Ateam at Purdue University School of Veteri-nary Medicine conducted several studies

(1,2) to determine if vaccines can cause changesin the immune system of dogs that might lead tolife-threatening immune-mediated diseases. Theyobviously conducted this research because concernalready existed. It was sponsored by the HaywoodFoundation which itself was looking for evidencethat such changes in the human immune systemmight also be vaccine induced. It found the evi-dence.

The vaccinated, but not the non-vaccinated,dogs in the Purdue studies developed autoantibodiesto many of their own biochemicals, includingfibronectin, laminin, DNA, albumin, cytochrome C,cardiolipin and collagen.

This means that the vaccinated dogs – ”butnot the non-vaccinated dogs”– were attacking theirown fibronectin, which is involved in tissue repair,cell multiplication and growth, and differentiationbetween tissues and organs in a living organism.

The vaccinated Purdue dogs also developedautoantibodies to laminin, which is involved inmany cellular activities including the adhesion,spreading, differentiation, proliferation and move-ment of cells. Vaccines thus appear to be capable ofremoving the natural intelligence of cells.

Autoantibodies to cardiolipin are frequentlyfound in patients with the serious disease systemiclupus erythematosus (SLE) and also in individualswith other autoimmune diseases. The presence ofelevated anti-cardiolipin antibodies is significantlyassociated with clots within the heart or blood ves-sels, in poor blood clotting, hemorrhage, bleedinginto the skin, foetal loss and neurological condi-tions.

The Purdue studies also found that vaccinateddogs were developing autoantibodies to their owncollagen. About one quarter of all the protein in thebody is collagen. Collagen provides structure to our

bodies, protecting and supporting the softer tissuesand connecting them with the skeleton. It is nowonder that Canine Health Concern’s 1997 study of4,000 dogs showed a high number of dogs develop-ing mobility problems shortly after they were vacci-nated (noted in my 1997 book, What Vets Don’t TellYou About Vaccines).

Perhaps most worryingly, the Purdue studiesfound that the vaccinated dogs had developedautoantibodies to their own DNA. Did the alarmbells sound? Did the scientific community call ahalt to the vaccination program? No. Instead, theystuck their fingers in the air, saying more research isneeded to ascertain whether vaccines can causegenetic damage. Meanwhile, the study dogs werefound good homes, but no long-term follow-up hasbeen conducted. At around the same time, theAmerican Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA)Vaccine-Associated Feline Sarcoma Task Force initi-ated several studies to find out why 160,000 catseach year in the USA develop terminal cancer attheir vaccine injection sites.(3) The fact that cats canget vaccine-induced cancer has been acknowledgedby veterinary bodies around the world, and even theBritish Government acknowledged it through itsWorking Group charged with the task of lookinginto canine and feline vaccines(4) following pressurefrom Canine Health Concern. What do you imaginewas the advice of the AVMA Task Force, veterinarybodies and governments? “Carry on vaccinatinguntil we find out why vaccines are killing cats, andwhich cats are most likely to die.”

In America, in an attempt to mitigate the prob-lem, they’re vaccinating cats in the tail or leg sothey can amputate when cancer appears. Greatadvice if it’s not your cat amongst the hundreds ofthousands on the “oops” list.

But other species are okay – right? Wrong. InAugust 2003, the Journal of Veterinary Medicine car-

If I Didn’t Have A Dog...• I could walk barefoot around the yard

in safety. • All flat surfaces, clothing, furniture,

and cars would be hair-free. • My house could be carpeted instead of

tiled and laminated. • When someone drives up, my home

wouldn’t sound like a kennel. • When someone knocks at the door, I

could get to the door without the fuzzybody beating me there.

• I could sit on the couch and my bedany way I wanted, without having totake into consideration how muchspace my fur body needs to getcomfortable.

• I would have enough money, and noguilt, to go on a real vacation.

• I would not be on a first-name basiswith at least 6 veterinarians, as I puttheir yet-unborn grandkids throughcollege.

• The most used words in my vocabularywould not be: “sit,” “down,” “come,”“stay,” “leave it,” and “wait.”

• I would not talk ‘baby talk.’ ‘you tilly.’‘my tweety,’ ‘what a madder wit mybeebee.’

• My house would not look like a daycare center, with toys everywhere.

• My house would not be cordoned offinto zones with baby gates andmakeshift barriers.

• My pockets would not contain thingslike poop bags, treats, and an extraleash.

• I would no longer have to spell thewords B-A-L-L, W-A-L-K, T-R-E-A-T, C-H-E-W-I-E, B-Y-E B-Y-E, G-O, R-I-D-E, and C-O-O-K-I-E.

• I'd look forward to spring and therainy season instead of dreading 'mud'season.

• I would not have to answer same thequestion 'Why do you have so manyanimals?' from people who will neverknow the joy of being loved uncondi-tionally by the closest thing to anangel they will ever encounter.

How EMPTY my life would be!!!

My little Papillon became very stressedafter a flood in our house forced us tomove into a Microtel for several

months. The strange location combined withworkmen tearing up our house all wintercaused her little system to start to fail.

Within a short time, my dog lost herappetite, started throwing up, became arthriticand irritable, and suddenly lost her vision,hearing, and sense of balance. She began tohave seizures and soon stopped drinking. Itook her in to the emergency vet; they told memy dog had no quality of life and should beput down that day. Instead, I had them rehy-drate her and asked for a B12 (Cobalamin)shot. She didn’t suddenly get better, but afterfour weekly shots of B12 and some otherchanges, my dog was on the road to recoveryand is now a healthy, happy little girl again.

B12 is not only a vitamin that humanstake, but it benefits dogs as well. Here are thetop five benefits of Vitamin B12 shots for ourcanine friends and why shots of Vitamin B12may help dogs live a longer, healthier life.

B12 helps synthesize enzymesVitamin B12 is a vitamin which plays an

essential part in the synthesis of severalenzymes which play an important role inmany biological processes in a dog’s body.

B12 shots help prevent anemiaVitamin B12 shots help prevent anemia

in dogs. Anemia can lead to appetite prob-

lems, lethargy, and immune system weaken-ing. Vitamin B12 aids in the proper formationof red and white blood cells and helps allevi-ate the symptoms of anemia in canines.

B12 treats some intestinal conditionsVitamin B12 shots are often used to treat

some intestinal conditions that result frombacterial imbalances, including bacterialovergrowth, increased toxic metabolites, andpancreatic conditions.

B12 shots increase appetiteVitamin B12 shots help increase the

appetite of dogs, even if they are not sufferingfrom anemia or other intestinal conditions.Many underweight dogs or sick dogs mayneed to get a weekly B12 shot to stimulatetheir appetite.

B12 Increase energy & well beingVitamin B12 shots play an important

part in nervous system function in dogs. AB12 shot increases energy and alleviates tired-ness, depression, and lethargy. Vitamin B12shots promote a sense of well-being in peopleand dogs alike.

Final thoughtsThis article was written five months after

I was told to put my dog to sleep. She is ahappy, healthy little dog again, and VitaminB12 shots helped bring her back. Neither myown vet nor the emergency veterinarian sug-gested B12 shots when my dog began to fail. Ihad to do my own research and request theVitamin B12 shots.

Top five benefits of Vitamin B12 shots for dogsBy: KathrynDarden – 10-May-2011 – http://www.listmyfive.com/401eaa27/The-Top-Five-Benefits-of-Vitamin-B12-Shots-For-Dogs

Dear Pup Crawl Affiliate Partner,

As we prepare for the dog days of summer,we wanted to share some important andexciting updates about The Pup Crawl,

which is helping to raise funds for animalsshelters and rescues across the country.

More than 200 shelters and rescues in 35states and Puerto Rico are part of The PupCrawl affiliate program and, like you, they’reraising funds through sales of The Pup CrawlLights-Up Leash, recently named a Fave Findby Modern Dog magazine.

The mission of The Pup Crawl is to helpshelters and rescue groups care for the mil-lions of pets who lose their homes every year.In 2009, we launched The Brooklyn BridgePup Crawl, an exciting nighttime walk acrossthe iconic Brooklyn Bridge that raised fundsfor our six non-profit partner shelter and res-cue programs in California, Florida, and NewYork. All proceeds from registration go directlyand in full to these great organizations.

In 2011, we are trying toextend the fundraising powerof The Pup Crawl to local ani-mal groups across the countrythrough the new Pup CrawlLights-Up Leash™. The ideawas to develop a new, fashion-able, and memorable illumi-nated dog leash that couldserve as a serious fundraisingvehicle for animal sheltersand rescues.

The Pup Crawl teamedup with pet-product companyAlto to create The Pup CrawlLights-Up Leash, an extremelybright illuminated dog leash.When a local shelter or rescuegroup signs on as an affiliate,$3 from every leash sale gen-erated by that organizationgoes directly to help petsunder its care.

As you know by now, theleash is the first illuminated

dog leash in the world designed specifically tohelp shelter and rescue animals. That is whythe leash is not available in stores. It is onlyavailable through non-profit organizationsdedicated to bettering the lives of homelessanimals.

One important note: The purchase priceof The Pup Crawl Lights-Up Leash hasincreased to $25, which includes shipping,handling, and the $3 from each and everyleash that goes to an organization like yours.The price change will offset increases in theprice of raw materials used in manufacturingthe leash.

Colors include Pink, Orange, White, Red,Yellow, Blue, and Green. Free shipping isincluded if you purchase 5 or MORE! Leashesare visable up to 1/4 of a mile away in thedark!

So encourage them to purchase now inorder to save some money and generate someincome for the animals under your care.

Lee County (Florida) Domestic AnimalServices (LCDAS) is urging all pet owners tovaccinate their dogs for parvo-virus. The shel-ter has seen a rise in parvo cases among straydogs and puppies in the community. “Theparvo-virus is highly contagious, expensive totreat, and often fatal despite treatment,”warns LCDAS veterinarian, Suzanne Vazzana.

Whitney Whitford, D.V.M. of AnimalMedical Center of Lehigh and president of theCalusa Veterinary Medical Society urges own-ers with new puppies to see their veterinarianfor vaccinations beginning at six to eightweeks of age with boosters given every threeweeks until puppies are 16 weeks old. Ownersshould continue to follow their veterinarian’srecommended schedule for vaccines to ensureprotection against this deadly virus and limittheir pet’s exposure to questionable areas.

Parvo-virus is spread from dog to dog bydirect or indirect contact with their feces. Itcan be especially severe in puppies that arenot protected by maternal antibodies or vacci-nation. The common signs are severe vomit-ing and diarrhea. The virus can live in organ-ic matter, such as soil, for over a year. Victimsof this virus die of dehydration as the virusattacks the intestinal lining.

It is extremely important to animal shel-ters that the public vaccinate their pets, asthese are the same pets that might end up atthe shelter if they get lost. LCDAS has taken aproactive role in the community and, asalways, vaccinates all dogs entering the shel-ter against the parvo-virus. More informationabout proper pet care and a list of local veteri-nary, emergency, and low-cost clinics, is avail-able at http://www.leelostpets.com.

Parvo in the newsNews article from http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2011/apr/22/canine-parvo-deadly-virus-on-the-rise-in-lee-count

Some of you many have seen this article on your local tv news ... my roommate brought itto my attention! I realize that the dogs we own are all inoculated; but some of our fostersmay come without proper shots.

Canine Parvo-Deadly virus on the rise in Lee County

So let’s take a look at some of the signs ofparvo and how your fosters may be affected.

Signs of ParvoSigns of Parvo article written by Traci Benoit –http://dogs.lovetoknow.com/wiki/Signs_of_Parvo

Every dog owner should know the signsof parvo, or parvovirus, even if their dog hasbeen vaccinated against the illness.

Dogs That Are AffectedParvo is a very serious and potentially

deadly viral illness. Puppies that contract thedisease often die because of the problems theillness causes. Most dogs affected by the dis-ease are under one year of age, but older dogscan contract and die from parvo. Parvo ishighly contagious and does not require directcontact to pass between dogs. Parvovirus canlive in the soil and infected feces for almost anentire year, even in extreme temperatures.

The incubation period of parvovirus isbetween three to ten days. Symptoms can startimmediately after this period, developing rap-idly within 12 hours or less.

Parvo can be contracted very easily, evenif your dog is always kept inside your yard orhome. The disease can be picked up on shoes,tires, or from any form of physical contactwith infected soil or feces.

Symptoms and Signs of Parvo• Lethargy – When your dog is acting

depressed and seems exhausted even whileat rest, contact a veterinarian immediately.This is one of the most common signs ofdog health problems.

• Vomiting – If your dog is vomiting for noapparent reason (no recent change indiet), call your veterinarian.

• Bloody diarrhea – Bloody diarrhea is oneof a few dangerous symptoms of parvo.This, coupled with vomiting, can dehy-drate your dog very quickly.

• High fever – This must be controlled tokeep the dog healthy.

• Lack of appetite – When a dog has noappetite he may have an intestinal strainof parvo.

• Fecal odor – Dogs with parvo have verystrong, odd smelling feces. By the timethis symptom is apparent, it may be toolate to save the dog. Of all the signs of parvo, vomiting and

diarrhea are the most fatal. These symp-toms can dehydrate your dog very fast,killing him quickly if he is not treated.

Different Forms of ParvoNot all dogs die if infected with parvo.

Some strains are more deadly than others are,much like the human flu virus. There are twogeneral strains of the parvovirus: cardiac andintestinal.

Intestinal Parvovirus – Intestinal Parvo-virus is the most common form of parvo. Thisstrain infects the bloodstream and attacks thelining of the digestive tract, bone marrow, andcells. The intestines deteriorate and causebacteria to get into the bloodstream, addingmore complications to an already seriousproblem.

Cardiac Parvovirus – Cardiac Parvovirusis the most deadly form of the illness. Thecardiac strain attacks the heart and can killwith little or no symptoms. It is also the leastcommon strain and infects mostly only veryyoung puppies.

TreatmentPuppy Examination – Getting your dog

to a veterinarian as soon as symptoms ofparvo are apparent is the dog's best chance ofsurvival. While there is no cure for parvo, theveterinarian will put the dog on an IV to fightdehydration and malnutrition. Vitamins,sugar and potassium will also be given alongwith antibiotics to help prevent infection. Inextreme cases, blood transfusions may be nec-essary.

Prevention – Help prevent parvo in yourdog by having it vaccinated against the illnessas a puppy. Puppies receive several shots tostart the vaccination process, receiving oneshot each year for the first few years of life.Some veterinarians recommend having yourdog vaccinated once a year no matter whatage it is. Dogs who survive parvo are usuallyimmune from ever getting the illness again,though it has reoccurred in some cases.

If you do have a dog that has had parvo,wait at least one year before bringing a newdog onto your property. Though not transmit-ted through the air like several other viruses,parvo can live in the soil and infect a dog veryeasily. Washing with soap and water will notkill the virus. Bleach is the only known clean-ing agent strong enough to kill the virus onsolid objects, such as food dishes and floors.

Know the signs of parvo and keep yourdog safe.

Another Success story!!!

Hi! Just wanted to send you some pics.Domino is such a wonderful addition. Myhusband keeps calling me at work to tell mewhat Domino just did. It was a long triphome (15 hrs with all of the rest stops) butboth Domino and my Pap Athena did great.Slept most of the time.

Athena is cautious around Domino butstarting to warm up. Will let him on ‘her’bed and will walk side by side with him.Won’t let him near her food though – buthe shows no interest in it. Just walks past.

We knew that relationship will taketime though.

He is getting very close toBlizzard – our cat. And they sleep inmy daughter’s bed together at night.Now, Blizzard wants to be in thesame room as Domino is in all ofthe time.

The pictures are of one of therest stops and Domino and Blizzard(left) together. Hope to get one ofAthena and Blizzard together soon.

Thank you both very much foryour help – will keep you posted!

ried an Italian study which showed that dogsalso develop vaccine-induced cancers at theirinjection sites.(5) We already know that vaccine-site cancer is a possible sequel to human vac-cines, too, since the Salk polio vaccine was saidto carry a monkey retrovirus (from cultivatingthe vaccine on monkey organs) that producesinheritable cancer. The monkey retrovirus SV40keeps turning up in human cancer sites.

It is also widely acknowledged that vaccinescan cause a fast-acting, usually fatal, diseasecalled autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA).Without treatment, and frequently with treat-ment, individuals can die in agony within amatter of days. Merck, itself a multinational vac-cine manufacturer, states in The Merck Manualof Diagnosis and Therapy that autoimmunehemolytic anemia may be caused by modifiedlive-virus vaccines, as do Tizard’s VeterinaryImmunology (4th edition) and the Journal ofVeterinary Internal Medicine.(6) The BritishGovernment’s Working Group, despite beingstaffed by vaccine-industry consultants who saythey are independent, also acknowledged thisfact. However, no one warns the pet ownersbefore their animals are subjected to an unnec-essary booster, and very few owners are told whyafter their pets die of AIHA.

A Wide Range of Vaccine-induced Diseases

We also found some worrying correlationsbetween vaccine events and the onset of arthritisin our 1997 survey. Our concerns were com-pounded by research in the human field.

The New England Journal of Medicine, forexample, reported that it is possible to isolate therubella virus from affected joints in childrenvaccinated against rubella. It also told of the iso-lation of viruses from the peripheral blood ofwomen with prolonged arthritis following vacci-nation.(7)

Then, in 2000, CHC’s findings were con-firmed by research which showed that pol-yarthritis and other diseases like amyloidosis,which affects organs in dogs, were linked to thecombined vaccine given to dogs.(8) There is ahuge body of research, despite the paucity offunding from the vaccine industry, to confirmthat vaccines can cause a wide range of brainand central nervous system damage. Merck itselfstates in its Manual that vaccines (i.e., its ownproducts) can cause encephalitis: brain inflam-mation/damage. In some cases, encephalitisinvolves lesions in the brain and throughout the

central nervous system. Merck states that “exam-ples are the encephalitides following measles,chickenpox, rubella, smallpox vaccination, vac-cinia, and many other less well defined viralinfections.”

When the dog owners who took part in theCHC survey reported that their dogs developedshort attention spans, 73.1 percent of the dogsdid so within three months of a vaccine event.The same percentage of dogs was diagnosed withepilepsy within three months of a shot (but usu-ally within days). We also found that 72.5 per-cent of dogs that were considered by their ownersto be nervous and of a worrying disposition, firstexhibited these traits within the three-monthpost-vaccination period.

I would like to add for the sake of Oliver,my friend who suffered from paralysed rear legsand death shortly after a vaccine shot, that“paresis” is listed in Merck’s Manual as a symp-tom of encephalitis. This is defined as muscularweakness of a neural (brain) origin whichinvolves partial or incomplete paralysis, result-ing from lesions at any level of the descendingpathway from the brain. Hind limb paralysis isone of the potential consequences. Encephalitis,incidentally, is a disease that can manifest acrossthe scale from mild to severe and can also causesudden death.

Organ failure must also be suspected whenit occurs shortly after a vaccine event. Dr LarryGlickman, who spearheaded the Purdue researchinto post-vaccination biochemical changes indogs, wrote in a letter to Cavalier Spaniel breederBet Hargreaves:

“Our ongoing studies of dogs show that fol-lowing routine vaccination, there is a significantrise in the level of antibodies dogs produceagainst their own tissues. Some of these antibod-ies have been shown to target the thyroid gland,connective tissue such as that found in thevalves of the heart, red blood cells, DNA, etc. I dobelieve that the heart conditions in Cavalier KingCharles Spaniels could be the end result ofrepeated immunizations by vaccines containingtissue culture contaminants that cause a pro-gressive immune response directed at connectivetissue in the heart valves. The clinical manifes-tations would be more pronounced in dogs thathave a genetic predisposition [although] thefindings should be generally applicable to alldogs regardless of their breed.”

I must mention here that Dr Glickmanbelieves that vaccines are a necessary evil, but

that safer vaccines need to be developed.

Vaccines Stimulate an Inflammatory Response

The word “allergy” is synonymous with“sensitivity” and “inflammation.” It should, byrights, also be synonymous with the word “vac-cination.” This is what vaccines do: they sensi-tise (render allergic)an individual in the processof forcing them to develop antibodies to fight adisease threat. In other words, as is acknowl-edged and accepted, as part of the vaccineprocess the body will respond with inflamma-tion. This may be apparently temporary or itmay be longstanding.

Holistic doctors and veterinarians haveknown this for at least 100 years. They talkabout a wide range of inflammatory or “-itis”diseases which arise shortly after a vaccine event.Vaccines, in fact, plunge many individuals intoan allergic state. Again, this is a disorder thatranges from mild all the way through to thesuddenly fatal. Anaphylactic shock is the culmi-nation: it’s where an individual has a massiveallergic reaction to a vaccine and will die withinminutes if adrenaline or its equivalent is notadministered.

There are some individuals who are geneti-cally not well placed to withstand the vaccinechallenge. These are the people (and animalsare “people,” too) who have inherited faulty Band T cell function. B and T cells are compo-nents within the immune system which identifyforeign invaders and destroy them, and hold theinvader in memory so that they cannot causefuture harm. However, where inflammatoryresponses are concerned, the immune systemoverreacts and causes unwanted effects such asallergies and other inflammatory conditions.

Merck warns in its Manual that patientswith, or from families with, B and/or T cellimmunodeficiencies should not receive live-virusvaccines due to the risk of severe or fatal infec-tion. Elsewhere, it lists features of B and T cellimmunodeficiencies as food allergies, inhalantallergies, eczema, dermatitis, neurological dete-rioration and heart disease. To translate, peoplewith these conditions can die if they receive live-virus vaccines. Their immune systems are simplynot competent enough to guarantee a healthyreaction to the viral assault from modified live-virus vaccines.

Modified live-virus (MLV) vaccines replicatein the patient until an immune response is pro-voked. If a defence isn’t stimulated, then the

The Purdue Vaccination Studies (continued from pg. 1)

(continued on pg. 8)

vaccine continues to replicate until it gives thepatient the very disease it was intending to pre-vent.

Alternatively, a deranged immune responsewill lead to inflammatory conditions such asarthritis, pancreatitis, colitis, encephalitis andany number of autoimmune diseases such ascancer and leukaemia, where the body attacksits own cells.

A new theory, stumbled upon by OpenUniversity student Gary Smith, explains whatholistic practitioners have been saying for a verylong time. Here is what a few of the holistic vetshave said in relation to their patients:

Dr Jean Dodds: “Many veterinarians tracethe present problems with allergic and immuno-logic diseases to the introduction of MLV vac-cines…” (9)

Christina Chambreau, DVM: “Routine vac-cinations are probably the worst thing that we dofor our animals. They cause all types of illnesses,but not directly to where we would relate themdefinitely to be caused by the vaccine.” (10)

Martin Goldstein, DVM: “I think that vac-cines…are leading killers of dogs and cats inAmerica today.”

Dr Charles E. Loops, DVM: “Homoeopathicveterinarians and other holistic practitionershave maintained for some time that vaccina-tions do more harm than they provide benefits.”(12)

Mike Kohn, DVM: “In response to this [vac-cine] violation, there have been increasedautoimmune diseases (allergies being one com-ponent), epilepsy, neoplasia [tumors], as well asbehavioural problems in small animals.” (13)

A Theory on InflammationGary Smith explains what observant

healthcare practitioners have been saying for avery long time, but perhaps they’ve not under-stood why their observations led them to say it.His theory, incidentally, is causing a huge stirwithin the inner scientific sanctum. Somebelieve that his theory could lead to a cure formany diseases including cancer. For me, itexplains why the vaccine process is inherentlyquestionable.

Gary was learning about inflammation aspart of his studies when he struck upon a theoryso extraordinary that it could have implicationsfor the treatment of almost every inflammatorydisease – including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s,rheumatoid arthritis and even HIV and AIDS.

Gary’s theory questions the received wisdomthat when a person gets ill, the inflammationthat occurs around the infected area helps it toheal. He claims that, in reality, inflammationprevents the body from recognising a foreignsubstance and therefore serves as a hiding placefor invaders. The inflammation occurs when at-risk cells produce receptors called All (known asangiotensin II type I receptors). He says thatwhile At1 has a balancing receptor, At 2, which issupposed to switch off the inflammation, inmost diseases this does not happen.

“Cancer has been described as the woundthat never heals,” he says. “All successful can-cers are surrounded by inflammation.Commonly this is thought to be the body’s reac-tion to try to fight the cancer, but this is not thecase.

“The inflammation is not the body tryingto fight the infection. It is actually the virus orbacteria deliberately causing inflammation inorder to hide from the immune system [author'semphasis].” (14)

If Gary is right, then the inflammatoryprocess so commonly stimulated by vaccines isnot, as hitherto assumed, a necessarily accept-able sign. Instead, it could be a sign that theviral or bacterial component, or the adjuvant(which, containing foreign protein, is seen as aninvader by the immune system), in the vaccineis winning by stealth.

If Gary is correct in believing that theinflammatory response is not protective but asign that invasion is taking place under cover ofdarkness, vaccines are certainly not the friendswe thought they were. They are undercoverassassins working on behalf of the enemy, andvets and medical doctors are unwittingly actingas collaborators. Worse, we animal guardiansand parents are actually paying doctors and vetsto unwittingly betray our loved ones.

Potentially, vaccines are the stealth bomb ofthe medical world. They are used to catapultinvaders inside the castle walls where they canwreak havoc, with none of us any the wiser. Sorather than experiencing frank viral diseasessuch as the ‘flu, measles, mumps and rubella(and, in the case of dogs, parvovirus and distem-per), we are allowing the viruses to win anyway– but with cancer, leukaemia and other inflam-matory or autoimmune (self-attacking) diseasestaking their place.

The Final InsultAll 27 veterinary schools in North America

have changed their protocols for vaccinatingdogs and cats along the following lines; (15) how-ever, vets in practice are reluctant to listen tothese changed protocols and official veterinarybodies in the UK and other countries are ignor-ing the following facts.

Dogs’ and cats’ immune systems maturefully at six months. If modified live-virus vac-cine is given after six months of age, it producesimmunity, which is good for the life of the pet. Ifanother MLV vaccine is given a year later, theantibodies from the first vaccine neutralise theantigens of the second vaccine and there is littleor no effect. The titer is not “boosted,” nor aremore memory cells induced.

Not only are annual boosters unnecessary,but they subject the pet to potential risks such asallergic reactions and immune-mediatedhemolytic anemia.

In plain language, veterinary schools inAmerica, plus the American Veterinary MedicalAssociation, have looked at studies to show howlong vaccines last and they have concluded andannounced that annual vaccination is unneces-sary.(16-19)

Further, they have acknowledged that vac-cines are not without harm. Dr Ron Schultz,head of pathobiology at Wisconsin Universityand a leading light in this field, has been sayingthis politely to his veterinary colleagues since the1980s. I’ve been saying it for the past 12 years.But change is so long in coming and, in themeantime, hundreds of thousands of animalsare dying every year – unnecessarily.

The good news is that thousands of animallovers (but not enough) have heard what we’vebeen saying. Canine Health Concern membersaround the world use real food as Nature’ssupreme disease preventative, eschewingprocessed pet food, and minimise the vaccinerisk. Some of us, myself included, have chosennot to vaccinate our pets at all. Our reward ishealthy and long-lived dogs.

It has taken but one paragraph to tell youthe good and simple news. The gratitude I feeleach day, when I embrace my healthy dogs,stretches from the centre of the Earth to theUniverse and beyond.

EndnotesCan be seen at the website mentioned at

the start of this story.

PHR note: PapHaven has its own VettingProtocol based on eliminating as much risk tothe rescued Pap as possible... including over vac-cination. We only give distemper, parvo, and bor-datella (required to transport), plus rabies. Nowthat rabies is only required every 3 years in moststates, it is not given annually. Lepto is onlyrequired and given where there is an active out-break of this disease – or if the Paps are travelingto a known area with active Lepto, and thereverse – coming from an active outbreak. Leptovaccs for puppies is very dangerous.

As a private owner one must do their duediligence and decide on how much/many vacci-nations they feel is right for their own pet.

I am not trying to pass the buck on this, butit is a matter for each owner to decide. If you askme what I have decided for my own doggies andcats – then I would say, less is best. I will NOT getLyme vacs as I am convinced that both our boxermixes who died from cancer was because ofLyme vaccinations during their life time. It wasrecommended by our vet, but no pet had beendiagnosed with Lyme in our county. There aresome studies that have found a tendency towarddamage to the immune system which causes thisfinding, but vet clinics will not tell you aboutit.....sigh.

Introducing PapHaven Rescue –www.paphaven.org

This group came about through the love of a smalldeaf puppy that required transport halfway across

the country to her new home. It took the effort anddedication of people from Texas to Washington D.C.and on to Ohio. It took the cooperation of three otherrescue groups. In the end, it took the hearts of everyone. It is this good will and renewed faith in thegoodness of people everywhere that led us in formingPapillon Haven Rescue (Pap Haven). We are a 501(c)3non-profit organization, all volunteer National groupspecializing in Paps and Papillon mixes, their rescue,and rehabilitation.

Since then, PapHaven Rescue has growndramatically and continues to grow and evolve to tryto meet the changing needs of rescue and the on-going saga of Papillons in need... where ever they are.

We would like to invite you to join in our rescueefforts. With hands reaching out across the country, wecan form a circle of love and caring that refuses to leteven one Papillon in need fall though the cracks. Weare not in competition with any other rescue groups.In fact, it is our goal to work hand in hand with everyrescue group and shelter that will join us in this effort.We will not ask for perfect lineage, origins, or looks.We will coordinate with other groups for transportingeach other’s breed. We welcome volunteers, sponsors,interested folk, contributors, and especially kind words.

Our eNewsletter, The Way Home, will try tobring informative articles, feature stories,announcements, upcoming events, and urgent alertsabout situations where the need for rescue is great.

Foster FamiliesURGENTLYNeeded

Established in 2003, PHR has placed many Papillons into their forever homes. Manyhave been owner surrenders, shelter surrender as well as stray rescues. Our memberspride themselves in finding the best possible homes for our Papillons.

But it’s impossible to do without foster homes!All of our rescued Paps go through a screening process, are altered, and fully vetted prior

to placement. We are a national group of volunteers spanning the US who do this justbecause we love the breed and are trying to protect and preserve it! During their time with usin foster care, we work on crate training, socialization, basic obedience, and housetraining, sothat the transition period is smoother once placed into their forever homes.
