We don't want the risk of all the side effects that come from something that is not time tested. We don't vaccinate as it is because of side effects. I think we have a very good track record with Max being 18, and we have another 18 year old dog, as well as a 15 year old, a 12 year old and an 11 year old dog, and an 18 year old and 13 year old cat. All in good health, especially for their age.<br /><br />We have always cooked our own food for them - mostly organic, whole foods, biologically appropriate for their breeds, we don't use any chemicals in the house or on our property, we don't vaccinate - asside from puppy /kitten vaccinations, rather we titer to make sure there are enough anti-bodies in their system. They also get plenty of excercise!<br /><br />Max has never been ill until earlier this spring in his entire 18 years! So I think that's a pretty good track record. <br /><br />As an aside, we live near a number of research scientists who work for the National Institute of Health and Cancer Institute and they all research on ways to take tried and true natural remedies from Chinese Medicine, Indian Medicine, Andian Medicine and Mayan Medicine and even Egyptian Medicine / folk medicine and try to modify the ingredients so that they can be patented. Every single one of these scientists say that they have NEVER been able to create a remedy as strong and effective without any side effects like the original formula that they are working on! To me that says we're doing the right thing (at least for us).<br /><br />Not sure if you are familiar with Dr. Burzynski but this is a clinical trial we WOULD consider because what he has been doing has been proven for over 30 years to be effective. www.burzynskipatientgroup.org/ There is a documentary about what he's been doing if anyone is interested. It's very powerful!<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0ibsoqjPac<br /><br />In any event - we were very reluctant to do Cyberknife - it is radiation, but so far so good. <br /><br />Once this vaccination is time tested without any side effects, we may consider it.<br /><br />I'm not sure if you know, but the HPV vaccine that is supposed to help prevent cervical cancer that everyone ran out to get has been causing side effects...http://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/vaccines/hpv/gardasil.html It all sounds good at first but stuff like this really needs to be time tested to know if it is going to really work, or make something else worse.. The last thing I would want to do is make my sick pet even sicker. We will certainly keep an eye on LifeVax and watch to see results over the next number of yearsMaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11485743175818194254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7981679845488418999.post-42478432788569583952011-10-14T11:03:28.958-04:002011-10-14T11:03:28.958-04:00Hi, thanks for keeping up this blog. I wanted to ...Hi, thanks for keeping up this blog. I wanted to also suggest LifeVax since Max has brain tumors. The equivalent procedure in humans is in clinical trials by a venture company called Northwest Biotherapeutics, and it was being investigated in brain cancer. So far, the trial has doubled survival, and tripled time to recurrence of tumor. Since LifeVax was a veterinary application of the human procedure, it should be encouraging for brain cancer. I think they offer it at Mount Carmel Animal Hospital in Monkton, MD. Check it out on lifevax.com. Hope Max does well, regardless.jyoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06173079637319228112noreply@blogger.com
