May we all soon enjoy a future where our loved ones are not subjected to unnecessary vaccines.

More than eleven years ago this magnificent life was delivered into my hands. Conor, and the Greater Power, trusted me to ensure his safe journey through this world. I failed them both miserably through my own ignorance as well as by placing my faith blindly in the hands of conventional veterinary “wisdom”.

Of all people I should have known better. My studies to that point had revealed the dangers ALL vaccines pose to our four-footed-wonders. I had eliminated non-core vaccines from my dogs’ life experience and was already feeding a Biologically Appropriate Raw Food diet (B.A.R.F. diet). I was well on my way to making their time spent on this planet the healthiest it could possibly be save one obstacle…the dreaded MANDATORY Rabies vaccine.

Despite my reservations which were based upon Conor’s adverse reaction to the initial rabies vaccine given at six months I allowed my previous veterinarian to administer a “booster” rabies vaccine. Within hours Conor was disoriented and “fly biting”. Within days he was experiencing full blown cluster seizures. Within weeks, in spite of conventional medication (pb; valium), I was burying my beautiful boy in the pouring rain while silently screaming “Never EVER again”.

Among dog lovers who Naturally Rear our companions we have a term for these beloved creatures like Conor. They are our Learning, or Teaching Dogs, for they guide us along this ever enlightening path to supreme health for their brethren.

Aside from being a light in my life, Conor’s contribution to this world is the work I have done on his behalf. Due in part to our own tragedy the “Just Say No To Vaccines” email community was born. I met Mary Wulff-Tilford, whose dog Max was also adversely affected by the rabies vaccine, and together we created Jstsayno2vaccs in an effort to support and help educate those animal guardians who have begun to think beyond the scope of conventional theory.

Finally our voices are being heard loud and clear more and more often. The Rabies Challenge Fund will not only support the double blind study into long term immunity but will, in time, serve to convince mainstream America of the deadly consequences we endure should we simply accept protocol which is based solely on a fiscal bottom line rather than on good clean science.

May we all soon enjoy a future where our loved ones are not subjected to unnecessary vaccines.
