Under the vaccine section it explains, that dogs don't need to have vaccine shots so many times a yr. In fact it's best for them not to have it at all.
Also about the toxins in the pets, it tells you what things you can do to clear it out of the system naturally. Using lemon juice, apple cider vinegar... etc..etc
Please read take the time to read.

I do not agree with that. For one thing some vaccines are required. Another thing, I've had young pups rescued that would have had a much healthier life if they had been vaccinated at the appropriate times. On the contrary, I've never had a problem from vaccinating. Regardless of how you feed, if they are exposed to a disease, they have the chance of contracting it.

I completely disagree with that article. It shows no science whatsoever to back up its claims. In many situations, I prefer naturopathy or homeopathy, but when it comes to disease prevention, I follow my vet's recommendations and the best that science has to offer.
If your dog never left your home (and your home was guaranteed not to have ever had any exposure to parvo and other dogs), this might be a valid stance. In our area, opossums, skunks, and raccoons are common. All of our dogs and cats are vaccinated.
Be careful what you choose to believe. The only thing that I agree with in that article is that your animals are totally dependent upon you. It's up to you to use common sense and listen to your vet to insure their health and safety.

There is "some" good info in that site. However, I would never support the decision to not vaccinate my animal against rabies . There's a reason it's required. Obviously, you've never had a pet to contract it. I'm sure you've never had a pet with parvo either. It's horrible. There are no ways to prevent it besides vaccines.

Oh I understand completely. All animals definately need rabie shots no question about it. The vaccines i won't give my dog often like they say your supposed to is those **** booster shots. Where you have to do 3 in a yr.
Now that i think about it, it's outrageous. =)

I have never heard of giving three sets of shots in a year! That's ridiculous. Puppies of course have to have them more often because they can't have them all at once, and they're smaller dosages. But I have never taken my grown dogs in more than once a year. The little ones we have to take twice because they can't handle all of them at once.
