The Fact
Almost without exception there is no immunologic requirement for annual revaccinations. Immunity to viruses remains for the
animal’s life or at least for several years. Successful vaccination to most bacterial pathogens produces an immunologic
memory that remains for years, allowing an animal to develop a protective anamnestic (secondary) response when exposed to
virulent organisms.
Fundamental dilemma
A fundamental dilemma is that vaccination in effect leads to weakening of the immune system and the gene pool, and thus the
overall health of a given population. One way this occurs is by allowing individuals to live that would otherwise succumb
to disease, such disease being a natural means to "cleanse" and thus strengthen that population. This naturally presents an
ethical quandary these days (our understanding of native or aboriginal thinking suggests that letting weak individuals die
was implicitly understood to be not only acceptable but proper).
Veterinarians are faced with a challenge when dealing with acute diseases. Vaccinations may prevent aome of these acute
diseases, but if the exchange is for a lifetime of chronic disease, is that a viable option?
First, remembering that booster vaccines are unnecessary, we can stop all vaccination after one year of age for
virtually all diseases.
Secondly, all vaccines should be administered as single antigens. (An antigen is something that is capable of eliciting an
immune response, in this case a viral or bacterial organism from which a vaccine is produced.) This means not using the
polyvalent vaccines which have become so common these days. Natural exposure to diseases is usually one at a time, and the
body is probably more successful at responding to only one antigen and producing immunity without adverse effects, rather
than responding to a complex of antigens.
Thirdly, only immunize for diseases which meet all of the following criteria:
1.The disease is serious, even life threatening. ?
2.The animal is or will be exposed to the disease. ?
3.The vaccine for the disease is known to be effective. ?
4.The vaccine for the disease is considered safe.
Not convinced yet? Read this:
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:"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. "
Read about the comments of other vets who believe that vaccines are damaging our pets.
Dr. McCluggage DVM, covered the holistic perspective on vaccinations. He stated that "...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.
"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."
Dr Charles E Loops DVM
Routine Vaccination: Is it really safe and effective?
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 insidious, chronic diseases that are much more difficult to treat and that lower the
quality of life for many individual animals AND people.
The best road to good health is feeding a diet rich in fresh foods, (raw meatsand bones 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.
Within this framework the choice about vaccination rests with the human who has accepted responsible ownership/guardianship.
It does not rest with the veterinarian. Another trend of the past few years is coercion of guardians into procedures
such as vaccination.
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, remedy, herbs, or other non-invasive therapies, not of a chemical nature, will
enhance your health and your companions health. So, I ask you,
1. Why Destroy the Pets/Animals Immune System ?
2. Why use Toxic Antibiotics that may cause yeast infections ?
3. Why let your Animal Suffer?
4. Why use barbiturates for pain relief when there are a number of safe herbal alternatives ?
What can you do when your dog is sick when all you desire in life is that your companion be healthy?

This is another great reason to keep your pet's immune system in good order with the use of a Species Appropriate Diet, Probiotics,Enzymes, trace minerals and vitamins
