Please…everyone take the time to view the following links. We have been sold a bill of good long enough and it's about time to speak up. Cancer, epilepsy, Auto immune disease, allergies, chronic ear infections and simple things like itching skin can and are related to vaccines yet vets will deny any association with vaccines even though studies prove differently.. It's healthy immune system that protects your pet from deadly disease, which can't be obtained when we administer unnecessary vaccines, poisons like Heartworm meds/Flea Tick control, when products such as http://www.bugrepel.com are a much safer alternative Quit being intimidated by vets that all of this is necessary. It's a billon dollar pharmaceutical business at the expense of your much loved pet! As noted below…pending legislation in the state of Maine for vets to disclose to patients the hazards and risks associated with vaccine BEFORE administering vaccines so you can make a more informed decision needs to be law. Once you have been provided the information then you can make your own personal decision. All vaccines are optional expect rabies vaccines and there are ways to get around that if you wish How many of you had your vet tells you all the risks associated with the vaccines prior to administering vaccines? Did your vet administer vaccines even though your pup had worms or parasites or itchy ears or other thing your pet may have been dealing with at the time? Do you know that the vaccine manufactures explicitly state DO NOT administer Vaccines unless the pet is Healthy? That's means.totally healthy and NOT having any other issues that the body is trying to deal with….even something as simple as itching skin OK…enough said…read on NBC Video..

It has been ten years since the article first appeared in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association entitled “Are we Vaccinating too much?” in which and Dr Ron Schultz stated, ”Clients are paying for something with no effect except the risk of an adverse reaction”. Since that time the American Veterinary Medical Association, the American Association of Feline Practitioners, and the American Animal Hospital Association as well as twenty- two schools of Veterinary Medicine in the U.S. have endorsed reductions in the numbers and frequency of vaccinations recommended for pets. More and more research has confirmed that most vaccines are unnecessary and potentially harmful. And yet 90% of the Veterinarians in the United States have ignored these guidelines, and continue to give vaccines, which have been proven to be unnecessary and potentially harmful. Vaccines are a BIG business and profits for veterinarians…no wonder many choose to ignore the warnings. It's a shame that it may take a lawsuit to wake them up View other info from Dogs Adverse Reactions Web site http://www.dogsadversereactions.com Petition for safer vaccinations for companion animals (read some of the signature from people whose pet died from vaccines) http://www.petitiononline.com/petvax23/petition.html Pending legislation Important vaccine legislation is pending in Maine which is the FIRST IN THE NATION and will require veterinarians to provide vaccine disclosure forms to pet owners BEFORE they vaccinate their animals. The bill, LD 429, An Act to Require Veterinarians to Provide Vaccine Disclosure Forms (http://www.mainelegislature.org/legis/bills/billtexts/LD042901- 1.asp) has been introduced by Representative Peter Rines of Wiscasset and has been vigorously opposed by the Maine Veterinary Medical Association and its members at the public hearing on Thursday, February 28th. If this legislation passes, it is only a matter of time before other states follow suit. Already pet owners in CT, PA, FL, MO, MN and TX are going to ask their legislators to file similar bills, and AB263 is currently pending in Nevada Anyone wishing to join the Yahoo discussion group “Truth About Vaccines' May request membership at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TruthAboutVaccines/ Many questions can be answers by searching the archives to get over your fear of not vaccinating.
