Replies on The Great Trifexis Hoax: 6 Ways to Spot the B.S.

If your pet started convulsing and then seizing or acting lethargic after you gave them medicine would you continue to give it to them? My 7 yr old Shih tzu has been a healthy dog and started seizing in January after giving her trifexis. Then again in March in April the seizures started getting closer . Instead of happening once a month they were every week. I stopped giving her trifexis in May and so far she hasn't had any seizures. I am going to try to find another way to treat her for heartworm. We wash our produce before eating it because of pesticides. Yet we cram a pill loaded with it down our pets.

I concur Cody. I've been rescuing/adopting and treating all kinds of dogs - but mostly large and giants as they are harder to find homes for - for decades (no I shall not divulge my age hahaha) I've been using products such as Program and an ivermectin/pyrantel med for heart worms since 1985 (when I graduated from med school ... people med, bc I love animals more!) and was able to have dogs in my own home. I'd used the same vet from '89 until his recent death in 2015, and he was always amazed at the longevity of all of my large breeds! egs. Gr Dane lived to 13 yrs, Newfie to 14, etc. Maybe it's luck/good karma/love I don't know, but I have had no reactions to any flea/heartworm meds (including Trifexis) - that would be in 21 dogs. When I was in med school and the pharmaceuticals were cost prohibitive I did use garlic etc. but I did not know of a heart worm substitute.
Now I do continue to use meds for fleas and heartworm, but I am SO sad that these kind dog lovers and owners have had such tragic events! I wish I could figure out what I am ... I guess, what I'm doing right ... and/or send my good fortune to you all!
And to those people who have not experienced any untoward effects - that's awesome! As an MD I do use medications, however if someone shows me an alternative therapy that works, I'm all ears!
Thanks!

Cody - It's so incredibly sad to me that you have such little compassion for other's lives: "Yeah, vaccinations have killed people, yet most people are still vaccinated." Take some time to research this, there are hundreds of thousands of people living with illnesses tied directly to vaccines, OTCs, environmental chemicals, conventional farming practices. These are the mystery illnesses and autoimmune disease "your body attacks itself" BS that simply clears a doctor and entire scientific community from their lack of understanding in how the human body works. The human body does not attack itself, that's completely false and undermines true health and hope.
There have been great advances in medicine but in chronic illnesses, it's failed miserably. The funding and testing are just not there to really make a positive and lasting difference in true health.
I value personal responses or reactions far more than scientific studies. Scientific studies are incredibly flawed and the ones that are created without ulterior motives are buried quickly with the hundreds of thousands of silly studies all funded to promote someone's profits. I also trust my gut over any sterile lab, in fact, anyone that undermines my intuition is a red flag. You might want to get outside and stand barefoot on the ground. Yes, this is an ancient technique that grounds one and the benefits of it could never be fully measured in a lab, nor does a lab care to measure the benefits of grounding unless someone can patent and profit from it. Critical thinking is pretty easy, anyone who defends the BS, to me, is either paid to do so or just disconnected.
