Interesting Discovery About Raisins and Grapes

Have you ever wondered why raisins or grapes are toxic to dogs? 

Do you eat raisins or grapes? Do you drink wine? 

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you'll want to check out this very informative 14 minute video interview with well known veterinarian Karen Becker and Melissa Gardner, who has a very interesting background.






For a deeper look into fluoride check out the film Fluoride: Poison on Tap. Available on YouTube. You'll be amazed at what you'll discover.


A special note of caution about Fluoride: Poison on Tap: This is a great film but one of the doctors in the film suggests that the healthiest water is distilled water with some organic apple cider vinegar added for minerals, so as to avoid fluoride --  I have to jump in and say this: This is not a good idea! And please never give distilled water to your pets! There is a better way! A healthier way!

Distilled water has had not only all the chemicals removed but all the minerals too. For water to be balanced (healthy/beneficial), it has to have minerals. Distilled water is known as "dead" water. It has no life force energy. Drinking distilled water may be sometimes used for short periods for detoxification purposes but drinking it on a regular basis can deplete the body of minerals. 

And drinking apple cider vinegar, even when diluted in a glass of water, can make your teeth sensitive. I have sensitive teeth to begin with and can't drink ACV for this reason.

Another thing about distilled water is it can't penetrate your cells and properly hydrate you due to it's surface tension, as I talk about in more detail in my book Structured Water: Nature's Gift. However, structured water is water that is energetically alive, has a lower surface tension, and it is able to penetrate on a cellular level to hydrate you like never before.

It's not what brand or kind of filters the water has that you drink, but whether it's structured or not that matters. Structured water is the healthiest way to go. Keep your brand and filters if you want, but structure it!

Stop Vaccinating Seniors!

Another veterinarian speaks out about over vaccination of pets and says "Stop vaccinating your seniors, already!" This time it's homeopathic veterinarian Dr. Will Falconer, located in Austin, Texas.

As he points out in his article with the same title, "The expert telling you to re-vaccinate your already vaccinated senior pet should be told in no uncertain terms that they are out of line. How? Cite the real experts. The veterinary immunologists. They don’t profit from pushing vaccines, but they know far more about them than the rest of us. What do they say? Stop vaccinating."

Instead of going in for the "yearly shots" that we've been conditioned to do, take them in for a yearly (if not every 6 months as recommended for seniors) wellness check-up and blood work, as holistic veterinarian Dr. Karen Becker shares in her article Your Older Pets Special Needs and How to Meet Them. (Notice there is no mention of vaccinations in her article.)

Here's a great no-nonsense video explaining the facts about pet vaccines by Dr. Becker. 

And I'd like to mention that as she points out, boarding kennels don't recognize titer tests and they usually require more vaccines, such as kennel cough and the flu vaccines. All the more reason to use a Professional Pet Sitter like Cozy Critters Pet Sitters instead of boarding!



Veterinarian Dr. Jean Dodds is one of the foremost experts in pet healthcare. She developed NutriScan, which is the most accurate food sensitivity and intolerance test on the market. Check out her vaccine protocols for Dogs and Cats. Notice that she recommends you request the rabies vaccination that is thimerosol-free (or mercury free) when your pet is vaccinated for rabies. 

Yes, that's right -- the majority of rabies vaccines contain mercury additives. These additives go by different names –Thimerosal, Thiomersal, Merthiolate, and others. A real good reason to not over-vaccinate and when your pet must get a rabies shot, to request one that does not contain mercury! 

Read what veterinarian Dr. Cathy Alinovi  has to say about this and other toxic ingredients in pet vaccines in her article What are the Ingredients of Vaccines?

The importance of pet parents educating themselves on which vaccines their pets need and how often cannot be stressed enough. Vaccines are NOT harmless.
