man.  Until recently little attention has been given to the possibility that various forms of life might produce agents which give rise to tumors in other living systems.  Today we are aware of a small but increasing number of such agents.  Some of these agents could find their way into human food, and indeed this has occurred in some instances.   Aflotoxin, a type of mycotoxin, is produced by the organism, Aspergillus flavus.  The fungus usually occurs on peanuts, corn, and wheat that have been improperly stored and where the temperature and humidity favor its growth.  The carcinogenicity of aflatoxins and their sporadic occurrence in food have given rise to considerable concern.  Some toxin appears in milk from cows fed toxic meals, and trace amounts of aflatoxins have been reported in some peanut butters.  Commercial peanut butter producers carefully monitor their peanuts and have instruments that can detect aflotoxin at one-half part per billion.  Peanut oils are free of the toxin because the alkaline treatment used in processing destroys the toxins.  Toxic corn has also been reported, and in the United States there have been cases of livestock toxicity from moldy feed.


Cholinesterase Inhibitors

The cholinesterases represent a group of enzymes that are of great significance in both the physiological and economic sense. Their principal characteristic appears to be control of the conduction of nerve impulses, a function that makes them of unique importance to the lives of both higher and lower animals.  The inhibition of cholinesterases is one of man's more powerful chemical weapons against insect enemies.  Two of the general classes of synthetic organic insecticides, the organophosphates  and the carbamates, owe their effectiveness to this mechanism. Study of the chemistry and toxicology of natural cholinesterase inhibitors such as glycoalkaloids, is important, for they represent a real hazard under certain conditions.  Several instances of poisoning have been attributed to human consumption of "green" potatoes high in solanine.  The toxic properties of green potatoes is not due to the green color, however, for the greening is due to chlorophyll which often accompanies the synthesis of the toxic sub- stance solanine, a glycoalkaloid.  Glycoalkaloid synthesis increases when the tuber is exposed to stress conditions such as light, cutting, or bruising.  Potato varieties differ widely in their glycoalkaloid content and some varieties have had to be taken off the market because their glycoalkaloid content exceeded the level considered safe for human consumption; a glycoalkaloid level above 20 milligrams per 100 grams of fresh weight is considered unsafe.  The fruit of eggplant and the root and leaves of tomatoes also contain cholinesterase inhibitors.

DANGER OF VACCINATIONS

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.

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.

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 in the USA 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. Antibiotics 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 (destroy their immune 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.
 

  8. Commercial diets should be carefully chosen. Your companion is at the mercy of your good or poor judgment in selecting foods. Cats and dogs which have free access to the outside can to some degree supplement their diet. Otherwise, they are totally dependent on you. Science diets and Hill's dog and cat food products are not good diets. They use chemical preservatives that have been shown to cause problems in some animals, and they use by-products, which are words on the ingredient label that need to be avoided at all costs. This generally means food not utilized for human       consumption. If you feed a carefully selected commercial food, some supplementation with fresh food is necessary to maximize your companions' health. Raw poultry, beef, lamb, or rabbit and occasionally liver should be added to the diet at least three times per week, and fresh vegetables in small amounts should also be offered.
 

 9. The best diet is a RAW FOOD DIET and we have recipes. There are also many good books with recipes for raw diets.

HOMEOPATHIC VACCINATIONS

Spring is check-up time, the time of year to bring pooch to the vet for his annual physical. And in most veterinary offices around the country, it's time for booster shots.

The allopathic medical establishment has been teaching people for years that vaccines are the best way to protect our pets from horrible illnesses like parvo and distemper. There are now inoculations for a wide array of diseases, which further increases the pressure on pet lovers to vaccinate.

But are these annual vaccines necessary? "Not according to one of our top textbooks," says Dr. Michele Yasson, DVM, a holistic veterinarian in New York. That book, Current Veterinary Therapy XI, states the practice of annual vaccines "lacks scientific validity or verification." In general, Yasson says, vaccines are good for a lifetime. The immune system develops a "memory" from vaccines that remains for years, allowing the body to fight off infections when exposed to them.

But vaccines may not only be unnecessary: There is growing evidence that they are harmful to the health of our pets. Many of the reported side effects of vaccines, like soreness and diarrhea, typically occur in the first 48 hours after the shot is given. But more study is being done on the long-term effects. Annual vaccines have been linked to chronic, degenerative illness such as cancer, diabetes, irritable bowel disease, hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism.

Yasson notes that animals she's treated who have never been vaccinated are almost always healthier in old age than those who receive boosters every year.

"Vaccinosis" is the homeopathic term for the chronic latent diseases linked to excessive inoculation. Yasson says virtually every individual vaccinated repeatedly gets vaccinosis. "You'd have to have an exceptional immune system not to get it," she notes.

The homeopathic theory, according to Yasson, is that the vaccine is an artificially altered version of the disease. This causes the vaccine to become a chronic latent disease in the body, sort of a mini version of the disease. For example, a dog may have parvovirus from the vaccine, but the disease may not present itself with the same symptoms as parvo, like constant diarrhea. The affected dog may only get diarrhea from stress or diet changes which a healthy dog would be able to handle.

Signs of vaccinosis from the rabies vaccine are more obviously connected to the symptoms of the disease, like increased aggression or gagging while drinking.

But the symptoms of vaccinosis may also look different from the symptoms of the disease, and may present themselves as skin diseases, eye discharges and other problems not associated with specific illnesses. Common complaints include year-round shedding (dogs are only supposed to shed twice a year), oily or smelly coat, cancerous bumps, lumps, polyps and cysts. The kidneys are especially affected by vaccinosis, as are joints, tendons and ligaments, which can aggravate hip dysplasia.

The problems associated with vaccinosis unfortunately are permanent without treatment, but Yasson says discontinuing vaccinations may prevent the problems from getting worse over time.

by Robert Jordan,

Abnormal body functioning is called dis-ease.

Dis-ease is derived from two words, dis and ease.

An allergy is a red flag, the body is full of toxins.

To the body toxins in excess, always result in abnormalities.

Toxins clog cell membrane walls. Clogged cell walls are then unable to absorb enough nutrition and minerals to support normal cell, organ and body functioning. In a healthy body cell and organs are in perpetual dialog electrically and chemically. Toxins reduce and block benefits from food and nutritional supplements. This leads to anemia and lowered vitality.

Allergies, is a signal something is poisonous to the body. Body: "Hey, I’ve had it, I’m loaded up. I can’t take any more." Lab tests have shown that people with allergies are toxin dumps. Their body is loaded up with all kinds of toxins. Filled to the brim! Giving the body something against a specific allergy is equivalent to a dog chasing its tail. Is working on specific allergies barking up the wrong tree? What happens when we flush away all toxins? Laboratory test show that after toxin flushing, allergic reactions cut down drastically. Using natural toxin cleaners (free radical scavengers) is the only solution. Clean out the body and the allergies will be minimized or gone altogether. An allergic body is like a tea cup filled to the brim with toxins, the body rebels.

Why does a body form tumors? A poll of medical doctor and Vet friends agree with me that toxins are the bodies way of encapsulating diseased tissue to protect itself. Tumors are the body's defense mechanism in action. Cutting out the tumor is only a temporary solution. It doesn’t solve the real problem. What caused the tumor in the first place? Toxins! Eliminate the toxins, you eliminate the bodies need to form tumors. Why doesn’t western medicine see this?

THE STORY BEHIND THE STORY ON CANCER, TUMORS, ITCHING AND SCRATCHING, INFECTIONS, EAR MITES, FLEAS, EARLY AGING AND ALL OTHER CHRONIC AND ACUTE HEALTH PROBLEMS OCCURRING WITH PETS AND PEOPLE

As a full time homeopathic and herbal doctor for the past 30 years, I have seen a steady increase in what is a basic problem with pets and people. Toxicity of the body. I will try to answer the following questions.

What is considered toxins?

Why are bodies so toxic?

Where do toxins come from?

What is the best way to prevent toxins?

How do we get rid of toxins?

How can we help pets and ourselves prevent cancer, tumors, early aging and many diseases?

What kinds of toxins are there? First, to address every type of toxin would be impossible. I would like to place toxins under two categories and point out the destruction they do inside the body.

1. The metal poisoning types, arsenic, lead, mercury, aluminum, etc.

2. Toxin types derived from petroleum-based products, paint thinners, benzene, toluene, synthetics, and other chemicals, and electrical toxins (EMF).

Why do toxins bring anemia? Toxins coat cell walls leaving a sticky, thick, greasy, pasty glue hindering greatly vitamin, mineral and enzyme absorption and most importantly natural cell reproduction. The blocking of normal cell reproduction causes premature aging and disease. You might be giving yourself or your pet the best vitamins, enzymes and minerals available but due to toxins blocking the way it’s near impossible for any nutrient to be absorbed. This results in anemia and vitamin mineral deficiencies.

Toxin coated cell walls cause excessive dryness and moisture to body areas. This results in various skin and itch problems. This uneven water distribution within the body drastically reduces proper natural flushing action of toxins out of the body.

A healthy body with low toxins usually contains the proper balance of trace elements, minerals, and vitamins to naturally flush itself. In addition an even distribution of water in the body will result in optimum absorption of vitamins, minerals and enzymes. Cells are able to reproduce and replace themselves.

Toxins scar and burn cell walls. This damage hinders vitamins, enzymes and minerals from being absorbed. To help reverse this destruction comfrey and aloe head the top of the list.
Scientists just discovered a gene responsible for flushing out toxins from body cells. They inserted this gene into fruit flies and to their amazement found the fruit flies life span double. Could keeping the body cleansed from toxins be the key to longer life in all life forms?

Toxins are forerunners to parasites, fleas and ticks.

Nature’s pests naturally seek a run down host to ravage and plunder.

What can I do to prevent or fight off any suspected parasites, giardia, Lyme, candidiasis or organism?

The drain on the body from unwelcome invaders raises havoc to body chemistry. These predators cause the body to become even more acid than it may already be. A wonderful natural offensive would be the daily introduction of apple cider vinegar. Vinegar sweetens the body and making it less inviting to unwelcome pests. Example. When you pour a little apple cider vinegar in a greasy pan the fat is immediately dissolved into a suspension. A similar action happens to body toxins and blocked up waste in the body. This dissolving action is one of the best toxin flushers.

Grandma’s old-time recipe. Sweeten the body. A number one acid neutralizer. With pets start with one drop in their drinking water and double it each day. In this way they will get used to the strong taste and learn to like it. Work up to about a 1/2 ounce daily for medium-sized dog. Smaller animals, use 1/4 ounce daily. This natural approach is the first step in helping the body flush away toxins. Parasites, bacteria and viruses do not to thrive well in low acid bodies. A few drops of vinegar in your pets drinking water will also help bring a glossy coat. Vinegar is also helpful to help the body fight arthritis and dissolve inorganic calcium in the joints.

Hair analysis has shown that whenever toxins are present there are abnormally high levels of parasites, candidia, viruses and retroviruses. In many cases Lyme is present. From Massachusetts to California and out as far as Japan we tests have found Lyme viruses showing up whenever parasites are present. We believe there is a connection between parasites, bacteria and viruses. Maybe they party together! Lab tests shows a variety of viruses, retroviruses, neuter-viruses, candidia, and Lyme present when parasites are found.

Body pollution and its myriad of destructive entities bring on many health problems. A lot of pets have chronic ear infections, mites, itch, flea and tick problems. Often that nasty little parasite Giardia is also present. The energy draining Lyme and Candidia virus counts climb. Bacteria counts rise, infections manifest, wounds heal slowly, there may be oozing or runny eyes and sores. Itching and scratching, (a sign the body is working at eliminating toxins). Boils, tumors, loss of hair and skin problems are a red flag to high toxin levels.

Given the opportunity "Mother Nature" will jump at the chance to heal herself. Why not use the bodies own defense mechanism? Isn’t that what a vaccine does! Homeopathic medicine accomplishes the same thing, only in smaller non-toxic doses. You can’t fight "Mother Nature" but you can help her. My grandmother said: "For every disease brought on to man or beast, Mother Nature holds the cure." Supply the body with the best toxin flushers, throw in enough easily assimilated food source vitamins, select the appropriate minerals and the body will jump at the chance to heal itself. This is the only way to achieve robust heath.

Vitamins, supplements including all-natural vitamins and supplements?

Who is to say our bodies are absorbing those expensive pills and capsules we gulp down by the handful? Tests have shown that most vitamins pass through the body without being dissolved. Public toilet cleaning companies report mounds of vitamins left behind after cleaning and sanitizing. They even report that the many pills still show the manufacturer's trademark. Disgusting and enlightening, I hope. Are you or your pet paying for something your body isn’t absorbing?

Let me continue. There is bigger problem with all vitamins, herbs, pills and capsules. What about the manufacturing process used to create these products? How toxic is the binder? All pills have binder products to hold them together. Plus what chemicals are used in the manufacture process? Weekly I receive vitamins, natural vitamins, pet food, water samples, to test for toxins and heavy metals. People are amazed at the high levels of toxins (aluminum, arsenic, mercury, lead, chemicals, etc.) found in their samples.

Thirty five patients of mine are heavily involved in multi-level natural vitamin marketing groups. They all ask me the same question. "Why are the products I sell not giving me the same energy boost they once did?" Their hair analysis shows high levels of mercury, lead, aluminum, paint thinner, touloul, benzene, formaldehyde and dozens of other lethal carcinogenics. Needless to say they are amazed. Six months on a cleanse, repair, vitamin, mineral and trace mineral program they all report more energy then they had in years, require less sleep, feel better, and friends keep telling them how good they look. Again could it be toxins?

I advise my patients that the least processed (steps) a food or supplement has gone through the better. Organically grown, freshly picked, eaten as close too its raw as possible is always best.

Have you used that dried soup mix? Does it have an aluminum lining inside the bag?. Oh, you might say it has a plastic coating! Lab tests have shown aluminum lined containers coated with plastic is no barrier from preventing this debilitating poison from leaching into our food.

Do you buy that all natural top brand toothpaste? Take a close look and see if it doesn’t have aluminum in the cap?

Aluminum, according to the AMA (American Medical Association) is one of the principle causes of Alzheimer’s Disease. Aluminum is well known amongst European health practitioners, to cause dementia, brain and mental problems. This occurs with animals as well.

Itching, skin conditions, tumors, cancer are signs of toxins. It’s a sign the body is trying to pass out toxins away from vital organs. Clean out toxins and you get rid of the problem. Doctors agree and it makes sense. Nature has the materials to clear away toxins and keep them flushed out. It’s now up to you and your pet.

Are used many times for many different illness/disease, the reason for using them is to reduce inflammation and swelling only, they do not heal the animal. They work by suppressing the body's immune systemn not healing the body of the disease or illnes! Inflammation and swelling are a normal part of the body's immune response.
Steroids do not cure anything, they only suppress the symptoms and drive them deeper within the system.

John Mills, former professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco and chief of infectious diseases at San Francisco General Hospital. Says . Doctors tell you that steroids only cause side effects after many years. But new research shows that permanent damage is immediate and devastating.
Steroids are fast catching up with antibiotics as the most abused class of drugs in your doctor's black bag.
There's no doubt that the discovery of steroids a half century ago was a major advance in medicine-a life-saver for those like the late President John F Kennedy, who suffered from Addison's disease, a disease of the adrenal glands causing insufficient hormone production.
Steroids mimic the action of the adrenal glands, the body's most powerful regulator of general metabolism. John Stirling, director of the vitamin company Biocare, credits a very short course (three injections) of steroids with jump-starting his failing adrenal system after anaphylactic shock and saving his life. The problem is, like antibiotics, steroids appear to be a miracle 'cure'.

Patients with crippling arthritis or asthma seem to be instantly better on steroids.The wheeze, the swelling, the pain go away.  So doctors turn to steroids as the first, rather than last, line of attack for their anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects.

But we do know that steroids are known to damage kidneys. We also know, from the drug manufacturers' own data sheets, that steroids can cause liver damage, brittle bones, diabetes, adrenal insufficiency, an inability to deal with stress, and damage to the immune system. "

As with antibiotics, what was once reserved for the extreme emergency is now being used on the most trivial of conditions. Steroids are now handed out as readily as antibiotics, even to babies, at the first sign of inflammation of any sort. The latest drug set to replace gripe water for babies with croup is a steroid (budesonide); hydrocortisone is included in the latest over-the-counter medication for piles. Steroids make up many OTC skin drugs, and are considered the drug of choice for asthma, eczema, arthritis, back problems, bowel problems like ulcerative colitis-indeed, for any and all inflammations or allergic reactions-and new uses are still being invented. The sole exceptions Addison's Disease, where steroids act as a replacement therapy of cortisone, much as insulin is given to diabetics.

Far from being a wonder drug 'cure all', steroids cannot cure one single condition. All they do is suppress your body's ability to express a normal response. In a few instances, this type of suppression will give the body a chance to heal itself. But more often, the effect is immediate, devastating and permanent damage. And we are only now realizing just how quickly damage can occur. Despite what doctors say, that steroids only have side effects after many years of use, there is no such thing as a safe dose.
Studies show that steroids cause permanent, debilitating effects after a single dosage. 'Steroids are probably the most sleazy of modern day medications,'

Does it harm my Dog ?
You should always remember that Heartworm Medications, no matter what kind you use, are drug with possible side effect. We will discuss the drugs in Heartguard, Intercepter, Sentinel, and what you can do to minimize the side effect.
Type of Drugs Milbemycin is the active ingredient in Intercepter, which is marketed by Novartis Animal Health. Novartis came up with Program for flea problem.
Program uses Lufenuron as active ingredients. Later, the same company introduce Sentinel, which combine the Milbemycin and Lufenyron together.
Heartguard-30 is an Ivermectin-based drug.

Checked with USDA's data, there are many possible side effects listed for these drugs. The major side effects are depression, lethargy, vomiting, convulsions, anorexia, ataxia, elu-species (in cat), hyperactivity, even death. There are long list of minor (less occurring) side effects. These include shaking, eye problem, slow heart action, tilting of head.

Alternative Approach of Heartworm Medicine, there are a number of natural remedies, many use Homeopathic Heartworm Nosode as a preventive and used as a treatment also without any harmful effects. You can give your pet herb called Milk Thristle as a liver tonic for repair damage to liver if you have been using the chemical drug, and has been used by many pet owners with success. Some pet owners use a herb like Black Walnut liquid in replace to heartworm drug, this is also very effective and inexpensive. Herbs are always added to daily meals once a week.

You can also give Homeopath remedy called Thuja 30C after an injection.
It has been used in Europe, Australia, to lessen the toxic effect of vaccination.
The importance of strong immune system cannot be forgotten, and all drugs serve to weaken the immune system dramatically..Strong immune system cannot be built in few days. It is a result of everyday good care of natural diet and avioding toxic drugs

Diarrhoea, abdominal pain, severe inflammation of the colon (colitis), irritable bowel syndrome, skin problems, fever, elevated white blood cell count, weak immune system, vomiting, dehydration, potassium deficiencies, allergies, colon perforation, bad breath, excess stomach gas, yeast problems, nutritional deficiencies and constipation are just some of the many side effects and problems linked to antibiotics.

In 1928, when Alexander Glemming discovered antibiotics, everyone was raving at this incredible breakthrough in medicine. However, over the years, this breakthrough which was heralded with curing disease is now creating disease and problems of its own.

 Bacteria now has built resistance to many antibiotics. Hence, stronger and stronger antibiotics are needed to do the job and if weaker antibiotics create problems, can you imagine what more powerful antibiotics will do?

 It's a vicious circle because ultimately bacteria will build resistance to the new and more powerful antibiotics too!  New forms of bacteria and disease are being created. These new problems are very dangerous and the flesh eating disease is the best example of antibiotic resistant bacteria.

 Antibiotics literally means against life (anti = against and biotic = life). In a healthy body, there is both good and bad bacteria in the intestinal tract. There should be about 80% good bacteria and about 20% bad bacteria.

 When antibiotics are used, both good and bad bacteria are destroyed in the intestinal tract. Once the antibiotics are stopped, the bad bacteria grows back first and faster. The result is a very unhealthy and weak body with no friendly bacteria.

 It takes on average 1 year to recover from antibiotics if you are feeding good food and supplementing with friendly bacteria. If the diet you are feeding is bad, then your pet will take even longer to recover and may never fully recover.

 The funny thing is that antibiotics relieve symptomatic problems. But after the antibiotics are stopped, the symptoms come back. So what happens now? They give more antibiotics.

 What's ironic is that antibiotics are then given to help combat the problems that the antibiotics created in the body.

 Antibiotics are definitely over prescribed and over used. Antibiotics for example do nothing for a virus and yet are often administered anyway.

 Hopefully soon, common sense will prevail and medical practitioners will realise what is happening. But, it is up to you, the people to put pressures on vets to become more careful about their practice of administering antibiotics.

 In fact, encourage your vets to learn the alternatives. Make them aware that there are side effects that can no longer ignored.
 

 Before antibiotics, what did people do?

 In World War 1, medics put garlic cloves, which have long been acclaimed for their natural antibiotic properties, in the wounds of soldiers. Some use bee propolis which has natural phagocystosis properties. Phagocystosis is the ability to encourage white blood cells to destroy bacteria.

 There are certainly many other natural antibiotics which have no side effects (except bad breath in garlic's case). In general, natural antibiotics only attack bad bacteria and leave the friendly bacteria alone.

 Become aware that although antibiotics have helped save many lives, they are not a cure by any means.

 Conclusion  - The body should have 80% friendly bacteria and about 20% bad bacteria inside the intestinal tract. After the use of antibiotics, the body will have no more than 20% friendly bacteria and 80% bad bacteria if not more.

 -Most illness, disease and problems begin in the intestinal tract.  Thus, antibiotics create the potential for serious illness to begin.

 - You may not be giving your pet antibiotics, but if it has ever eaten foods with preservatives, you have been giving your pet what I call 'hidden antibiotics'. The job of preservatives is to control bacteria and once your pet eats food with preservatives, it will ultimately have an effect inside the intestinal tract too and kill the friendly bacteria.

 - You should expect it will take at the very least 1 year to recolonise the intestinal tract with friendly bacteria after  the use of antibiotics.

 - Recolonise the intestinal tract with friendly bacteria by using supplements and feeding natural foods. Written by Jesse Dallas.

 Note:
 Feeding your animal a diet of raw food (meat, fish, nuts, fruits, grains and vegetables) will provide ample supply of friendly bacteria. I noticed that dogs are fond of rotten food items from compost piles. The reason is probably because rotten food are rich in friendly bacteria. The worst it smells, the better she seems to enjoy eating it. To an animal, spoiled veggies may be similar to what yogurt is to humans.

When your pet is sick, has parasites or in pain, there has been a weakening of his protective electromagnetic field. To regain good health, be free of parasites and to relieve pain, you must use therapies that strengthen the protective electromagnetic field of your pet if you want to affect a cure. Pain is the body’s scream for energy. The right energy. One form of energy therapy is homeopathy.

WHAT IS HOMEOPATHY?

Homeopathy is a system of medical therapy that uses very small doses of medicines or remedies. These remedies are prepared from substances found in nature. They are of animal, vegetable and mineral sources. One chooses the proper medicine by following a special rule of nature--this is called the "Law of Similars." This law says that "likes cure likes." Thus a medicine can cure a sick person or animal only if it can cause a similar sickness in a healthy person or animal.

An example would be skin eruptions caused by contact with poison oak can be cured by taking a homeopathic remedy made from the poison oak plant, (Rhus Toxicodendron) i.e. similar cures similar. Going further, any skin dermatitis that resembles poison oak reaction will respond to the same homeopathy Rhus Toxicodendron, no matter what is the cause. This basic tenet of homeopathy is true for man, animal or fowl as these remedies will respond and work in all species--even fish.

The use of homeopathy within the animal kingdom is almost the same as it is used in man as all the recorded observations have been done using healthy humans. In humans, homeopathy works on all levels- the mind, emotions and physical levels. It works as such on our animals as well, but due to a lack of verbal subjective feedback we must train ourselves to be astute observers as it is only through accurate observation and interpretation can we determine the causes and or proper symptoms in which we must base our remedy selection.

The world homeopathy is derived from the Greek words homeos meaning "similar" and pathos meaning "suffering." Thus homeopathy means to "treat with a remedy that produces an effect similar to the suffering."

"Homeopathy does not merely remove disease from an organism; it strengthens and harmonizes the very source of life and creativity in the individual."

------- George Vithoulkas

History of Homeopathy

While many alternative and complementary therapies originated in Eastern cultures, homeopathy is of Western Origin. Hippocrates (460-370 BC) had a negative attitude toward potent drugs. Paracelsus (1493-1541), a Swiss alchemist and physician, averred similia similibus curantur (like cures like) that disease should be treated with small doses of drugs, which, in large doses, would cause symptoms similar to those of disease.

In 1795, Samuel Christian Hahnemann (1755-1843), a German physician, re-enunciated the theory like cures like. He coined the term homeopathy and allopathy. He is considered the "Father" of Homeopathy for he spent years cataloging and repertorizing many of the homeopathy remedies we have today, using himself and others as guinea pigs. He thought highly of veterinary surgeons in their skills based on experience and more success than "learned professors and members of the academics".

By 1900, about 20 percent of the physicians in the United States were homeopaths, but due to various cultural and social changes, homeopathy has become relatively unknown in this country. There is wider acceptance in such countries as France, Germany, South America, India and Great Britain. Queen Elizabeth's family physician is a homeopath and she allows only homeopathy to be used on her horses.

The use and acceptance of homeopathy in Veterinary Medicine has fairly paralleled that of physicians It is widely used in these same countries and today more veterinarians in the United States are discovering the effective, gentle, non-toxic way that Homeopathy cures animal's illnesses.

WHAT ARE HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES?

Any plant, mineral or animal substance can be used as a remedy. The original substance is diluted in alcohol, either 1:10 or 1:100 and then each dilution are forcefully shaken. This step is then repeated for up to 100 million times if a remedy of this high potency is required. The potency indicates the number of times the remedy has been diluted and each dilution increases the strength of the remedy-- this may be due to diluting out inhibitors as well as changing the molecular structure.

The strength or potency is measured by an "X", or "D" in Germany which is a ten-fold dilution i.e., 6x, or D6 is a one to one million dilution) or by a "C" which is a 100-fold dilution (3 C is a one to one million dilution). Homeopathy works on the Vital Force or Chi by fine- tuning the essential balance of the vital force to bring about patterns of energy similar to those of the disease state but focused in a way, which restores the body's equilibrium and thus affects a cure or health. In comparison, most conventional medicines act by suppressing a part of the body's system rather than focusing on the CAUSE of the energy imbalance and thus are crude and have the potential for side effects and toxicities.

Homeopathy treats the patient rather than the disease. Homeopathy remedies are chosen to fit all the symptoms of body, mind and spirit being expressed, rather than the disease diagnosis. This is true in animals too. It goes beyond the physical into the energetic expression of the total being. Having practiced EAV with the energy-reading machine, the Dermatron, I was able to see the energy matches of specific homeopathy remedies to that of the energy- disturbed organs of my animal patients.

It was these "energy matches" that were used to cure the animals of their ailments. Disturbed energy within the weakened protective electromagnetic field (EMF) allows the energy fields of parasites (bacteria, virus, fungi, worms and ectoparasites, and cancer cells) to enter and find fertile ground for reproduction. It is this that produces disease. It is the right energy fields that must be administered to the sick patient (man or animal) to strengthen his EMF. Once strong, the energy environment makes it impossible for the parasites to live and they disappear.

I have used homeopathy to treat every imaginable illness in an animal presented to me. In the majority of cases I have been successful; the failures represented animals whose immune systems were so destroyed by steroids drugs and radiation, that the homeopathy was ineffective. For homeopathy like acupuncture, to be successful, it must work in concert with a functional immune system.

WILL HOMEOPATHY INTERFERE WITH OTHER DRUG THERAPIES?

No, but you may find the homeopathy remedies do not work as well if at the same time drugs, pesticides, cortisone and other immune depressive chemicals are being used.

CAN HOMEOPATHY BE USED ON ANY SPECIE ANIMAL?

Yes, and I have used homeopathy on dogs, cats, birds, lizards, horses, goats, calves and most recently on a python who was suffering an infection of the urinary bladder. My Custom Homeopathic Formula for Cystitis cleared up her problem. Her owner sent me the nicest email with thanks from him and "Peaches".

ARE THERE ANY PRECAUTIONS WHEN TAKING HOMEOPATHY?

Because homeopathy is energy medicine, the majority of which potencies are beyond Avogadro’s number; it is unlike taking a substance medication. It is a very fragile, but powerful energy therapy. The fragility of its essence is overcome and rendered neutral in affects by other strong substances exposure: like most herbs, garlic, onions, camphor, perfumes, strong smelling soaps and hand lotions.

Care must be taken when taking homeopathy and eating; homeopathy remedies should be taken no less than ½ hour before and 1 hour after eating. Remedy tablets should be handled as little as possible for maximum affect. The amount of homeopathy in tablets, or drops do not dictate amount of affect, it is the potency (the number of dilutions and succussions) and the frequency of taking the remedy that matters. There is as much affect of taking two drops of a homeopathy remedy as there is in a bathtub full of the same remedy.

ARE THERE OTHER FORMS OF HOMEOPATHY PRACTICED?

Homeopathy, the Law of Similars, is basic to all other variations on the original classical form of single remedies laid down by Hahnemann. Today homeopaths may use combination remedies, nosodes (homeopathy made from actual causative agents of specific chemicals, bacteria, viruses, fungi, vaccinations, etc. as detected by the use of EAV, and an electronic machine that reads the energy fields that normalize the imbalanced reading of the actual organs via their acupuncture points), high potency, or low potency remedies. I have found that in the hands of a skilled homeopath, all forms work.

I see a bright future for homeopathy in eugenic treatment, treating animals in utero. Homeopathy lessens genetic tendency toward disease and by strengthening the breeding stock, "super babies" are produced. It was that way in EAV in Germany with Dr. Voll’s human patients, and on a limited scale with my animal patients.

Imagine, when breeding animals are cured by homeopathic treatment, their offspring (at least second or third generations) may not be susceptible to breed problems such as hip dysplasia, wobbler, bloat, colic, interdigital pyoderma, elongated soft palates and hypothyroidism.

I will tell you a story of two cats to illustrate this point. Two girl roommates each owned a cat, one male and one female. Both cats were ill with Feline Leukemia and were brought for treatment. After months of detoxification with homeopathic nosodes and treatment with a series of progressively higher potencies of a homeopathy that I made from their own blood containing the Feline Leukemia Virus, I was able to completely cleanse all their organ systems, and strengthen their immune systems so that they became negative for Feline Leukemia. Consequently the two cats felt so good, they bred and had five lovely kittens. These kittens were robust, healthy and feline leukemia negative. They were my "super babies".

VACCINATION WITH HOMEOPATHIC NOSODES

I am often asked my philosophy of vaccination in animals. Having experienced the ravages of drug vaccinations in my own horses, cats and dogs, I have been using the homeopathic nosode form of vaccines in all my animals for the past 20 years and would never go back to drug vaccinations.

I have seen German Shepherds become paralyzed from receiving a drug Rabies vaccination, horses go into colic from their combination yearly boosters, cats develop the disease of Feline Leukemia from a vaccination carrying the attenuated virus, and hundreds of ill animals with wide ranges of organ dysfunction, chronic skin problems, cancerous growths developing at the site of the inoculation, immune depression diseases, allergies, failed kidney and heart condition due to the contributing pathology of their accumulated vaccinations over the years.

I know this because of my experience using the EAV method of diagnosis and the energy-reading machine, The Dermatron. It was only after complete cleansing of each animal’s toxic state of chemicals AND vaccines, that it was able to recover. Many times, just removing the noxious affects of the vaccinations produced a remarkable improvement.

Rabies vaccine of any kind has been absolutely devastating, ranging from paralysis to deranged Central Nervous System symptoms. Some animals would chase imaginary objects in the air, snapping their jaws rythmatically in the air at nothing, or suddenly a loving animal has a personality change to a snarling beast and attacks members of the household. With EAV I found ALL readings of the organ systems and nervous system would not return to normal until all of the rabies vaccinations in that animal were removed.

I have found Rabies, Canine Distemper, and Aluminum (both as part of the vaccine ingredient, but as a pollutant in the food chain and water) to be a causative factor of skin problems, endocrine and digestion deficiencies, allergies, toxicities of the liver, kidney and heart with resulting failure of these organs. I have found cysts and tumors produced in the ovary and pancreas with resulting extreme abdominal pain and insulin coma in the latter. This widespread involvement of the body’s pathology is not surprising since all three go to the brain and nervous system that touches every organ in the body.

I have written an entire newsletter on "Vaccinosis". Vaccinosis means vaccination –induced diseases. This happens in animals, and infants too. Our government has a secret fund to pay off litigation from parents whose children were killed or maimed by vaccination. The government had paid out 522 million dollars of the taxpayers’ money by Feb. 3, 1995 and estimates for future liability in the billions. You can read about this at www.Thinktwice.com.

Also in read more information at http://www.csprosystems.com/VaccinationInfoPg.html

In 1999, the mandatory vaccination of children is 13 different vaccine entities before the age of 6 months! Besides the overwhelming of the body with too many multiple viruses and bacteria that must produce an illness to produce an immunity, there are the health damages of the preservatives: mercury, aluminum, and formaldehyde; very toxic substances in even miniscule amounts, (.05 parts per million for mercury). Check out Gary Null’s website on vaccine injury and immunization risks at www.garynull.com All that I’ve said for children vaccination risks apply to the animals too.

In this country the preferred procedure has been starting at 3 months of age, a kitten or puppy starts a series of six valent modified live vaccination 2-3 weeks apart until 6 months old and then boostered within 6 months and yearly thereafter. For the puppy this is Canine Distemper, Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, Corona, Parvo and Kennel Cough all in one vaccine! For the kitten, this is Feline Distemper, Rhinotracheitis, Feline Infectious Peritonitis and Feline Leukemia.

The first three are in one vaccine with the Leukemia separate. Rabies vaccine had been with a modified live virus (still preferred by health care individuals) but lately killed Rabies is also available. This is given at 4 months then at one year old, in California this is boostered every three years thereafter. Rabies inoculations are mandated by public health. Only killed Rabies vaccine is allowed in cats for modified live Rabies produces the disease in the cat. Now there are many, many things wrong with this vaccination program:

1. Research has proven that vaccines containing more than two viruses and/or bacteria overwhelm the animal’s immune system with little or no antibodies being formed for proper protection.
2. Periods between vaccinations must be no less than 6 weeks for the immune stimulating process to recover in order to respond properly to the next vaccination.
3. Research has proven that some (such as Canine Hepatitis and Leptospirosis) requires only one vaccination to give a lifetime immunity. There is no need to booster yearly.

Researchers and many practitioners have seen the dangers of the Feline Leukemia Vaccine actually producing the disease! So this brings up the question of the merits of giving it at all. It would be so much better to build a strong life force in the animal or use the homeopathic form for prevention.

Homeopathy vaccines can be used as treatment or prevention of the targeted disease entity. I have used the Parvo Homeopathic Vaccine Nosode to treat the disease caused by the Parvo virus as well as using it to prevent the disease.

To help you with any emergency you may experience with your animal, I have developed a line of Animal First Aid Kits, both the Deluxe size and trail bags containing all natural contents, the majority being homeopathy, with illustrative handbook of instructions.

There is no hard research in nosodal vaccination but there are some holistic vets who use it on their own animals, and in Europe this is an accepted procedure. Dr. MacLeod’s books on homeopathy for animals espouse it.

Because I believe in the health risks of drug vaccines so strongly I have made and offer all of these vaccines for dogs, cats, and horses available for your use either as:

1. a method of detoxifying the drug vaccination by following the inoculation with the homoeopathic form of the vaccine.
2. or as a means of preventing the diseases. I’ve even made a nosode of the Aid’s virus for cats and Lyme’s disease (due to the spirochete bacteria, borellia) for your animal’s protection.

This is a subject I have researched in depth - the results of this research are
carried in the book, 'What Vets Don't Tell You About Vaccines'.
Before I start, I want to make one thing totally clear. I am not asking you
to stop vaccinating your beloved animals. I don't believe that any human
being has the right to dictate that sort of thing to another human being.
However, I do believe that you have a right to the facts so that you can
make an informed choice.
The first fact is this:
Annual vaccination is fraud. Strong stuff, eh? There is absolutely no
scientific basis for annual vaccination. It was just a practice that was
started many years ago, probably because the shots weren't working and
someone had the bright idea to keep repeating it in case it helped. In
fact, we have discovered that, far from helping, annual vaccination is
destroying our animals' immune systems. This is widely known in scientific
circles - but vets are reluctant to look at the evidence too closely due to
potential lost booster income. I am sorry to say this but long years of
campaigning allow me to develop no other conclusion. The vets who have read
my book they take it very seriously. However, most refuse to read it.

"Once immunity to a virus exists, it persists for years or life." - Dr
Ronald D Schultz, head of pathobiology at Wisconsin University.
My own six-year-old Golden Retriever - Gwinnie - gives a good example of
this. Gwinnie was vaccinated ONLY as a puppy. We got her when she was five
months old, already vaccinated. She was never vaccinated again. Last year,
at the age of six, Gwinnie had a blood test and this revealed that she still
has high antibody levels to distemper and parvo. The advice from Professor
Hal Thomson at Glasgow University was "no need to revaccinate". After SIX
years.
Dr Jean Dodds in America has just completed a study that shows much the same
thing. You don't NEED to keep vaccinating your dogs.
There is one exception, and this is the leptospirosis component of the
vaccine. Lepto is a bacterin, not a virus, and you can't get permanent
immunity to a bacterin. However, the vaccine has been described as
'useless' and there have been many calls for it to be withdrawn from the
market. There are hundreds of strains of leptospirosis, but only two in the
vaccine, AND it provides immunity (if at all) for only between three and six
months. This means that your dog is probably unprotected against the two
strains for around nine months of the year, and against all the other
hundreds of strains for ever. Australian research shows that the lepto
component of vaccines can cause horrendous side-effects, so top veterinary
immunologists, microbiologists and pathobiologists have advised we don't use
it.
Fact two:
Vaccines can cause a whole range of diseases.
Skin problems: Frick and Brooks, in 1983, showed that dogs who were
genetically susceptible to develop atopic dermatitis ONLY contracted the
condition IF they were vaccinated before being exposed to an allergen. So -
vaccines trigger skin disease.
Arthritis: there are many, many studies which show that vaccines can cause
arthritis. Vaccine components have even been found in the bones of
arthritis sufferers.
Cancer: Vaccine components have been found at the cancer sites of victims.
Worse, they have been found at the cancer sites of the CHILDREN of the
people who received the guilty vaccine. In other words, vaccines can cause
inheritable cancer.
Leukaemia: Dr Jean Dodds has linked leukaemia to vaccines. Also, Merck, a
vaccine manufacturer, has linked leukaemia to a leukaemia-like retrovirus
found in birds. Merck were investigating the link between this retrovirus
and the eggs they cultivated the measles vaccine on. Distemper and measles
are virtually the same virus, and both vaccines are cultivated on chick
embryos.
Aggression: Vaccines are acknowledged to cause inflammation of the brain
and, in severe cases, lesions in the brain and throughout the central
nervous system. This condition, known as encephalitis, lies at the root of
much aggressive and violent behaviour, autism, epilepsy, attention deficit
disorder, and other neurological conditions (for example, CDRM, Ataxia,
etc).
Autoimmune disease: It is widely acknowledged that vaccines can cause a
whole range of autoimmune diseases, such as Cushings disease, Addisons
disease, thyroid disease, autoimmune haemolytic anaemia, and many others.
The scientific evidence is there for anyone who wants to look at it.
Dr Larry Glickman at Purdue University has found that routinely vaccinated
dogs develop autoantibodies to a wide range of their own biochemicals. This
means that vaccines cause dogs to attack their own bodies - which is what
autoimmune disease is all about.
Fact three: Some animals are genetically pre-disposed to suffer fatal
reactions to vaccines, or to develop vaccine-induced disease.
The Merck Manual (the doctor's bible, published by a vaccine manufacturer)
says that children with B and/or T cell immunodeficiencies should not
receive live virus vaccines as the vaccine can stimulate a severe or FATAL
infection. Not to put too fine a point on it, 'fatal' means death.
Merck explains that features of B and T cell immunodeficiencies include
eczema, dermatitis, heart disease, inhalant allergies, food allergies and
neurological conditions. They say that humans suffering with any of these
conditions, or from families with these conditions, should not receive live
virus vaccines because the vaccine can kill them.
Our dogs also have B and T cells, and B and T cell immunodeficiencies. So
if your dog has allergies, or heart problems, or neurological problems . . .
vaccines represent a life threatening risk.
Fact four: Vaccines cause more diseases than they prevent.
This is the one the scientists are currently arguing about. You can
probably guess which way I've fallen on the debate. In my humble opinion,
vaccination is probably the worst thing we can do for someone we love.
Obviously, this is a scarey statement.
Let me tell you a little about why I'm here saying this to you.
Oliver, a beautiful Golden Retriever, lost the use of his back legs one day
when he was four years old. We rushed him to the vet but he was dead by
four that afternoon. For two years, I asked every vet I met 'why?' No one
could tell me until I met a homoeopathic vet called Chris Day, and he asked
me when Ollie had last been vaccinated. He told me it was a classic vaccine
reaction, falling within three months of the shot. Since then I have met
many people whose dogs died in exactly the same way.
Prudence, another Golden Retriever, died of leukaemia when she was six. The
last time I vaccinated her, her eyes rolled in her sockets, and she climbed
up on my back, begging me not to have it done. But we carried on because I
thought it was good for her. Distemper and parvo are horrible diseases, of
course - but so is leukaemia. You don't want to see a dog die this way.
Samson's back legs were paralysed the day after his second puppy shot. I
thought maybe someone had put poison down because I didn't know vaccines
could do this. The next year he was boosted, and his head swelled up like a
football and he ran around screaming - I now know that this was a massive
allergic reaction to the vaccine. At the age of two we had a blood test
done, and it came back autoimmune disease. He died of cancer at the age of
five. Having studied the scientific evidence, I know that Sammie was killed
the day a vaccine destroyed his immune system.
Edward and Daniel are three-year-old Golden Retrievers. Neither has ever
been vaccinated. Not once. They are the healthiest two Goldens I have ever
had the privilege to share my life with. No sickness, no diarrhoea, no
allergies, no illness. The vet doesn't know who they are - they have only
ever visted to have their blood tested (both have antibodies to distemper
and parvo . . . which means they've met the diseases but not succumbed).
They also went to the vets a few weeks ago to have ticks removed. The vet
remarked on how fit and healthy they were. But that's it - their entire
veterinary history at the age of three. Compare this with Samson's
veterinary history! I was literally at the vet every two weeks with Sammie.
Edward and Daniel are fed real food - raw meaty bones, vegetables, etc.
This means that they have optimal immune systems, so they are in a good
position to fight any viruses or bacterins that come along. They also
receive the homoeopathic vaccine alternative. When they were nine months
old, my older vaccinated dogs contracted kennel cough. My two
homoeopathically protected pups didn't cough once.
A few days ago on the CHC discussion list, one of our members reported
meeting two 17 year old Golden Retrievers on the beach. Both ran and jumped
around like young ones. The owner told her that they had never been
vaccinated and, as he was a butcher, he had fed them raw meat.
Seven years into the campaign, we are beginning to see the results of not
vaccinating and feeding real food. Canine Health Concern members are now
constantly reporting that their dogs are incredibly healthy, and those who
show are winning at all the shows.
Don't blame the 'irresponsible breeders' - blame vaccines. Without
vaccines, you too can hope for long-lived friends who get through their
lives without the crippling debilitating diseases that have become common in
the dog population.
One last fact: Vaccines don't offer GUARANTEED immunity. Nearly all of the
dogs in the CHC vaccine survey - which involved over 4,000 dogs and is still
ongoing - contracted distemper, parvo, lepto, hepatitis, etc, within three
months of being vaccinated.
I am going to be away on Monday and Tuesday, so shall answer any questions
on Wednesday. Please give your post the 'Vaccinations' heading so I can
plough through incoming e-mails as quickly as possible.
I know that this post is going to unsettle and disturb many list members and
I apologise for this. My motivation is that you don't have to sit and watch
your beloved friends die years before their time, or suffer from any of the
many vaccine-induced diseases. We are making a terrible mistake on behalf
of our animal friends. What we think is best for them is in fact the worst
thing we can do. I am not alone in saying this - the very top veterinary
specialists agree. We just need to get the other vets up to date. CHC
members and people like your own beloved Bonnie are doing this through
example. I promise you this - annual vaccination is coming to an end. We
will look back in horror at what we used to do.
