Big Pharma takes over veterinary medicine; dogs and cats drugged with chemicals for profit

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts
The way pets are being treated today by many mainstream veterinarians amounts to nothing less than the chemical abuse of dogs and cats by an industry that has, sadly, exchanged ethics for profits and no longer sees its primary mission as helping improve the quality of life of our animal friends. Personally, I'm outraged by the practice of drugging dogs, cats and other animals with synthetic chemicals to treat degenerative health conditions, and I think those who promote or follow such practices are engaged in extremely unethical, cruel behaviors that should be criminalized.

Pottenger controlled the type of food the cats were fed. One group was fed only raw food and unpasteurized milk, while the others were fed a combination of cooked and processed foods. Dr. Pottenger then recorded his observations with exacting measurements and photographs. The cats fed cooked and pasteurized milk developed common degenerative diseases such a diabetes and arthritis, while the group of cats fed only raw food prospered, living much longer than the cats from the other groups.

Big Pharma takes over veterinary medicine; dogs and cats drugged with chemicals for profit

Dogs, cats and horses don't need meds. What they need is great nutrition and medicine from nature. Just like people.
Now the cats, dogs, horses, birds, lizards and other animals are no longer safe from the reach of Big Pharma. Drugs are posing a serious chemical threat to the health of pets. There is almost no living creature left on this planet that hasn't been considered a potential revenue source by Big Pharma, and if they could make money drugging all the fish in the ocean, you can bet they'd come up with a fictitious fish disease and find a way to drop little fish pills into the oceans of the world. Profit is the purpose. Health is irrelevant.
Personally, I'm outraged by the practice of drugging dogs, cats and other animals with synthetic chemicals to treat degenerative health conditions, and I think those who promote or follow such practices are engaged in extremely unethical, cruel behaviors that should be criminalized. Just like in the human health care system, nutrition has been thrown out the window and is now replaced with a system of chemical invasion that can only lead to a worsening of the long-term health of the animals exposed to such dangerous treatments.
Pet health is now in rapid decline The result of all this is that our dogs and cats are sicker than ever. Ask any vet who's been practicing for more than ten years: They've never seen such an increase in the rate of liver disease, nervous system disorders, cancers and diabetes. Ever wonder why? It's because pets are being routinely poisoned with pet food and pet medicine. Popular anti-flea and anti-tick medications, all by themselves, are so toxic to the liver of any animal that if they were prescribed to humans, their side effects would make the Vioxx fiasco look like a harmless prank.
Knowing that massive profits could be generated through the bodies of pets, drug companies have spent two decades pursuing an aggressive campaign of rewriting vet school curricula, influencing veterinarians and brainwashing pet owners into thinking their dogs, cats and horses need drugs in order to be healthy.

The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine

To find out, Cannon developed a protocol that involved putting cats in a safe cage, and then bringing in their "natural enemy"—a dog—to sniff and bark at them. The cat would become agitated (at least, sometimes), and Cannon would then draw blood from the animal and compare it with the blood of cats that had not been made to feel threatened.11 Following a lead from a colleague, Daniel Roy Hoskins, who was working in a laboratory in Ohio, Cannon found that the blood of frightened cats always contained a certain hormone then called adrenin (today called adrenaline or epinephrine).

Feel Better, Live Longer with Vitamin B-3

While cats normally do not need to be given vitamin C because they are able to synthesize adequate amounts, they require diets containing about 40 mg of niacin per kg of body weight each day. 9 This is very similar to the amount of vitamin C synthesized daily by most mammals, but not, of course, humans. cats have more or less lost the ability to synthesize niacin and most get pre-formed niacin supplements in their diets. cats eating niacin-deficient diets develop "black tongue" hemorrhagic diarrhea, anemia, and reddening and ulceration of the mucous membranes of the tongue and mouth.

The cats fed cooked and pasteurized milk developed common degenerative diseases such a diabetes and arthritis, while the group of cats fed only raw food prospered, living much longer than the cats from the other groups. Dr. Pottenger reported the underlying nutritional factor had to be a substance that was destroyed by the heat used in the cooking and pasteurization processes; the raw foods not exposed to this processing maintained this substance (enzymes), while the cooked and processed food did not.

In 1946, he experimented with 900 cats. Half were fed raw milk and raw meat; the other half ate cooked meat and pasteurized (cooked) milk. During a ten-year period, he found that the cats on the raw diet thrived, while those on the cooked food diet showed all the degenerative diseases common in man. By the third generation, all the cats on the processed diet were sterile or congenitally malformed. Not only do we have more energy (life force) from raw foods in our diet, but our bodies are more thoroughly hydrated due to their high water content.

The Intention Experiment: Using Your Thoughts to Change Your Life and the World

Forty years ago, Barry Sterman, professor emeritus of the departments of Neurobiology and Biobehavioral Psychiatry at UCLA, accidentally discovered that this anticipatory emotion sent cats into a meditative state; their brains slowed to an EEG rhythm of 8-13 hertz, corresponding to human alpha brain frequencies, moments before they got their reward.52 Eventually, he was able to get the cats to re-create this state at will, not simply when they were awaiting food. It was tantamount to the animals' being able to control their own brain waves. But could a human being do the same?

Francis Pottenger began a study that ran for ten years, covering four generations of cats, more than nine hundred in all. In this study, Dr. Pottenger controlled the type of food the cats were fed. One group was fed only raw food and unpasteurized milk, while the others were fed a combination of cooked and processed foods. Dr. Pottenger then recorded his observations with exacting measurements and photographs.

Sheldrake's problems is that not merely does he require a morphogenetic field for cats, but he requires a morphogenetic field for Abyssinian cats, Siamese cats, for ordinary torn cats in the alley, and the sheer complexity of this inter-penetrating set of fields really does make the mind boggle. Particularly when one recognizes that cats are only one of a few million species. Sheldrake: The thing that is mind-boggling is the sheer diversity and complexity of nature. I mean there are all these different kinds of animals and plants.

Newman: What about euthanized dogs and cats? We know this from a San Francisco Chronicle investigative report, which followed euthanized dogs and cats from clinics directly to the rendering plants and directly to the pet food industry. Mike: Okay, so just as a reality check to people listening, you're saying that when dogs and cats are put to sleep, some of those end up in the pet food supply? Newman: That's right, because they are "protein." They are animal meat, and the way that they show up on the labels is as animal meat or animal meat byproducts. Mike: Is this allowed by regulators?

Perfect Health the Natural Way

Pottenger conducted some fascinating experiments, initially on cats, to determine the disadvantages of eating cooked food. The results of these experiments are documented in his book, Pottenger's cats. The experiments revealed that cats fed a totally cooked diet of meat, cod-liver oil, and pasteurized milk became irritable. The females became increasingly aggressive, while the males became more docile and their interest in sex slackened or became perverted by abnormal sexual activities.

Dirt: The Erosion of Civilizations

As people settled their habitat, cats faced a simple choice: starve, go somewhere else, or find food in the towns. No doubt early farmers appreciated cats less for their social skills than for their ability to catch the small mammals that ate stored grain.) Sheep were domesticated for direct consumption and economic exploitation sometime around 8000 bc, several hundred years before domestication of wheat and barley. Goats were domesticated at about the same time in the Zagros Mountains of western Iran.

Allen's team first induced an asthma attack in 10 people who had known allergies to cats, and then performed a HRCT. The next day, they exposed these individuals to cats, and took another scan six hours later. The researchers performed yet another scan 22 hours after that cat exposure, during another induced asthma attack. Even after the outward symptoms (such as difficulty breathing) abated, all 10 people continued to experience a decrease in lung function, the testing showed.

Not only do we have more energy (life force) from raw foods in our diet, but our bodies are more thoroughly hydrated due to their high water content. A diet of exclusively cooked foods forces the body to use its own fluids to moisten the ingested food, and therefore has a dehydrating effect.

To find out if his instinct about Orabilex was right, Wennberg set up a series of experiments in which he injected cats with escalating doses of the drug. After all the cats died of kidney failure, Wennberg went to the Johns Hopkins administrators, persuading them to take Orabilex off the formulary, the hospital's list of approved drugs. But they ignored his suggestion that they put pressure on the FDA to withdraw the drug, saying it was not their responsibility.

With varying doses, both positive and negative inotropic effects on the cats' hearts were revealed. Cholagogue effect: A homeopathic mother tincture separated from the ethanol and by using water, reduced to half its original volume, increased the bile flow in guinea pigs by an average of 20%.

During a classic experiment on several thousand healthy cats that were given highly nutritious, but microwave-treated foods for six weeks, all cats suddenly died þ For deep tissue-cleansing, drink hot (ionized) water frequently: Boil water for 15-20 minutes. Keep it in a thermos flask. Every half hour, take 1-2 sips or more according to your thirst. To have a cleansing effect, the water must be boiled this long and be taken as hot as you would take tea. You may put a small piece of fresh ginger in the flask to improve taste.
