      What is in the Beautiful Mind of Dr. Tanner? 


Dr. Tanner is now 12 years into the laboratory of life and he has made many interesting observations about our world as we know it today. First of all, he wants you all to know there are over 45,000 man-made chemicals floating around in the air, water, food, and soils. Unfortunately, most of them are toxins of one kind or another some pseudoscientist came up with while trying to justify his job. The sad part is he didn't use the 7-generation law of the Native Americans when he came up with his example of S.W.A.G. (scientific wild ass guessing) idea in the first place. The 7-generation rule simply required that the individual who wanted to make a change in our daily lives had to project out the effect it would have on the community 7 generations down the road. Scientists of our day do not even consider the potential for disaster when they decide to make an herbicide, pesticide, chemical, medicine, bomb, biological toxin or microbe, etc. All they base their decision on is ........................drum roll, "If we can do it, DO IT no matter what." Sad, but true.

 So Dr Tanner has decided to give some suggestions on how to survive in a toxic world and have fun doing it. First rule, do not worry, that is the most toxic substance made by man and you do have control over that one. It is an inside job.

 We are into the spring, wood or liver/gallbladder season of the year according to TCM (traditional Chinese Medicine). This is when the liver and gallbladder are most susceptible to damage and need our help to stay as healthy as possible. Guess what happens in the spring? People go crazy and strap on the RoundUp and other forms of weed killers and blast away anything they didn’t plant themselves.  Of course, those of us who do that are insidiously killing ourselves and our animals, sad to say.  

What can each of us do? Do not buy or use herbicides or pesticides of any kind in your home, yard or on your pets. You can learn all about natural ways to keep your home, pet and yard free of parasites by going to our page on fleas and ticks http://thepetwhisperer.com/Fleas.html and our essential page for natural prevention of bugs in your yard and home http://thepetwhisperer.com/essential_oil.html .

Dr. Tanner suggests you read Dr. Blake's page on what you can do to stay healthy and have fun doing it by clicking http://thepetwhisperer.com/pet_message.html  Obviously, if you are reading this newsletter, then you already have the compassion and love for your animals that will make it easy to make necessary changes in your life and that of your pet to stay happy and healthy.  Yes, we can easily put chemicals on anything and everything because the pesticide companies make it sound so logical and necessary for keeping everything ‘clean.’  But our organic lives are a delicate balance that requires organic treatments in order to keep the side effects from the chemical treatments from taking over and destroying our lives or our precious animals’ lives with some horrific disease in the long run.

One simple way to help detox your yards if they have had pesticides or herbicides used on them is to spray them down with a mixture of dish soap and water once a week. Put 2 ounces of dish soap in an ortho hose sprayer bottle and fill the rest up with water. Spray the entire yard once or twice per week to kill adult fleas. Repeat as needed or weekly for prevention during flea season. Do not spray succulent plants or if you do rinse them off after spraying them. Wintergreen: 1/4 tsp per ounce of water in your hose sprayer. Spray after the soap. This will kill the eggs, not the fleas. Do this once per week until there are no fleas on your pets and then repeat as needed. 

Dr. Tanner and Dr. Blake recommend that the whole family do a liver detox starting each spring on the 21st of March. Take Common Juniper (Gemmotherapy) at a dose of 5 drops once per day for all animals and people and 1 drop per day for cats. Do this for six weeks and then once per week thereafter, until next Spring when you repeat the process. You can also use Milk thistle at a dose of 200 mg once per day for the same period of time.  If you’re wondering why we recommend this liver cleanse/detox, just imagine how your car would run if you never had the filter changed and the sludge just kept building up over time.  Yech.  The car gets sluggish and just doesn’t run right, making everything else overheat or clank about noisily.  Your liver is one of your body’s major filters.  Since you can’t just go buy a new liver, it is a very wise move to cleanse out the one you’ve already got.

Dr. Tanner wishes you all a great spring and a very happy liver. A happy liver means a happy, healthy body.
 

 

Why are these two good buddies so happy?


Dr. Blake's good friends, Slim and Jim, have brought the following information to him and it is good news for all our cats and dogs. Guess what they found in their Internet search? They found a flea collar that actually works and is non toxic. It even helps keep ticks off your best friends. You can order “natural” flea/tick collars for your pets at http://holisticfamilyandpets.com/blakeproductcatalog.htm or go to www.thepetwhisperer.com for other flea/tick control remedies that are natural.

Most people in this country and the world think pesticides and herbicides are safe to use in our homes, yards, parks, forests, businesses and crops. We have all been duped by the greed of industry for over 100 years to believe if you wait an hour after you spray these toxins on the ground they somehow magically are no longer toxic to you or your beloved pets.  Wrong! 

I have had countless cases of animals with chronic illnesses that come up once a month and no one can figure out why they vomit, lose their appetite, have diarrhea or worse. When I ask them if they use chemicals or have a monthly service they oftentimes answer, ‘yes.’ When asked when symptoms present themselves, it turns out it is right after the home and yard are treated with these supposedly safe chemicals. 

You can go to  http://www.chem-tox.com/pesticides/ and become informed about the dangers of these products and share this with all you know. The only way we are going to help our animals and ourselves get healthier is to create a healthier world in which we can live.  Start by using natural fertilizers and pest control in your yards and homes. You can read about some the natural essential oils you can use for this purpose on my essential oil page http://thepetwhisperer.com/essential_oil.html and flea page http://thepetwhisperer.com/Fleas.html .

 

 

What is Dr. Christian upset about now?

 

Recently Dr. Christian Blake, 7 years old, found out one of his good buddies, Haiti the Hawk had been killed at Tufts University , Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine because the school did not believe in integrative veterinary medicine. He is asking all his readers to help him write the people who can make the changes he wants to see in this world become a reality.  

                                 Haiti the Hawk is killed by Tufts University 

Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine

 

 

On February 25, 2010, less than one month after a Red Tail Hawk (who we fondly called

Haiti) was rescued by the Hopkinton Police and Fire Departments and hand delivered to MASH Main Street Animal Services of Hopkinton for veterinary care, it was killed by euthanasia at Tufts University Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine. The police officers had stopped traffic and with care and compassion brought the bird to MASH to try to save its life. It was a community responsibility to save Haiti.

The injured bird, who was hit in the head by a car and suffered both head and eye trauma presented with both eyes swollen shut and a skull swollen and bruised. It was treated by a licensed veterinarian with homeopathic remedies Aconite, Arnica, Heliboruos, Natrum Sulfate, Ozone therapy and other integrative modalities for trauma and head injury for 6 days. The sex of a red tailed hawk is difficult to determine but we will use “he.”  Haiti ’s health progressed positively and photographs that were taken bear witness that he was becoming strong and vibrant. It was assumed that it had a possible skull fracture and brain bleeding as the car accident was so severe. Haiti exhibited a good appetite within 2 days and his swellings were down by 90% and left eye was opening normally.  With the application of both essential oils and Bach Flower remedies as well as the deep positive attitude of all people caring for Haiti, the bird was relaxed enough to be handled with ease by veterinarians and technicians.  

As Haiti ’s health improved, MASH requested that a licensed falconer continue the prescribed healing regimen, with daily communication between the veterinarians and the falconer.  Precisely one day after Haiti was entrusted to the falconer, Tufts intervened and stated that Fish and Wildlife demanded that the falconer relinquish the bird to Tufts. Tufts desired to be the only one to treat the bird and claimed that they only wanted a “professional” to care for the bird.

Though healing had occurred, Tufts would not allow any integrative care to continue on the bird (which had been provided with alternative therapies including, homeopathy, ozone therapy, herbs, Reiki, Tong Ren and nutraceuticals support). Dr. Margo Roman, a veterinarian with over 32 years of clinical experience, and also well versed on the subject of alternative/complementary medicine, published author , national and international lecturer and former faculty member of Tufts veterinary school volunteered her services to help continue treatment and care of the bird.  Tufts emailed Dr. Roman and reported that Fish and Wildlife does not allow complementary and alternative medical care to wildlife. Dr.Tom French (employed by Fish and Wildlife)  and Dr. Flo Tseng (director of the Wildlife Clinic at Tufts) had the bird euthanized because they felt the vision was impaired; they made what Dr. Roman felt was a premature decision to euthanize Haiti . Head injuries take time and with holistic and energetic healing techniques the brain would have had more time to heal. During the seven days at MASH, significant improvement had been noted and, in Dr. Roman’s opinion, more time was needed before a thorough evaluation could be made as to the destiny of the bird.  Since the bird had exhibited a healthy appetite, Dr. Roman did not feel the bird was suffering so as to warrant killing the bird.

Tuft’s Veterinary School maintained the attitude that if they could not help the bird, then no one should attempt to.  Thus, the bird was killed.  Although euthanasia is an option, there were consistent offers to have MASH provide treatment cost free to have additional time to care for the bird. Care would have included Cranial Sacral, ozone therapy and hyperbaric oxygen therapy to address the severe head injury. The repeated offers for professional integrative care were denied. The bird was not suffering and giving more time with added care may have helped Haiti heal enough to be allowed to live.  Tufts chose to euthanize the bird rather than allow integrative and comprehensive care a chance to help heal the bird. This policy of the wildlife clinic needs to be re-evaluated.  It should be noted that public awareness and interest has increased dramatically in the past 20 years, as can be witnessed by the exponential growth in the alternative areas such as acupuncture, chiropractic, herbal supplements, homeopathy and nutrition.

The questions to ask are: If Haiti had been taken to the University immediately, an x-ray would have been taken; would the noted skull fracture been a reason for immediate euthanasia? Would adding alternative, integrative therapies, including energy medicine for a longer period of time given the animal more opportunities to heal? Destroying the bird stops any chance of seeking out more ways to help animals heal.     

Haiti the red tailed hawk was saved by the community of Hopkinton and this was a wrongful death that was committed due to the University’s closed-minded attitude to integrative therapies. Haiti the red tailed hawk is symbol of our American wildlife and it is our responsibility as Americans to protect these animals. Fish and Wildlife needs to re-evaluate what they feel may help fish and wildlife when it is injured. Allowing a more natural holistic approach to work with nature should be a positive option to care for life, including wildlife.

 Medical universities should be the beacon of light that looks at all ways to teach students to be doctors and most of all facilitators of healing. We must keep open minds because our knowledge of health and healing is still only touching the possibilities and just choosing death and not trying to do more when more is available seems unfair.  

 

Here is what he had Dr. Blake write to the Dean of the medical school to get the ball rolling. He said to tell all of you that you can use Dr. Blake's words to make your point.

 

March 5, 2010

 

Dear Dean Kochevar,

 

Before I begin, I would like to thank you for all the hard work you do for the animal world for whom we are caregivers. As a practicing veterinarian of 37 years, I know the dedication it takes to serve the animal kingdom.

 

I am a dear friend of Dr. Margo Roman and an Integrative Veterinarian with 30 years of experience in Classical Homeopathy (First certified veterinarian by the AVH), Acupuncture (certified by the IVAS in 1990 in veterinary acupuncture), Bach Flower therapy in animals for 30 years, First Veterinarian to promote Gemmotherapy in the United States, Aromatherapy for 20 years, Glandular therapy for 30 years, etc. As you can see by some of my credentials, I am very serious about the use of integrative medicine which comprises 99% of my practice.

 

I would not be taking the time to write you unless I felt very strongly about the need for integrative medicine in my beloved profession. My dream has been for integrative medicine to be an integral part of every future veterinarian's education before he or she hits the street. We are all in this together to help animals, not to soothe our egos. I could care less what anyone thinks of my method of treatment as long as I prevent suffering and do no harm.

 

I am going to send this article to all my thousands of readers and clients http://www.telegram.com/article/20100302/NEWS/3020408/1003/NEWS03 and ask them to contact the list below which includes your email. The purpose of doing so is to let you all know there is need for qualified veterinarians like Margo and myself. There are not enough of us and veterinary medicine needs to step up to the plate and supply this demand. If we do not do this, laypeople who are not as well trained as we, are going to be all they have to choose from. In my opinion, sometimes this is better than going to a veterinarian who says, "All I have to offer is cortisone, antibiotics, more testing, surgery or euthanasia."

 

I know in my heart, our profession is the best of all health-care professions and we owe it to our clients and our patients to offer them everything possible to help them live a quality life. Pharmaceutical companies and veterinary schools should not restrict the use of integrative modalities with 100's and 1000's of years of proven effectiveness, because of EBM rules and double-blind-study requirements. 

 

It took me 7 years out of veterinary school to start to see the need for more than drugs and surgery to care for my friends the animals. It is for this reason I have spent thousands of hours over the past 30 years learning as much as I can about other medical modalities so I can truly say, "I tried every possibility to help my animal friend." This is what we should all do and leave the politics out of the equation.

 

Make today a great day. You are all in my prayers.

 

Sincerely yours,
Dr. Stephen R. Blake, Class of 1973 CSU

Dr. Louie's quote for the month.

 

"The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person doing it." Unknown author, but Dr. Blake has said it so many times he gets credit for it :O)

 “Unless we put medical freedom into the Constitution, the time will come when medicine will organize into an undercover dictatorship to restrict the art of healing to one class of Men and deny equal privileges to others; the Constitution of the Republic should make a Special privilege for medical freedoms as well as religious freedom.” — Benjamin Rush, M.D. (circa 1787)

Materia medica never inspires perception. The physician must have the
love of its use, and he becomes wise in proportion as he loves his use,
and in proportion as he lives uprightly with his patients, that is,
desires to heal them, beautify their souls. Can the physician who does
not love his neighbor as himself get into this position? J. T. Kent

"The glory which is built upon a lie soon becomes a most unpleasant encumbrance. How easy it is to make people believe a lie, and how hard it is to undo that work again!"- Mark Twain in Eruption

 

What are these two guys so upset about?

Urge Discovery Communications to Drop Sarah Palin's New Show

Sarah Palin has signed on with reality TV producers and Discovery Communications to star in a new TV show about Alaska and its outdoors.

But the ugly reality is that as governor for only two-and-a-half years, Sarah Palin escalated a bloody aerial wolf-slaughter campaign that continues to this very day. She even planned to offer a $150 bounty for the severed forelimb of each killed wolf.

Palin also fought against increased protections for endangered Cook Inlet beluga whales and America's dwindling populations of polar bears.

Sign our petition to Discovery Communications -- and let them know that Sarah Palin doesn't deserve to represent the "powerful beauty of Alaska" in front of millions of people. https://secure.defenders.org/site/Advocacy?pagename=homepage&page=UserAction&id=1723&autologin=true&s_src=3WDE10061SXPA&s_subsrc=033010_email&JServSessionIdr004=ru9fq8c2n1.app223a

 
What can we do too prevent over vaccinating dogs and cats for Rabies?
 
Please do your part and call/write your support for Bill AB 2000 . The Power of ONE is alive and well. Thank you for listening and caring for our friends the animals.
Dr. Louie and Dr. Blake
 
CALIFORNIA--Medical Exemption Bill AB 2000 ACTION ALERT!

   "This bill would exempt from the vaccination requirement the owner of a dog that a licensed veterinarian determines, on an annual basis, may have a potentially lethal reaction to the vaccination."
 
The bill has gone to the Agriculture Committee, concerned pet owners should call the Committee Secretary (Mona Wood) at 916-319-2084  and/or contact the Committee members at the phone numbers or e-mail addresses below and leave a message for the Committee that you want them to recommend passage of this bill.  Feline owners should request that cats be included as well.
 

 

Enjoy your ride on the perfect wave of life!

Stay safe and do not over-vaccinate, use herbicides or pesticides in your home, yard or on your pets….or on yourself or your children.   Make today a great day.

Oh, just one more thing………..Drs. Christian, Louie and Blake ask all of you special readers to share our web site with everyone you know and ask them to do the same.  As the song says, “Let there be peace on earth, and let it begin with me!

 

 

These guys are laughing at the Flu Shot two–for-one-sale hoax!

 Do NOT get a flu shot. Also make sure you stay away from the pharmacy in your grocery stores when they are vaccinating people internasally. You can inhale this same nasal mist and be vaccinated against your will. Please pass this on to help others.

OAO,

Dr's. Tanner, Christian, Louie and Bl
