Comments on #22 Don Hamilton, DVM: Do nosodes really work? - Vital Animal® § The Natural Path

Hi there! I have a clarifying question about parvo and distemper. My puppy received her first DAPP vaccine at 7.5 weeks old (from the breeder). I’m hoping to support her in reaching strong natural immunity with as few vaccines as safely possible. Dr. Judy Morgan pointed me to your podcast on nosodes, which was really helpful!

My goal is to have positive titer results by 20 weeks old so she can safely begin puppy classes and obedience training. If I follow the protocol—alternating parvo nosodes one week, distemper the next, two doses each week—will that help her build protective antibodies naturally? And if her titers are positive at 20 weeks (she’s currently about 10.5 weeks), is that considered equivalent to a fully vaccinated puppy at four months?

Also, if her titers remain positive annually, would that mean she wouldn’t need further vaccinations or NOSODES for these diseases down the line?

I loved listening to this podcast and I’m really interested in the weekly use of nosodes.
I am about to start on leptospirosis nosodes as I have rats in my garden
The homeopathic pharmacy where I bought the nosodes has said to do an initial 5 day course , followed by weekly for the foreseeable future as Lepto is everywhere .
He said almost the same as Don said re catching the window between possible protection versus treatment if the dog catches it.
But you then said you mustn’t carry on weekly with nosodes so I am now confused.
Would his suggestion be because Lepto isn’t a virus it’s a bacteria.
I look forward to your reply

Do you have a list of veterinarians that use nosodes and could guide me in administering them?

I’ve started using nosodes for parvo, distemper and heartworm. I still worry that my dog has developed immunity from the nosodes. Do I need to do titer tests to make sure he is protected?

I'm in Maine where deer ticks are everywhere and Lyme and coinfections are common. I pulled 6 ticks off my dogs head yesterday, temperature just over freezing, so they're gearing up already.

In the past I have given Ledum 1M 3x a day for 3 days for a Lyme prevention, following Stephen Tobin's protocol, but that's not something I want to do all the time.

I can get a B. Bergdorforii nosode at 6X potency. How often should I give a lyme nosode, and will this also help the coinfections?

Great episode!!!

So if nosodes aren’t necessarily needed after puppyhood, how would I increase my dog’s antibodies for distemper and Parvo? My pup is now 8 yrs old, has only had her initial shots, is raw fed, and given supplements. Her recent titre test determined low antibodies towards these diseases.

Thanks

Dr. Falconer, Can Rabies Nosode cause the third eye lid in my dog to become pink/red and cover 1/4 to 1/2 of his eyeball? Thats the only thing that I can think of that has caused this. I was giving him the drops orally. Last year I gave it to him topically. I took him to the vet about a month ago and she diagnosed him with conjunctivitis. Gave me this cream to put in every 12 hours for 7 days. 7 days came and went and the eye lid is still out but not as red It is taking a long time to go back and look normal.

Dr. Falconer, I just happened to find your 2021 podcast with Don, and I'm thrilled to know he's still around (somewhere)! I was a client (and friend) of his for several years in the 2000's, and we had talked about that same animal shelter story. Also, for one of his extended trips, he gave me YOUR contact info should I need help while he was away. However, we lost touch when I had no more cats, but I am now in need of him once again and I can't find him listed anywhere these days, plus the last email address I had for him seems to no longer work. Could you please, please let me know if you have his current contact info and if so, email it to me privately, or alternatively, could you ask him to contact me at my same email address (as provided for this comment section)?

I am about to take the "Covid" nosode for the first time and wanted some more information on nosodes. (I have never taken one before.) My homeopath gave me some information about them, but it was good to hear the animal experience.

Hi, Are there nosodes for cats for panleuk and fip?

I am planning to get a standard poodle puppy from a breeder who is also a friend. I know she vaccinates the puppies at 6 and 9 weeks. I will ask her not to vaccinate my puppy, and I think she would comply, but will that put my puppy at risk, or the other puppies?

I listened to the podcast on nosodes; my understanding is that my puppy could get parvo from the other puppies after they are vaccinated. If my puppy were to get the nosodes according to the protocol would that protect her?

This is great info! I just started my 4.5mo old pup on Parvo and Distemper nosodes. If we dose weekly (2x per week), can we give both on alternate days? This is different from the every other week dosage schedule but sounds more preventative. Thank you

Hi Dr. Will,

Fantastic interview!
Orion my Cavalier KCS was 1 year old on 11 Dec. 2020. I began G. McLeod's schedule for parvo & distemper at 13 weeks. He eats Raw Wild and Vital Animal at your suggestion and is truly a Vital pup. His last monthly dose was in October. From what I understand form this discussion he has had all these nosodes he needs...correct?
Many thanks for all your help.

Best regards,
Jan D

Excellent info, I have followed George Mcleod way, luckily I havent had any probs with my horses or dogs, however this certainly makes far more sense to me on a weekly or so basis. Mainly i have had rescue dogs so I end up giving them homeopathy to try and negate the damage done.
Keep up the great info
