See article keywords and concepts |  Fortunately, there are more holistic practitioners in veterinary medicine than in human medicine, and it's fairly easy to find a holistic vet in any major city if you look around. The holistic veterinarians understand nutrition, herbs, homeopathy and other natural modalities. They prescribe solutions and treat animals in ways that are outlawed in human medicine (because they actually work). If you care at all about the health of your pets, I strongly urge you to seek out and work with a holistic pet care practitioner who avoids prescribing pharmaceuticals. | | Mainstream veterinary medicine, as practiced today, is a cruel, exploitive industry that ultimate causes significant harm to the very animals we should be trying to save.
Don't be suckered by the "miracle pill" sales pitch. Dogs, cats and horses don't need meds. What they need is great nutrition and medicine from nature.
Just like people. | | I've found that licensing credentials are essentially useless, and the more credentials some vet has, the more deeply they're brainwashed into a pharmaceutical approach to veterinary medicine.
If you want a healthy pet, you've got to get back to basics: Nutrition, exercise, disease prevention and natural remedies. There is absolutely no rationale that justifies the routine chemical treatment of pets with patented, high-profit pharmaceuticals. | | There is no scientifically justifiable role in veterinary medicine for the majority of the pharmaceuticals now being pushed onto vets, vet techs, and pet owners.
Even the pet shelters are being influenced by Big Pharma. When I rescued my pet from a local animal shelter, I was given a DVD sponsored by a drug company. It offered to teach me about pet behavior while brainwashing me into thinking I needed to give my dog toxic pills for preventing ticks and fleas. As this simple example demonstrates, even the animal shelters are now in bed with Big Pharma. | | Thanks to Big Pharma influence, veterinary medicine today has become just as much of a joke as the conventional medical system used to treat humans. The goal is no longer to actually heal anyone, but rather to maximize profits by treating and managing diseases without curing or preventing them. Many vets have figured this out, too: If they treat the animals with pharmaceuticals instead of actually curing them of disease (or preventing disease), they benefit from lucrative repeat business! | | REPPED: Big Pharma has successfully completed its takeover of veterinary medicine in the United States and other first-world nations. 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. |

She received a prescription for Ritalin but first had to go to a detox clinic to give up marijuana. "I was smoking ten or twenty joints a day," she recalls. "When I was in there, I was like a wild animal in a cage." She stopped smoking marijuana for about a year, but then she relapsed and soon fell back into her heavy habit of staying high throughout the day (while also taking the Ritalin and antidepressants). |

See article keywords and concepts |  It seems like the pharmaceutical industry is really trying to take over veterinary medicine to put pets on the same drugs, and have even pet health insurance so they can pass costs around. Perhaps a nutritional approach will win out in the end. Which way do you think it is going?
Dr. Liers: Certainly, in our world some companies are making better animal foods, Natura Pet Products, for example. I do not know if you are familiar with them. They make the Innova EVO that has no grains in it. Why would you feed an animal grains?

In addition, kanamycin-resistant bacteria may mutate and develop resistance to members of the same family of antibiotics.55 That family (aminoglycoside antibiotics) includes streptomycin, gentamycin, tobramycin, and neomycin, all currendy used on humans.56 The bacteria may also cross-react with the other antibiotics. According to biochemist and nutritionist Susan Bardocz, after bacteria acquire one ARM gene, it is easier and quicker for them to take up additional antibiotic resistant genes. | | Gerald Guest, the director of FDA's Center for veterinary medicine wrote, "I would urge you to eliminate statements that suggest that the lack of information can be used as evidence for no regulatory concern."16 FDA microbiologist Louis Pribyl challenged the policy, writing:
"What has happened to the scientific elements of this document? Without a sound scientific base to rest on, this becomes a broad, general, 'What do I have to do to avoid trouble'-type document.... | | The scientists at the FDA's Center for veterinary medicine (CVM) also concluded that there is "ample scientific justification" to require testing and review of each GM food before approval. Their concern, according to CVM's director, was that "residues of plant constituents or toxicants in meat and milk products may pose human food safety concerns. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The FDA/CVM states that under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, "the Center for veterinary medicine is responsible for the regulation of animal drugs, medicated feeds, food additives, and feed ingredients, including pet foods." The bulletin goes on to state that "the Act does require that pet foods, like human foods, be pure and wholesome, contain no harmful or deleterious substances, and be truthfully labeled."1
Given this clear mission stated by the FDA/CVM in its consumer bulletin that goes out to thousands of individuals, I wondered exactly how this was accomplished. | | In 1996, the Center for veterinary medicine (CVM) developed and validated a method to detect pentobarbital in dry dog food and a preliminary survey of 10 samples found low levels in 2 samples. CVM had collected 75 representative dry dog food samples and were in the process of analyzing these for pentobarbital levels."5
I contacted a veterinarian with the FDA/CVM, Sharon Benz, eager to find out the results of these tests. Dr. Benz referred my inquiry to the Public Information Specialist, Linda Grassie. | | In 1994 I contacted the Food and Drug Administration/ Center for veterinary medicine (FDA/CVM) and posed this question: Are government agencies aware that euthanized pets are being used in commercial pet foods? The reply I received from Christine Richmond, spokesperson for the FDA, Division of Animal Feeds, reads in part, "In recognizing the need for disposal of a large number of unwanted pets in this country, CVM has not acted to specifically prohibit the rendering of pers. However, that is not to say that the practice of using this material in pet food is condoned by CVM. | | The foods have an endless shelf life with these preservatives,
In a letter to the Center for veterinary medicine, Wendell Belfield, DVM, addressed the dubious ingredients in pet foods. He wrote, "Chemicals such as BHA, BHT which can initiate birth defects, and damage to liver and kidneys are commonly used preservatives."4 These preservatives are also found in the human food chain, however, you must remember that we are not ingesting them at every meal as our companion animals may well be if they are eating the same processed pet food daily. | | The three schools benefiting from funding for veterinary diet technician positions were Texas A8cM, University of Pennsylvania, and Virginia-Maryland Regional College of veterinary medicine.) Purina also states that they provide educational outreach activities at twenty-seven veterinary schools across the United States. Would it be safe to assume that these diet technicians, once graduated, would be promoting other pet foods?
Pet food manufacturers also make donations to veterinary schools in Canada. | | Yet, it is still approved by the Food and Drug Administration, Center for veterinary medicine, as a preservative in pet food.
The Animal Protection Institute (API), stated in a 1996 report: "Ethoxyquin has been associated with immune deficiency syndrome, leukemia, blindness, skin, stomach, spleen and liver cancer in companion animals."5 Many pet food companies state that they do not add this substance to their foods. |

Dr. Breggin says we need to be looking at broader issues. "How are we to understand and to show care for people who undergo emotional pain and anguish? Are we to view them as defective objects or as human beings struggling with emotional and social problems and personal conflict? Are we to drug them into oblivion, or are we to understand and empower them? |
