Comments on You Want to Detox a Vaccination? Think Again.

Dear Dr Wil. My animals ( 3xdogs and 3xcats) are my family and due to economic conditions we have to move countries in order to be able to live. They’ve only ever received first vaccinations, nothing since and enjoy a holistic lifestyle that I take pride in providing. The ‘moving country’ requires a rabies jab for each of them The one size fits all version too… whether they 25 lbs or 4 - as you would know. I can’t sleep now knowing I have to give them this in order to move. And not knowing for months and watching for symptoms on an ongoing basis, seems like potential torture - knowing I’ve inflicted this on them. Reading your comments that you can’t fully detox from this ‘energetic’ input is traumatic to appreciate too. Are there no frequency detox, like the Rife machine, that might address this? If you have any additional input to share that might me manage this unavoidable requirement for us to live, (the move), requiring this cruel vaccination, I would be infinitely grateful As an empath and rescuer of animals believing I would offer a long, and naturally healthy life, I’m not sure how to cope with this cruel imposition - it’s not just one life, it’s six!!!! Thank you

I think that when people ask for advice about "detoxing" from a vaccine, they are usually not referring specifically and only to the heavy metal dangers, but to vaccine harms in general. Thanks for the article.

My cat if almost 15 years old and two months ago, I mistakenly allowed my vet to give her a distemper shot and a rabies shot together. It wasn't until last week that I put two and two together and realized her new behavior of cleaning her back much more often and her lessening appetite dated back to the vaccinations. I took her back to the vet who tested her blood and she now has beginning kidney disease, which she did not have (we tested blood then) when she received the shots. I've tried an herbal detox and a Chinese kidney support, but she has refused to take them in any form. Do you have any homeopathic suggestions?

I am very frustrated with the vet system in place as it is and now that this VCPR new federal law has been established it's even worse. I don't want my new kittens shot up with anything but I cannot get any vet to do a neuter surgery without them. There are no holistic vets in my area at all. Sure people will say "so don't neuter them". That is not practical at al for me. They spray and make the home a mess, even in a kennel. They also yowl all day and night and I cannot live or sleep under those circumstances. One is male the other female. Cannot chance more kittens. I cannot get dental surgery done for my old and older cats unless they shoot them up. Poor things are suffering because of that. Dental pain, eating disorders etc. I feel helpless. Most of them have vaccine issues already because I either took them in because they were abandoned and already had several shots or I had to get care and no vet would see them without rabies shots. All of them are having health issues. Cannot afford more problems. I am angry and feel like I have no hope of helping them. This federal regulation bursting into states should not have been tolerated. I have searched for any holistic vet to help but they are hours away and I cannot make the trips for office visits. Besides none of them will do surgery anyway. Veterinary medicine has become my worst nightmare now.

We made a poor decision to vaccinate our 12.5 yo terrier mix and within two days he had licked off the hair around the site. He now is itching and is a bit aggressive, not like him. Uncomfortable and had trouble climbing the stairs.
We need help right away (8/16/24). Thank you!

My 13 year old siberian husky recently got vaccinated against my will. He had escaped and was taken to an animal shelter. Because I didn't have any records of vaccination in their system and I didn't have any papers to show recent vaccination. They took it upon themselves to vaccinate him for his "safety". I know the dangers of unnecessary vaccination and over vaccination so to find out what they did was so frustrating. Up until then my dog was still strong and lively especially for his age. Well after a few weeks I started to see major changes in his energy and just overall well being. I wanted to try out all the Venjenz products to see if that would help him. Is it possible for him to get back to the way he used to with those products or do I need to take him to a homeopathic veterinarian? Thanks so much in advance.

Most states will not honor the rabies titer Dr. Falconer. I am sad to say that SC will not or I would do it. We had one holistic vet that fought like hell to get it acknowledged but without success.

I see a lot of anecdotes here but not convincing evidence. I have my own anecdotes where I have healthy, long-lived dogs who have been vaccinated every 3 years for rabies and sprinkling of other vaccines. No chronic disease at all. No auto-immune problems. No allergies. We had a Lab that lived 15-1/2 years! I'm sticking with evidence-based dog care. I have an open mind for new studies such as the one from UC-Davis showing the value of later neutering for large-breed dogs. I even got the covid vaccine. If you haven't, you are elongating the pandemic for everyone else. And yet, no one is forcing you to do anything. Very accommodating I'd say. Enjoy your individual rights!

Our Frankie was a French Bulldog who passed away at the age of one. He began having violent seizures after our vet gave him dapp and rabies vaccine. We went to a vet neurologist after he had cluster seizures and was diagnosed with menigioencephalitis. After chemo, steroids, 3 seizure meds and $50,000 later his organs failed and passed. He was the absolute best. We finally were able to get our new Frenchie Jackson had I spaced out his core vaccines but he is 11 months now amd I am scared to give him his rabies shot that is required by law. Any advice?

We just got a 9 week old kitten. She's indoor only. So far she's had no vaccines. Our vet won't spay her unless she's fully vaccinated. How do you suggest we move forward? We live in Utah.

Did I read correctly in one of your responses that bovine colostrum is not absorbable and therefore does nothing to build immunity?

My mother is in an assisted living place. They called the other day saying Scarlet's paperwork is needed on her rabies vaccine (expired on April 7). Needless to say, she hasn't gotten it yet (PA mandates). Holding off as long as possible. Got results from core titer saying she is immuned, didn't get rabies. When she gets her rabies, could anything help? Thank you!

Dear Dr. Falconer,
Our sweet cat (age 10) was given a booster at a well cat check up. The vet told us she was "a fine specimen of perfect health."
Now she is lethargic, unstable when walking, disinterested in drinking, and lacking an appetite. We took her back to the clinic, and another vet said, "Its old age. You must expect these things. Likely arthritis, thyroid disease, or diabetes." I know my cat, and this is not old age! She changed within one week of her vaccination. Please advise me. I'm heartbroken to see our cat suffer and struggle. I welcome any help you can offer. Thank you.

Hi Mr. Falconer,
We have 3 Shiba Inu's from reputable breeder. These are now our 5th ones (we had two previously who passed). I have two girls and a boy. The girls are 4, 3 and the boy a year and 5 months. The girls we never had problems with and the set before were girls. The boy thought was a total sweetheart besides a very predatory hunting instinct. They are all raised on a complete raw diet. Our dogs are like our kids so we cuddle them, kiss them, etc. I always trusted them completely. Now at times they play rough or need to figure out the "pecking" order between them but they have been great. Last month I had our boy get his 1 year rabies shot along with the DHPP shot that was due. That weekend my husband sat down and hugged him and kissed him and without warning bit my husbands cheek and jumped up going berserk barking ferociously. My husband swatted his nose to get his attention to calm down. He had bully sticks in the bed and we chalked it up to guarding even though he never had food or chew toy aggression. Then a few weeks back my husband picked him up put him on his lap and hugged and kissed him and without warning he freaked out (the dog not my husband) bit my husband above the eye and then my husband covered his face and the dog latched onto his arm. He then stopped and then acted like "what did I do" and wanted attention from me and him. Again we figured ok maybe he is going through a stage and is not a huggy kind of dog. We get it. Then this weekend I was giving him attention just petting him making sure to keep my face away from his and he was fine for several minutes then when I re-petted his hip he turned without warning and bit my wrist. He didn't go berserk like with my husband but after he followed me around and was attached to my leg. Its like he doesn't know he is doing it and then is suddenly remorseful afterward. He also showed now signs like a normal dog would that was uncomfortable like growling or their neck hair going up prior to a bite. Several other things we noticed is sometimes you go to pet him and he is really submissive head, tail ears down and we have never ever harmed him or made him feel he should be like that around us. Then other times hes happy playing Shiba. Its like jekyll and hyde and now we are concerned since he is now biting randomly what will trigger him to turn on us. We spoke to the breeder who suggested seeing a homeopathic vet and some suggestions to limit touching for long periods of time. She is now thinking as we are from reading side affects that he could very well have reaction to the rabies vaccine. I am hoping the homeopathic vet has answers because I want our sweet little boy back and not be fearful of my own dog in my own home that he may bite me or someone else for that matter. Does the Lyssin I am reading about help to detox? What other things can we do for him? We just don't know what to do we want answers and not be fearful of our own dog.

I had a rabies titer test performed for my 7 yr old black lab. The test should 0.2 and I guess the WHO believes 0.5 is the measurement to support that the antibodies are strong enough that booster may not be needed. My concern in giving the booster she is considered stage 1 kidney disease (June 2018 bloodwork show SDMA at 14, creatine 1.2, BUN 17). Her tests back in March and August 2017 showed her SDMA to be a 16 (creatine changing from 1.1 to 1.5 and BUN around 15- 17)- her last two tests showed SDMA 13, 14 respectively with creatine at 1.2 and BUN at 17). I believe her numbers have gotten better due to changing her diet over to the the honest kitchen and incorporating holistic care/ supplements. She hasn't had a core vaccine since 2013 (we titer) and her last intranasal kennel cough vaccine was in 2016 (she would only get one a year but I wish I stopped sooner). I assume your suggestion to not have the booster? Or should I have it administered by her holistic vet?

What is your recommendation for the Hendra vaccine for horses. My 5 year old horse has never been vaccinated but where we are keeping her are requiring a Hendra and tetanus vaccine annually. The Hendra is a 3 shot series then boosters.

Got any proof?

I'm trying Thuja on three vaccinated Chihuahuas, and myself. I was forced to have 5 vaccinations wirhin several months. Hep A, Hep B, and Tetanus. I was disabled because the Fibromyalgia I had worsened. I hope this helps my hairless Chi, and myself. Ty so much, Robin

Hi! My 12 week old goberian has been lazy and uncoordinated since the day after his rabies shot. One week earlier he had his "first puppy shot", I'm still to investigate what it was. I didn't know about these side effects until now.
He starts eager to play and after a minute or two begins to unwillingly dip his head and tumble down. Then he just sits or lays down and looks at me confused. Could he be Dizzy? He's been like this for 4 days.
Before he was extremely energetic and wouldn't stand still for a minute. Please help!

I'm confused. Regarding you recommendation of TF for boosting immunity....I've been told by a veterinary/nutritional PhD that the colostrum in transfer factor cannot be absorbed or used by any ADULT, human, dog or cat! Any thoughts on this??
