   What is the wave of life all about?


Fellow travelers, let’s talk about our shared journey.  Visualize it as a perfect wave
and all we have to do is get out of its way and enjoy the thrilling ride on the eternal wave of being. That being said, how do you get into the wave and stay in the tube without hurting yourself and others? As you can see, I am a big fan of surfing and love the concept of being one with the wave and going with the flow of wave energy. It is this wave energy that defines us all and all that is in our universe. An excellent film that explains the wave concept of healing is the Living Matrix http://thelivingmatrixmovie.com/  . This film should be viewed by all veterinarians and medical doctors to show them energy medicine is the only real medicine that has any possibility of helping the body cure itself without doing harm to it in the process.

 When we are working to help our animal friends, our main goal is to prevent suffering and do no harm. Unfortunately, in 2010, so very few traditionally trained veterinarians can accomplish this goal.  Why?  Most veterinary schools do not provide Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAVM) in their training programs.  What can we do to effect a change so that new, upcoming veterinary graduates have a working knowledge of CAVM?  Become proactive.  Yes, to help make changes in the types of health care provided for our precious animal companions, it is up to us as individuals (and that means you, dear reader), to contact your local veterinary school in your state, and request that they add CAVM to their core educational program so new graduates will have some working knowledge of CAVM. You can also ask your veterinarian to write the AVMA at http://www.avma.org/about_avma/governance/strategicplanning/scan/default.asp and tell them we need CAVM in the curriculum. They are asking for input from veterinarians by March 20, 2010 to set the direction for veterinary medicine of the future.

Danger Ahead!.........and it’s NOT these beautiful cats.
Meet Larry & Curly, Dr. Blake’s good friends….. and heed their warning
about the dangers lurking everywhere.


Dr.B
lake's good friends, Larry and Curly, have brought the following information to him and it needs all of our immediate attention to help protect his human buddies from further harm. Most people in this country and the world think pesticides and herbicides are safe to use in our homes, yards, parks, forests, businesses and crops. We have all been duped by the greed of industry for over 100 years to believe if you wait an hour after you spray these toxins on the ground they somehow magically are no longer toxic to you or your beloved pets.  Wrong! 

I have had countless cases of animals with chronic illnesses that come up once a month and no one can figure out why they vomit, lose their appetite, have diarrhea or worse. When I ask them if they use chemicals or have a monthly service they oftentimes answer, yes. When asked when symptoms present themselves, it turns out it is right after the home and yard are treated with these supposedly safe chemicals. 

You can go to  http://www.chem-tox.com/pesticides/ and become informed about the dangers of these products and share this with all you know. The only way we are going to help our animals and ourselves get healthier is to create a healthier world in which we can live.  Start by using natural fertilizers and pest control in your yards and homes. You can read about some the natural essential oils you can use for this purpose on my essential oil page http://thepetwhisperer.com/essential_oil.html and flea page http://thepetwhisperer.com/Fleas.html .

 

What is Dr. Christian upset about now?

Recently Dr. Christian Blake, 7 years old, was at a wedding rehearsal. At a break in the rehearsal, he asked the groom if he could speak to him in private. The young man knew Dr. Christian from playing video games with him, and respected his superior intelligence in the matters of video games and medical advice. Dr. Christian said the following: "You are about to be married and have children. I recommend you not vaccinate your children because there is a very good chance it will make them ill or kill them." The young man thanked Dr. Christian for his wisdom and replied, "I have been reading about the connection between autism and vaccines and want to thank you for warning me."

Dr. Christian is only 7 years old and he is more informed than all of the government officials who run the medical care in this country. He has asked all of us to write President Obama at http://www.whitehouse.gov/CONTACT/  and tell him your concerns and share what I have written in my newsletter. Our only hope is that he will use his beautiful mind to correct this insane idea of vaccinating healthy people with a dangerous substance that has never been tested for safety. Get off your rear ends and make sure people are not killed by this money-making propaganda NOW.

 For more information to read and share with all you know, please read our vaccine page http://thepetwhisperer.com/Vaccinations.html and also visit http://drtenpenny.com/default.aspx which is Dr.Sheri  Tenpenny's D.O. Web site on vaccines and the dangers of vaccinated children as we know them today.

  

Dr. Louie's Quote for the month.

"The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person doing it." Unknown author, but Dr. Blake has said it so many times he gets credit for it :O)

"The glory which is built upon a lie soon becomes a most unpleasant encumbrance. How easy it is to make people believe a lie, and how hard it is to undo that work again!"- Mark Twain, in Eruption .

If he were alive today, I am sure he would be applying this quote to the use of vaccines and prescription-drug-based medicine as a most unpleasant encumbrance.  i.e., Side effect: DEATH.

 The gift of fantasy has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing knowledge.
- Albert Einstein


Man will occasionally stumble over the truth, but usually manages to pick himself up, walk over or around it, and carry on.

- Winston Churchill

Again, this would apply to the religion of medicine as we know it today. The Earth was never flat and we believed that for 2000 years. Now we are faced with 500 years of flat-earth medicine which has no scientific basis and we still blindly follow a neutonian-based medical methodology imposing itself on a quantum-based patient (energetic being). An energetic being needs to be treated with energetic medicine. It is that simple, yet we manage to put the truth aside and pick ourselves up, walk around it, and carry on. Go figure.

What is Healing and how do I know my furry friend is getting better?

Before one can decide on a modality for treating their best friend they first need to know how to recognize when their friend is healing or just having symptoms covered up. This is the most important part of any treatment protocol, no matter what it may be.

First of all, we have to understand what symptoms mean before we can effectively treat them. The number one rule to remember is, the symptoms the body creates are its attempt to heal itself.  Going a step further, symptoms are the body’s way of letting us know something is causing distress.  They are not something that ought to be masked with bandaids; they need to be addressed – the underlying cause must be found to get rid of the effect, which is the outward symptom asking for attention.

A good example of this is vomiting. If your pet ingests a toxin or reacts adversely to something that has entered its body, one of the means it has to remove the etiology is vomiting. If the vomiting is short-lived and results in the patient feeling better, it is a healthy response by the body. On the other hand, if the vomiting is so intense it is life threatening, it is an over response of the body and may result in damage or death.

As the caregiver you must make the choice to treat or not to treat depending upon the intensity of the symptoms. The more you become comfortable with the principles of healing, the better you will be prepared to make this decision.

The sympoms that you observe in your pet are not arbitrary but carefully orchestrated by the multi- facet survival system that is build into to each living being. By understanding the purpose of each symptom you can better understand how to manage the case without doing any harm. Unfortunately, the allopathic methodology we have been using for the past 500 years can actually make the patient worse off than with no treatment.  I’m sure you’ve heard the phrase ‘The doctors killed him with the treatment protocol before the disease could kill him.’  I know that is a bit confusing but think of this way.  Your dog gets a fever and you give him a drug to suppress the fever. What have you done? Obviously reduced the fever but in fact you have removed one of his defense mechanisms and allowed the disease process to proceed at its own pace rather than being slowed down or cured by the fever.  More confusion?  Visualize this:  When the fever is not excessively high, to the point where the patient is in danger, then that fever is working to kill whatever pathogen is currently  threatening the body by raising the temperature enough to burn it out.  We will discuss the red flags for fever later in the book but for now I want you to think of the fever as friend to your pet, not an enemy.

Now, what have you done by reducing your dog’s fever unnaturally with a drug?  Not only have you suppressed an integral part of the immune system’s defense mechanism, but you have now added a drug to the body to which it must respond. For every action, there is reaction, a basic law of physics we all learned in high school. There is a primary effect of the drug which is its indicated action, i.e., the use of aspirin to suppress the fever. However, there is also a secondary reaction to the drug itself, referred to with the euphemism side-effect. In the case of aspirin it could be vomiting, diarrhea, ulceration and bleeding. In this case you have added more work for the body to do instead of focusing its energy on repairing what is already in the body.

Dr. Albert Schweitzer once said,”The sole purpose of the physician is to awaken the doctor within.” This observation by Dr Schweitzer was profoundly accurate.  Before rushing into a healing modality, it must be evaluated according to the need of your animal.  Does what you do help awaken the doctor within your animal friend or does it do harm.  The true healer is the body itself, not the doctor who applies the remedies. 

I am trained in allopathic medicine and know that it has a place in the theater of healing modalities. Should an animal need surgery to save its life or improve its quality of life, of course I would recommend it but only if it was a last resort. By this I mean we have the opportunity to use a less invasive approach to help the patient before resorting to surgery. The same goes for the use of drug therapy. There is a place and time for some of the drug therapies available to use but I have found you can help animals 95% of the time without them and reduce the risk of side effects, i.e., toxic reaction, by avoiding the use of these compounds. If I have a diabetic dog or cat, I put it on insulin and begin working on helping that animal’s system do its best to get off the insulin. The insulin is necessary in this case to keep him or her alive long enough for my integrative approach to take effect. This is using an integrative philosophy but doing it in a conservative manner, rather than using drugs indiscriminately when there are other options available to us.

A basic fact about viruses, bacteria, molds and toxins is they enter the body through the digestive system 80% of the time. Realizing this alerts us to the fact that we need to put our efforts into preventive care by doing all we can to insure our pet’s digestive system is at an optimum level at all times.

All of the above etiologies are attempting to enter the body, and the body’s basic defense response is to push it out or prevent it from entering the body in the first place.

The basic signs of healing are:

  1. The patient has an improved sense of well being, i.e., he or she feels better.
  2. The symptoms move from the inside out in line with the principle of exteriorizing the etiology.
  3. The symptoms improve from top to bottom. As the healing process progresses in a normal healthy manner the symptoms on top clear and the lower symptoms clear last.
  4. There is an appearance of discharge from the body as an indication the etiology is moving from inside, deeper to the surface or exterior of the host.

No matter what modality you are using, these are your guidelines for determining if you are truly awakening the doctor within or impeding the doctor from healing your animal friend.

Here is a story to illustrate the above lesson in “what is healing.”

Years ago a male dachshund named Willie was brought to me because all else had failed to awaken the doctor within him. Both of his hind legs were paralyzed and had been for months. He had been diagnosed with a compressed disc in his lower spine that had damaged the nerves and left him paralyzed. He had been operated on but the surgery was not enough to help him walk.

His dear caregiver had contacted me, inquiring about acupuncture, to see if it might help him walk again. Sadly, I told her, the odds were next to 0% that it would have any effect after all this time. She cried and then told me he was her best friend in the entire world. She explained how he had seen her through some tough times in her life and she wanted to do all she could to repay him for his kindness over the years.

I agreed to do my best and had her make an appointment to bring him for evaluation and treatment. When the day came, I could see how much she loved Willie but also the sadness they both carried in their hearts. He was great sport about being examined and kissed my hand as I went over his frail little body, checking for any sign of nerve activity in his hind quarters. Sadly, I found none, and told her my findings.

Tears welled up in her eyes and my heart felt very heavy with the sadness that flowed down her cheek. We were all quiet for a time and then she spoke. “Dr Blake, I hear your words but I want you to do what you can to help Willie and no matter how it turns out, I will forever be grateful for the hope you have given me.

I treated him with acupuncture, homeopathy, glandular therapy, gemmotherapy and essential oils on his spine for nerve healing. After our treatment session I told her to follow my instructions and we would do another treatment in one week. She started to leave and then turned and gave me the best hug I could ever hope for. Here tears fell on my arm and she said to me, “Thank you for caring and not giving up my Willie.” At that point I needed that hug more than she would ever know and at that moment had a fleeting vision of Willie walking again.

The weeks came and went, with very little change in his physical condition, but Mary kept telling me he was happier and he was feeling better than he had felt in the past six months. I had told her to watch for any discharges and to let me know if they should appear. One day I got a call: “Dr. Blake, Willie has a boil on his right rear leg!”  She was so excited she could hardly contain her enthusiasm. No tears; just words of happiness.

She described the mass – about the size of a golf ball and very firm. Willie could care less about it and so I told her simply to watch and observe its progress. Three days later my phone rang once again. Mary was so excited I could hardly understand what she was calling me about. Evidently the mass had ruptured over the previous night and a fowl green discharge oozed out of it. She had remembered my instructions not to take him to the emergency room and have them use any drugs on him but instead just kept it clean with soap, water and calendula tincture to help draw out the toxins.

Finally she settled down and what I heard made my heart smile big-time. He had moved his foot for the first time in over six months. I told her it might be a reflex but I would check it when he came the following week. Never in my wildest dreams was I ready for what was to come.

The day came for his weekly acupuncture treatment and guess who walked in? You guessed it!  Willie. It wasn’t a pretty walk but it was the most beautiful walk I had ever seen. He was staggering across the exam room and headed right for me. Mary’s smile filled the room and Willie made my heart burst with joy.

We had the best appointment we had ever had and I told Mary that he was on his way. All we had to do is get out of the way and let his miracle grow each day.

When Mary and Willie walked out of my office, I knew in my heart the path I had chosen was preventing suffering and doing no harm. At that very moment, Willie turned and looked at me, cute as a button, he winked at me and I felt him say, ‘Thank you for caring about me.’

This is one of thousands of stories I have experienced on my journey as an integrative veterinarian. I  pray that other veterinarians will embrace what I am about to teach you and feel their hearts smile as it has thousands of times over for me.

Why are these two guys so upset about?

The boys just found out that Senator McCain has once again come up with a brilliant idea that benefits the pharmaceutical cartel and prevents citizens of the United States from having freedom to use nutritional supplements rather than drugs under prescription regulation and control. A bill recently introduced to the U.S. Senate, the Dietary Supplement Safety Act of 2010 (S. 3002), by Senators John McCain and Byron Dorgan, is possibly the most direct assault on natural health freedom we have seen for some time.  Read between the lines with this link http://www.thenhf.com/press_releases/pr_19_feb_2010.html

 Do your part and write your senator at  http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm and tell them to vote no on senate bill (S. 3002). Here is a link https://secure3.convio.net/aahf/site/Advocacy?cmd=display&page=UserAction&id=510.  To help get you started, all you have to do is fill in the blanks.  Express your feelings about having the right and freedom as an American citizen to decide what you wish to use in your personal health care. NO MORE government and big business controls on how we wish to care for our personal health for the sake of greed and power. Fascism is not Democracy and this bill is fascism at its finest.

You can make a difference by making your words heard. The Power of ONE is alive and well and it is time for us all to stand up and get rid of the dead wood in our government who still believe what is good for their bank accounts is good for the American people. Vote for people who want integrative medicine to be a part of our health care system so we can begin to get real healing from our doctors instead of more drugs and chemicals.

The most recent study shows that the number one drug addiction in the United States is PRESCRIPTION drugs for kids and parents alike. The kids have pill parties (called pharm parties) now with all the legal drugs their parents have sitting on the counter and just mix them up for fun and see what happens.  Oops, guess some of these kids haven’t been advised of some of the side effects:  DEATH being one of them from which they cannot recuperate. Excuse me for not using the preferred words now for DEATH, Cessation of LIFE.  That’s just a bit too pretty for this picture.  Now doesn't that make you all feel better? I SURELY HOPE NOT.

 The other bit of good news is they have finally found the number one killer in the United State ahead of cancer and heart disease…..doctors themselves!  That’s right, iatrogenic causes of death are doctor-induced, either with incorrectly prescribed drugs or botched surgeries.  Ouch!  Now that is one thing I would surely not like to see on the resume from the healer I select to help me with my health.

 It is time we all got off our collective butts and started contacting our Senators and told them we want change or get another job. It can be done if we all join together as a collective consciousness and vote as one UNIVERSAL MIND, on the HOLY ROAD to the UNIVERSAL MIND. Be worthy of the DREAM that is COMING TRUE and call Oprah, Martha Stewart,  Ellen Degeneres, etc. and tell them you want them to help get the word out about alternative medical care. You can also start calling veterinary hospitals around the country and telling them you want alternative services made available in their hospitals for the care of your animals. The wheel that makes the most noise gets oiled. This is the way it has always been. Be the Change you want to see in our WORLD, NOW!

Enjoy your ride on the perfect wave of life!

Dr. Christian, Dr. Louie and Dr. Blake want to wish you the best Spring ever for 2010. Spring is WOOD/LIVER time, so do your Liver and Gallbladder a big favor by doing a liver/galbladder detox for six weeks and make your liver and gallbladder smile big time. Dr. Louie and Dr. Blake's favorite cleanse is COMMON JUNIPER (gemmotherapy) once per day for six weeks. http://thepetwhisperer.com/gemmotherapy.html 

Stay safe and do not over-vaccinate, use herbicides or pesticides in your home, yard or on your pets….or on yourself or your children.   Make today a great day.

 Oh, just one more thing………..Drs. Christian, Louie and Blake ask all of you special readers to share our web site with everyone you know and ask them to do the same.  As the song says, “Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me!

 

These guys are laughing at the Flu Shot two–for-one-sale hoax!

 Do NOT get a flu shot. Also make sure you stay away from the pharmacy in your grocery stores when they are vaccinating people internasally. You can inhale this same nasal mist and be vaccinated against your will. Please pass this on to help others.

 

Do us a big favor and put a vote in for homeopathy in the U.K. , where it is under attack once again by the pharmaceutical cartel. http://www.gm.tv/polls/45561-homeopathy-effectiveness-online-poll.html . Let the world know you believe in Homeopathy by making your voice heard.

OAO,

Dr's. Christian, Louie and Blake
