Excessive Vaccination

I never take a Flu vaccine... never. Immunologically, I think it's better to get sick every once in awhile with the wild strain of Flu. In fact the only kind of vaccines I believe in taking are vaccines for diseases that can kill you. I do occasionally take a Rabies vaccine.

In my profession over the years I have seen a lot of vaccines come out from drug companies. Many of those vaccines have proven to been non-effective and unnecessary. Drug companies are businesses, businesses are out to make money. Drug companies sometimes create vaccines and through their drug reps create paranoia to make a profit.

Be careful about the kinds of vaccines you take.

Healthy Immune Systems

It's OK to get sick... it really is. Getting an illness provides good exercise for your immune system. A lot of people do a lot of things not to get sick; hand sanitizers, excessive cleaning, limiting exposure to germs, etc. We need to occassionally get sick to prepare our immune systems for bigger illnesses.

In Veterinary school they told us that something like 80% of your patients are going to get better not matter what you do so... don't make them worse!

The best doctor that we have lives within us... Dr. Immune System... let him work. Provide him with plenty of continuing education.

At the first sign of illness we usually want to jump in with some kind of medication tomodify that symptom. If we have a cough we take a cough suppressant. If we have diarrhea we take Pepto Bismol. If we sneeze we sniff vrious inds of medications. Early on a lot of these symptoms are therapeutic. Yes, therapeutic sneezing, therapeutic coughing, therapeutic vomiting, therapeutic diarrhea...

Certainly at some point of the condition these things may have to be modified but sneezing, coughing, vomiting and diarrhea are Dr. Immune systems tools for treating various ailments.

Exercise your immune system, make it strong and vigorous, it is God's gift to help you stay well.

Acetone and Automatic Transmission Fluid

A 50:50 mixture of the above mixture is the best thing I have found for frring up metal parts that are "locked-up" by time and rust.

It is very volatile and the acetone evaporates away preety quickly so you have to keep it sealed up and brush on the amount you need.

I had a flywheel on a Briggs and Stratton engine I couldn't get off until I let this mixture work for about a week.

I found out about this mixture from an internet forum.

How to Take a Pill

Here's how I taught my kids how to swallow a pill. Hold the pill in your front teeth so you can't taste it or gag on it. Take a huge gulp of water.

It worked for us.

Earth

All we have in this world, physically, is dirt and water. When you couple those elements with sunshine you can get color, structure, scents and everything else that we have in this world. It only requires one thing... a recipe.

You find that recipe in a seed. When a seed comes in contact with moist earth a reaction occurs that allows the seed to select different minerals from the earth to initiate a chemical reaction that causes something to grow.

When you look at that old brown dirt you cannot see green, yellow or any of the colors, but they are all there.

Thank you God for bringing life to a planet that used to be just dirt and water.

Staying Awake

How to stay awake while driving long distances... sunflower seeds... or any little minimal activity that engages your brain.

Sinusitis

Why do we get sinus infections? Sinus infections are usually secondary to an inflammatory reaction in the sinuses. That is, our sinuses react to some allergen and the normal defense mechanisms are compromised and things start growing in the sinuses.

Mechanical removal (sinus flushing) of the allergens is beneficial. After I mow the grass I always flush my sinuses... you should see the particulate matter that comes out.

I used to raise turkeys and the young turkeys would come down with sinusitis, get very sick and eventually from it, in spite of my best treatment, which was systemic (injectable and oral) antibiotics. Finally I talked to an old Veterinarian and he told me to inject the antibiotic directly into the sinuses. I never lost another turkey.

When you think about it that makes a lot of sense because you can get much higher concentrations of antibiotics where you need them instead of using systemic antibiotics that are distributed through the whole body at a lower concentration.

Now a days in our practice the best thing I can do for a sneezing cat or dog is to send home nose drops. Here's how I do it: I take a small bottle of artificial tear soln. and add 2 mg Dexamethasone (steroid) and 20 mg Baytril injectable (Enrofloxacin). One drop per nostril twice daily for a week. I usually get a phone call from clients saying, "hey, these are artificial tears I'm putting up my cat's nose!" I explain again that I've added meds to them and explain tears end up in the sinuses anyway... they don't stay in the eyes.

It works in people too.

Introduction

I'm starting this blog because I think I have learned a few valuable things in my life and I want a forum to share them. A lot of people have taught me things over the years and quite a few of these folks have passed on. I don't really have a plan but will occasionally post things on a variety of subjects.

Thanks.

Rob
