I agree that the law requiring rabies boosters is harmful. But how do I apply this to life? How do I refuse to obey this law and keep my animals? Not looking for a fight. I just need a real answer on refusing this booster and not having my animals seized.

My one Yorkie went blind and died within less than a year of having the rabies vaccine at 9 yrs old and the other went deaf within 6 months at 11 yrs old and started having digestive issues and being sick and died within 2 years of having it after just turning 13. Both of them were never the same afterwards. We moved countries and they had to have them or else I wouldn’t have had it done. At the time, I didn’t realize that there was a remedy.

About 7 yrs ago I rushed my two border collies in to Tractor Supply for rabies shots after being bullied by the county to update or else pay a fine. They were a brother/sister pair, 12 yrs old and as lovely as could be. The sister almost immediately lost control of her rear legs. By day 3 I had her put to sleep because she was not able to stand, eat, potty. Her brother developed a heart murmur, was rapidly failing from it and was put down at home on Memorial day. He was my dog of all dogs and I still miss him.
I did not have a holistic vet at that time, which I do now. I know for certain the rabies shot killed both of them and I even filled out a VAERS report on the sister.
My vet knows that my next puppy will be our little secret. Either she sees her/him without rabies or my dog will not see a vet.
This has to be stopped. I followed the Rabies Challenge Fund, which I think was purposely sabotaged. MAHA for pets???

Dr. Falconer,

This article, "Part One Rabies Vaccine on Trail", is brilliantly written and inspiring! I have been following your writings for years and have 3 amazing, very sensitive dogs (all with health problems) that are still caught in this forced rabies vaccine medical nightmare.

We live in Pineallas County, FL, which you have written about before as being very corrupt as far as pushing their rabies agenda. We should have the right to pay their annual license fees and refuse further rabies vaccines, or prove they are already protected with a titer test. Can this legally be done? If so, please tell me how to achieve this and then if successful, I can share the path with others. Do we need to start by hiring an attorney or? I am fed up of these forced vaccinations being shoved down our throats!

Ps. Because of you and your course on heartworms and nosodes, I was able to find Dr. Todd Cooney (who knows you), in Indiana. Dr. Todd told us that after speaking with you, he decided to pursue homeopathy and switched from regular veterinary medicine. Because of this, we did a phone consultation with him. He was able then able to send us true heartworm nosodes for our 3 dogs, so we could quite their heartworm meds (one of our Papillon's had a near fatal reaction from Revolution). Dr. Todd was also able help our older dog FULLY recover from a lifelong leg injury she got when she was a pup (using C Traum). Homeopathy is TRULY amazing!

Your works is causing LOTS of good in the world and saving precious lives! THANKS for all that you are doing!

Aloha! Appreciate this. I am in a rabies free state (Hawaii) but I chose to bring my heeler here from the mainland about two years ago. Up until that point (she was 6 years old then) she hadn't had any rabies vaxx ever in any state on the mainland becauseI refused it.
Buuutttttt to get her here I chose to vaccinate her and do the titers (was there another choice??! now I am wondering) but anyway do you have a remedy you recommend for dogs that have had rabies and might benefit from some kind of detox from it?
I'm still feeling bad about all of that trauma and darn it, she was officially untouched before all that.

Thank you!
Maryn

yes my dog had loose stools and vomiting. I didn't relate it to the vaccinations.It seemed to happen with all the vaccinations. I have stopped all . She seems better but has developed strange behavior. Prom the short rabies course I definetly am blaming the vaccinations. She is 14 yrs old and has multilpe injections. Fear of noise is the worst and traveling in cars and motorhomes.

Interesting that he had skin symptoms and sulph was curative, sulph being Hahnemann's chief anti-psoric. Thuja is another commonly indicated anti-vaccinosis remedy frequently given based on Burnett's work, although I wager it is often given even when the symptoms don't agree. It's the main anti-psycotic remedy. Seems these vaccines are bringing out the latent miasmatic tendencies of these animals. Might be an interesting future article to take a shallow dive into this. Might be helpful for people who read these articles and, despite your admonitions to find a veterinary homeopath, attempt to treat on their own. Might increase their chances of helping their animals if they had a basic understanding of when to give sulph vs thuja vs merc.

I don't believe in viruses and I don't think bacteria cause disease. Therefore, I certainly don't believe in following a ridiculous law. I had to take my 10 year old cat in to be spayed finally and the receptionist told me she had to have her rabies. I said no and said she never goes outside and she's very healthy. After some arguing and my stating I will just go elsewhere, the vet relented and said as she is already ten years old and an indoor kitty, he would let it go. I was ready to fight to the death over it, ha ha! Kitty is still incredibly healthy and never been sick a day in her life.

I will be glad when owners feel confident to tell their Dr Whitecoat that their animal has already been vaccinated, so they do not need another shot. Thank you! Then, they just leave Dr Whitecoats office.

Thank you for publishing about the danger of vaccines. I am a trained "old time" Classical Homeopath. I groomed dogs and cats for over 40 years and watched my beloved pet clients fall apart after vaccines. I started educating my clients about the dangers. I made some headway but once a client is in the vet office they loose power and courage to stand up. My saddest case was when a wonderful sweet kitty went for her exam and against my warnings the owner let the vet give the annual rabies shot. The cat came home and went wild, climbed the walls, ran around, the owner was bit several times. They took the cat back to the vet, and what did the vet do -- OMG the vet gave the cat another rabies vaccine!!! What kind of thinking do we have here?? The cat had to be euthanized. I grieve as much as the owner, I loved all my clients. We need to find a way to educate pet owners. Thank you for listening.

I hate vaccines! I live for the day when everyone realizes that health does not come from a shot.

what can we as owners keep from having our animals snatched away by animal control agents? If someone rats you out and they show up at your door demanding the animal, what possible leg do I have to stand on? This would be the Rabies vaxx scenario from hell

I sold a Standard Poodle puppy to a family of whom gave her “ just one rabies vaccine “. at 5 months of age. Her human mom said she wasn’t right from that day forward and the dog knew it she said.
Fast forward to 10 months of age... she died from liver failure. Since the day she got her rabies shot she had diarrhea that couldn’t be cured with anything tried. She walked with her head cocked oddly to the side. She went from a bouncy healthy puppy to a weak quiet pup from the day of the vaccine.
The vet concluded that she had a liver shunt WITHOUT doing any testing. Puppy’s mom and I both know it was the rabies vaccine.

My Parson Russell Terrier , Murphy. Had 1 rabies vaccine after 1 year of age.(given a homeopathic remedy after) It was the only vaccine he's ever had. Within a day after receiving the vaccine, he started with full blown allergy symptoms, itching, digestive, some aggression. He will itch or bite himself to bleeding within moments. He's 12.5 yrs old now, his rabies titer still shows protection after all those years. We get short periods of time here and there when he gets some relief, but for the most part he's terribly itchy. Have tried many supplements, homeopathics, diet changes, even conventional meds....Breaks my heart.

My (now) 3 year old indoor kitty, Ollie, was vaccinated, as I adopted him from the shelter when he was 7 months old. I brought him for his physical and repeat vaccinations last year, after which he was sick for a few days. I am anti-vaccine for both myself and him. The problem is that I am hoping to have two residences to split our time that would be in two different states 2000 miles apart (where family resides), and Ollie and I will need to fly to and from once a year. How can we do this if his shots aren't 'current', since it is mandatory in order for me to take him on a plane? He is my emotional support animal but I doubt that will pardon us and allow us to travel anyway. I can't even find an alternative medicine vet in my area here in Albuquerque. I feel so defeated. I would never give him up. It appears I can't go forward with my plan to be closer to family.

My 4 year old cat, Balboa had his 2nd rabies shot and nearly died within days of receiving his "booster". My husband stumbled upon this article and I immediately ordered surfer and phosphorus for him. I gave him the dose in this article and within days, he was drinking. Balboa had a fear of drinking water. I had to give him 50 ccs of water via syringe multiple times a day and gave him unflavored electorate fluid so he wouldn't get dehydrated more than he already was. I couldn't afford to take him to the vet for IV fluid and was NOT about to take him back to the vet that nearly killed him with no regard to his failing health. Within a week of doing this and the sulfur then phosphorus he was nearly back to his old self. We were calling him a zombie cat. He did nearly everything he was doing prior to the shot with the exception of fetching his little mice but we could live with that since he was alive and thriving again.

Now fast forward to nearly 2 years since the shot, he is starting to display some of the same 'fears' he did after the shot such as he loved going outside on his harness to play in the back yard, then after the shot and we got him well enough, no fever and eating and drinking and such, he was afraid to go outside. I dug further into your articles and found one that talked about giving a dose of the homeopathic Jimsonweed weed, sorry I can't think of the homeopathic name of it. I also ordered that and it worked for a little while but now he's starting to do the same behaviors.

Please Dr. Folconer, can you please give me some insight on my little boy?

Hello!! LOVE your newsletter! I've fed raw/do titers since 1999 for my Standard Schnauzers and cats. I'm trying to join your "pack" and it (site) won't let me finish! Keeps saying my email is already in use and to log in, which I can't do! VERY frustrating!
Thank you and I hope I can join soon!
Sincerely,
Sue Arnold

I had two Pomeranians and one died about three weeks after having his Rabies Vaccine. We had to Euthanize him. He was roaming slowly from room to room aimlessly, He would just stop and stare at a wall.
I could see something had damaged his brain or Neurological system.
Later he would cry out in pain and try to talk to me in a strange voice. We rushed him to the Animal Hospital where we decided to put him to sleep. The Vet said his whole Neurological System was gone. He couldn't even stand by now.
Now, three years later I have to have my other Pom Vaccinated this week. I'm scared to do it. Is there anything I can give him to counter the affect of the rabies Vaccine?
Why are we allowing our Government to take our Right to Choose away from us? All we have to do is Unite and say NO. Stand up to them with overwhelming Numbers.

Do you know of any attorneys who protect animal owners who don't want to vaccinate? It's sad, but it feels like it's come to needing an attorney to keep an unvaccinated pet from being stolen/killed/rehomed by law enforcement. Having an attorney won't stop a surprise visit from an agency with a warrant to search and confiscate unvaccinated animals but it MIGHT get you your pet back sooner and get you out of some of the high boarding fees these authorities charge after confiscating pets.

Animal rights supporters don't realize that by enacting more and more "animal rights" laws, they give authorities dominion over our animals. These laws give authorities the right to confiscate, vaccinate, and often kill well-cared-for pets. Laws that give the government the right to decide what's good for our pets are always going to bite good pet owners in the butt. PETA would like to see that nobody has the right to own an anmal for any reason, but most people have no idea of their agenda and they don't think twice about donating to this cause. If PETA supports any law, I am immediately suspicious. Most people are overworked and tired so they don't have energy to research organizations or even look over the actual wording of laws. Even if they had the time, the laws are deliberately written in a confusing language. Thank God for the internet. Things will change thanks to people like you, dr Falconer (and people like me who do their best to lead the sheeple to you).

I like that pets have some protection so I'm not against animal rights laws. I feel they just aren't clear enough. There are dangerous people who torture animals and I feel comfort in knowing they can be locked up (where they hopefully will get help dealing with their own traumas) before they start doing the same to people. To us sensible folk, there's a huge difference between torturing animals and choosing to feed a raw diet (this got a dog rescuer charged with animal abuse) and abstaining from harmaceuticals. Still, we have to be very careful of what rights we hand over to authorities. Until the law changes to allow choice on pet vaccination, I feel I have to comply with the rabies vaccine mandates in the cities I visit. If there's even a small chance that animal control could confiscate a dog (in my case, a service dog) because it isn't in compliance, they'd immediately vaccinate the dog against 4 or 5 diseases in addition to rabies. While I fear the consequences of even a single rabies vaccine (the worst offender of all dog vaccines, I think), the risk of severe immuno-trauma (or death) from multiple jabs in one day is a bigger fear. Bear in mind, city shelters generally don't have staff to watch animals for vaccine reactions.

When lost animals are turned into shelters, the animals are vaccinated on intake regardless of if they have a microchip or other identification that offers the authorities a complete health history to include warnings of vaccine reactions, cancer, diabetes, etc. The exception is rabies vaccine. If a pet is wearing a current license, the authorities might abstain from offering a rabies vax. Thank God pets with known severe reactions can get exemptions and be licensed. Wearing a license may be the only thing to save them from getting a rabies vaccine and it *might* get animal control to look up their records to find the exemption which in turn *might* cause them to abstain from other vaccinations. Since I've worked with animal control, I know they make mistakes, but the internet and voices demanding accountabilty are making things better and better.

Shelters vaccinate on intake because they like to charge for the vaccines along with (generally) overpriced boarding. I encourage anyone who finds a pet NOT to take it to animal control, but to notify animal control and to put a flyer in the animal control's found pet log. In addition, they can use social media and classified ads to reach out to members of the ommunity for the sake of finding the pet's owner and/or a place for the animal to be fostered while a dliligent attempt at finding the owner is made.
