RABIES
VACCINE RESEARCH |
|
Holistic vets have long
known of the dangers of all vaccinations and maybe rabies tops the list. Now there is hope that our dogs and cats
may be saved from the dreadful complications of over vaccinating. Kris Cristine
almost single handedly got the state of Maine to switch from annual
vaccination requirements to a 3 year program.
Mexico needs a Kris Cristine! But she did not stop there. She continued her campaign by contributing
her efforts to those of doctors Jean Dodds of Hemopet in Garden Grove, California and Ronald Schultz at
University of Wisconsin School of Veterinary Medicine in Madison,
Wisconsin. They created the Rabies
Challenge Fund which needed $177,000 to fund the first year’s
budget. They now have those funds
thanks to their efforts and the amazing support of many dog clubs,
veterinarians, and concerned owners.
The study will begin next month! The vaccine companies and veterinary
profession as a whole have done nothing and that is a sad, sad testimonial,
indeed. Clearly the vaccine companies
place income above the health of the animals and that is true with ALL
vaccines – not just rabies. Dr. Schultz will be
volunteering his time and the University of Wisconsin will donate all the
overhead costs for the 5 and 7 year studies.
Let’s hear it for both of them! “Dr. Schultz has already
performed serological studies that documented rabies antibody titer counts at
levels known to confer
immunity seven years after vaccination.” He most assuredly does not anticipate any
surprises with this formal study that can leave no doubts to the truth of his
findings. Dr. Dodds
lectures regularly about the adverse reactions associated with the rabies
vaccine. Most people think that if the
animal shows no reaction in the vet’s office that all is well. Not so!
Her findings of adverse reactions include autoimmune diseases of the
thyroid, joints, blood, eyes, skin, kidney, bowel and central nervous system
as well as anaphylactic shock seen in the vet’s office. There is also evidence connecting rabies
vaccinations with aggression, seizures, epilepsy and fibrosarcomas
at the injection sites, especially in cats but not limited to them. As caretakers for our
canine and feline companions we must be educated about all the vaccines
administered to our pets and stand firmly on an up to date program rather
than simply agree to a vet’s very outdated annual vaccination program. Drs. Dodds and
Schultz were instrumental in changing the American Animal Hospital
Association’s vaccination protocol so if you have any doubts about what to
give and when to give it check out their program at aahanet.org. Every vet school in the U.S. has changed
its stand on vaccinations but sad to say way too many vets choose to live in
the dark ages. They, like the vaccine
companies, appear to place money above the health of the animals they have
trained to serve. Rabies vaccinations are
mandated by law and Mexico, unfortunately, is really out of date with an annual
requirement but that does not apply to other vaccinations. Check it out. Donations to this worthy
cause can be sent to: The Rabies Challenge Fund c/o Hemopet 11330 Markon
