    Dr. Bob Rogers, DVM  - "Veterinary Medicine has one of the best public images of any profession. Now for the first in our lifetime we face a difficult ethical challenge, that of revising our vaccination recommendations. We say light-heartedly that half of everything we learned in Vet School was wrong; we just don’t know which half. Although most Veterinarians enjoy a challenge, it is always difficult to make a transition from what we thought we knew and were comfortable with, to  new and less familiar ways of doing things. Most organizations like most people tend to resist change." more

    Dr. Bob Rogers, DVM is asking for your help in writing letters to lawmakers

    Dear Fellow Pet Lovers,

    I have created this e-mail list especially for people whom I hope will be willing to help me advocate for vaccination reform. I am asking for your help, in writing letters.

    As you know, I have asked the Texas State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners, who's duty it is to protect the public, to take a leadership role in
    stopping the common practice of administration of vaccinations which are unnecessary, provide no benefit for the pet, and are potentially harmful.
    They have repeatedly refused or have made suggestions which have been ineffective.  (See the complaint and open letter response in the library on my web site:  www.critteradvocacy.org ).

    I have taken this complaint to the Texas Sunset Commission, a commission of 12 State Senators and Representatives who over-see the State Veterinary Board. They have directed the Vet Board to take action to stop unnecessary vaccinations and will introduce legislation to address this.

    These Texas lawmakers have proposed legislation to prohibit unnecessary vaccines and reform the way DVMs obtain CE to avoid conflict of interests.
    Veterinarians in Texas are lobbying against this reform.

    I AM ASKING FOR YOUR HELP IN WRITING LETTERS TO THESE LAWMAKERS TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.
    It does not matter if you don't live in Texas.   << Letters MUST be received by these lawmakers by July 9th.>>  (click here for a sample letter)

    The proposed legislation, and a list of the law makers is on my web site (effective 6/28/04), along with a sample letter/petition I would like you to  sign and e-mail back to me. THESE EFFORTS CANNOT SUCCEED WITHOUT YOUR HELP. YOUR HELP IS VITAL.

    I have also posted on my web site (effective (6/28/04)), a link to my slide presentation, which reviews the literature to support reduced vaccination protocols.

    Please take a look and help me spread the word about this very informative slide presentation.

    Sincerely,

    Bob Rogers, DVM

    Vaccinosis: Chronic Disease Caused By Vaccines - In fall 1997, two influential professional magazines featured articles asking the question: Has the decrease of infectious diseases in childhood through the mass use of vaccines been replaced with an increase in chronic diseases such as diabetes and asthma? The Economist, a prestigious international magazine read by world leaders in government, business and public policy, and Science News, a magazine read by both health care professionals and the general public, explored the reported links between vaccines and chronic diseases in their November 22, 1997 issues.

    Homeopathy is noted for its success to antidote or remove the toxic effects of vaccines and to re-establish balance in the organism and restore health. Certain homeopathic remedies taken after vaccination can minimize vaccine damage. A professional homeopathic vet should be consulted for more information. more about homeopathy

    Dr. Smits MD - "Once the diagnosis of The Post-Vaccination Syndrome (PVS) is considered a simple and efficient treatment can restore health by giving the vaccinations that caused the disease in homeopathic potencies. Even severe damage as paralysis, epilepsy, general decline, etc. can partially or completely be restored."

    Homeopathy can be used successfully to prevent and treat smallpox, measles, whooping cough, chickenpox, and other ailments

    Dr. Will Falconer, DVM - "Most of the chronic diseases we commonly see in animals (and humans) have an immune basis, e.g. diabetes, allergies, asthma, thyroid disease, inflammatory bowel diseases, repeated ear infections, cancer, etc. While they can be cured through the careful use of homeopathy, the road to cure can be a long one -- often years if the animal has had years of disease.Transfer factors can significantly shorten the course, by giving a much needed balancing effect to the immune system. If the immune system is overactive as in allergies, ear infections, asthma, diabetes, or hypothyroidism, Transfer Factor can balance this overactivity so the system is not attacking its own organs, overreacting to things that shouldn’t be perceived as a threat. If, conversely, the immune system is under-active as in mange, parasites, viral infections, or cancer, Transfer Factor Plus can clearly stimulate it to better meet the challenges it needs to be alert to." About Dr. Falconer

    Dr. John Hanover, DVM -  "I incorporate acupuncture, chiropractic treatments and herbal formulas into my practice to give my patients the best available treatment. Herbs are preferable because they do not have the side effects or toxins that medications do and they sometimes work better. The Amazon Herb formulas are convenient, easy to use and safe. They are not drugs but are whole, concentrated foods so you do not have to worry about giving your pet too much."
