"According to the World Health Organization,  "Health is more than the absence of disease.  Health is a state of optimal well-being."

"If you could choose to enjoy better health, would you be interested?   Does increased energy, greater enthusiasm, and an enhanced sense of well-being appeal to you?   How about a greater sense of joy?   The good news is, these things are possible for you.   Within yourself, you have the power you need to create wellness in your life.   That power is your power of choice.   Your health is your responsibility Many of us have been brought up to believe that our health depends solely on the quality of the healthcare we receive.   The truth is, your health is your responsibility.   You are the only person who can make the lifestyle decisions that contribute to your well-being." ~The American Holistic Health Association.

The American Holistic Health Association  (AHHA)  has developed this booklet to help you achieve wellness in your life.   It will answer some of the most commonly asked questions about the holistic approach to health and wellness and start you on your path to optimal well-being.

Modern pharmaceuticals such as antibiotics are very effective at symptom elimination of many diseases and are frequently prescribed in the "one size, one antibiotic fits all" theory.    Elimination of the SYMPTOM is NOT the same as elimination of the disease.   Masking or stoping the symptoms only drives the dis-ease deeper into your body making an eventual recovery or cure more difficult.   The Holistic approach treats the entire individual, whether human, dog, cat or horse and seeks to find the CAUSE of the illness.   Without knowing the cause, how can anything be cured?

Reclaiming optimal health requires you to stop putting the harmful things into your body that contributed or caused the problem to develop.  You may need to consider an organ cleanse to completely rid your body of all toxins.   Then supply your body with the needed nutrients to repair and rebuild itself and use your immune system to ignite your body's internal healing force and stimulates the body's natural abilities to heal itself.  Healing is a process and there aren't any instant pills to cure chronic problems.



Brandon Brooks, DVM  - "Many (if not most) Over The Counter (OTC) or non-prescription  flea control products are very toxic to cats and kittens- especially the ones only approved for use in dogs.   Many people mistakenly buy these for their pet (it's not always their fault, the companies that make them want you to buy it, they don't really care about the dangers involved) so it pays to be extra careful when buying flea control products."

The Poisons in Pet Food (kibble and canned food)

"Dogs, cats and other animals live for years on foods that come out of bags, cans and boxes.   But do these foods promote health?   If they did, our companion animals would enjoy long, happy lives free of arthritis, hip dysplasia, eye problems, ear problems, fleas and other parasites, gum disease, lick granulomas, thyroid imbalances, skin and coat problems, personality disorders, birth defects, breeding problems, diabetes, cancer and other major and minor illnesses.

Before World War II, most North Americans fed their pets raw bones and table scraps  . Today, everyone uses convenience foods, and pet food companies are industry giants.   Diet isn't the only thing that has changed.   So has life expectancy, with the life span of many breeds now less than half what it was two or three decades ago.   Skin and coat problems are so common that we accept them as unavoidable, and today's vets routinely treat conditions that used to be unusual or even rare."   William Pollak D.V.M.




"We are seeing disease conditions in animals that we did not see years ago.   Many of these may be traced to nutrition as the source..." Don E. Lundholm, DVM




Dr Wendell O. Belfield, D.V.M.   - "Their pets may have diarrhoea, increased flatulence, a dull hair coat, intermittent vomiting or prolonged scratching.   These are common symptoms associated with commercial pet foods."   In 1981, as Martin Zucker and I wrote How to Have a Healthier Dog, we discovered the full extent of negative effects that commercial pet food has on animals.

In February 1990, San Francisco Chronicle staff writer John Eckhouse went even further with an exposé entitled "How Dogs and Cats Get Recycled into Pet Food".

  Outcry Over Pets in Pet Food  by Stephanie Simon


The practice of  boiling down euthanized dogs and cats   for industrial fat and protein causes an uproar in St. Louis.   -- It started with footage of Blacky and Scoop, melt-your-heart dogs with no one to claim them, alone at the city pound--and due to be put to death within hours.   "No one wants them.   Alive, that is," the reporter said.

The film then cut to a rendering plant that boils down the city's euthanized dogs, along with dead pigs and cows from local farms and leftover bones, hooves and innards from slaughterhouses.    The end products are used to make cosmetics and fertilizer, gelatin and poultry feed, pharmaceuticals and pet food.

It was the pet food that got people.   The report last month by KMOV-TV's Jamie Allman--headlined  "What's Getting Into Your Pets" --suggested that dead dogs and cats from local shelters were ending up in kibble.   As proof, Allman aired footage of a tanker truck entering the rendering plant, a truck emblazoned with the motto "Serving the Pet Food Industry."   Pet Owners went nuts

    Read the REST of this shocking article




Note:   In February 1990, the San Francisco Chronicle carried a macabre two-part story detailing how stray dogs and cats and pound animals are routinely rounded up by meat renderers and ground up into -- of all things -- pet food.   According to Keith Wood, thc researcher who brought the information to the Chronicle, the paper buried the story and deleted many of the charges Wood had documented.    A report Wood worked on for ABC television's 20/20 was similarly watered down.

    The Dark Side Of Recycling.   By Keith Woods   Full article here

In exasperation, Wood brought his story to Earth Island Journal.   A warning to readers:   this report is not for the squeamish.




A RENDERING PLANT SOMEWHERE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA -- The rendering plant floor is piled high with "raw product".   Thousands of dead dogs and cats; heads and hooves from cattle, sheep, pigs and horses; whole skunks; rats and raccoons -- all waiting to be processed.   In the 90 degree heat, the piles of dead animals seem to have a life of their own as millions of maggots swarm over the carcasses.

Two bandanna-masked men begin operating Bobcat mini-dozers, loading the "raw" into a ten-foot deep stainless steel pit.   They are undocumonted workers from Mexico doing a dirty job.   A giant auger-grinder at the bottom of the pit begins to turn.   Popping bones and squeezing flesh are sounds from a nightmare you will never forget.

Rendering is the process of cooking raw animal material to remove the moisture and fat.   The rendering plant works like a giant kitchen.   The cooker, or "chef", blends the raw product in order to maintain a certain ratio between the carcasses of pets, livestock, poultry waste and supermarket rejects.    Once the mass is cut into small pieces, it is transported to another auger for fine shredding.   It is then cooked at 280 degrees for one hour.   The continuous batch cooking process goes on non-stop, 24 hours a day, seven days a week as meat is melted away from bones in the hot "soup".

During this cooking process, the "soup" produces a fat of yellow grease or tallow that rises to the top and is skimmed off.   The cooked meat and bone are sent to a hammermill press, which squeezes out the remaining moisture and pulverizes the product into a gritty powder.   Shaker screens sift out excess hair and large bone chips.   Once the batch is finished, all that is left is yellow grease, meat and   BONE MEAL.


Meaty Menu.  As the American Journal of Veterinary Research explains, the recycled meat and bone meal is used as "a source of protein and other nutrients in the diets of poultry and swine and in pet foods, with lesser amounts used in the feed of cattle and sheep.   Animal fat is also used in animal feeds as an energy source."   Every day, hundreds of rendering plants across the United States truck millions of tons of this "food enhancer" to poultry ranches, cattle feed lots, dairy and hog farms, fish feed plants and pet food manufacturers where it is mixed with other ingredients, to feed the billions of animals that   meat-eating humans,   in turn, will eat.




    "Food Not Fit For A King"by Wendell O. Belfield DVM  Published in the spring 1996 issue of Earth Island Journal



" Anyone who has accustomed himself to regard the life of any living creature as worthless is in danger of arriving also at the idea of worthless human lives."  - - Albert Schweitzer, MD, PhD (1875-1965, Philosopher, musician, theologian, Nobel laureate)

The most frequently asked question in my practice is:  "Which commercial pet food do you recommend?"   My standard answer is: "None."

I am certain that pet-owners notice changes in their animals after using different batches of the same brand of pet food.   Their pets may have diarrhea, increased flatulence, a dull hair coat, intermittent vomiting or prolonged scratching.   These are common symptoms associated with commercial pet foods.

In 1981, as Martin Zucker and I wrote How to Have a Healthier Dog, we discovered the full extent of negative effects that commercial pet food has on animals.   In February 1990, San Francisco Chronicle staff writer John Eckhouse went even further with an expose entitled   "How Dogs and Cats Get Recycled into Pet Food."






The best magazine we know of, totally devoted to animal health and wellness, try a subscription.


Considering how long this practice of euthanized "shelter" animals have been KNOWN to be included in commerical pet food, it casts a different shadow on understanding on WHY many shelters are so Pro kill.

There is a lot of revenue at stake, the sale of all the dead animals  (injected with toxic drugs to end their lives)   The profitable rendering business of turning discarded garbage into tasty commercial pet food.

When these dots are connected, it paints a picture as to  why shelters prefer killing.   Does this help clarify why our animals have such dismal health issues and die early?

What do YOU think?




    Food Pets Die For

From Publishers Weekly  Food Pets Die for:   Shocking Facts About Pet Food by Ann N. Martin was the first expos‚ of the shocking practices within the pet food manufacturing industry.   Since the book's publication in 1997, she has been calling attention to the dubious ingredients and methods employed by many firms.

xcerpt from page 2 "... declared unfit for human consumption, the carcass is acceptable for pet food.   Even parts of animals, such as  "stick marks," -the area of the body where animals have been injected with antibiotics, hormones, or other drugs-are cut from the carcasses intended for ..."




Why Is Cancer Killing Our Pets?

From Publishers Weekly
      In the U.S., cancer is the second leading cause of death in humans  (just behind doctors & hospitals )  but the number one killer of pets, primarily cats and dogs.   After losing four pets to four different forms of cancer, longtime journalist and animal lover Deborah Straw decided to investigate the matter further.

The result of her considerable and careful research is Why Is Cancer Killing Our Pets?:   How You Can Protect and Treat Your Animal Companion.   Without endorsing any particular form of care, but stressing the value of expert intervention, Straw discusses cancer prevention, traditional and alternative cancer treatments and how to cope with the loss of a pet to this relentless disease



Death after Proheart 6 shot - testimonials
  • So with him (the vet) saying this, I agreed to the ProHeart 6 injection along with his Rabies, Bordetella, DHLP-PARVO-CORONA.   When I picked Chaos up, the doctor told me that he was in good health and what a good natured dog, for being the breed he was.

    I really never noticed that Chaos was not feeling well, due to him being an outside pet.   On November 2, 2003, I noticed that he had not eaten his food.   I talked to him and pampered him and let him come in the house and he just laid around and acted sluggish.   I thought he was just enjoying being inside. On November 3, 2003, I noticed he did not eat again and when he tried to get up, his little back legs were shaking and I knew then he was sick.   My husband picked Chaos up and brought him back in the house.   But Chaos just laid there, and attempted to crawl to the door to get out.   This was happening at night and I called the emergency night clinic.   They told me I needed to bring him in.   By the time we got ready to take him in.... he was laying on his side.

    Chaos looked up at me and laid his little head down and died.   This was the first time he had ever had the PH6 injection.

    If only this veterinarian had read this letter, my precious Chaos would still be alive today.   This is not acceptable to me and I plan on filing a complaint against this veterinarian with the State Board. I encourage anyone that feels their veterinarian has not followed the instructions supplied to them by the manufacturer of this drug, to also do this.   It may help save other dogs lives.

    Read too many other sad testimonials and think of YOUR pet trusting in your judgment. Memorial to the Survivors and the Deceased


    Myra lost a perfectly healthy 6 yr old Shih tzu after Proheart 6 shot (heartworm prevention).   He started diarrhea and vomiting within 5 days of the Proheart 6, and over weeks continued digestive problems.   Her dog died.
  • Trouble received the ProHeart 6 shot on 8/20/02 in conjunction with other vaccinations.  He died on 10/17/02 (58 days) after the shot.   He was VERY healthy prior to the shot being given. 
  • Danny was a perfectly healthy five-year-old part Golden Retriever mix who was energetic and happy.   He died after receiving Proheart 6.
Manufacturer's Letter to Veterinarians Warns of Side Effects   A letter was sent to veterinarians by Fort Dodge, the manufacturer of ProHeart 6.   Amongst other issues, you will see just some of the known side effects of the medication.   This is an excerpt of the letter.  (I highlighted some sentences to emphasize the adverse reactions) Symptoms of Reactions

The following is listed for clinical field trials for NADA 141-189:

"Adverse Reactions:   The following potential adverse drug reactions (number of cases) were observed in the moxidectin injectable treatment group: vomiting (3), diarrhea (2), weight loss (2), listlessness (1), seizures (1), injection site pruritus (3), elevated body temperature (1). Injection site evaluations of the ProHeart 6 treated dogs revealed no abnormalities.

Two geriatric dogs with a history of weight loss after the initial ProHeart® 6 injection died within a month of the second 6-month injection.   A third dog who was underweight for its age and breed and who had a history of congenital problems experienced lethargy following the initial injection of ProHeart® 6.   The dog never recovered and died 3 months later.   Treatment with ProHeart® 6 could not be ruled out as contributing to these observations."

July 22, 2002

Dear Doctor:

Thank you for purchasing ProHeart 6 (moxidectin), Fort Dodge Animal Health's innovative product for six-month protection against heartworm infection in dogs.   The purpose of this letter is to provide you with some new information regarding a recently approved label indication for ProHeart 6, as well as a review of the adverse events that have been reported for the product during its introduction into the marketplace.   This update on the performance of ProHeart 6 reflects our desire to share information that has been learned about the product after its first year on the market.

Along with the new indication, a second label change will appear in the "Adverse Reactions" section of the product labeling, and is based on the reporting patterns received from the field.   With over six million doses of ProHeart 6 (moxidectin) sold during the first year, we have seen a number of reported reactions that were not seen in pre-approval clinical studies.   This is typical in cases of a new product after introduction to a wide population base.   Through our work with CVM, a new label statement has been approved for ProHeart 6 describing our post-approval experience.   The new statement being added is as follows: 

Post-Approval Experience: although not all adverse reactions are reported, the following reactions are based on voluntary post-approval drug experience reporting: anaphylaxis/toid reactions, depression/lethargy, urticaria, and head/facial edema.   As with anaphylaxis/toid reactions resulting from the use of other injectable products, standard therapeutic intervention should be initiated immediately.

Since introduction, we have received and tracked reports from practicing veterinarians regarding adverse events subsequent to the clinical use of Proheart 6. A review of these reports is presented below and includes events observed when ProHeart 6 was administered alone, as well as those observed when given with concurrent medications.   The numbers presented are unfiltered, as reported to CVM, which include observations subsequently determined to be unrelated to product administration.

During the first twelve months of product use, 105 reports of site reactions post administration (.0016% of doses sold into veterinary clinics) have been received.   These events are predominantly swelling, pain, and/or pruritos that are observed post administration.   The vast majority are self-limiting in nature, though selected cases have been treated with anti-inflammatories, and in some cases, antibiotics.

A total of 946 reports of allergic responses post administration (.015%) have been received.   As with vaccines, this category represents the most frequently reported event.   Most of these reactions are mild and have responded to standard medical intervention.   Some, however, have been more severe, including a small percentage of anaphylaxis cases. The most frequently reported effects have been vomiting and diarrhea, followed by angioedema and/or facial swelling, urticaria and gastrointestinal symptoms.   Other less common events include ataxia, weakness, dyspnea, pale mucous membranes, lethargy and fever.

A total of 685 reports of illness post administration (.011%) have also been received.   This category encompasses a wide variety of reports that are received in a broad timeframe  (from one day to several months)  post administration. There is overlap with the allergic events where both allergy and additional symptoms were recorded.   The most frequently reported signs have been vomiting and diarrhea at variable time frames post administration, seizures or other neurological signs and lethargy.   Other rare, but more serious reports, include erythema multiforme in 3 cases and autoimmune hemolytic anemia in a low number of patients, most of whom had received vaccines concurrently.

Full updated letter available here   As is the case when prescribing any medication, careful examination of the dog prior to administration, consideration of appropriate laboratory tests in dogs that may have chronic conditions, and advice to the owner to watch for signs of drug intolerance is good medical practice.   If a drug reaction or intolerance is suspected, examine the patient, provide the necessary supportive therapy, and contact Fort Dodge.  Animal Health Professional Services veterinarians at 1-800-533-8536.    Additional information including a copy of the product labeling

Testimonial from a victim of Proheart6


Subject: Dog's recover from Auto Immune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA)
Date: Sunday, October 12, 2003 
From: Dave Burrows in Eastbourne, United Kingdom mailto:slartibartfast@2cuk.co.uk

My dog Arnie had been given up on by the vet.   He had acute anaemia caused by his white blood cells killing his red ones and quite honestly we were making arrangements for his funeral.   After one week on natural remedies we noticed a dramatic improvement.   Three months later,  after finishing the entire course, Arnie is doing so well that he no longer needs anything special.   He now has so much energy on his new diet (James welbeloved) that we have to restrict his intake or we could be pulling him off the ceiling.

Happy Tails also experienced the effects of IMHA from a single rabies shot, which was further complicated with a single dose of steroids and the poor little adopted Rotti girl was fighting for her life, she subsequently developed Addison's.    When a dog has IMHA there isn't much time, they go rapidly down hill, grow steadily weaker and many lose their lives within a few short weeks.   IMHA frequently happens right after a rabies vaccination.   Fortunately Stella's life was saved by using various holistic remedies including herbs, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Homeopathy.  Now her mom will never be intimidated into any vaccination again, and all vets, make that all ethical and informed vets can write exemption letters for Rabies or any other vaccinations.   Stella is happy, alive, healthy, enjoys luscious cooked and raw organic meats and veggies that her mom is happy to prepare..  What a shame, the heartbreak, stress and agony could have been avoided had it not been for that single almost deadly shot.
Note: AIHA Canine autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) is a disease characterized by increased destruction of red blood cells  (erythrocytes)  by the dog's own immune system.  This was the disease one of our adopted Rotts got after a single rabies vaccine.  She survived and is now thriving in spite of modern medicine.


Dr. Rob Robertson, M.D writes "Nearly everything that goes wrong with us and our pets, with the exception of trauma - i.e. broken bones, etc., can be traced directly to an immune system failure".  Pollution, drug overload and nutrient-poor diets compromise our immune health.   The key to self-healing is a strong defense system, which protects dogs and cats from everything from the flu germs to cancer cells.  More than their mainstream counterparts, holistic veterinarians believe that a weak immune system plays a key role in causing disease.  Drugs aren't the answer for immune enhancement.   The immune system is not responsive to drugs for healing.   Antibiotics fight infection, but they don't affect whatever weakened the immune system in the first place.  This is why holistic veterinarians focus less on things that cause diseases and more on those that affect the body's defenses"


Insecticides Associated with Bladder Cancer in Dogs - A statistically significant association between exposure to topical flea and tick dips, and the occurrence of bladder cancer in dogs has been found.   The risk of bladder cancer was increased further in dogs living in proximity to areas sprayed regularly with insecticides for mosquitoes.   An increased rate of bladder cancer in humans has recently been reported  (Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, 1989(28):  407-414). 

Insecticides and Feline Hyperthyroidism - Since the early 1980s, increasing numbers of cats have been found with hyperthyroidism, enlarged thyroid glands and high levels of thyroid hormone in the blood.   Cats which were regularly treated with flea powders and sprays, and were also exposed to lawn pesticides, have been found more likely to have hyperthyroidism.  A higher level of canned cat food in the diet was also an increased risk factor (Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 1988(6): 295-309).   Thyroid enlargement has been seen in Great Lakes fish and in rodents fed on these fish.   This has been attributed to pesticides and other contaminants in the lake water  (Advances in Modern Toxicology, 1992(XXl): 129-145).

Flea Control Product WARNING for Cat & Dog Households!

Pets as Sentinels of Pesticide Toxicity  


Rachel Carson described the detrimental effects of pesticides on animals including robins, caddis fly larvae, quail, salmon, and cats. Silent Spring shows clearly how deeply caring and fiercely protective Rachel Carson was of wildlife.   Her concern extended to pet animals as well.   Pesticide residues in our food and in the environment reflect years of chemical production and use.   We face the continuing problems of the toxic by-products of manufacturing, runoff from outdoor applications, ground water contamination, and finally disposal of unused material as hazardous waste.   Pesticides are used in virtually all public buildings, golf courses, schools, restaurants, hotels, hospitals and private homes as well as in agriculture and forestry. Rachel Carson's Silent Spring warned us of the threats to life attending widespread use of chemical pesticides.   As a result of her effort the EPA was founded in 1970 and DDT was banned in 1972.

Silent Spring

Amazon.com Review:   Silent Spring, released in 1962, offered the first shattering look at widespread ecological degradation and touched off an environmental awareness that still exists.   Rachel Carson's book focused on the poisonsfrom insecticides, weed killers, and other common products as well as the use of sprays in agriculture, a practice that led to dangerous chemicals to the food source.   Carson argued that those chemicals were more dangerous than radiation and that for the first time in history, humans were exposed to chemicals that stayed in their systems from birth to death.   Presented with thorough documentation, the book opened more than a few eyes about the dangers of the modern world and stands today as a landmark work.





Herbicide and Increased Cancer Risk

Lymphosarcoma, a cancer in dogs, has been associated with exposure to the herbicide 2,4-D.   People also have been found to have increased cancer risks from contact with 2,4-D  (Journal of the National Cancer Institute, 1991(83) #17: 1226-1231). This herbicide was a component of Agent Orange, and is the active ingredient in many herbicide products on the market.   Please consider this when selecting "lawn care" products.  The skin is your largest organ and soaks up toxins like a sponge, bare feet or paws on poisoned lawns?


Brandon Brooks, DVM   - "Many (if not most) Over The Counter (OTC) or non-prescription  flea control products are very toxic to cats and kittens- especially the ones only approved for use in dogs.   Many people mistakenly buy these for their pet (it's not always their fault, the companies that make them want you to buy it, they don't really care about the dangers involved) so it pays to be extra careful when buying flea control products."

Brandon Brooks, DVM is the former Staff Veterinarian, AsktheVet News Forum   According to Dr. Brooks, even though the cat or kitten does not have the OTC flea control product directly applied to it, the cat or kitten may still become ill through indirect exposure if it is applied to a dog in the household, household furnishings, bedding, etc.. Also, many OTC dog flea control products are not only toxic to cats, but dogs as well.



"Hartz Mountain Company is currently manufacturing and distributing a pet product specifically intended for cats that is highly toxic and dangerous.   Following is a detailed explanation of events that have prompted my recommendation that this product (Hartz Advanced Care Brand Flea & Tick Drops for Cats Weighing Over 10 Lbs.) be recalled immediately, and extensively investigated by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)."



Advantage  Flea product:   how safe or how toxic is it?

  •  Read the full testimonial   Mary Ann    lost her beloved bearded collie 'Kaimen' as a result of using Advantage Flea Drops.   "Advantage flea drops were recomended by my veteranarian to control Kaimens flea problems.   The drops were placed on the back of his head in the nape of the neck. After using Advantage for 13 months a growth the size of a golf ball emerged in that very same spot where the Advantage flea drop were placed.   The growth was made of a grey colored flesh with a putrid odor.   A purulent putrid liquid oozed out of it.   Kaimen was taking to the vet,  where I learned more about the growth and just how deadly Advantage is to our pets.   The pesticide that is used in Advantage is called lmidacloprid and should NOT be absorbed through the skin.   I learned that dogs and rats who were used to test this pesticide developped thyroid cancer and it affected their appetite.

    My dog Kaimen died at the age of two as a resuslt of using Advantage which caused  a tumerous cancer to develop in his neck and which metastasized in his brain.   I sent Bayer, the maker of Advantage, a letter with a return receipt but they never bothered to reply to my letter."

    Please also do a search about Hartz Flea drops,many lawsuits out there over that product.   I learned my lesson,I will never use such a horrible flea nuero -toxin on any of my pets ever again.   How sad this continues on.

    Please if you feel you have no other choice but to Flea Dip a pet,watch for excessive salivation and dilated pupils,it is a sign of toxic shock setting in,please rinse that stuff off and do not leave it on like the manufacturer suggests. Warmest Regards to all of you pet owners.




POISON FOR PROFIT   CHEM/PHARM HAS NO EQUAL - WHAT A BUSINESS PLAN!  by Ashley Simmons Hotz

May 15, 2002 - The huge transnational companies that produce toxic chemicals found in pesticides, herbicides and industrial and household products profit not only from the sale of these products, but also from the symptoms and chronic illnesses that they can trigger.

The vast majority of chemicals found in pesticides and other products, undergo little or no testing for chronic, low level exposures and for chronic health effects.   The same chemical companies that produce toxic chemicals also produce prescription drugs, veterinary medicines, a wide array of medical products and imaging technologies, hold cancer treatment and medical device patents, and a produce a staggering assortment of over-the-counter palliatives.

Families with toxin induced illnesses often spend large sums for drugs and medical treatment.   This circle of profit is not conspiracy theory, but an easily provable fact.  Learn More about the  Circle of Profit

Below are chem/pharm web sites for the largest companies in the world.   There you can see quickly and clearly that these companies profit from all sides of the picture.

Aventis was launched in December 1999 through the merger of Hoechst AG of Germany and Rhône-Poulenc SA of France.   Main Home Page for Aventis--go to top right and click on "Aventis Worldwide" to see medical, agrochemical and pharmaceutical categories of business.

  Chem Pharm Sites
Aventis  "crop sciences"  include herbicides, fungicides, pesticides and genetically engineered food.
  Crop Sciences
  Pharmaceutical division

Monsanto is owned by Pharmacia.   The Pharmacia Corporation was created through the merger of Pharmacia Upjohn with Monsanto Company and its G.D. Searle unit.

Pharmacia employs 59,000 people worldwide and has research, manufacturing and administrative sales operations in more than 60 countries.

Do you take Bayer aspirin?   Did you know that Bayer also makes other drugs, pesticides, chemicals?   When you get to the Bayer site from the following URL, go to the "application" search engine and scroll down to pesticides.   At the first URL here, go to the right side and click on the drop-down list to see the spectrum of products -- for industrial chemicals and  "crop protection"  products, to pharmaceuticals.

  Bayer Pharmaceuticals

It is interesting to note that the Bayer corporation was originally the I.G. Farben Company with deep ties to the Nazis during the 1920s and 30s.   I.G. Farben produced Zyklon-B gas which was used in the Nazi death camps.

Other big chem/pharm manufacturers became owners of pieces of I.G. Farben during the lengthy process of dissolving its assets after decades of lawsuits and pressures from international organizations for alleged I.G.Farben Nazi crimes.   Here is a quote from the BBC:
"Most of the company's assets were confiscated after World War II and were transferred to four big German corporations:   Bayer, Hoechst, Agfa and BASF."   note  The "Nazi" connection runs deep and has it's roots in today's world, check it out

See BBC article:   BBC Article

And this just shows the cycle of profit in all of its glory when you see the Chemical Business Research website -- Click on: "Code "C4":   Cancer Opportunities in the New Millennium"

  Cancer "Opportunities"

Did you know that thousands of toxic chemicals are impregnated into products that we come in intimate contact with every day that have woefully inadequate testing?   Synthetic chemicals are found in clothing, furniture, bedding, paper, food storage containers, building materials, pillow feathers, pillow covers, inks, mattresses, food, cosmetics, carbonless paper, fragrances, and tampons.

A wide variety of fat soluable pesticides are even impregnated into animal feed (fat soluable means it stores in fat).   One of the reasons this is done is to cut down on flies in the barnyard.   The fecal matter becomes so toxic that it ends up killing the flies!   So the questions is -- does the animal fat cause us to get dosed with low levels of this stuff?   See EPA web site:

  EPA Website

Most of the public is completely unaware of how pervasive toxic chemicals are in our homes and offices.   If it were just one or two of the chemicals--the effects might be tolerable.   But that is not the case at all because the relentless cumulative and synergistic effects of these chemicals is causing great harm to human, animal and environmental health.

When we, our children and our animals suffer symptoms or become ill, have trouble with our reproductive systems -- we spend many thousands of dollars on medical imaging, tests, treatments, operations, hospitals and drugs...  a circle of profit  that has no equal in the corporate world.

Again this year - the chemical/pharmaceutical industry was declared the most profitable industry in the world.   What a business plan!

The pharmaceutical industry is an investment industry driven by the profits of its shareholders.   Improving human health is not the driving force of this industry.   The pharmaceutical investment industry was artificially created and strategically developed over an entire century by the same investment groups that control the global petrochemical and chemical industries.     Connect those dots




World receives advance warning of medical Armageddon   Idaho Observer

The truth is coming out:   Pharmaceutical drugs are causing more problems than they ever solved.   Worse yet, modern medicine is responsible for the epidemics currently killing and maiming people all over the world.

Rather than admit the grand experiment of exposing billions of people to toxic substances as a means to cure sickness and prevent the spread of communicable diseases did not work, organized medicine is pouring money into disinformation and maintaining the illusion that there is no evidence linking various components of pharmaceutical medicines to the world's rapidly escalating levels of ill-health.

For good measure, the powerful pharma cartel, whose practitioners take an oath to  "do no harm,”  are not above using police powers to force acceptance of their medicaments at gunpoint.     Discover the whole truth



      Rimadyl Risk-Be Aware   Miracle Cure Can Be Deadly,

  Read The Wall Street Journal Article on Rimadyl

"Pfizer marketed it for people, first, and they were dropping like flies, so they quickly and quietly pulled the plug on it and...began marketing it for dogs.   They say it's safe.    There's a warning on the label, of course, and a directive to vets to do bloodwork before the drug is dispensed and to tell people about the possible side effects that Rimadyl can have.    Most of them don't."

The best-selling drug known as Rimadyl, which has enjoyed remarkable success as an anti-inflammatory medicine for pets, has been found to be deadly for some dogs, as witnessed by the FDA receiving more than 6,000 bad reaction reports about the drug manufactured by Pfizer.   As a result, the FDA requested that Pfizer advise consumers in their advertising that death was a possible side effect.   Pfizer refused and pulled their advertising, however they have included "death" as a possible side effect on the drug label.   Plans call for a  "Dear Doctor"  letter to be issued to veterinarians and a safety sheet will be attached to pill packages.

Pfizer acknowledges a problem with some dog owners, especially the consumer group which mounted a campaign dubbed BARKS, for Be Aware of Rimadyl's Known Side-effects (including loss of appetite, wobbling, vomiting, seizures and severe liver malfunction).   The drug company is reported to be contacting pet owners who have told their stories on the Internet, and is offering to pay medical and diagnostic expenses for some dogs who may have been harmed by Rimadyl.   LEARN MORE

Paul and Tammy Michelfelder say Rimadyl drug killed their dog

"The Vet put her on Rimadyl for arthritis that was supposed to help her get by."   They said they were told Rimadyl would make Scarlett a new dog.

Pfizer used to run TV commercials showing dogs acting like puppies after taking Rimadyl.   Pfizer has pulled the ads.   Instead of seeing results like the commercial showed, the Michelfelders watched Scarlett get sick -- fast.   Paul Michelfelder said, "Friday we noticed the same thing, no appetite, we got up Saturday morning and Tammy looked at the dog and she was yellow,"   "I went and got a flashlight and she was just laying in the grass and she couldn't get up," Tammy added.

"Now we were put in the position at that point to put the dog down or give her a fighting chance," Paul said.   They spent several thousand dollars fighting what the veterinarian noted as "Rimadyl toxicity."   They eventually had to put Scarlett to sleep. Her ashes are held in a box to remind the family of their beloved pet.



Class Action lawsuit against Pfizer
The Michelfelders have joined a class action lawsuit against Pfizer.

Also participating in the lawsuit is Michelle Walsh.   Walsh says she was one of the first to lose a dog.    She then helped found a national organization called B.A.R.K.S. -- Be Aware of Rimadyl's Known Side Affects.  

Rimadyl ~ the drug that killed my Angel
Rimadyl ~ the drug that killed my Angel  A warning from the heart

Pfizer marketed it for people, first, and they were dropping like flies, so they quickly and quietly pulled the plug on it and...began marketing it for dogs.

They say it's safe.  There's a warning on the label, of course, and a directive to vets to do bloodwork before the drug is dispensed and to tell people about the possible side effects that Rimadyl can have.   Most of them don't.  They say it's effective.  It may be, for some dogs.  But the dogs who shouldn't have it...the dogs who are old or have some condition that precludes their having it, the dogs who are sensitive to it...they die from it.   The ones who do well may keep on doing well;  then again, they may suddenly begin showing signs that they should be taken off the drug right away.  Of course, if you haven't been warned, you don't recognize them. more

There are many excellent natural, safe alternatives to Rimadyl.    Herbal blends are safer than steroids and NSAID’s because they are ALL NATURAL supplements that deliver special nutrients and beneficial healing properties to the joint, bones and surrounding tissue.   The reason vets monitor your animal when taking Rimadyl is because they know sooner or later there will be organ damage and eventual failure.  At that point they throw up their hands and tell you there's nothing more they can do and your animal can now no longer take the deadly toxin they have been giving.  It's usually at this point where their humans desparately try to find a natural remedy.

We formulated a unique blend that has been very effective on we human who use it and many other dogs too.  It's available in herbal powder or herbal tincture form, we use about ½= 1 tsp with yogourt for big Rotties.   Also helps your dog have more energy too!   We've used this time and time again on ourselves, friends & animals and it helps with energy levels and symptoms associated with arthritis.   MSM is a natural sulfur compound that helps relieve joint pain, inflammation & strengthens connective tissues.   Clinical studies have shown MSM to be just as effective as NSAIDS in reducing joint pain & inflammation without any gastrointestinal side effects.   Glucosamine Sulfate is a water soluble amino sugar, an essential component of all body tissue.   Glucosamine Sulfate occurs naturally in cartilage & promotes the stability & flexibility of joints.   Well documented nutrient for joint health & connective tissue.   Lancet Medical journal studies suggest that the progression of some types of arthritis, characterized by cartilage deterioration, can be slowed by glucosamine sulfate.   In over 300 clinical trials Glucosamine Sulfate has proven it's ability to help rebuild cartilage and been shown to be more effective than nonsterodial anti-nflammatory drugs  (NSAIDs)  in relieving pain.   Yucca Root is gaining increasing attention for its excellent success in treating arthritis, hip dysplasia, and other degenerative bone and joint diseases.   It reduces pain and increases mobility by production of natural steroids in the body.   Yucca also aids digestion and is a liver, blood, and digestive system detoxifier.   Helpful for allergies, asthma, skin problems, body odor, and stress, arthritis.   This blend is loaded with beneficial herbs!   Contains: Our proprietary blend of Alfalfa, Ashwaganda, Wild Yucca Root, Kelp, Licorice, Plantain, Ginger Root, Glucosamine Sulfate, MSM, Passion Flower, Rosehips, Hibiscus, Feverfew, Chiang Xiong, Dan Shen, Yan Hu Sao, Du Huo, Hong Hua, Ru Xiang & more.   Why risk organ damage?   try this safe, natural herbal blend!      Jesse Jane Osteo Care

Steroids The sleaziest of drugs (cortisone, prednisone etc) 

"You take your dog to the vet with a skin infection.   Your vet gives your dog a steroid injection.   The skin infection clears up.   Later, you discover your dog has kidney disease.   Is there a clear connection between the steroid injection and your dog's diseased kidneys?   You don't know.   But we do know that steroids are known to damage kidneys.   We also know, from the drug manufacturers' own data sheets, that steroids can cause liver damage, brittle bones, diabetes, adrenal insufficiency, an inability to deal with stress, and damage to the immune system."Catherine O'Driscoll

Doctors tell you that steroids only cause side effects after many years.   But new research shows that permanent damage is immediate and devastating.   Studies show that steroids cause permanent, debilitating effects after a single dosage.   'Steroids are probably the most sleazy of modern day medications,' says John Mills, former professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco and chief of infectious diseases at San Francisco General Hospital.



Diarrhea, abdominal pain, severe inflammation of the colon (colitis), irritable bowel syndrome, skin problems, fever, elevated white blood cell count, weak immune system, vomiting, dehydration, potassium deficiencies, allergies, colon perforation, bad breath, excess stomach gas, yeast problems, nutritional deficiencies and constipation are just some of the many side effects and problems linked to antibiotics.

Veterinary Malpractice - Protecting Your Pet from Veterinarian Negligence

The (Delaware) News Journal reported that over the last few years there has been a growing national trend to give animals more legal protection:   New legislation and lawsuits have been filed across the country on behalf of animals.   Several lawsuits against veterinarians aim to change laws that treat pets as property and leave vets unaccountable for malpractice.   New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, and Rhode Island have considered legislation granting pet owners the right to sue for pain and suffering damages, including punitive damages for neglect or abuse.   Tennessee enacted such a law in 2000, and Illinois passed a version of it two years ago. more

  Just Asking Questions Can Spare Your Pet Some Very Real Suffering
by J. Diane Parrish - Law Offices of Diane Parrish - Veterinary malpractice; injuries to animals.

Of the tens of thousands of veterinarians practicing in the United States, many are incompetent, careless or both. Others fail to deliver adequate care because their singular focus on profits makes them unwilling to pay for qualified employees, equipment, supplies, etc.   I have even known of one vet who diluted her euthanasia drugs and another who re-used single-use surgery supplies.   Unnecessary deaths and suffering have become commonplace.



Danger of rawhide and pig ears

Some veterinarians warn against feeding rawhide and pig ears because they can contain chemical residues  (from chemicals used to remove the fur) that can be harmful to your dog’s health.   Also, larger pieces can break off and be swallowed, getting stuck in the intestines and causing blockages.   When the rawhide gets wet from the stomach juices, it swells to twice its normal size causing serious stomach blockage.   Soft and slick rawhide can also become a choking hazard.

  This great store is full of organic treats, foods and other things you and your dog can feel good about using and be comfortable knowing they are safe.



Drugs aren't the only thing that can hurt a cat...
Essential oils  (aromatherapy)  are excellent for humans and canine, but can be dangerous for cats.   Cats cannot tolerate or metabolize essential oils.   Their use can lead to symptoms of toxicity or even death.

If you want to use aromatherapy for your cat, hydrosols are your only safe option.



Magnets have been used for healing since antiquity.   Their benefits have been recorded in ancient Egyptian, Greek, Chinese and other writings.   Until recently, although the health improving potential of magnet therapy was well documented, scientific explanation of magnetic action was not available.

Dedicated researchers and the introduction of the space age have contributed greatly to the understanding of the physiology of magnetism in health and healing.   Many health problems, once diagnosed by the medical profession, can be treated effectively and safely using magnets without resorting to potentially dangerous drugs.   The use of magnets is simple and the benefits can be immense." ~Ken Wiancko, M.D

Personally, we Happy Tails humans have slept on magnetic mattress pads for about 11 years, used magnets in our shows and have used magnetics with our Rotts and horses with great success.   Strange as it may seem, my natural hair color, platinum blond was fully restored after sleeping on magents and we've seen pure gray hair begin to regain it's natural youthful color...


These extra large pet pads are super for your older dog, most dogs enjoy sleeping on them and they are water proof.




Hidden Danger in Your Animal's Drinking Water

Chlorinated water can cause serious health problems for ALL living creatures.

"Chlorine is a halogen that damages enzymes.   It does not belong in our bodies as part of our water needs!!   For starters, chlorine potentiates magnesium deficiency, which can cause almost any symptom you can think of from high blood pressure, to chemical sensitivity or even sudden death.   Furthermore it also decreases the absorption while increasing the excretion of calcium and phosphorus.   The increased loss of calcium into the urine, promotes osteoporosis.   It is KNOWN that it not only contributes to hypertension, but also cancers of the pancreas, colon, bladder and has been linked to heart attacks, diabetes, kidney stones and much more. "

"To make matters worse for pets, some people still use plastic water bowls.   Most, if not all, of these absorb and retain numerous toxic materials.   Dr. Christopher Day (England) reports..."I once had an epileptic dog I had been treating unsuccessfully for eighteen months.   One day its plastic feeding bowl was accidentally broken and replaced with a ceramic one.  Only use ceramic or stainless steel. The fits stopped immediately."

Although many breeders are aware of the chlorine problem in drinking water, a common mistake is to overlook the fact that bathing in it can have the same effect !!   Please remember that because of dermal absorption, anything on the skin is like drinking it !!"Marina Zacharias from  CHLORINATED WATER.... A BIG NO-NO!



Do YOU or your family regularly use poison on a daily basis, or perhaps even have your favorite brand of poison?   Before you say no, read the facts on Fluoride.

   FLUORIDE...Making Toothpaste a Toxic Drug, by Jim Lynn

"If you haven't read the back of your toothpaste label recently, you are in for shock.   On my desk in front of me is a tube of Kids Crest, billed as a "Sodium FLUORIDE Anticavity Toothpaste." Straight forward enough except for one thing...there's a new WARNING LABEL on the back that reads;

"WARNINGS:   Keep out of reach of children under 6 years of age.   If you accidentally swallow more than used for brushing, seek PROFESSIONAL HELP or contact a
POISON CONTROL center
immediately."

If the words  "professional help"  and  "poison control center"  don't grab your attention, they should.   Since mid-1997, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has mandated all toothpastes containing FLUORIDE to carry this warning.   And for good reason.


  New South Wales reclassifies fluoride as a poison

U.S. cities still pushing poison on water drinkers  Citizen groups in Billings, Montana and Spokane, Washington, have successfully blocked recent attempts by public health officials to begin adding the carcinogenic, mutagenic, neurotoxic cumulative poison to local water supplies.

Salt Lake City recently began fluoridating its water.   No vote was taken in this case, city leaders just decided to do it even though they were presented with ample evidence that water fluoridation is a public health disaster.

From AFIN:   Years ago, non-prescription Sodium Fluoride tablets were supplied in Australia with 'S5 Schedule under the poisons act' printed on the label - as was fluoride toothpaste


  Fluoride outlawed in Honolulu

Honolulu finalizes enactment of water quality ordinance.   After close to five decades of citizens and legislators in Hawaii diligently defending their right to drink water free of intentional medications and contamination, Mayor Jeremy Harris has finalized the enactment of a unique water quality ordinance that pro-actively preserves the rights of consumers in the City and County of Honolulu and Island of Oahu   This ordinance effectively bans fluoride as a potential additive to municipal water.

   EPA scientist denounces fluoride before water subcommittee  Federal employees union opposes forced medication...

  Fluoride BANNED in Redding

Redding citizens voted to set their own safe drinking water standards to keep untested contaminants, including fluoride, out of their drinking water.   This page documents the issues and facts that faced Redding voters.   It also has links to other related information.




The letter I wrote to help STOP Fluoride in Goldendale.

Fluoride=hazardous waste

Naturally fluoridated water comes in the form of calcium fluoride, is calcium based and good for bones and teeth, while the chemically dumped poison is sodium fluoride or a derivative.   Our degree of contamination is directly proportional to the level of water we drink.    Let's for the moment ignore that sodium fluoride isn't naturally occurring and has long been recognized as one of the  most toxic elements  on earth, is a by-product of aluminum manufacturing, used in atomic bomb production, manufacturing of high grade uranium and plutonium for nuclear weapons.

It's banned outright in France, Germany, Austria, Luxembourg, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Italy, Belgium, Japan, China, The Netherlands  and numerous informed US and Canadian cities.

Earning a Level 4 rating, compared to a Level 3 rating for Lead, with the Clinical Toxicity of Commercial Products Guide.    It's also the reason your Fluoridated tooth paste comes with that nasty little warning label to call the poison control center in case you swallow any.

But can we afford to ignore the profound work of a committed group of scientists, lawyers and professional employees at EPA?    USEPA was alarmed with fluoride toxicity and professional ethics and reviewed toxicity data since 1985 and concurred that  " the most recent toxicity data demonstrate to us a   causative link between fluoride exposures and neurotoxicity , including diminished IQ in children, hyperactivity, genetic damage, bone pathology, increased hip fractures, and bone cancer in addition to dental fluorosis.

They voted unanimously to join forces with California Citizens for Safe Drinking to stop fluoridation.

The Journal of Brain Research conducted a 52 week study in 1998 to determine whether the effects of aluminum in the nervous system would enhance or inhibit bioavailability.   Their determination was that the impact on brain tissue was similar to pathological changes found in patients with Alzheimers and dementia, most remarkable was that the studies indicated that even the lowest doses of aluminum fluoride caused the greatest susceptibility to illness and incidence of mortality.

Dr Phyllis Mullenix, former head of Toxicology of Forsythe Dental Center in Boston, now a critic of fluoride, concluded that fluoride is a powerful central nervous system toxin aversely effecting the human brain.

Dr Roger Master, President of Foundation for Neuroscience and Society of Dartmouth University linked fluoride and lead in children suggesting fluoride enhanced the body's uptake in lead from environmental sources.    Evidence is overwhelming that fluoride is considered causative in hip fractures, arthritis, osteoporosis, neurological and cerebrovascular disease,  and as a bone seeking toxin destroys collagen in bones, tendons, muscles, skin, cartilage, lungs and kidneys.

How did fluoride become so popular you ask?    Simplistically put...in 1920's and 1930's fluoride fell into negative public opinion, regulations and lawsuits against it's damages.    To reverse public opinion and find an acceptable source of disposing of a toxin severe damage control was needed.    At that time the Public Health Service fell under the jurisdiction of the treasury secretary.   Andrew J Mellon was the treasury secretary from 1920 until 1931.    He was also the founder and billionaire head of Aluminum Corporation of America (ALCOA).

In 1931 Public Health Service and ALCOA sponsored research and created self-serving "instant science" that fluoride reduced cavities.    During World War 11 Public Health Service pushed for mandatory fluoridation and miraculously transformed the image of a curse into a blessing, found a source to dispose of their toxic waste, and realized a substantial monetary gain by demanding that fluoride be dumped into the nations water.

Mass medication-poisoning is evil, socialistic and in this case idiotic.    Let's be accountable for individual choice of poisons, whether tobacco, alcohol or fluoride.   Fluoridation, mandated by governments and rejected by communities

In point of fact, fluorine causes more human cancer death, and causes it faster, than any other chemical."   -- Dean Burk, chief chemist emeritus at the U.S. National Cancer Institute.    LEARN MORE ABOUT FLUORIDE  Toni Reita- PhD

The Premarin Industry: Holocaust for Horses.   Premarin - a prescription drug currently being used by over 8 million women with menopausal symptoms--is responsible for agonizing conditions and ultimate death of thousands of horses annually.   

  Premarin Nightmare

"Of the women in menopause today, about half start synthetic hormone replacement, but only half of those stick  with it because of the side effects or fear of cancer risk.   The threat of breast and uterine cancer is dramatically increased with HRT.   Premarin, an estrogen replacement drug for menopausal women made from pregnant mare's urine, is the top selling drug of any kind in the U.S. But justifiable controversy about synthetic hormone replacementmay mean that the threat of breast and uterine cancer is dramatically increased with HRT.  Check out our Menopaws Salve, it really helps!

In 51 studies covering 21 countries involving more than 52,000 women with breast cancer and 108,000 women without breast cancer, women who used Premarin for 5 years or longer had a 35% higher risk of developing cancer than women who had never been on HRT.   (Good news!   The higher risk for breast cancer diminished and largely disappeared after about 5 years off HRT treatment.)   Most women don't know that Premarin, is made from pregnant mare's urine, and that the mares are kept in horrendous conditions - their foals are sold for slaughter.

Premarin is the most prescribed of all drugs in America today.   The mares are artificially inseminated and forced to spend their 11-month pregnancies in stalls so small they cannot turn.   If they try to lie down, their heads are jolted upright by their halter chains.   Long lines of pregnant horses stand, chained and strapped into cramped concrete and steel pens like rows of four-legged galley slaves.   They shuffle uncomfortably from hoof to hoof.   A forlorn look fills their eyes as they stare.   Their coats are dull, their ears droopy - tell-tale signs of a horse's misery.   Many get sore, swollen legs or become crippled from standing, months on end, in their tiny concrete stalls.   The mares are kept constantly thirsty.   They are denied water so that their urine becomes thick."
