“The protective power of vaccination is due to a diseased state of the body” M.L.Tyler. In Homeopathic teaching we learn that for the most part the reason a vaccine appears to work is because it makes the patient so sick it can no longer react to the contagion we are vaccinating for (body can only deal with one type of diseased state of same intensity and origin at a time). If we really think about it for a moment. If we were to inject a live virus for example like Rabies into a cat, dog or horse. And that animal gets inundated with that virus, heavy metals contained within it (Mercury, Aluminum), formaldehyde, other unknown viruses, fetal and other animal specie tissues etc. it can be pretty busy trying to protect itself. Yes we may get an immune system response (fever, localized swelling and so on) but what we also get is chaos. The body goes into over-drive trying to remove the foreign materials…and to fight this live virus that is now inside the body. Sometimes the body and immune system is strong enough (this is why not all animals or people drop at every injection)…but with the weak animals we now have a BIG problem. Imagine your pet is already immune system compromised somehow…has a few mild allergies (nothing mild about allergies by the way…just means immune system is pretty well broken). Even lowered immune function due to an upset tummy, bad diet, diarrhea…this spells big trouble when we are vaccinating.
For some animals in a weakened state ONE vaccine can mean chronic disease for others it takes multiple ones year in and year out. One never knows how and when the pet will react. But the one thing I can tell you is they all react in some way. Vaccinosis (vaccine induced chronic disease) can rear its ugly head in various forms. Depending on what organ your pet has weakness in that is where it can show up but main thing that keeps occurring especially with multiple vaccines is we create confusion in the immune system and push it into over-drive – we create auto-immune diseases. The idea of vaccines is not a bad one…and to some extent yes it has “protected” against acute infections/diseases….BUT let’s be very clear it is at a cost. We are perhaps preventing an acute disease BUT WE ARE REPLACING IT WITH CHRONIC DISEASE caused directly by the vaccine itself…
By law in most parts of North America and some parts of the world Rabies vaccine is mandatory. When I went to work in Vet Clinics and Vet school it was a requirement to get the Rabies vaccine for people working around the animals…so I had to get it done (this was before I knew about side-effects). I got sick by the first of the set of three. And by the second couldn’t handle the third. Doctor still insisted even though I was reacting badly. Imagine our animals getting it done YEARLY and not just one but multiple. Never in nature would they come in contact with a rabid animal that bit them more than once every year…or come in contact with tons of other diseases we vaccinate against all in one minute…we must be responsible pet owners and ask lots of questions. One of the main questions to ask is…is my pet healthy enough to get vaccinated? And if he or she is healthy than only ONE should suffice.
The main thing I’d like to impart is PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH! Look up side-effects. ASK TO READ THE INSERT LABEL THAT COMES WITH THE VACCINATIONS…take it home first and study it. Then if you feel like you are making an informed decision for your pet and know the risks involved then is it safe to proceed with caution.
Vaccines have become so commonplace that we don’t question or research but just blindly trust. Do NOT trust anyone explicitly. Follow your instincts and read everything you can get your hands on. I read articles and research papers written by doctors, scientists both for and against vaccinations – why? So I have a balanced view…and can challenge my views if the need arises. When I first started out in medicine I didn’t quite do that. I went in blindly…I read only medical journals and papers written by ONE side – yes I was well versed but by one side of the coin…when I started to see bad reactions in animals at the Vet Clinic and in my own home with my animals I started to ask questions…and thus the journey began for me and still continues…
Don’t make a decision based on one person’s views or one doctor, one article…but on several and from LOTS of various sources. An open mind is where we leave room to find the truth.
