Ik kreeg dit via een andere lijst,
Misschien staat het al wel ergens op de Barfplaats, maar kon het zo snel niet vinden.

NEW!!! VACCINATION PROTOCOL
by Dr. Jean Dodd
---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
All of the 27 Vet
Universities in the US have
followed the immunization protocol as suggested by Dr. Dodd for
years. All of these Hospitals will be changing their Vaccination
Programs apparently. This is welcome news and you should print this
out and take it with you to your Vet should you need reinforcement
against over-vaccination.
VACCINATION NEWSFLASH [CIMDA support] RE; J DODDS VACCINE PROTOCOL I
would like to make you aware that all 27 veterinary schools in North
America are in the process of changing their protocols for
vaccinating dogs and cats. Some of this information will present an
ethical &economic challenge to Vets, and there will be skeptics. Some
organizations have come up with a political compromise suggesting
vaccinations every 3 years to appease those who fear loss of income
vs. those concerned about potential side effects. Politics,
traditions, or the doctors economic well-being should not be a factor
in a medical decision.
NEW PRINCIPLES OF IMMUNOLOGY
Dogs and cats immune systems mature fully at 6 months. If a modified
live virus vaccine is given after 6 months of age, it produces
immunity, which is good for the life of the pet (i.e.: canine
distemper, parvo, feline distemper). If another MLV vaccine is given
a year later, the antibodies from the first vaccine neutralize the
antigens of the second vaccine and there is little or no effect. The
titer is not "boosted" nor are more memory cells induced. Not only
are annual boosters for parvo and distemper unnecessary, they subject
the pet to potential risks of allergic reactions and immune-mediated
haemolytic anemia. There is no scientific documentation to back up
label claims for annual administration of MLV vaccines. Puppies
receive antibodies through their mothers milk. This natural
protection can last 8 - 14 weeks. Puppies & kittens should NOT be
vaccinated at LESS than 8 weeks. Maternal immunity will neutralize
the vaccine and little protection (0-38%) will be produced.
Vaccination at 6 weeks will, however, DELAY the timing of the first
highly effective vaccine. Vaccinations given 2 weeks apart SUPPRESS
rather than stimulate the immune system. A series of vaccinations is
given starting at 8 weeks and given 3-4 weeks apart up to 16 weeks of
age. Another vaccination given sometime after 6 months of age
(usually at l year 4 mo) will provide LIFETIME IMMUNITY.
