Nice to hear about somebody who didn't cave to their doctor. Many find their doctor’s conduct objectionable, but they won't replace him/her for various reasons, mainly IMHO having to do with convenience- their doctor is the only one that knows their issues… they had a hard time finding specialist in the area they need… it’s the doctor their insurance company picked… so on and so forth. These are decisions each individual has to make for themselves. I'm not going to second guess.
I will say, I replaced one of my own doctors for a lot less justification than what you described, T.
I agree EI. For myself, it's not only about whom I go to, but it's mainly about how I can be my own personal advocate when it comes to my health.
Part of my personal "great awakening" started in the mid 1990's. WIfe and I had our first dog die within days after being vaccinated for Rabies booster, which was advised to us by our veterinarian, whom we had implicit trust in. The 3 poochies killed a groundhog at grandma's house, and they told us to rush our dogs in to be "boosted" against rabies. Little did I know at the time, groundhogs rarely, if ever, have rabies. I didn't know, and again, this was a trust issue.
All 3 dogs went immediately lame in the same leg they were all "boosted" in. Two recovered, the 3rd did not. Following the leg amputation, she was euthanized in our backyard by the same vet technicians. They botched the process, and my dog freaked out, trying to escape us in our own backyard. I can honestly say I have never sobbed as much as I did that day, watching my first dog I ever owned, suffer as they made her do during that last few minutes of her life. To this day, I've still harbored guilt over her passing, and I'll probably never forget it.
Now today, part of my awakening is the process of discovering what causes my ailments. I'm 56, and over the last few years I've discovered more about my own personal health, than in the previous 50. I now realize, though trial and error, that the majority of my personal health issues are food intake related. By individualizing my problems, and removing targeted food items, I've realized that it's what I was consuming which was causing most of my problems, as they've subsided, or are gone completely since eliminating that food from my diet.
For example: Cheese
Since I eliminated cheese from my diet (besides the occasional slice or two of pizza), I no longer have any prostate related issues. All signs of discomfort are gone. Most urgent urination issues are gone. Granted, if I have a few beers, I have to pee, but otherwise, no drugs, no surgeries, and no symptoms anymore, where previously, I was dealing with them.
Next ; Peanut Butter
Digestive problems gone. I will NEVER, EVER take a single bite of any type of peanut butter produced commercially. Hydrogenated oils are now out of my wheelhouse, and my digestive tract has never been better.
So my story is simple. You need to figure out what's bothering you, and it's usually something that you eat almost daily, which turns out to be the culprit. I've told this to many people, and it's helped out quite a few who take the time to religiously follow through.
Illegal in IL not to have rabies shots yearly. Our vet told us it's been over 100 years since a dog bite gave anyone rabies on the USA. Even she didn't agree.
Just heartbreaking to read the story of your dog and what he went through needlessly. We are never giving our dog a rabies shot again. We will only do a titer test and we will do that with some of the other animal vaccines as well.
And as far as the changes in what you eat - FOOD IS MEDICINE so we are very aware of what to and what not to eat. Good for you making those critical food changes. We must advocate for ourselves and for our pets! Big Harma sucks!
T., I read your comment with heartbreak, I am so sorry. I dragged my 12 year old Akita/shepherd mix through thousands of dollars of Big Pharma "cures" which made her suffer and quickened her death, the guilt haunts me 8 years later and I still cry sometimes about it. All of our beloved pups had cancer and/or died of it. and cancer is the number one killer of dogs, it turns out. Rabies vaxxes are required by law here in Virginia and I just had my 12 1/2 year old girl vaccinated for the nth time. I hated it, and I have refused the other routine vaccines for several years. But Big Pharma makes its big bucks, so it will all keep going on and on.
My loss of my Rita changed our lives forever. That experience, which was so horrific at the time, was one that opened our eyes to the Blind Faith we both followed for years before. We always completely trusted our vets and doctors, and the experience with Rita completely altered that.
Rita, IMO showed us the way to be skeptical of "professionals" of any type, and I'm sure that if / when I ever see her again, on the other side, she will be okay with it, as she knows that without actually having to live through that experience, we would have still been on that path of blind faith, and ultimately harmed by not thinking critically about everything. Rita's death served as the tipping point in our lives. Period.
Find another veterinarian. My vet won't vaccinate older dogs, unless the customer demands it. She believes that initial vaccines do their job, but repeated applications significantly increases the probability that they will develop disease from the shots themselves. It took us forever to find the right veterinarian. They're out there, but trial and error, or word of mouth is your best bet.
Townships don't scrutinize dog licensing applications the way you would think. They just process, and move to the next payment. We just stopped registering our pups and are extremely careful about their exposure to the public. There are other ways to go about the township requirements, which are all money grabs anyway. A good veterinarian will provide you with exemptions as well. The other ways, I won't discuss on a public board.
FWIW, our pets are vaccinated when we save them at the adoption agencies, before we ever get them. They're never done again for the rest of their natural lives, as I don't want to live through that ever again.
Same with me, with my dearly beloved Rose. It still kills me since she trusted me so completely and I listened to the "experts" and caused her so much unnecessary suffering. After that I started refusing treatments, read everything I could before a vet visit, and have been very skeptical of everything any vet suggests. I tr to practice homeopathy for myself and my pooches. I know it sounds crazy, and I certainly love the people in my life, but I have experienced the most intense emotion for my pups.
There's nothing crazy in your words, or feelings. I'm familiar with what you speak of, and its perfectly explainable.
Our beloved pets are family members who do not betray you. They don't lie to you. They don't misuse the relationship you have with them, at your expense. They don't see you with anything but love and admiration. They give you way more than they get. They provde you with unconditional love and affection.
My pups are always happy to see me, no matter how my day went, good or bad. They always bring a smile to my face, regardless of how im feeling at the moment.
When my 83 year old mom passed, naturally i cried for her at her bedside, being there for her as she left this existence, traveling to the next.
Shortly thereafter, an overwhelming calm came over me, and i was happy for her finally being out of pain she lived with forever.
Mom was with her sisters, brothers, mom and dad, grandparents, friends and aquaintences, all previously passed, and she has the peace she longed for. The decades of internal, emotional and physical suffering mom went through was now over, and although I miss her, I havent shed a tear since.
OTOH, my 17 lb ShihTzu, Mocha., who passed just a few weeks back, strangely enough, still brings tears to my eyes, even as I type this now.
Mocha had a huge impact on my life, my being, my soul, without doubt. He was my best little buddy, went everywhere with me, and my heart breaks still, now, weeks later.
I too, am glad he's with all his brothers and sisters, and his discomfort of his last, remaining time is now over, but the selfish part of me misses his companionship more than ever, as he brought me so much joy, at very little cost.
Some think I'm nuts missing my stinky, little, ShihTzu boy, Mocha, more than my own mother, but i can tell you honestly, Mocha never once caused me any grief during his lifetime. That grief is reserved for me now. Funny thing, the same time, i cannot say that about any human i know, or knew.
We are what we eat. Even using healing modalities that really work, we will limp along sick anyway when we don't change our bad diets. It can be so simple.
My husband replaced his doctor (CDC shill ) when he told my husband if he gets Covid he will put him in the hospital. Oh hell no you won’t! We are both unjabbed and had Ivermectin just in case but we never needed it and breezed through Covid.
A good friend 74 year old whos husband (84) has a repaired, or replaced heart valve, still sees his cardiac dr a couple times a year. To this very day, the bastard tries to convince him to get the death jab, even though every single time theyve gone to see him, they decline with full conviction and authoritive tone.
Why in the world, after all this time, would a. Cardiac Dr still try to coerce him to take a jab for a virus which is long gone out of the population?

Only one answer:
Money.
Never see Dr's. My husband has to. I eat right Exercise and stay healthy. I'm very fortunate. Came from a Socialized country.
