Comments on Kill Germs! Wait. Will That Cure?

I have seen this and have been trying for almost 2 yrs. to help one of our shepherds w/chronic ear infection. The past 9 mos. to a year, they have been sloshy and tinged w/blood. We've tried everything. Early on, I reluctantly took her to vet twice and used claro, but when it didn't help, we decided we'd just have to find what works on our own. We've tried so much and even tried a homeopathic formula that didn't help. Now, I've resorted to olive oil w/oil of oregano drops in it and also colloidal silver in aloe gel (I added some grapefruit seed extract to both of those concoctions, also). Everything seems to help initially, but then fails.

Is there something you can recommend to help w/our dog's ear suffering?

Our other shep just recently started having these eruptions that scab up all around her neck and down her back. Not sure what's going on there. They are both 3 (10/7), and it's been 2 yrs. since any vaccine. I despise vaccines and fretted over giving them the parvo and rabies one, but we almost lost a shep to parvo and we didn't want to chance it after much research. We waited until they were 16 wks. before the parvo and a year for the only rabies they'll ever get.

Hi! You are correct. Germ Theory, is only a theory and not truth. There is a doctor who agrees with you, even in the face of CoVid19(84). See Dr. Andrew Kaufman.

Hello Dr Will,
I am a holistic Vet in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I have been really struggling with Vet medicine for several years. Finally started moving out of the White Coat paradigm in 2001 (graduated in 1997) and have slowly been figuring out things since. I added TCM to my practice in 2005, but I just never found it to work well. Always searching for a truly curative medicine, I have finally hit upon homeopathy! However, I now have so many options in front of me!! I would really love your advice on course recommendations, books, etc so I can obtain a good education in this challenging field of medicine. I was recently offered an online course with Julie Anne Lee, but she "offered" said course for $30,000!!!! I would love to hear what you recommend when you have time!
Thanks in advance for you time and help,
Corinne Chapman, DVM

Howdy Dr Falconer ~ I am really enjoying your weekly postings and finally have a minute to respond. This week's topic hit home. A couple of months ago I came down with a cold that last for 3 weeks and it was probably the flu. I was chilled, weak, couching etc and unable to take care of our rescue pups and our own dogs. My husband Phil took off from work and picked up the slack. We were both worried because we thought he'd get sick as well. Two days into my illness Phil was achy & chilled so he took a nap and took some honey tea. The next day he was fine. As we look back Phil was healthy and eating nutritious foods. I was sleep deprived and snacking on junk because I was overdoing it with the bottle babies. No wonder who got sick! Thanks for all you do.
Blessings,
Christine

Dr. Falconer;
Finally I read an opinion that makes so..... much sense. My 13 year old "Moose" female rotty was diagnosed with a bladder infection 1.5 years ago. Symptoms: Urinating 3-4 times on walk instead of her normal 2. Went to traditional vet and you know the rest. Took urine sample (crystals), took x-ray confirmed crystals, blood in urine due to irritation and sample came back positive for "staph". Was on antibiotics for 14 days, all went well then it came back. Went to my holistic vet: she put her on tinkle tonic, l-methionine, crystal free, etc. and check her pH. Even with the addition of kidney beans, celery and cucumber (cooling foods) Moose pH is still about 7-7.5. She eats freeze dried food for years now, no vaccines, no chemicals AT ALL. I have decided to start cooking real food for her and her sister because I am tired of all these recalls.
Thanks for your article!
