Still Vaccinating Your Pet Every Year#android#iPad#retweet

Titer tests are a fabulous option for pet owners.  

A simple blood test.  No risk of an adverse vaccine reaction or over vaccinating, let alone the stress that pets incur during a vaccination.

Some vaccines can last up to the life of the pet.  

If your vet charges in the hundreds for a titer test, then keep looking.  I have seen prices in the $30. to $50. range.

It would make sense for city and state licensing offices to accept verification of titer antibodies in replacement of annual rabies shots.

Our towns are better off with healthy, happy pets.

…Side effects from vaccinations range from mild itching and swelling to anaphylactic shock leading to death. Cats may develop vaccine sarcomas, which are cancers that develop at the site of the injection. And dogs may develop certain autoimmune diseases.

Veterinarians have suspected for years that annual vaccinations for cats and dogs aren’t necessary, but large, well-controlled studies just didn’t exist to prove it one way or the other. With the exception of rabies vaccine, the U.S. Department of Agriculture doesn’t require data beyond one year for any vaccine.

With that being the case, vaccine manufacturers arbitrarily recommended annual vaccinations, and most veterinarians, concerned about liability issues, concurred…

…There’s also an advantage to giving single rather than combination vaccines. “Giving more vaccinations increases the likelihood of side effects,” Welborn says. “Separating vaccinations allows the veterinarian to determine which vaccine caused a side effect if one occurs.”

If you’re concerned that your dog or cat will develop a vaccine-related health problem, but you want to make sure they’re protected against disease, annual titers are an economical alternative.

They’re reliable and costs are comparable to those for vaccinations….

 Here are some of the possible side effects following a rabies shot.  Since we now know that side effects are more common than thought, including future sarcoma cancers at the injection site and life-long autoimmune diseases, wouldn’t it be wise to just do annual follow-up titer tests, rather than subject our pets to the following side effects for annual rabies shots?

  1. Burning, crawling, itching, numbness, prickling, “pins and needles”, or tingling feelings
  2. confusion
  3. cough
  4. difficulty in moving
  5. difficulty swallowing
  6. fast heartbeat
  7. feeling of discomfort
  8. inflammation of joints
  9. irritability
  10. lack or loss of strength
  11. muscle pain, stiffness, or weakness
  12. paralysis or severe weakness of legs
  13. puffiness or swelling of the eyelids or around the eyes, face, lips, or tongue
  14. rash
  15. seizures
  16. shortness of breath
  17. skin rash, hives, or redness
  18. stiffness of arms, legs, or neck
  19. swollen, painful, or tender lymph glands in the neck, armpit, or groin
  20. tightness in chest
  21. unusual tiredness
  22. vomiting

More Common

  1. Chills
  2. dizziness
  3. fever
  4. general feeling of discomfort or illness
  5. headache
  6. itching, pain, redness, or swelling at the injection site
  7. muscle or joint aches
  8. nausea
  9. stomach or abdominal pain

Good News on the Horizon for Rabies Vaccines?#android#iPad#retweet

I’m very happy to be able to share a bit more encouraging news regarding rabies vaccinations for dogs and cats.

Very recently I reported the results of a study performed by Kansas State University (KSU) that compared “anamnestic” antibody responses of dogs and cats with current vs. out-of-date rabies vaccinations. The animals in the study were given rabies boosters (“booster” is simply another name for a re-vaccination), and then given antibody titer tests to see if the group with current vaccinations had higher titers than the group with out-of-date vaccinations.

The study authors’ conclusion:

“Results indicated that dogs with out-of-date vaccination status were not inferior in their antibody response following booster rabies vaccination, compared with dogs with current vaccination status.

Findings supported immediate booster vaccination followed by observation for 45 days of dogs and cats with an out-of-date vaccination status that are exposed to rabies, as is the current practice for dogs and cats with current vaccination status.”1

What this shows is there is no health-related reason to mandate long-term quarantine or euthanasia for dogs and cats with expired rabies vaccinations that are exposed to a rabid animal…

This Vaccine Can Impair Your Dog’s Immune System#android#iPad#retweet

By Dr. Becker

Earlier this year, a local ABC affiliate in Chicago, ABC7 Eyewitness News, decided to investigate dog owner claims (no mention of how many) that vaccine side effects had caused harm to their pets.1

According to Julie Harding, owner of a 4-year-old Vizsla, her pet suddenly became violent and vicious, foamed at the mouth, thrashed about, and suffered unexplained seizures. The woman took her dog, Piper, to a veterinary neurologist who diagnosed her with autoimmune meningitis.

Meningitis is a life-threatening disease characterized by inflammation of the layers that protect the brain and spinal cord. In the autoimmune form of the disease, the body manufactures antibodies against its own tissues, producing a massive inflammatory response.

Piper Had Recently Received the Leptospirosis Vaccine

The veterinary neurologist asked Harding if her dog had been vaccinated…

U.K. Canine Vaccination Survey#android#iPad#retweet

From England comes a report on the preliminary results of a well structured survey concerning possible health problems resulting from vaccination of dogs.

Although this is an ongoing survey the early tabulation on approximately 2,700 dogs appears to confirm our concerns with the potential for adverse effects from vaccination….

…The survey indicates a strong statistical probability that such a link does in fact exist! Some examples after vaccination are:

  • Diarrhea– 4.9% of dogs surveyed had diarrhea (68% of these within the first three months).
  • Allergies– 3.8% had allergies (55.6% within the first three months).
  • Colitis– 2.7% had colitis (56.9% first three months).
  • Dry Eye/conjunctivitis– 2.5% of dogs surveyed (56.9% within first three months)
  • Epilepsy– 2.1% had epilepsy (65.5% in first three months).
  • Loss of appetite– 3.4% suffered a loss of appetite (79.8% within first three months).
  • Nasal discharges– 1.7% showed nasal discharges (84.1% within three months of vaccination)….

The Big Scam: Rabies Vaccination#android#iPad#retweet

Written by John Fundens, D.V.M.

I would like to give you, the reader, the truth about the so called required vaccinations, particularly rabies. There are two basic forms of law. One is the legal Constitutional and Common law that this country was founded on, and the other is “colorable” law passed by Administrative agencies/bureaucrats who have been given so called authority to pass laws. Black’s Law Dictionary 5th Edition defines colorable law as “That which is in appearance only, and not in reality, what purports to be, hence counterfeit, feigned, having the appearance of truth.” Yes, I study the law, am a paralegal, and have an extensive law library.

So any and all mandatory rabies vaccination programs are colorable law, in that they have been passed and mandated upon the pet owning public by certain vested interest groups. Who are these groups? First and foremost are veterinarians, in general, and veterinarian medical organizations. Second are the local animal control personnel, bureaucrats and politicians. What are their reasons? GREED, POWER AND CONTROL. Both these large powerful interest groups stand to benefit greatly by having rabies mandated by colorable law.

Veterinarians receive a large percentage of both their gross income and profit from vaccines given in the office. On average vaccines cost 60 to 95 cents per dose and are charged to the client at $15 to $25 per injection and substantially more in the large cities…

Before You Vaccinate Your Pet, Be Aware of Granulomatous Meningoencephalitis (GME)#Pets#Vaccines#iBelieve

jlvranes Leave a comment

 The traditional veterinary community considers GME to be idiopathic, which means we don’t know why it happens. However, there is also suspicion that the disease may be caused by an abnormal immune response to an infectious agent. While most conventional vets don’t acknowledge a link between autoimmune diseases and vaccines – especially Lyme, rabies, and leptospirosis vaccines – holistic vets have long voiced concern about what certainly seems to be a cause-and-effect relationship between certain vaccines and the subsequent development of autoimmune disorders in pets.

Titer Test: Safer for Your Pet Than Routine Vaccines, and at an Affordable Cost#Vaccines#Pets#Health

jlvranes Leave a comment
 By Dr. Becker

Recently, I ran across an ABC News article titled “Dog Owners Wade Into Vaccine Debate,” which caught my interest, especially since August has been designated “National Immunization Awareness Month” by the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA).

I’m all for immunization awareness, but I’m not sure what the AVMA has in mind. I suspect it might have to do with reminding pet guardians to comply with the latest re-vaccination guidelines, thereby insuring that dogs and cats are repeatedly and in most cases unnecessarily subjected to the viruses, chemicals, adjuvants, and other potential toxins contained in vaccines.

But anyway… back to the ABC News article. The reporter who wrote the piece interviewed a man with three dogs, and starts off by saying the owner “refuses” to vaccinate them, which isn’t accurate. Reading a little further, it’s clear the owner doesn’t refuse to vaccinate – he refuses to RE-vaccinate for anything other than rabies, a vaccine that, as we all know, is required by law.

The man being interviewed, Rodney Habib, feels that repeated immunizations do more harm than good, and since he provides his dogs with puppy shots – core vaccines against distemper, parvovirus, and adenovirus (infectious hepatitis) – he believes they will remain immune for years, if not for life…

Same Vaccine Injuries in People and Pets: The Undeniable Truth#vaccines#pets#family

jlvranes Leave a comment

Consider these comments:

Vaccines may not be protecting after all
He’s always sick
Completely changed after his vaccines
We routinely give same dose to very different sized patient
Triggering or activating chronic diseases – immune diseases and cancer
Vaccine illnesses
Special diet and natural medicine helping to heal
Liver damage
No more vaccines

These adverse reactions to vaccines sound like they came from parents who have witnessed vaccine injuries like chronic illness, seizures, and autism in their children. Despite reassurance from health authorities like CDC, FDA, and WHO, there are millions of parents around the world who have seen these reactions.

But these comments are not from parents. In fact they are from a pet owner and her veterinarian…
