Comments on Beware Misinformation from “Experts” - Vital Animal® § The Natural Path

You provide this protocol for puppies who have not been vaccinated, but what should one do for adult dogs that have already been vaccinated? We have two rescued Border Collies who received vaccinations before we got them, but I don's want to give them any more. Would your protocol serve to "boost" them for life?

I have a rather cynical opinion on experts. There are two kinds: those that get that status due to years of experience and those who acquire it by attending institutions that we are now finding out have an agenda. Experts by book learning is part of the control mechanism set up: we are told we are too stupid to know things like nutrition or being well and that we must listen to all these people whose expertise is from a book.

Experts who are licensed can contribute to a healthy discussion on things like vaccines in which the public has very little knowledge. Some experts take advantage of their position by using their academic credentials to bully one to accept an argument that the listener knows intuitively is not correct; others use it to help the listener understand the issue better and arm them with enough information to understand the vocabulary (a big part of literacy) so that they can do their homework.

We have been brainwashed into outsourcing our critical decisions to others whom we believe know more. They do and that is why we ask them questions. So far so good. However how many of them are real experts interested in fostering intelligent discussions and how many of them are interested in cutting off discussions by touting their credentials?

I too have letters by my name having paid a lot of money to get them. But two years out of school the information becomes stale and a practice is one of the best ways to stay current. I have quite a bit more respect for practitioners in the animal space regardless of their education because a lot of those I know or follow have enough humility to know the limitations of their academic learning and only rely on it when it comes to using the language with colleagues or reading papers written by other experts. Otherwise they rely on a actual experience and to me the best experts are those who use their book learning to fine tune their skills to become better at their craft: in this case healing sick animals.

Anyone who has done legit research, meeting the rigourous standards and protoccols, accounting for and removing every possible confounding variable that could cause your study and conclusions to be attacked and has passed peer review and become published and not on the internet and not in some popular magazine, knows when they see bad science. I have always gone after bad science published in public media that gives an uneducated public horrible misleading info. We are even talking about university supported research. You usually can tell in the write up because you see a huge leap in conclusions or misinformed researchers, in using previous documented results quote conclusions wrong or as in a medical profession quoted public health completely wrong. During and post covid I was fighting this everyday and it was exhausting, I even forced a totally incorrect opinion from John Hopkins off the internet and social media, because his information about measles was so wrong and he was using it to support his opinon on covid. Post, the worst of it, a university in Britain, and the UK, all of whom had had the most transparent and up to date findings of anyone in real time, in the absence of what the NIH was doing to mislead, well only one particular person, I was very disappointed to see a very sloppy piece published on the internet. This had to do with our pets. They were finding that patients with covid had dogs at home with covid and saying they were getting it from their dogs. I put a stop to that ASAP and force them off. They had no way of telling who had covid first and we do pass it to our pets, they just made the leap that the dogs gave these patients covid. The patients themselves had far more sources of contact to pick up covid than the stay at home animals. They didn't bother to track routines and other sources of contact they just decided if the dog also had it then the dog made the owner sick and it is much more likely the owner made the dog sick - they have to be fed and watered and were sleeping in close proximity and I am sure when feeling bad owners cuddle their dogs more with us coughing and sneezing, not washing hands before filling water bowls or touching food bowls and maybe the food - I lost a beautiful big bird that way when I had the flu, and then years later a couple of dogs within a week of each other from a virus (coughing and probably a corona virus) picked up at the specialty vet and yes the humans were sick, we talked about it at the hospital and they weren't cleaning the rooms after each pet, droplets were still there. The first dog died and the next day I got sick and so did the other dogs and then they started coughing but the one who died didn't, didn't show illness was just quiet and suddenly went critical. When it comes to covid or anything that might be covid or even the flu I keep my animals away from me and wash my hands. I top their food with greek yogurt and we dont waste so anything that sticks to the spoon so I clean it off with my finger into the bowl and I make sure my fingers are clean just before especially if I could have touched my face, blown my nose or coughed because as simple as that you could infect them. I knew what the reaction of an uninformed public would be and made sure the article was removed. You have to know human behavior and how it has changed, it is lazy and will believe anything especially if someone claims authority or expertise. I decided not to publish the facts from a very long study in about 2011, because I was afraid what people, hateful people would do with the results, using the results to justify prejudice and hate, I could not live with that. Seeing now what we have become I was right not to do it. But someone with a huge ego would not have cared, a person with the need for attention and praise would not have cared, personal agendas can make you ignore contradictions, it is easy to make statistics say what you want, to leave out results that dont support your theory, to validate what you believe, even easier to misquote results by using only partial statements misleading the public, so sometimes the misrepresentation is the media. Please be careful of everything you read on the internet and especially social media, especially if someone is selling or promoting something. Always check credentials, a doctor or whatever, you would be surprised a Phd in marketing being used to sell weight loss products calling themselves Dr. Look at reputation, one a "Life coach" selling seminars was a researcher in MK Ultra that experimented on people for the CIA, and a doctor of theology doesn't qualify you as a psychotherapist either, do you recall you that was, people with agendas will mislead, I mean they all told the truth they were doctors and let the public just assume the rest. Saying "a study showed", well I can go to the grocery store and take a poll from customers and call it a study that doesn't make it legit, or valid. How about the insurance industry after covid making the claim that after a study that they found that people who had accidents had covid, for one I doubt they got everyones medical records, or that an claims adjuster went around doing covid tests or police on the scene were checking for covid, they were looking for a way to deny claims as if someone was under the influence, there was no way they could have made that leap. I immediately went after them. So be careful what you believe, do your homework before you let them hook you and get you all upset, scared or outraged, resulting in doing something you might regret.

Can your parvo/distemper nosode protocol be started at 3.5/4 months old? I recently purchased your kit as well as Venjenz, but then I read that it “can be started at 8weeks” and should continue through 9 months. We’ve already taken pup on a short hike and to our local (small) college and a farmer’s market - not even thinking about the risk of her contracting an illness, which I feel terrible about now… but on the other hand I’m wondering if because of those outings, she might have formed natural immunity to the live viruses. I guess I’m mainly asking if our pup is now at a higher risk for starting nosodes, since she’s older (born 2/2/25) & her maternal protection is waning.

I was at a seminar that Dr. Schultz gave many years ago. He spoke about the rabies challenge work he was doing to prove that immunity lasted at least 7 years from the vaccine if that's the way people went. Most do go the vaccine route. I have to wonder if he is out there pushing for the 7 year plan. It has been a long time. I also asked him about nosodes and he emphatically stated that they didn't work and didn't want to be questioned about the protocol. Makes me wonder if he is just another doctor working for big Pharma. Fortunately, I think the tide is turning and people are becoming aware of the dangers of these injections for people and our pets.

Thanks for this blog.
I am left wondering how would you have done the study differently? how would you have designed the nosode part of the trial?

So Dr. Falconer, since you are mentioning Jean Dodds and her Nutriscan test (which I did for my dog)... are you saying we should take the results of this test with a grain of salt? My dog had "sensitivities" to 3 proteins, two of which I know for certain he never had (rabbit and venison). Is it even possible to be sensitive to something he's never had?

Do you ever recommend giving a parvo shot to animals, beyond their first puppy shots? If not, what do you recommend?

Hi, below is my Parvo nosode schedule I gave to my pup from the time she was 7.5 weeks old. (She was born May 30, 2021

I bought parvo Nosodes from a very reliable source (one of your homeopathic colleagues) and administered them per their directions. I kept my Nosodes (& still do) in a protective emf bag.

For the first 11.5 months I was very careful where I took my pup. I still took her out but wasn’t careless, like dog parks etc. She had her first heat at 9.5-10 mos. Has always been fed a raw diet.

We went on a camping trip when she was almost a year old. I thought she was old enough to start taking her places. Long story short- she contracted parvo on that trip. She was in the hospital for 6 days.

Thankfully she came through the Parvo and is a healthy adult dog.

BUT: she got sick with Parvo even though I faithfully followed my homeopathic advice and schedule using the Parvo Nosodes
(My homeopathic vet told me it was highly unusual that she got Parvo)

*Any thoughts on why the Parvo Nosodes didn’t protect my pup?

Thank you so much for responding to Dr. Dodds Facebook post. As a holistic vet, I have been recommending your distemper/parvo nosode protocol and my heart sank when I saw her Facebook post. I knew where this was heading and didn't want my clients to feel I steered them in the wrong direction. Fortunately not one of my clients have asked about her post :-) but now I have your well thought out response to share.
Many Blessings

and yet again we, the pet parents, who are appointed to be the voice of our animals are left to muddle through the black hole of division amongst "professionals"..... so tired ????

Dr. Wil, I am SO happy and grateful you weighed in on this “hot topic”. I bought your course and nosode kit years ago.
I read her post and became so upset knowing you and Dr. Todd Cooney (for two) have had great success using nosodes (notably parvo nosode) in practice. Frustrated by her hubris and censorship for any other conclusion. I’ll have to chalk up her poor study and consequent [wrong] results to ignorance. Why is she threatened by something so effective as Homeopathic Nosodes? I’m left wondering why she would do this and who’s paying for her research. Nosodes deserve proper accolades and guidance from a trained and skilled homeopath.

Nosodes worked perfectly on my puppy (who just turned one and sailed through her first heat cycle). I followed Dr. Will's protocol to the "T" and her titers were great afterwards. Hazel came to me at 8 weeks old with one puppy shot already administered and she was ITCHY!!! Non-stop scratching. I didn't know what to do. My homeopathic vet turned her around with one dose of a remedy. I was so happy to have nosodes as an alternative, for subsequent shots would not have worked out well for her.
