Question by brittany: Is this article true about Annual Vaccinations for Dogs?
Please NO harsh comments!!!
This was an article that I came across, while doing some research, and I am completely alarmed, because i have NEVER heard of this before.
It is lengthy, but here is the article …

” As far back as 2003, there were reports that all 27 veterinary schools in North America were considering new guidelines in relation to annual vaccinations for pets. A new protocol was accepted, which acknowledged that the immune systems of both dogs and cats are fully mature by the age of 6 months. Therefore, if the animal is vaccinated after the age of 6 months, it results in immunity from the major diseases vaccinated against – parvo virus and distemper. If a further vaccination is given
a year later (the first of the so-called “annual vaccinations”), the antibodies from the first vaccine neutralize the antigens of the second vaccine and there is little or no effect.

Yes, you did read that correctly – little or no effect.

The guidelines went further, finding that not only are annual boosters for parvo and distemper unnecessary, they subject the pet to potential risks of allergic reactions and immune-mediated hemolytic anemia. Vaccinosis is a common term used for these types of reactions. It can occur in any animal. Animals that are most at risk of experiencing such reactions are those which were not in excellent health at the time of the vaccinations. Unhealthy animals should never be vaccinated.

But wait, there’s more (as the saying goes) … the guidelines went on to find that there is no scientific documentation to back up label claims for annual administration of MLV (modified live virus) accines. Yes, NO scientific documentation to support annual vaccinations!

Puppies receive antibodies through their mothers milk, which is active for the first 8 to 14 weeks of puppies’ lives. A series of vaccinations should be given starting at 8 weeks and given 3 to 4 weeks apart up to 16 weeks of age – so a maximum of 4 vaccinations between the ages of 8 and 16 weeks. A further vaccination given sometime after 6 months of age (usually at the age of 1 year 4 months) will then provide lifetime immunity.

Yes, lifetime immunity.

So why are we still being misled into believing that annual vaccinations for animals are required?

Why indeed. There are a combination of
reasons, including –

(a) ignorance on the part of vets (although as time goes on, there is less and less excuse for this kind of ignorance),

(b) unwillingness to trust pet owners to bring their pets in for an annual health checkup and using the spectre of “required” annual vaccinations as the means to get pet owners to bring their pets in,

(c) profits.

Will you succumb to the continued pressure to vaccinate your pet unnecessarily every year, or will you take a stand and advise your vet that you do not wish to vaccinate your pet any more. (Of course, you should always discuss the issue with your vet, as it is of great importance to have a vet you can work with in relation to the holistic health of your pet. Annual checkups are very important, and you never know when you’ll need to call on your vet if your pet is injured or gets sick).

If your vet will not support your decision not to vaccinate your adult dog or cat, then find a vet who will. Titer tests are an alternative that your vet may suggest, and you may wish to consider. Titers test the blood for antibodies, which can reassure you that a “booster” vaccination is not required.
Certainly there are laws which need to be changed – including the laws which currently govern boarding kennels in many areas, which require any animal boarded to be “up to date” with its annual
vaccinations. This is obviously a problem for people who need to board their pets. Some kennels will accept homeopathic vaccinations such as homeopathic distemper remedies and homeopathic kennel cough remedies, but many will not. ”
WOW!! I didn’t actually think there would be people who agree!! I thought I would be chewed out for posting such a thing!

Well, if this is seriously true, I’m glad I came across it.
Because now I know that anything past the 1yr and 4 month shots totally negate the whole set of shots given prior to that…and so on every year…

*** ok, so having learned that, RABIES is required, in my state anyway. in order for you to not have your dog taken away and for the dog to be “legal”

So, for Yearly Exams, the only necessary thing to do is: Dental Cleanings, Rabies Shot, and Physical Exam, with a HeartWorm and Fecal Check? ***

Yes. That’s why we no longer vaccinate.

Hi, well what homeopathy is “let likes cure likes” so i’ll start from where homepathy came from, Samuel Hahneman was the founder of homeopathy in the late 18hundreds, where malaria was killing a lot of people, some people were being treated from the bark of a certain tree, so samuel who didnt have malaria took this medicine called chinchona and he discovered that he began to get the symptoms of a person who had malaria, through study he realised that something that can cause a certain state in a “well person” can also cure the same symptoms in a “sick person”. therefore “let likes cure likes” he then tested lots of plant and minerals on himself and family to see what sort of symptoms they got and that is where we get alot of the remedies we have today, in homeopathy symptoms are seen as the body trying to cure its self, unlike allopathy which treats the symptoms, homeopathy treats the “whole person”

on the weightloss thing, there is certain homeopathic treatments that could help but u would definatly have to see a registered homeopath to discover the very best remedy for you. here is a site to read a bit about homeopathy and weight loss

Pilates Exercise Equipment Options Available For This Exercise

Many people find the benefits of doing pilates when it comes to fitness aside from being an effective flexibility and toning. Another benefit of this exercise is how it can be done on different locations. You can do it at home for privacy or have it in a class together with your friends. Pilates exercise equipment is also available in doing this program but it’s not bulky unlike what other exercise would require. All you need is a mat in order to do the program properly. But just like other equipments, you’ll find these mats to match the ones you’re looking for because you’ll find different mat designs that will meet your preferences so you’ll enjoy doing pilates more than the usual.

Another pilates exercise equipment that you can get is a fitness circle or also known as magic circles. The good thing about these rings is they can provide you an additional activity for better intensity training for fitness. Basically, these rings are made from flexible rubber which is the main source of the resistance training you can do while working out with pilates. These rings are very durable so you’ll not worry about it being a problem as you workout. This type of ring may also be made from metal so you have other options in using this. Joseph Pilates invented these rings to provide a variation in working out as they also come in different types in terms of their diameter. Their diameters can vary from 15 inches and padded to provide comfort with every use.

If you’ll look at typical pilates videos, you’ll see that many of them utilize pilates exercise equipment on their classes. There are also the exercise balls that can be used in a wide array of exercises. Their main purpose is to get your strength from your inner ability without using other equipments while keeping your balance. This increases the intensity of your pilates program so you’ll get better results in increasing your muscular strength. As long as these equipments are used, people will get the most out of their pilates program apart from its regular benefit
