Ch Sagacious B' Liza With A Z
Sagacious Airedales take homeopathic nosodes for heartworm, kennel cough,
parvo and distemper.
There is controversy among homeopathic veterinarians whether or not
nosodes for parvo, distemper and kennel cough should be given. Some say
yes, and they can't agree on the frequency, and others say no. The only
controversy regarding the heartworm nosode is that it may not work.
Vaccinations, especially the
bundled vaccinations, are an assault on the immune system. Vaccines are
not 100% effective. I firmly believe that the bundled annual vaccinations and even the new
protocol cited by the majority of the veterinary colleges of every three years
is too much. I believe these vaccinations result in the early deaths of
our companion animals from cancer and autoimmune problems. They cause
reactions from limping to hot spots to liver disease to kidney disease to
thyroid problems, to urinary tract infections, to heart problems to name a
few. These reactions do not have to be immediate or even within 24
hours. The reactions can show up months after the vaccinations are
given. Also the vaccine dosage is usually not weight adjusted. The
same amount is given to a Yorkshire Terrier as is given to a St.
Bernard.
Purdue University is conducting research into the vaccination issue at the
request of some Great Dane breeders. They are three years into the five
year study and they have already concluded that those dogs that have had little
or no vaccinations are the healthiest.
I am hoping the time comes when state health departments will realize that
the human population can be safe if only one or two rabies vaccinations are
given. I believe the excess rabies vaccinations are the cause of a lot of
aggressiveness and sound phobias we are now seeing in dogs.
If your comfort level is that you feel you must vaccinate your companion
animal, please request that only a single antigen be given at a time. So
if you follow the new three year protocol, one year give parvo, the next year
distemper, the next year kennel cough. Never give rabies at the same time
any other vaccination is given. Vaccinations should only be given to
healthy animals. Do not vaccinate at the same time that any surgery may be
scheduled.
If your dog or cat has had several years of annual vaccinations there is a
blood test called titers which will show the antibody level in the blood to a
particular vaccine. If you use homeopathic nosodes, titers will not show
an antibody level.
