BIG Drug Companies take over VETS

Re: BIG Drug Companies take over VETS

//////////////////////////////////////////////

Good morning fellow loyal readers!

I am in a last minute cosmetic touch up and cleaning
frenzy- I am having an Open House to sell my Home on
Saturday.

Thanks to ALL of you who took part in my 7 DAY Everything
but the Kitchen Sink SALE..I'll be responding to your questions
this week.

As for news, a reader sent me a link to this very informative
story- on The Decline of our pet's health as the BIG
Drug Companies take over Veterinary Medicine...

Big Pharma takes over veterinary medicine; dogs and cats drugged
with chemicals for profit

Mike Adams of www.naturalnews.com

Big Pharma has successfully completed its takeover of
veterinary medicine in the United States and other first-
world nations. Knowing that massive profits could be
generated through the bodies of pets, drug companies
have spent two decades pursuing an aggressive campaign
of rewriting vet school curricula, influencing
veterinarians and brainwashing pet owners into
thinking their dogs, cats and horses need drugs
in order to be healthy. It was an easy sell: Most
consumers already demonstrate a cult-like belief
in pharmaceutical medicine thanks to a barrage of
direct-to-consumer advertising funded by deep-pocketed
drug companies, and it was only a minor shift to get
them to believe animals need synthetic chemicals in
their bodies, too.

So today, the majority of veterinarians in the United States
now practice chemical-based medicine on pets. At the first
sign of any health symptom, they slap the animal with a
prescription for expensive, patented pharmaceuticals.
Arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, cancer and even
depression are now being treated with dangerous
prescription medications. Earlier this year, the FDA
gave approval for Prozac, a powerful mind-altering drug,
to be prescribed to dogs, and many of the most common
drugs for people are now routinely used in pets
(including chemotherapy drugs for cancer treatment).

(What's next, Ritalin for puppies? Ten years ago,
it would have seemed absurd to diagnose a dog as
suffering from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity
Disorder, but today, it's no more insane than
the mass diagnosis of human children with this
utterly fictitious disease designed to do one thing:
Sell profitable amphetamine drugs to children...)

Pet health is now in rapid decline

The result of all this is that our dogs and cats are
sicker than ever. Ask any vet who's been practicing
for more than ten years: They've never seen such an
increase in the rate of liver disease, nervous system
disorders, cancers and diabetes. Ever wonder why? It's
because pets are being routinely poisoned with pet food
and pet medicine. Popular anti-flea and anti-tick medications,
all by themselves, are so toxic to the liver of any animal
that if they were prescribed to humans, their side effects
would make the Vioxx fiasco look like a harmless prank.

The idea of actually feeding your dog such high doses of
poison that it ends up in the skin tissues where it kills
ticks and fleas should be horrifying to any intelligent
pet owner, yet most pet owners just buy what their vet
tells them to buy, and they feed one chemical after
another to their pets, oblivious to the fact that they're
actually poisoning them. (And then they wonder why their
animals die of cancer a few years later... gee, didn't
anybody connect the dots here?)

Thanks to Big Pharma influence, veterinary medicine today
has become just as much of a joke as the conventional
medical system used to treat humans. The goal is no
longer to actually heal anyone, but rather to
profits by treating and managing diseases without
curing or preventing them. Many vets have figured this
out, too: If they treat the animals with pharmaceuticals
instead of actually curing them of disease (or preventing
disease), they benefit from lucrative repeat business!
And some of the fees charged by vets now -- especially
in emergency veterinary care -- are just as outrageous
as fees charged to sick humans in hospitals. I once
spent more than $1,000 for a single day of treatment
trying to rescue a sick dog, and half of those fees
were for bags of saline solution dripped through an IV.
$500 for saline solution? Give me a break. I got
ripped off and taken advantage of by a pet care
clinic that was exploiting pet emergencies for
maximum profits. (There are crooks and dishonest
practitioners in the pet care industry just like
in the people care industry.)

Holistic animal care practitioners

It's not all bad news, though. Fortunately, there are
more holistic practitioners in veterinary medicine than
in human medicine, and it's fairly easy to find a holistic
vet in any major city if you look around. The holistic
veterinarians understand nutrition, herbs, homeopathy
and other natural modalities. They prescribe solutions
and treat animals in ways that are outlawed in human
medicine (because they actually work). If you care at
all about the health of your pets, I strongly urge you
to seek out and work with a holistic pet care practitioner
who avoids prescribing pharmaceuticals. Any veterinarian
who thinks Fido is depressed and needs antidepressant
drugs should frankly have their licensed stripped away a
nd be banished to some distant, isolated South Pacific
island overpopulated with sexually aggressive baboons.

The future looks dim for mainstream pet health

When you look at the outrageous toxicity of mainstream pet food,
and you combine that with the chemical burden of pharmaceutical
medicine, the future of health for pets in America looks rather
dim. The pet food being sold at stores -- even the so-called
"scientific" brands -- are mostly crap. Only specialty pet
food companies offer genuine food. (My favorites are www.Azmira.
com and www.TheHonestKitchen.com ).

The way pets are being treated today by many mainstream veterinarians
amounts to nothing less than the chemical abuse of dogs and
cats by an industry that has, sadly, exchanged ethics for
profits and no longer sees its primary mission as helping
improve the quality of life of our animal friends. Personally,
I'm outraged by the practice of drugging dogs, cats and other
animals with synthetic chemicals to treat degenerative health
conditions, and I think those who promote or follow such
practices are engaged in extremely unethical, cruel behaviors
that should be criminalized. Just like in the human health
care system, nutrition has been thrown out the window and is
now replaced with a system of chemical invasion that can only
lead to a worsening of the long-term health of the animals
exposed to such dangerous treatments.

The proper use of pharmaceuticals

Some chemical medicines do have a limited role in quality
veterinary care, however. Painkillers have a useful but
narrow role. Antibiotics, although they are widely abused,
can be helpful in certain limited situations. But treating
dogs with antidepressants, chemotherapy, diabetes drugs,
statin drugs, osteoporosis drugs and other such chemical
agents is patently absurd. Most pet health conditions can
be easily prevented or cured with good nutrition, and more
challenging health problems can be cheaply and safely solved
with herbal therapies and other naturopathic modalities.
There is no scientifically justifiable role in veterinary
medicine for the majority of the pharmaceuticals now being
pushed onto vets, vet techs, and pet owners.

Even the pet shelters are being influenced by Big Pharma.
When I rescued my pet from a local animal shelter, I was
given a DVD sponsored by a drug company. It offered to
teach me about pet behavior while brainwashing me into
thinking I needed to give my dog toxic pills for preventing
ticks and fleas. As this simple example demonstrates,
even the animal shelters are now in bed with Big Pharma.
There's almost no organization in pet health today that
hasn't been taken over (or strongly influenced) by Big Pharma.

It's not enough to drug all the sick people in the world, you
see. Big Pharma has to invent diseases and drug all the healthy
people, too. And then, they have to drug all the children and
infants to make sure those little beings are set up for future
organ failure, which is even more lucrative for the drug companies
later on. And just to drive yet more profits home, they've got
to drug all the animals. Now the cats, dogs, horses, birds,
lizards and other animals are no longer safe from the reach
of Big Pharma. Drugs are posing a serious chemical threat
to the health of pets.

There is almost no living creature left on this planet that
hasn't been considered a potential revenue source by Big
Pharma, and if they could make money drugging all the
fish in the ocean, you can bet they'd come up with a
fictitious fish disease and find a way to drop little
fish pills into the oceans of the world. Profit is the
purpose. Health is irrelevant. And your precious pet
is only seen as a vehicle for generating profits by an
industry that has zero compassion for living beings
(human, canine, feline or otherwise). There is no
effort to protect life. It is only an effort to protect
(and expand) profits.

What you can do right now

If you're a pet owner, I urge you to do two things right now:

1) Switch to a healthy, natural, holistic pet food. Read the
report, Pet Food Ingredients Revealed to learn the truth about
pet food ingredients. And make fresh meals from scratch whenever
possible. Pets should not be raised to live on processed foods.

2) Fire your drug-pushing vet and switch to a holistic or naturopathic
animal care expert, even if they don't have the same licensing
credentials as the drug-pushing vet. State authorities, you see,
are trying to de-license naturopathic vets, and there's a big
effort now to push naturopathic vets out of the industry. Sometimes
you have to seek them out yourself and ignore state licensing
boards (which are totally owned by Big Pharma, by the way).
I've found that licensing credentials are essentially useless,
and the more credentials some vet has, the more deeply they're
brainwashed into a pharmaceutical approach to veterinary medicine.

If you want a healthy pet, you've got to get back to basics: Nutrition,
exercise, disease prevention and natural remedies. There is absolutely
no rationale that justifies the routine chemical treatment of pets
with patented, high-profit pharmaceuticals. Mainstream veterinary
medicine, as practiced today, is a cruel, exploitive industry
that ultimate causes significant harm to the very animals we
should be trying to save.

Don't be suckered by the "miracle pill" sales pitch. Dogs, cats
and horses don't need meds. What they need is great nutrition
and medicine from nature.

Just like people.

//////////////////////////////////////////////

P.S. I agree with Mike Adams' assesment of the state of our dogs and
cats, but I wanted to add a few more things.

1. Take matters into your OWN hands. Whether or not you use
a holistic Vet- QUESTION their advice..then be AWARE of ALL of
the treatment options.

2. Get yourself educated on Natural Pet Health Care.
You can go to school or take the much easier option
and use some of my Books and Courses.

3. Vary your pet's diet- some Raw, some Home-Made and
Kibble. Add in a QUALITY supplement.

4. SPEND time being WITH your Dog and Cat. We all to often
forget the more important mental aspect of health..

5. The Vaccine thing again..as LITTLE as INFREQUENTLY as
possible!!

It's Your Pet- Heal Them At Home!

BURNS

BURNS
Speaking of TLC, Lewis my dog unfortunately
burned his paw on a spark that flew out of
a fire.

It was very tender, and somewhat painful,
so I used some of the Remedies in my book:

http://www.petfirstaidsecrets.com

FLUSH WITH COOL WATER. Run cold water over the affected
area or apply cold packs for up to 15 minutes or until
the body part has returned to normal temperature. The
flowing cool water will help prevent additional tissue
damage; burns continue to cause damage after the initial injury.

CLIP IT. If not on the pad, remove the fur. Use clippers
or blunt scissors to remove the fur around the burn.
Burns often become infected, so now you are treating
it like you would an abscess.

WASH IT. Use an antiseptic cleanser, such as Germi-Stat,
and gently wipe the burn with the antiseptic, and rinse
with cool water. Do this twice daily for 5-7 days.

TOPICAL RELIEF. ALOE VERA is very helpful for speeding
up healing of burned tissue. Apply aloe directly from the
plant onto the wound twice daily for 3-5 days.

TOXIC PET FOOD

Toxic Pet Food

//////////////////////////////////////////////

Good morning everybody.

I watched a very interesting documentary on the Pet Food
Industry last night.

Here is a rundown on what was covered:

Do we really know what we're feeding our pets? In the Spring of 2007,
pet owners across North America were devastated when upwards of 50,000
of their beloved pet dogs and cats fell seriously ill after eating
tainted pet food. Many of the animals died. Menu Foods of Toronto,
the manufacturer, initiated the biggest recall of pet food in North
American history.

In the wake of the scandal, the trust pet food makers so carefully
nurtured with pet lovers has been severely shaken, and the $16 billion
dollar pet food industry has come under public scrutiny as never before.
Pet owners and governments are asking: Is pet food both nutritious,
and safe? Does it live up to the claims of its makers? Is the industry
adequately regulated?

Yap films' new documentary, PET FOOD: A DOG'S BREAKFAST, investigates,
and discovers that a 'dog's breakfast' may be just that.

This exposé takes viewers inside the world of pet food manufacturing
and is essential viewing for every pet owner.

PET FOOD: A DOG'S BREAKFAST features critics of the industry, foremost
among them Dr. Elizabeth Hodgkins, a California vet, and insider who
used to work in the pet food industry. She says the recall of food
made by Menu Foods of Toronto is a sign of larger problems.
"Unfortunately the pet food industry is cutting corners, is not
doing the testing it says it's doing, is not using the quality
of ingredients it wants pet owners to believe are in that bag
and can, and is not forthcoming with pet owners about those facts.
It is not a truthful industry."

PET FOOD: A DOG'S BREAKFAST profiles three pet owners who say their
pets have been made ill or died as a result of eating tainted food.
They are plaintiffs in class action lawsuits seeking to recover not
only money spent on vet bills, but also compensation for the emotional
trauma they have suffered. One of the owners, Jovanna Kovacevic of
Toronto, says, "You get very close to a cat. It's not just an
animal, it's a member of your family. One of her cats died after
eating food that was later recalled. Another is still sick and
needs ongoing, and ruinously expensive, veterinary care. "It's
not my fault", she says, "so you want them to pay for their mistakes.
You're angry."

As Vancouver class action lawyer Lucianna Brasil explains, the
claim for emotional damages indicates how our view of pets has
changed over the past decades. Animals used to be thought of as
companions. Now they are more like members of the family - like
substitute children. In fact, about two thirds of pet owners are
childless. Even though under the current law, pets are considered
'property', the pet food industry strongly promotes the view that
pets are family members and markets its products on that basis.

Critics also say there is a big gap between how the companies want
consumers to perceive their product and what it actually is. Pet
food commercials and labels show fetchingly presented ingredients
that humans would be happy to eat. The pet food industry often
refers to its products as "human grade'. But Elizabeth Hodgkins
says this kind of marketing is misleading. "I think many pet
owners would be very surprised to learn about the ingredients
that are actually going into the can or the bag of food that
they're feeding to their pet. They would be shocked." Hodgkins
goes into the kitchen to reveal the secrets of what's actually
in your pet's food and how it's made.

As seen in PET FOOD: A DOG'S BREAKFAST, there is a growing call
among consumer activists for greater regulation that will bring
the pet food industry to heel. Your pet's life may depend on it.

SUPPLEMENTS FOR PETS?

Re: Are SUPPLEMENTS pointless?

//////////////////////////////////////////////

One member asked..

" Hello Dr Jones. I have a dog who recently had a Mast Cell
Tumor Removed. I am wanting to give supplements to prevent this
from coming back. My local Vet says that supplements are pointless.
Any suggestions?"

Jennie G,
CA

Thanks for the Question Jennie, and for being a member!

I wanted to address this in 2 parts:

--------------------------------------------------
Supplements are POINTLESS?
--------------------------------------------------

That is the 'old' CONVENTIONAL thinking. Similar to how
many claim that Vaccines cause NO HARM.

There are thousands of Scientific Studies that BACK UP this-
SUPPLEMENTS are KEY to PREVENTING and TREATING many common
dog and cat diseases.

Here are 2 that have thousands of Scientic Studies to back them
up..OMEGA 3 FATTY ACIDS, plus GLUCOSAMINE HYDROCHLORIDE.

And then there are thousands IF NOT millions of Pet Guardians
which will back up these claims.

I use supplements on my own pets-

-------------------------------------------------------
SUPPLEMENTS are KEY to PREVENTING and TREATING Disease
-------------------------------------------------------

Then what about preventing Cancer from returning?

Fortunately there are a NUMBER of things that you can
do. In fact if I had been aware of this, I would have given

MANY of these supplements to my last dog Hoochie.

Here are some of my preferred supplements:

-----------------------
Here is What WORKS
-----------------------

Aloe and vitamin E. Gel. Cream.
Prevents production of chemicals needed for cancer growth.
Has produced remissions in some pets.

Astragalus capsules.
Generates anticancer cells in the body and boosts the immune system.

Bloodroot salve.
Irritates skin, causing scar tissue to surround carcinoma.

Selenium daily. Selenium greatly lowers the risk that existing
cancers will spread.

Turmeric contains curcumin, which prevents development of skin
cancer. This can be taken internally or applied to the area as a
poultice.

CHOKING PET

-------------------------------------------
What would you do if your pet was CHOKING?
-------------------------------------------

I woke up with my cat Cleo walking on my head-
and the NEED to share with you HOW to STOP
your pet from choking.

I have had 3 clients phone on EMERGENCY in a frantic
about their pets CHOKING.

Fortunately I was able to give them specific DIRECTIONS,
and ALL were able to STOP the Choking at HOME.

BUT..Do you know what to do?

If your dog or cat was choking NOW..WHAT would
you do FIRST?

Here is a SMALL SECTION from my book on Pet First Aid:

SIGNS

The signs of choking are much the same as a person. Your dog or
cat is struggling to breathe, with their mouth open. They may
be pawing at their mouth. They may be attempting to vomit.
You may hear an unusual sound as they attempt to breathe and
pull air through a foreign object lodged in their throat.

CAUSES

The causes of choking are with anything that can lodge in the
throat. This is fairly exclusive to dogs - cats are usually
more particular. An example would be a dog fetching a ball,
and having it lodge in their throat. A variety of food objects
can lodge in your pet's airway.

SOLUTIONS

CALL YOUR VET IF NEEDED. Dogs are notorious for trying to
swallow things that are a little too big. The result can be
choking where an object lodges in the airway.

REMOVE THE OBJECT. When time is of the essence, you must
act quickly.

Open your pet's mouth:

For a dog

* Open your pet's mouth
* Grasp the upper jaw with one hand over the muzzle.
* Press the lips over the upper teeth with your fingers
on one side and the thumb on the other so that the dog's
lips are between its teeth. Firm pressure may be required.
The dog then can't close its mouth without biting itself
and is less able to bite you. Pull his tongue out of the way.
* Reach deeply in to the back of your pet's throat and try to
grasp the object. If it is a ball, and you are unable to move
it, try using some type of instrument; tweezers, pliers or even
a spoon shaped tong.

For a cat

* Grasp the cat's head so that your palm is over the cat's eyes
and ears, and your thumb and index finger are behind the canine
(eye or fang) teeth.
* Tilt the cat's nose upwards. In most cases this causes the cat to
automatically relax the jaw muscles so that you can open the mouth easily
* You can then use the index finger of the opposite hand to gently
open the mouth. Place the fingertip on the lower incisors (the small
teeth between the canines) and gently push the lower jaw down.
* An alternative is to push your thumb and index finger of the hand
holding the cat's head towards each other. Some cats resent this more
and it is easier to get bitten but it does hold the mouth open while
the opposite hand is now completely free to hold tools etc.
* Examine the mouth and if you can see the object it may be possible to
remove it with your fingers, tweezers or small pliers immediately. Do
not attempt to remove a needle embedded in the roof of the mouth but
take your cat to your veterinarian.
* It may be possible to gently pull the tongue forward to gain better
access, but some cats will not allow this.

If this method does not work for extracting the object from your pet's throat,
try this technique. Lay your pet on its side. For small pets, place your palms
behind the last rib on both sides of your pet's abdomen and press your palms
together quickly 2 - 3 times. Repeat if necessary. For larger dogs, place both
hands behind the last rib and push down and slightly forward sharply. Repeat
rapidly until the object is dislodged

If you still can't remove the object and if your pet can breathe, transport
him to your veterinarian. However, if your pet can't breathe you must continue
to try to dislodge the object either by compression or by using the Heimlich,
as your pet is unlikely to survive the delay in reaching veterinary aid.

COMPRESSIONS. Gentle compressions on both sides of the widest point of the
chest may help dislodge a ball or other object. Place both hands at the
back of your pet over the widest point of the chest while he is standing,
and give 5 firm compressions to dislodge the ball.

HEIMLICH. If after trying to manually remove the object, and after gentle
compressions it won't move, and your pet is still not breathing, then
proceed with the Heimlich.

TURN your pet upside down, with his back against your chest.

WITH both arms, give sharp thrusts to the abdomen.

AFTER 5 thrusts, stop and check to see if the object is visible
in the airway. If so remove it and give 2 mouth-to-nose rescue
breaths. If the breaths do not go in, repeat HEIMLICH.

In some cases, your dog is too large to pick up. You can lay him
on his side, and make a fist. Put your fist into the hollow
beneath the rib cage, then push firmly inward and upward. Repeat
5 times, and then check to see if the object has been dislodged.

If after a few attempts it is still lodged, but you can still
hear wheezing and some noise when your pet is breathing, then
you have time to rush to your vet.

CPR. If your pet completely stops breathing, then you will have
to know the CPR steps.

After the airway has been opened, you may need to give artificial
respiration.

CLOSE your pet's mouth and breathe directly into his nose until
his chest expands. If the chest doesn't expand then go back to
STEP 2 - AIRWAY.

VENTILATE at 15 breaths per minute. One BREATH every 4 seconds.

PROCEED to STEP 4 - CIRCULATION

See: Section II CPR for the entire in-depth description of CPR.

HOME CARE

In some cases of choking, your pet's mouth has been injured.
This means feeding a soft food for 7-14 days while the wounds heal.

It's Your Pet- Heal Them At Home!

Best Wishes,

Dr. Andrew Jones, DVM

BONE LOSS STORY

I was vegetarian for many years. When I became vegan I experienced carpal tunnel feelings in my wrists and hands. I had to quit waitressing. Four years later, I became a raw fooder after a two week cleansing fast. I began misspelling words after two months on raw food. I went to a doctor, who hearing my diet gave me a bone density test. It turned out I had bone loss and I was only in my 30's. I went back to a vegan diet and immediately my spelling returned properly. It was probably detox I've heard from my veg friends. I eventually worked back to vegetarian diet, took 1,000 mg. of calcium but the pain in my wrists and hands continued and worsened. The bone loss worked its way into my left hip, and I began limping when I walked sporadically. I went back to a doctor who again found I had bone loss there. She put me on Actonyl, which makes the calcium absorb into the bones better. It worked! If I skip my weekly pill, then eventually the pain returns. I am so glad to have found this answer to my bone loss and pain problem. Another helpful thing is yam progesterone cream from the health food store. That helps lots with the pain as well. You just put it on whatever area is hurting. In a few hours or days the pain goes away. It may also help with bone loss, but I can't be certain. I can get a little sweaty from the hormones in it so I only use it sparingly when I forget to take the Actonyl or Fosomax.

TOMATOES STUFFED with Pinto Bean and Salsa Dip

INGREDIENTS
Plum or Roma Tomatoes ripe, pinto bean salsa dip
INGREDIENTS FOR PINTO BEAN SALSA DIP
1 - 15-oz. can Pinto Beans
1/2 cup Salsa, medium
2 tsp. Lemon Juice
1/2 tsp. Cilantro, dried
or
2 tbsp. Cilantro, fresh
Hot Pepper Sauce (to taste)
PREPARATION FOR DIP
Open the can of pinto beans and drain off the liquid. Place the drained beans and all the other ingredients into the container of a blender, cover, and run blender at high speed until smooth.

If your blender does not have a tamping rod, you may have to stop the blender once or twice and mix the ingredients with a spoon or spatula to ensure that all the ingredients are thoroughly mixed together.

Scoop the pinto bean dip out of the blender container into a serving (dip) bowl. This dip also makes an excellent topping for baked potatoes, as shown in the photo to the right.

PREPARATION FOR TOMATOES STUFFED WITH DIP
This is a great recipe for an appetizer, side dish, snack, or for use as a dinner plate garnish.
Wash the plum or Roma tomatoes, and cut in half lengthwise. Cut out the stem connection.
Using a small sharp knife or a grapefruit knife, hollow out the center of each tomato half, leaving the outer flesh and skin intact. We put the center part of the tomatoes in our salad.

Using a teaspoon, fill the cavity of each tomato half with the pinto bean and salsa dip.

Serve and enjoy!
