WHAT EVERY VET (AND PET OWNER) SHOULD KNOW ABOUT VACCINES

9/25/2014

I have followed Dr. Shultz's research for about three years now and it totally changed the way I have my pets vaccinated.  I have a holistic vet and I am not encouraged to over vaccinate my dogs.  The only vaccination that is required by most states is rabies.  Many states will accept a titer if the level of antibodies in the animals body meets their requirements. We have rights as pet owners and you should do research before having your pets vaccinated annually.  Check out the immunity time for the vaccinations in this article. I have other articles on vaccinations on my blog.

Are you and your vet at odds about how often your dog should be vaccinated for the core vaccines?  We’re here to help.
By Dogs Naturally Magazine in Vaccine Articles and News

First, it is important to understand that the core vaccines are not required by law – only rabies can be.  Nobody can force you to vaccinate your dog with any other vaccine.  This is a decision best left up to you and your vet.  Before that decision is made however, make certain that you are both aware of the duration of immunity of those vaccines and the potentially lethal consequences of giving just one vaccine too many.

More is not better

When it comes to immunity and duration of immunity for vaccines, there is one clear expert.  Dr Ronald D Schultz is one of perhaps three or four researchers doing challenge studies on veterinary vaccines – and he has been doing these studies for 40 years.  It is Dr Schultz’s work that prompted the AAHA and AVMA to re-evaluate vaccine schedules.  In 2003, The American Animal Hospital Association Canine Vaccine Taskforce warned vets in JAAHA (39 March/April 2003) that ‘Misunderstanding, misinformation and the conservative nature of our profession have largely slowed adoption of protocols advocating decreased frequency of vaccination’; ‘Immunological memory provides durations of immunity for core infectious diseases that far exceed the traditional recommendations for annual vaccination.’

‘This is supported by a growing body of veterinary information  as well-developed epidemiological vigilance in human medicine that indicates immunity induced by vaccination is extremely long lasting and, in most cases, lifelong.’

“The recommendation for annual re-vaccination is a practice that was officially started in 1978.”  says Dr Schultz.  “This recommendation was made without any scientific validation of the need to booster immunity so frequently. In fact the presence of good humoral antibody levels blocks the anamnestic response to vaccine boosters just as maternal antibody blocks the response in some young animals.”

He adds:  “The patient receives no benefit and may be placed at serious risk when an unnecessary vaccine is given. Few or no scientific studies have demonstrated a need for cats or dogs to be revaccinated. Annual vaccination for diseases caused by CDV, CPV2, FPLP and FeLV has not been shown to provide a level of immunity any different from the immunity in an animal vaccinated and immunized at an early age and challenged years later. We have found that annual revaccination with the vaccines that provide long-term immunity provides no demonstrable benefit.”

Below is the result of duration of immunity testing on over 1,000 dogs.  Both challenge (exposure to the real virus) and serology (antibody titer results) are shown below:

challenge / serology

Canine Adenovirus-2 (CAV-2)

7 yrs / 9 yrs

challenge-CAV-1 / serology

Canine Parvovirus-2 (CAV-2)

7 yrs

challenge / serology

It is important to note that this is the MINIMUM duration of immunity.  These ceilings reflect not the duration of immunity, rather the duration of the studies.

Dr Schultz explains “It is important to understand that these are minimum DOI’s and longer studies have not been done with certain of the above products. It is possible that some or all of these products will provide lifelong immunity.”

Dr Schultz has seen these results repeated over the years.  In 2010, he published the following with newer generation, recombinant vaccines.  It is important to note that not only did the vaccines provide protection for a minimum of 4 to 5 years, it did so in 100% of the dogs tested.



Vaccine Dangers

Why is it important to understand Dr Schultz’s work?  Because vaccines can create very real health problems in dogs.  It is important that vaccines are only given when necessary because every vaccine has the potential to kill the patient or create debilitating chronic diseases including cancer and allergies.

Below is a list of potential adverse vaccine reactions, according to Dr Schultz:

Common Reactions:

·        Lethargy

·        Hair loss, hair color change at injection site

·        Fever

·        Soreness

·        Stiffness

·        Refusal to eat

·        Conjunctivitis

·        Sneezing

·        Oral ulcers

Moderate Reactions:

·        Immunosupression

·        Behavioral changes

·        Vitiligo

·        Weight loss (Cachexia)

·        Reduced milk production

·        Lameness

·        Granulomas/abscesses

·        Hives

·        Facial edema

·        Atopy

·        Respiratory disease

·        Allergic uveitis (Blue Eye)

Severe Reactions triggered by Vaccines:

·        Vaccine injection site sarcomas

·        Anaphylaxis

·        Arthritis, polyarthritis

·        HOD hypertrophy osteodystrophy

·        Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia

·        Immune Mediated Thrombocytopenia (IMTP)

·        Hemolytic disease of the newborn (Neonatal Isoerythrolysis)

·        Thyroiditis

·        Glomerulonephritis

·        Disease or enhanced disease which with the vaccine was designed to prevent

·        Myocarditis

·        Post vaccinal encephalitis or polyneuritis

·        Seizures

·        Abortion, congenital anomalies, embryonic/fetal death, failure to conceive

Dr Schultz summarizes his 40 years of research with the following:

“Only one dose of the modified-live canine ‘core’ vaccine (against CDV, CAV-2 and CPV-2) or modified-live feline ‘core’ vaccine (against FPV, FCV and FHV), when administered at 16 weeks or older, will provide long lasting (many years to a lifetime) immunity in a very high percentage of animals.”

We understand vets are frightened because they have seen animals die and suffer from preventable disease.  Vaccine-induced diseases are also deadly and they are also preventable.  Our companion animals rely on vets to make the right decisions when it comes to vaccines.  We are begging vets to stand up and take notice – our pets’ lives depend on it.

DISCLAIMER: I, Mary DeRoche, am not a veterinarian and do not practice medicine.  I do not diagnose, cure, heal, treat disease or otherwise prescribe medication.  I assist people in working with their animals in correcting energetic imbalances in their pet’s bio-field that assists the body to release its innate healing ability.  When the energy of the body is balanced and moving correctly, the body’s innate natural energy heals itself.  All healing is self-healing.  Animals are affected by their environment so I also include the pet owners in my work.  Animals do pick up energy from their owners.   I only recommend the use of therapeutic grade essential oils for your pets because therapeutic grade  essential oils have been tested to guarantee that they are free of synthetics, additives, toxins and any other impurities, which can result in side effects and/or inconsistent results. Essential oils and supplements are recommendations to help boost the pet’s immune system.
I recommend that clients continue to see their pet’s regular veterinarian and follow their advice and my work is a complement to regular allopathic medicine.  My spiritual energy work is not a substitute for conventional medical diagnosis or treatment for any medical or psychological condition.  For such issues, you should seek the proper licensed veterinarian.  I am a Healing Touch for Animals Practitioner and a Subtle Energy Practitioner and my work is spiritually and energetically based and I believe all healing is spiritual in nature. I do not make any promises, warranties or guarantees about results of my work, or of the energy sessions.  The energy sessions help many animals but like any energy work  it might not work for everyone.  The use of essential oils, herbs and supplements is to assist the pet with balancing chakra centers for proper energy flow or chi.
