By Vet. Dr. Andrew Jones:
I practiced strictly conventional veterinary medicine, until something very tragic happened...

My dog died young, only 8-years old. He was a specimen of health, given a ton of attention, exercised three times a day, fed only veterinary food, given all his vaccines...




I asked myself... why?



I thought that he was incredibly healthy.

He didn't seem to feeling very good one day, so I did a blood test on him thinking he had a tooth infection. I quickly found out that he had a spleen tumor in an advanced stage.

I performed surgery on my own dog, removing the spleen tumor. But, it had spread to the liver, and I knew that he only had a short while to live.




How did an apparently healthy
mixed breed dog die so young?



I did all the "right" things - or so I thought. After grieving, I came to realize that I may have contributed to his death, because I believed only in conventional veterinary medicine.

It was very tough to acknowledge that I had played a role in him dying at too young of an age.

I came to question exactly what I did to my own pet - and what was I doing to other people's pets.

I came to realize that I and most other Veterinarians were not "getting it" - that in the process of trying to heal pets through technological advances, we were actually making them sicker!




There are 3 mistakes that I made
that contributed to Hoochie's early death...

...are you making these same mistakes?

[CorkyMax]

Mistake #1: Vaccines - Given Every Year

I gave Hoochie his combination of vaccines every year until he died. I advised pet owners to vaccinate their pets yearly, so I gave my own dog the same vaccines. The vaccines likely contributed to him developing spleen cancer.



"Recent vaccinations with single or combination modified live virus (MLV) vaccines are increasingly recognized contributors to immune-mediated blood diseases, bone marrow failure, organ dysfunction and cancer."

Dr. Jean Dodds, one of the world's foremost experts in canine vaccine reactions.




Mistake #2: Diet - He Was Fed An All-In-One "Complete" Veterinary Food

Hoochie was fed a Veterinary approved food exclusively, yet he developed Spleen cancer at the age of 8, and died shortly after. The "Bright Minds" in the pet food industry have created unwell pets, producing increasing incidences of diabetes, cancer and allergies.

The food that Hoochie ate was NOT naturally preserved. The unnatural preservatives played a role in the cancer.



"BHA and BHT are known to cause liver and kidney dysfunction and are banned in some European countries. Ethoxyquin is suspected of causing cancer, and that propylene glycol, another common pet food ingredient, causes the destruction of red blood cells."

Dr. Wendell O. Belfield, author of 'How to Have a Healthier Dog'.




Mistake #3: Conventional Medication - He Was On Anti-Inflammatories

Hoochie was showing signs of arthritis, so I had been giving him a conventional veterinary medication. He responded to the medication, but it likely played a role in damaging his organs, making him susceptible to cancer.

These are also known as Non Steroidal Anti-inflammatories or NSAIDs. Here is what Dr Stephen Sundlof of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has to say about them...



NSAIDs carry a risk of side effects, or adverse reactions. Most adverse reactions are mild, but some may be serious, especially if the drugs are not used according to labeled directions. Some reactions result in permanent damage or even death.

"It's important for pet owners to be aware of the risks and benefits of all drugs, including NSAIDs, so that they can make informed decisions about their pets' health care," says Sundlof. "Owners who give their dog NSAIDs need to know the side effects to watch for that indicate their pet needs medical attention."

The most common side effects from NSAIDs include vomiting, loss of appetite, depression, lethargy, and diarrhea. Serious side effects include gastrointestinal bleeding, ulcers, perforations, kidney damage, and liver problems.

Stephen F. Sundlof, D.V.M., Ph.D., Director of the Food and Drug Administration's Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM).




A very popular NSAID is Rimadyl. It has resulted in all the above reported side-effects, including death. In fact it was first created as a human anti-inflammatory product, but due to the incidence of serious liver side effects in clinical trials, it was pulled from the human market. The drug company, Pfizer, then brought it back to life in the pet industry.

It has caused a huge number of serious side effects in pets, including death. Here is what Chris Adams of the Wall Street Journal had to say...



Since Rimadyl's 1997 launch, the FDA has received reports of about 1,000 dogs that died or were put to sleep and 7,000 more that had bad reactions after taking the drug, records and official estimates indicate. The FDA says such events are significantly underreported.

Chris Adams, Wall Street Journal





"Yes, I as a knowledgeable veterinarian with 15 years of experience, contributed to my pet's death."



I truly believe that those were the 3 biggest factors in Hoochie getting cancer. NO, I can't prove it, as many of my colleagues like to say... but I have some pretty strong beliefs. Especially based on what I have seen with THOUSANDS of dogs and cats in Veterinary practice.

The Dog and Cat Health Crisis



In my 15 years of practice, I've noticed 2 new trends that are frankly downright disturbing...

It seems that every single year I'm asked to treat more and more pets for cancer, allergies, a lot more skin and gum disease, arthritis, kidney problems... and especially auto-immune diseases - diseases in which your pet's own immune system turns on them and begins attacking their healthy blood and skin.
It seems that on average, the dogs and cats that are being brought to me for serious diseases such as cancer an immune system disorders are much, much younger than ever before.
But don't just take my word for it. Here is what Dr. Michael Dym has to say.

The words of another respected Alternative Veterinary Practitioner...


Dr. Michael Dym, DVM: "Over the past 40 years and 17 generations of dogs and, cats we are seeing tremendous increases in chronic ill health in our pets that was rare back in the early 1960's. Most of these illnesses revolve around breakdown in our pets' immune systems, and include chronic skin/ear allergies, digestive upset, thyroid/adrenal/pancreatic disorders, seizures, gum/ teeth problems, degenerative arthritis, kidney/liver failure, and cancer across all ages and breeds.
We are also seeing a record number of behavioral and emotional disorders including alarming and unexplained fears/aggression, as well as difficulty focusing/training and paying attention. The two biggest factors in our pets' population health decline over these generations has been the severe overuse of multiple vaccines and nutrient poor and toxin filled commercial pet foods. We have also failed to address the underlying cause of disease by only suppressing symptoms with antibiotics, cortisone and related drugs, so the disease progresses and goes deeper."



So what can you do?



Well, it's up to YOU.



By the simple fact that you are reading this right now, I can tell that you have already made a commitment to your best friend to keep him or her healthy... and I commend you for that.

Now, I'd like to show you the fastest, easiest, and most effective way to do it:

Take charge of your pet's health.

Don't just let others make decisions for you.

Of course this vet is selling a book (cost of postage) to tell you about how to do this! My purpose of this posting is to let dog lovers be aware of the problems, etc. mentioned by Dr. Jones----but if you want to check out about this book---Will be right back with the web address.

CORKY/MAX:

I was involved with Dr. Jones website for a number of months. While I will agree that a lot of his information is good, I eventually got sick and tired of receiving an email from his company EVERY day, trying to induce me to buy something. Talk about the high pressure sales pitch!!!

At one time, I think he had the right idea and genuinely wanted to help animals and their people. However, his whole schtick very quickly turned into a massive money making organization. You can't click on anything concerning dogs on the net without being treated to yet another one of his sales pitches. As far as I'm concerned, he's gone way over the top. Eventually, I'd had enough and unsubscribed.

I just want people to be aware that subscribing to his site will result in you receiving daily emails attempting to flog stuff. With all of his "business interests", I'm frankly surprised that he has any time leftover to run his veterinary practice.
