What's In Those Vaccines'

Well, aside from the live or dead virus, most people would be

shocked and horrified to learn what else is included in those
"safe" shots.

For example, did you know that vaccinations (for both animals
AND humans - yes, these poisons are being injected into your
children too) contain Thimerosal, which is made up of ethyl
mercury. This is a highly toxic metal that affects the neurological
system in all animals. It can also affect the immune system, motor
coordination, increase behavioral dysfunctions, and appears to be
linked to autism in humans.

Here's an eye opener. Uranium is the most poisonous substance known
to man... mercury comes in second. Once it enters the body through
ingestion, injection or inhalation, it continues to accumulate.
In other words, human and animal bodies cannot easily clear mercury
from their systems.

Aluminum is another toxic metal found in vaccinations, which
many of us know has been linked to Alzheimer's.

Formaldehyde is used as a preservative and a tissue fixative.
Think about that for a moment. Formaldehyde is used to preserve
dead bodies before burial! Makes you wonder why they bother to
use it after we're dead. After all, both us and our pets should
be more than adequately preserved by the time we pass on with all
the vaccines we get.

How about Ethylene Glycol' In other words - antifreeze! This
ingredient is known to cause kidney and liver failure and
can prove fatal if swallowed.

We've all heard of Borax (sodium tetra borate decahyrate). Some
people use it in their laundry. For the record, Borax is a
pesticide included in ant killer. Guess where else it's used'

These are just some of the poisons added to vaccinations. The
list goes on. In fact, there are approximately 25 known additives
included in vaccines for animals.

What Are The Alternatives To Vaccinations'

Up until recently, there have been relatively few alternatives
in vaccinating your dog. In fact, it is the law in many
countries that animals must have routine vaccinations, especially
rabies shots for animals that are traveling or if you wish to board
them in a kennel or veterinary hospital. However, alternatives are
starting to appear and some veterinarians are beginning to
question the validity of yearly vaccinations.

With the increase in awareness over homeopathic alternatives
in medicines, many people are turning to the safer and, in
some cases, more effective treatment of using homeopathic
nosodes. Like regular vaccines, they are designed to sensitize
the body to a particular virus and are very effective in
preventing infections. Completely safe with no side effects,
they can be given to puppies quite safely and at a very early
age. In fact, these nosodes can be administered to the pregnant
mother so her babies are protected when born.

Homeopathic nosodes are easy to administer as they come in
pill or liquid form, as opposed to being injected like
traditional vaccines. The cost is also lower, saving you money.
However, there are limitations. Most countries, boarding
kennels and veterinary hospitals will not accept animals that
are given Lyssin (homeopathic rabies vaccine), although this
is slowly beginning to change with more and more homeopathic
veterinary hospitals and boarding kennels popping up across

the country.

What If Your Pet Is Exposed To a Virus'

If you know that your dog has been exposed to a virus, you
can help prevent the development of the disease by
administering nosodes immediately after exposure and before
the symptoms develop.

Viral diseases such as canine distemper and canine parvo virus
are basically incurable with traditional medical treatment,
however these viruses quickly respond to treatment from
homeopathic nosodes.

As all diseases are extremely serious in an animal, you should
always seek out professional medical treatment. If conventional
treatment doesn't appear to be working, do not hesitate to seek
out a homeopathic veterinarian for treatment. What's important is
the life of your pet, so seek any methods available that may help.
