Unconventional Wisdom For Naturally Healthy Animals
COVID-19: pretty sure I had it. It’s why I’ve been self-isolating for the past two weeks.
Now, it’s not everyday that a comedy special can spur you to make a video that might just help thousands suffering from an epidemic, but today that’s exactly what happened.
Oh, and I’m fine, thanks to a very common homeopathic remedy. But it was a comedy special that made me jump up and make a video for you to learn about that.
We’re in more than one health crisis in the U.S. right now, but the one most important to many of us is keeping homeopathy alive and well and available to all concerned with natural health. The Food and Drug Administration is very close to imposing rules on it that can make every single remedy, from Arnica to Zincum, a “new drug.” Effectively, this makes every remedy illegal, and so costly and impossible to “prove efficacy” by conventional drug standards that homeopathy could vanish this year.
I’m moved to share with you a representative response reported to me by one signer of the petition to the FDA to stop their nonsense.

What’s become obvious from the Congress and Senate responses is that most do not know enough about homeopathy to vote responsibly or voice their opposition to the current FDA Draft Guidance. [Read more…] about Educating the Lawmakers on Homeopathy
When your dog loses control and falls to the floor with a seizure, it’s a really scary time. Not only is she helpless, but she’s often grotesquely contorted, wild-eyed, and may be vocalizing in odd ways. At that point, you desperately want to do everything you can to help her right NOW.
Other than speaking in soothing tones with words of assurance and keeping her body from harm, there’s little you can do: when a seizure is over, it’s over. That’s usually less than 2-3 minutes, though it seems an eternity when you’re attending an animal in this state. [Read more…] about Seizures + MRI: Do You Really Need One?
Drugs. They are everywhere in our society, and busy ruining lives and lining the pockets of Big Pharma players. Antibiotics are one significant class of drugs. They are over prescribed and often wrongly prescribed and cause more harm than good in many cases.
I was schooled in them, of course. Vet students, like med students, are likely still taught that they have saved countless lives and are one our greatest discoveries, capable of saving humanity. At least until we’re overrun by the “superbugs,” but that’s another story.
Let me relay a personal story of why I’m a veterinarian who uses zero drugs. Since 1992.
As if it weren’t enough that the commonest drug prescribed for the man-made itchy allergies your dog suffers from (Apoquel) appears to have cancer as its chief side effect, now Big Pharma wants you to believe its your dog’s fault she’s dying of malignancy.
This is both disturbing and an insult to your intelligence.
Jennifer brought this to my attention as she related an all too common heartbreak following Apoquel’s immune system suppression:
Our cocker years ago was put on Apoquel when it first came out. She got cutaneous lymphoma which is actually rare in the breed. Now it has come out that if dogs are “predisposed” to getting cancer (they) can get cancer from the drug.
