Interesting point which got me thinking. I had 2 indoor cats that lived 18 years. In the same amount of time my friend went through a countless number of cats. I often wondered what she was feeding them, but your right if was probably the vaccines. I've never had my cats vaccinated after I adopted them.
My cat is 20-1/2. Hasn’t been vaccinated since maybe 2 or 3 years old. Had a stroke 2 years ago and vet suggested euthanizing- I said let’s wait & see. I credit not vaxxing for her long life. BTW she is an indoor cat.
My cats were vaccinated once, when they were kittens, by the shelter from which I adopted them. At 11 years old, they're very healthy. I'm knocking on wood.
I had two cats in the past that were vaccinated against Feline Leukemia, then contracted FL a couple of years out. I found out afterward that my neighbor was feeding her FL-infected cat outdoors, and assumed that cat was the vector that infected my cats.
After the Covid jab and all the news that's come out since, I now wonder if all three cats had weakened immune systems against the very disease they were inoculated against..
I lost my beautiful Siamese girl to a growth that formed in her chest cavity and pushed her lungs backward until she couldn't breathe any longer - actually, I had her put down before it got to that point. When the vet showed me her x-ray, I was amazed she lived as long as she had. It was heartbreaking.
I stopped taking our dog to all the crazy vet appointments... NO more shots, unless mandated for registration in CA- but I found a place that does not use aluminum or mercury in that shot
Cats are CARNIVORES - so high-quality meat of any cut or type - dehydrate it and your cat will go CRAZY with JOY!! Dehydrators are very inexpensive (ours cost me $69 on Amazon.com). Also high-quality veggies once in awhile - cabbage, kale or spinach are recommended as they are the "super veggies" to support immune systems in humans AND our pets.
The way I understand it is that cats eat meat, AND what is in the digestive systems of their prey. Since straight meat without any of the rest of the body of the prey (like some internal organs or its digestive contents) lacks certain nutrients, you have to add a small amount of them to the meat. Sounds like you are more resourceful than I am, but I admire your dedication to the best diet for the cats! My two cats are getting the best grain-free and supplemented wet and dry food I can provide, and I pray they are happy and healthy as they can be to the end.
and got the free cheat sheet then just now purchased her raw diet calculator. I've decided it's finally time to do much better for my beloved rescue dog than just kibble and canned food.
Correct about freezing. When we had 4 cats, we made 15 lb (meat) batches every two weeks. Now with 2, it's about once a month which means containers don't get filled full as I don't want to buy smaller ones. Our food is at least 25% cooked, but if you're using human grade meat, I see nothing wrong with a totally raw diet.
Yes, although a cat's digestive system is a lot faster than ours! So I think the bacteria fear porn is just that.
My husband says ours is closer to 50% cooked. When we first started using Pierson's recipe, she boiled everything, then later switched to baking b/c there is less nutrient loss and we pour the drippings in also. I rinse the chx thighs before I put it in the pans. We still lightly boil the chx livers.
I've read it's actually easier to grind frozen meat, but you would know better about that. My husband cuts the chx thighs into smaller pieces as it's easier on our grinder which people were saying lasted an average of 10 years. Ours has lasted 12.5 so far.
Please buy quality cat food, my 21.5 year old has been fed Science Diet kibble his whole life and Fancy Feast canned. Cats must have taurine in their diet and will have heart problems without it. My guy loves Simply Potatoes with garlic, but he only gets a taste of that and eats his kibble and canned food as basic diet.
I have a 12# dog that has seizures with no apparent link to any other factors. But the vet commented that seizures happen most frequently in small dogs. Now I’m remembering giving her more than one vaccine at a time when she was young. Geez there is SO MUCH to pay attention to in order to protect yourself and your family. But glad so many of us are FINALLY waking up.
Out of dead dogs - dogs that have been euthanized therefore the chemical is in The food. That’s why so many dogs are having seizures. Feed them human leftovers like they did 100 years ago!
Our dogs seemed to have health problems unlike what we remembered occurring years ago. So, my wife decided the dog we have now will ONLY eat real food. It works, but it is a fair amount of work. Beef, venison, liver, vegetables, white rice, plenty of info on the web about making your own. Sophie is happy and healthy.
We make our own too, have for years. Finally settled on beef, carrots, peas, squash and small amount of rice, cooked with no salt or spices and no oils in a large batch then frozen and we also give each of them two gently fried (no oil) farm fresh eggs and a very good vitamin with probiotics and glucosamine a day. The miniature dachshund will be 17 in January and the doxy/pittie mix will be 4. Neither were over vaxxed just the basics and one update (which I regretted but no side effects) for the 17 year old about 7 years ago. Since we got rid of any and all kibble only about a year ago due to digestive issues I have not tried to wean him off of zonisamide (for seizures) but have tapered down the dose slowly over the last six months with no resulting seizures. Looking forward to getting him completely off of it!
I had a vet who thought peas were bad for dogs and today it's one of the top ingredients. He also did not like the flea/tick and heartworm combo treatment that was becoming popular in the early 2010's. He finally carried Comfortis and said to give the Heartguard a couple weeks later. He thought that was causing the problems [seizures]. He died March 2020 and it has been a huge challenge finding another vet. I'm on my 5th one! Nobody carries or will write a script for Comfortis and they only like the combo treatment. Plus only 2 out of the 5 would do the 3 yr rabies. Vet medicine has turned into a racket.
You also need a calcium source. Ground egg shell a rounded half teaspoon per pound of food is good. Keep the lining in the shell, that is good for the joints. I bake them for 10 minutes in the oven and let them cool. I have a dedicated coffee grinder that I grind the shells to a powder. The veggies need to be either frozen, cooked or ground to break down the cell walls so that they can utilize the nutrients. Freezing will cause the cell walls to burst(expanding water).
Don't have too many peas. Anything with pea in its name and soybeans are not good for the heart. Diet based DCM! They tried to blame it on lack of grains, but peas and friends were the replacement starch for grains. These items have protein, so they lowered the amount of animal protein in the formula, but plant based proteins are not readily digested, thus the % protein really isn't what it is on bags of kibble. Eggs, including raw eggs are the best source of digestible protein for dogs.
That's interesting about the peas ... Just thinking about my "step dog," Otto, a beautiful Doberman that I was blessed to know while married to his "father" ...we'd feed him kibble but mix in wet food that had peas in it. He'd finish EVERY BITE--except for the peas. How he could chew all that up and spit the peas out just amazed me! Untreated Heartworm took him out. 💔 RIP, Otto ... 💔
That must have been why my vet didn't like peas. He researched constantly on stuff. He agreed with you on the eggs being great protein for dogs. I will take 4 eggs and scramble slightly and store in fridge and my 15lb Chi/Russell will be in heaven the rest of the week. I just mix a spoon full with his wet food and dry and he's like a Dyson!
Sophie is a miniature dachshund too! Our second, just had to have another. My wife feeds her eggs too, daily, and we're lucky to have neighborhood sources. She does all the same veggies as you. Also, sweet potatoes, and the Halloween pumpkins are good too - it's nice to make use of them..
Pumpkin is great for the vitamins and fiber and our vet recommends if the dog has diarrhea issues as a good fiber source. It’s such a shame how they are wasted over Halloween!
My wife has researched this out the wazoo. We aren't normally big on grains, so I'm sure she's got a good reason for the rice, and why it should be white rice. Sophie gets some raw venison during and for a while after the butchering process, but otherwise all the meat is cooked. Why do you say no rice, and raw meat? We are open to different ideas.
Per my research, dogs lack sufficient amylase to digest carbs. Carbs can lead to pancreatitis. I feed bison, beef, turkey, lamb and venison. I use Better Bones by Four Leaf Rover for proper calcium/phosphorus. Raw bones are great, but mines a gulper and the nearest emergency vet is over an hour away. A sprig of lightly steamed broccoli each morning keeps her poo bulked up so she does not get anal gland issues.
Thanks for that feedback. Seems I've read cats are strictly carnivorous, but dogs are omnivores to a degree. I always remember my shepherd mix when I was a kid relishing the low-hanging wild persimmons every fall. Also subsequent dogs plucking an occasional veggie right out of the garden. Agree on the bones, we used to give them to our dogs, until we realized they're too valuable for bone broth for the humans in the family. I'm sure it would be a good idea to get Sophie some bones in her diet. She does very well on what she's getting right now though.
Love all these ideas in this comment feed! We’re getting our first puppy soon and I’ve already realized - as a crunchy mom - I can’t just turn the crunchy off with a dog 😅 all God’s creatures in my home will eat the best I can provide. My husband is going to be like, “what the heck are you feeding her???” 😅 but really, he gets it, too.
Dr. Karen Becker (online) is a wonderful holistic veterinarian medical doctor and she works in tandem with Dr. Joseph Mercola (Dr. Becker is working on a new website, but here's a link to her latest blog: https://drkarenbecker.com/ ) Raw food is best but we dehydrate our Maltese's meat - storage issues are minimal that way. We freeze the dehydrated meat strips and get out just enough for that day's feeding and cut it into bite size pieces. It is time-consuming but well worth the effort as Colby is VERY perky for an 11 year dog (small dogs live longer than the "behemoth sized" ones....and I love the Maltese temperament and physical features!
Just fyi, you can buy an unvaccinated holistically raised puppy. Search online. The puppy can be delivered with a flight Nanny and you pick up at the airport.
Wow, I’m pleased to hear it! My hope is to home/hobby breed our dog (my mom did this, one litter a year, in our home while we were growing up; it was so special and they were such amazing family dogs after being socialized with kids from birth💕). I told my husband recently I don’t want to poison all the puppies we offer, so I’m excited there are other people out there looking for unpoisoned pups!
Cocker spaniels. Later on they also bred cockapoos. (But that wasn’t really a thing when i was little, that i know of.) The cutest little pups. But now their three cocker spaniels are retired and living the life with my parents 😊
Just curious, do you have any specific starting places for researching this? When I search (on Brave browser no less) it just spits out page after page of why and when puppies need vaccinations 🙄
In the past I kept trying different searches like holistically raised or naturally raised. I forgot all the searches I tried, but eventually I found some breeders offering ehat I was looking for. Buttercup Puppies is the one I can tell you off-hand, but you would be limited to the specific breeds she offers.
“Food pets die for. Shocking facts about pet food” by Ann Martin is well worth reading. It’s really disgusting what goes into pet food. Euthanized dogs is bad enough but there’s much more.
After loosing 2 German shepherds, 4 yrs and one at 4 months, to lymphoma and a vax reaction, we make our own food now. Time consuming and pricey but worth it.
😭 we lost our sweet German shepherd when she was 10 years old, filled with cancer! Sweet Bissygirl....I’m sure now that vaxs, doctors’s visits, and yearly vax updates, and even the ‘best’ dry dog food on the market was the cause. Raw meat that we get now concerns me because of e-coli. Our doctor in NC started feeding her dogs raw meat and one almost died from e-coli poisoning. So we stayed away from that. But once that cancer starts, there’s no stopping it.
Back before the we-todds got so much control, we used to kill crippled or sick horses in the U.S. and make them into dog food.
Now, all of them are shipped to Mexico as there is not one single processing plant left in the U.S. It’s harder on the horses that are being slaughtered, it has decimated the horse industry and all related industries (feed, supplies, tack, etc.) and has ruined the dog food, killing millions of dogs in the process.
Porge, you asked me a question about DMSO. I cannot find that comment nor ability to reply so here goes. I am using DMSO externally around his spine, Lately various areas of jaw for bad teeth. Vet said something about internally[?] could cause red blood cell damage. Have not researched that. I began using on my neck from pain after TBI. Externally, so tried for his pain. Lately learned it has healing powers. Unsure details, sorry. Check here, much about DMSO. The Midwestern Doctor. Best to you and your pup. I have learned: with 70% gel, which I have- to dilute 50/50. Vet rec Vaseline, messy. Lately learned water ok. I use Berkey filtered water. First did not dilute, burned his skin. Must be sure hands impeccably clean as DMSO takes surrounding 'stuff' in as well. Dog fur? Unable to bathe, so....best able.
Thanks for reply char. I have seen article from Midwest doctor and Amanda Dawn Vollmer substack about DMSO. Amanda also self formulates DMSO for specific ailments. Looking into the eye drops for my cataract. Best to you and your pet!
Porge--I will find Amamda, thank you. One reason burned his skin was unable to find directions for longest time. Finally new vet for acupuncture who used DMSO on horses, explained. Still need to learn more. Lots. Sone, eyes recommended, yet am a coward. Best to you
Yes char, I'm a coward too, but I only have one good eye left and that's the one with cataract so that's why I'm looking at dmso instead of cataract surgery. I've had 2 unsuccessful surgeries on my bad eye. I'll keep you posted if I do it! Happy Thanksgiving!
A Dr. Berne was recommended on a health site I follow. He has videos? on how to avoid cataract surgery. Dr. Sam I believe. I did not get into it since I was convinced to have the surgery some years ago. Both eyes. However his MSM drops were so great....and then not. Problems with manufacturing with disastrous results. I am so sorry to hear about your unsuccessful surgeries. Wonder--holistic eye doc available? I regret the surgeries, yet done and now....some problems still. Yu might check him out for his preventive measures. Blessings wished on Thanksgiving, everyday. And yes, please let me know.
I lost my beloved pug 8 years ago and have not gotten another dog because I can’t afford the vet bills. She died at 10 of bone cancer, which started on the shoulder blade and moved into her spine. I have since learned that cancer on the shoulder is quite prevalent, possibly due to it being the vax injection site. I dutifully took her for jabs every time they told me she was due. How I would do things differently now. What do you all do about the rabies shot being required every two years?
Every 3 years actually. I did them, did not do bortadella unless boarding, which was only on a rare occasion. (not willingly; it is required)
The annoying thing is that they gave them the shot upon boarding, and I read that it doesn't take effect for some days, so basically they got them for nothing.
Sadly, you are correct about the used of euthanized animals in many commercial pet food brands.
However, the answer is not to feed them leftovers, because human foods are almost all and always salted, which will shorten your dog's life and condemn it to kidney failure. It's a painful way to go.
We use Ivermectin, Fenbendazole, and our holistic vet recommended a suppliment for heart worm which I will add as soon as I find the bottle. She said no pet she's seen has ever had heartworm since using it monthly during the season. We will not use the vaccine train.
Looking forward to supplement info. Problem with rabies is if your animal happens to bite or scratch someone (even inside pet might if you have visitor) I believe animal control can quarantine animal for longer period if non-vax.
We've been feeding our 11 yr old doxie/beagle mix a raw organic diet for 3 years and she's healthy, lively and has THE shiniest soft coat! Before that we fed organic dehydrated patties. The company went out of business during covid and forced my daughter and me to do what we'd been talking about ....feeding raw. We're never going back. My niece raises cavapoos and golden doodles. She raises all the pups on raw once they're weaned. We haven't gotten vaxes since the initial puppy vaxes. If I had it to do over, I wouldn't even do those, knowing what I know now. The vets have become legalized drug pushers just like the medical doctors! P.S. Aldis sells organic hamburger fairly inexpensively.
SPOT ON - I did a gig job for a year for the manufacturers of "Science Diet" (they were rolling out a new, 'natural' pet food). I started doing more research on my own after the job ended and would NEVER work for ANY commercial pet food mfr. again. This is GARBAGE marketed to death and packaged in 'attractive-wholesome' packaging--it is just like what they do to humans with VACCINES. It's DEATH packaged as a 'GOOD THING' - it's anything BUT good for our feline and canine furriends! Out pets ate better before the genesis of commercialized pet food when they ate the "leftovers" from human meals--truly!!
I feed my 16 + year old German shepherd vegan kibble and sometimes give him a cooked egg. He also gets several different types of veggies. 🥦 🥕 My other three dogs are vegan. Maggie has been vegan almost 9 years. She’s 13 now. My other pups have been vegan almost their entire life. They both had horrific allergies and other health issues when I got them as pups. They’re now healthy and happy. None of my dogs have fleas because they have a very healthy diet. They have a different meal at each meal. Variety is important for good health. I also give them supplements for gut health.
Was about to mention mad cow. Connection! Have read the horrors of dog foods but did not know about euthanized dogs being an ingredient along with dumpster garbage. Also learned any dry food is hard on the kidneys. made the switch, stopped all vax, Daschy now 19 years old. Even tho vet damaged his spine rupturing all the discs.... DMSO to the rescue there, helping lots.
Hi char, I've been treating my 15yo coonhound for spleen cancer with ivermectin and changing diet. Tried fenbendazole too but stomach issues occur with fenben. I've been researching DMSO. In what form and how are you administering? Thank you.
I have been very conservative with vaccines and my little 5 pound fur baby. I also have never given her dog food because of her sensitive gut. She is now 14.
My previous dog was a sheltie. I was also conservative about vaccines. I did feed her dog food, but a high quality one, if I recall correctly. She passed at 13 or 14.
I've not lived with pets since the 70's. Helped each sister move into separate new houses recently. Both have several cats. Half the cats have asthma.
My first thought was... has the kitty cat vaccine requirement schedule expanded in a similar way the childhood school schedule has? If so... well, there you go. How many coincidences before coincidence is impossible?
As a kid, I never saw any pet have any chronic illness remotely similar to what humans endure (especially today). Can't be coincidence. Not buying it. Prove me wrong!
Yes the vaxxes and the continual stream of rabies ’shots’, as well as ALL the bad commercial pet food (grain free and otherwise) , that they push at the vet practices and at the Petco’s, and Chewy.com, as well as online and the big box pet food sellers.
Yep, over-vaccination just like humans. Here's an interesting interview with a veterinary nutritionist whose homemade cat food recipe we've been making for 12 years. She talks about feline kidney failure and the connection to cell cultures the FRCVP vax is made with.
Happy to! catinfo.org is Dr. Lisa Pierson's site. We've been using it for 12 years. I commented above that the Tasin grinder we've used seems to be no longer available - but she switched to Westin's which is sold on Amazon. Hearing protection needed!
Covid warrior Steve Kirsch, of the vaccine safety research foundation, was about to vaccinate a new puppy, and then realized that it could be as dangerous as the human shots. He called a veterinarian friend of his who told him that the veterinarians know even less about what is in the shots than human doctors do. Often the company says it is a proprietary formuladecided not to vaccinate his puppy. now there are some diseases that puppies are very vulnerable like Bordetella and one other disease that slips my mind right now. But I do think it might be advisable to keep the shots to a minimum. After puppyhood, I do rabies only, and will not even give that to an older dog.
I had an Uncle who was a veterinarian. I hear that they are using them to push the mRNA crap on the animals, and that the vet schools have been infiltrated by these creeps.
My niece is in vet school and for Christmas i bought her a new book by Marcie Fallek called Little Miracles Everywhere: My Unorthodox Path to Holistic Veterinary Medicine, in collaboration with Children’s Health Defense.
THANK YOU for this link - I will get that book for my oldest granddaughter who is aspiring to be a veterinarian once she graduates from H.S. (this coming year). Perhaps she will seriously consider this option - do you know about Dr. Karen Becker---she's my "go to" person when it comes to holistic veterinary medical advice. She and Dr. Mercola work in tandem with one another!
Many zoos vaccinated their animals against Covid and the number of deaths is eye popping and sad. Mark Crispin Miller has articles about these poor animals.
I remember that a few weeks or months post-mRNA attack injections (you might call them "vaccines" but I will not) that famous zoo animals died suddenly. Strange coincidence, no?
How many coincidences before coincidence is impossible?
Never EVER saw a heart attack from anyone at work under 60 out of 100's of people every year for 3+ decades. Saw two in my small group of 35 in 6 months after the mandatory mRNA attack injections. Two more within the next year.
Remember that the mRNA vaccine for first tried on animals. Livestock, specifically. The chickens experienced temporary immunity from coronavirus. The next year, the coronavirus came raging back and destroyed the livestock of whole poultry farms. Sound familiar?
Friends of mine took dog to the vet for something . . . can't remember what . . . and were absolutely horrified when they were paying to see on the invoice a COVID-19 INJECTION. They went out of their minds, had a screaming match with the staff and the vet. Dog died of an aggressive cancer within six weeks. These are super-savvy people, I know they would have sued if they were so inclined, so I don't want to rub that wound by asking if they have considered a lawsuit.
May possibly be. I will no longer board my dog due to shot requirements. I also stopped taking my dog in for shots after 2020 due to all I was learning about shots for people and pets. My dog is 10 and about 3-4 years ago he developed partial seizures. I chose not to put him on medication and instead took him to a nutritionist. He is now eating home cooked meals and the partial seizures have stopped. And as someone said above, it is work to do home cooked meals. The preparing it is not so bad, it’s the dishes, pots and pans that is most time consuming. I thank my husband for doing most of them.
It's everywhere. Did you see the video of the Methodist conference several months back where people were introducing themselves? For example: 'I'm Lisa, a cis white woman. My pronouns are she/her.'. It's going to take time to undo the damage and go back to normal, but I think that is why the leftist media is still talking about how this cost them the election. They know it, and they will keep talking about it until these things disappear, imho. They don't want to lose again, and it'll be easy to create another "Democrats care about they/them, not you" commercial.
we should publicly INSIST that these kooks continue sharing these avowed introductions especially Politicians and "experts" who speak publicly and at meeting where minutes are taken...."let the RECORD SHOW that what's its face whose pronouns are Dumb A-s and Dip Sh-t spoke about such and so forth"
Also, if they are an Anti-Freedom Leftist and Leading the public meeting...."please sir/madam/bio-primate entity, I MUST INSIST that you issue a public vow of respectful apology and recognize the rightful displace aboriginal peoples upon whose land you are holding this event in order to not dishonor them nor show an appearance of superior rightful colonial occupation and institutionalized cultural superiority." Let them EAT their own haughty virtuosity and CONFESS their GUILT.
I’ve quit giving my dog vaccines, but how do you deal with the rabies vaccine requirements where you live, or do you have them! I’ve stopped, but I hope to find a holistic vet if I ever need one and hopefully they will respect what I am doing. My dog is an inside dog and is with me whenever we are outside. We’ve never experienced any animals, wild or otherwise, with rabies. She eats organic meats, vegetables, farm raised eggs, and fruits that are safe for her. I’ve lived in the same neighborhood my whole life…almost 70 years! We found one old raccoon that died from old age over 10 years ago, but that was it.
I’d like to know too. I’m currently getting multiple calls and emails from the Vet on how our cat is Overdue. I don’t know how to deal with this. Ignoring for now, but …
Ignore the vet. There is no need to take a healthy animal to the vet. You are inviting them to find something each time you take them to these people and they will always have more shots to inject into your animal. "Wellness checkups" for humans or animals is a fool's errand.
I just stopped giving my 14 year old her 3 year rabies booster because we have her on a tight leash and she is old, but you could be in trouble if your dog bites someone. So Personally I did get the 3 year booster, with trepidation.
I took my kittens to a nearby small town for getting them fixed. They got two shots, one of which was for rabies. The vet told me he had never known a cat to get rabies, but he had seen cats get the other virus. (The big city vet had said there would be four shots given. And her price for the neutering was four times what the country vet charged.). Kittens are in their third year now and we’ve not been to a vet since. Crazy cat lady across the street takes her felines to the vet all the time and they’re always sick. I think she has Münchausen Syndrome.
I know the city of Jacksonville tracks rabies vaccines for dogs and sends out notices yearly. I know because I had an old dog I took to the vet for information on wart removal. He was 14 years old and had only had one vaccination in his lifetime and that was as a puppy, who had a broken leg and of course the vet gave him a rabies shot.
The vet I consulted about the warts was astounded that he was 14. Her chart said he should have died at age 9. And she insisted on giving him a rabies shot. Told me it was legally required.
Well, one year later I got a letter from the City of Jacksonville telling me I had to get a new rabies shot for him, or return a form indicating that the dog was deceased or I no longer owned the dog. I didn’t want to jinx him by reporting him dead, so I reported that I didn’t own him any longer.
My present dog got rehomed to me by my son. So any vet records or ownership records are tied to him and this healthy dog has not seen a vet for many years and won’t see one unless she’s sick or injured.
My daughter made the observation years ago that my old dog who never went to the vet was doing just fine, while her dog, who got her recommended vet visits was developing issue after issue.
Penny has a granuloma on her front leg, benign, but I can’t do bloodroot because she would just lick it off. Not sure it can be taken internally? I’m trying a mushroom powder on her food now, but recently read about castor oil and might try that too. Will have to use a cone I guess.
I have the same issue. The county sent me notice (I think the vet reported us) and if we didn’t get our 4yr old King Charles Cavalier an updated rabies shot they would fine us $1000. We can’t and don’t want to pay that so I hesitantly took her in. It was her 2nd rabies shot. She’s 16lbs. Ugh. I have declined all other shots to their dismay. 😂 But I also have her on heart worm medicine and flea medicine because we have tons of mosquitos here in Florida. I checked our area for cases of heart worm and our county has a higher than “normal” amount of cases. So reluctantly I give her those two things. I looked into natural protectants and I just don’t have time to keep up on it all. I switched her to a raw diet and while she did great, lost weight which is what we were trying to do, she had digestive issues and acid reflux I think. She started to throw up on occasion. We introduced her to a probiotic and went to a freeze dried and lightly cooked mix. She’s gaining weight (not what she needs) but seems to have less digestive issues. She still will hack and throw up but way less than before on the raw diet.
It’s all so complicating sometimes. The nearest holistic vet I can find is 3 hours away so that’s not possible.
I was wondering what others do about the rabies requirement. Unless I can figure out the heartworm protection I can’t say we no longer have her. They require a blood test once a year for heart worm medication now. Ugh. It’s all such a racket!
I’ve looked into that. Never heard anyone say to ingest it. Only to use it externally, but needing to reapply regularly and once it gets wet it has to be reapplied too.
It can absolutely be ingested. We give it to our livestock for intestinal parasites. I don’t think it would work for heartworms though, since they are blood born and d.e. is mechanical, not chemical.
I’ve heard of it being used externally, like spreading it in areas where fleas might breed. I haven’t researched anything about it being used internally. I’m just not familiar with it, but finding out should be easy.
Fenbendazole and Ivermectin purchased at Rural King in. Florida. Give once a month. "Temps have to be above 65° for 30 days to bring out mosquitoes with heartworm vector." Holistic vet we saw said she writes lots of letters to refuse vaccines...
Yes it is - I spend more taking my doggie boy to the vet than I do for my own doctor visits! I bought "pet health insurance" for my first rescue Maltese - what a racket that turned out to be. The insurance I used was give "4 stars" online but there was always a "caveat" or "loophole" they slipped through when I submitted high vet bills (it wouldn't cover any wellness visits and didn't cover "illness visits" either. With my present Maltese I decided "no pet insurance"!
LOL- cat lady probably does. I trust small town/country vets way more than the rest. But have you ever had your cats anal glands expressed.? The old codger [mid 70's] I'm using now is the first one I have ever had do that. So now I have 2 cats who now would probably rather be eaten by a coyote than go to the vet. LOL. Brutal.. Same thing when he checks their temp- I jokingly asked him recently if he could see the thermometer coming out his mouth. They don't like that either! But he has a DVM from Texas A&M and a MS from Colorado State and is one of 2 vets in my area with more formal dental training than the standard vet. Which at the time was what I needed. My long time vet having died March 2020 and it was a bitch finding a new vet and the covid protocol crap was beyond ridiculous. No more vaxs for my old dog and only sick visits for my cats if they being inside/outside get into a fight and I can't find and treat before abscess occurs. So far so good. I keep the Chlorhexidine spray handy for them and me.
There was a video on FB of a vet who said you can get an exemption for rabies vax. The vax is only supposed to be given to a healthy animal. If there are any health issues you can ask for an exemption.
I just bookmarked Dr. Judy's website and listened briefly to this podcast - it echoes so much of the information I gleaned from reading Dr. Karen Becker's weekly blog through Mr. Joseph Mecola's website. I do what I can for my rescue Maltese by feeding them "own made" whole food and very little 'medication' (Colby does get a weight appropriate dosage every month from April through November of the heartworm pill. Other than that - just the dehydrated meat, raw cabbage, dental sticks that are healthy and contain natural (ingredients include natural chicken flavor, Omega 3, peppermint, ginger, potato starch as a binder, cinnamon, chamomile, parsley, passion flower, lemon balm, chia seed, lavender essential oil. The brand is GET NAKED and the particular version I buy now is their "Calming Health" variety as Colby is a very anxious doggie boy - could be in his breeding...I rescued him, so I don't know his genetic history.
One needs to be quite conservative. If not, the vets will give them many each year. That is probably why many dogs were getting cancer at 6 and 7 years old. I think that people wisened up and vets backed off. I don't see them pushing them yearly like they did in the 90s.
Dr. Benjamin Hart of the University of California, Davis, has been researching the effects of spay-neuter for a decade, with support from the American Kennel Club Canine Health Foundation. His first paper on the subject, published in 2013, revealed that Golden Retrievers that had been spayed or neutered had a correlation of being three or four times more likely to develop certain cancers, including lymphosarcoma and hemangiosarcoma, and also more likely to develop joint problems such as hip dysplasia and damage to the cranial cruciate ligament. The team later published data on German Shepherd Dogs and Labrador Retrievers, finding that early spaying and neutering had varying effects on these dogs’ likelihood to develop joint disorders, cancers, and urinary incontinence.
"There were no cases of MCT mast cell tumor in intact females, but the occurrence was nearly 6 percent in late-neutered females." That's pretty serious, and that is just one condition that was studied. Zero cases in the non spayed.
There is no basis for assuming that the dogs seen at the hospital in our UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine are not representative of dogs of this breed in the general population, and as seen in private practices. In examining the records, we know that very few of the intact dogs were used in breeding. I have corresponded with the key leaders in the Golden Retriever Club regarding their information about dogs seen in private practices versus our UC Davis hospital, and they assured me that the dogs at both venues do not appear to differ in any aspect relative to our study. At our hospital, the diagnostic procedures for various diseases are standardized. This would not necessarily be the case if dogs from many private hospitals were used. Body condition scores (BCS), following standard hospital guidelines, and were not significantly related to which neutered dogs did, or did not get, a joint disorder. In general, while one may question the exact time frame used in the reference points for neutering dates and diagnoses, the same clinical diagnostic and statistical methodologies were applied to neutered and intact dogs alike; we report where we found significance.
Finally, and very important –as emphasized in our paper – every joint disorder and cancer where we found significant effects of neutering in one or both sexes, at one neutering age or another, has been already reported in at least one scientific journal to be significantly increased by neutering in studies that grouped breeds and neutering ages. We are not reporting anything new with regard to the diseases. In other words, there are no surprises in the disease effects we found. What our research does report, for the first time, is the occurrences of all of the diseases in one breed, as a function of sex and age at neutering. In addition to the scientific contributions, the long-term goal of our work is to offer those acquiring puppies some information so they can make informed choices with regard to the timing of neutering. The Golden Retriever is known for particular vulnerability to joint diseases and cancers; we fully expect to find differences among breeds with regard to specific diseases affected by various parameters of neutering.
A scientific analysis published in Veterinary and Comparative Oncology using Golden Retriever Lifetime Study data notes a potential correlation between canine sterilization and hemangiosarcoma development.
Hemangiosarcoma is the most common cancer diagnosed in the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study cohort. It is a particularly deadly cancer, with roughly 90% of dogs dead within one year of diagnosis. Few dogs survive longer than two years, even with aggressive therapy.
I have read in several essays that in EUROPE the pet owners do NOT neuter or spay their dogs and cats. They know better than we "Yanks" do, I guess! They just keep their pets INDOORS and away from the 'bitches' who are in heat.
I do vaccinate. I do so judiciously. Rabies is real. I have seen it. Rabies kills tens of thousands of humans in places where animal rabies vaxx is not widespread. The thing that is so infuriating about COVID is that it was so corrupt and now people are throwing out the baby with the bathwater. I don't agree with OVER vaccination....but I do agree with judicious vaccination. I also think that the total health of the animal includes more than just vaccinations....unfortunately, so many people have been conditioned to think 'shots' are always indicated as part of a healthy plan. They are NOT.
Unfortunately, cats are VERY reactive animals. I had a patient that developed a tumor at the site of a fractured bone. Cats are well known to develop tumors in response to ANY injection, not just vaccines. We used to call these tumors vaccine associated sarcomas. Now we just call them injection site sarcomas. It is a REAL problem, but not common. Certain breeds are also more likely to develop cancers...purebreds mostly.
I am not now, nor never will be, an advocate for total lack of vaccinations. I think we need to evaluate the need for certain vaccines and do more study on efficacy, however. I DO think many vets vaccinate too often. Many owners now go to these 'shot clinics' because they are cheap and don't even know how often they are injecting their pets. Most vaccinations last far longer than the recommended frequency....Distemper, for example, most 'experts(God I hate that word)' agree that that one lasts at least 7 years, maybe longer. But the manufacturers put everything in one shot to make it more convenient.
I have been trying, in vain, to speak with veterinary oncologists about the usefulness of Fenbendazole and ivermectin as chemotherapy agents. They do not want to discuss it, period. They shut you down immediately....for this reason, I have no dosing recommendations to go by.
Ivermectin CAN be toxic in too high a dose......so, it would be really nice if one of these 'specialists' would take and interest to see if it's feasible or not. The problem is that each species has different ways of metabolizing these drugs, thus resulting in differing blood and tissue concentrations at the same dosing.....so, it's the wilderness.
I have a couple of patients I have tried these novel type chemos on......letting them know in advance that I have no idea if it will work, but I know that at the doses I recommend, no harm will be done. It will be interesting to see what comes of it.
When I speak with the oncologists, they are very condescending and treat me like I am not even a doctor.....because THAT'S helpful.
So....yes, I am 'one of you,' but also still 'one of them.'
I was truly blessed today to receive a response email from Dr. William Makis. My 10 year old, pampered, spoiled & super sweet Kitty developed a Mast Cell Tumor on his left ear. We (home Vet included) were monitoring it for months, but after scratching & itching started breaking his skin & causing hair loss, we had it aspirated. Hard to stage or get a good prognosis without invasive full ear removal, biopsy of lymph nodes, maybe chemo &/or radiation treatments, etc. We declined that route. This kitty would also rather a coyote attack, over a car trip to a vet! One week of antihistamines were enough for him. It was pure hell getting that awful “flavored” med forced down his throat, 3 times @ day. He became so sedated & fearful of me. Quit on Sunday & then he stopped eating, tiny amount of water, sleeping all the time… Dr. Makis suggested a full 12mg of Iver & 222mg of FenBen, for a 10lbs kitty! We could only get 1/2 of that amount into him today. Split between two syringes, crushed up with water… It’s our Hail Mary for sweet Andy. Or we will be letting him go peacefully.. I WILL NOT TRAUMATIZE HIM, to get a few more months of this sweetie in our lives. Prayers are appreciated.. 😔🙏
Thank you for pursuing this. I am an almost retired veterinary surgeon and old enough to not pay dues and am so sad to see the changes like this in our profession. Corporate overtake? They do like to follow the $$$ and years ago my financial advisor told me "you guys are recession proof". Yes I was shocked when I saw the ad for the Atlanta conference :(((((((
I said something on FaceBook about the ad and was immediately attacked by one of my horse friends( a very liberal group on the East Coast). She tried to lecture me about how important that it was to understand the culture of people who don't care for their animals properly. I said culture does not matter. Tell them what's right and make it clear. I don't care what you look like or where you come from, fleas are bad. Neglect is not cultural, it's neglect. I don't give people a pass for bad behavior, ever.
I wanted to go, just to stir up shit....but my husband wouldn't let me....he knows how I am. I did go to a DEI talk at a GVMA conference....did you know that AVMA has a link to donate to BLM? Yeah....not happy about THAT. Who knows how much of our dues have gone to that as well.
I just hope Robby has time to dig into the AVMA....pretty sure a bunch of the corporate practices are all in on DEI as well..
WHoa ! Now I do wonder about our dues have been up to which is now in my rear view mirror. BLM !!!YIKES Will be educating more of my colleagues The tide will turn!
The evidence presented in these studies reveals that while purporting to combat bias, some anti-oppressive DEI narratives can engender a hostile attribution bias and heighten racial suspicion, prejudicial attitudes, authoritarian policing, and support for punitive behaviors in the absence of evidence for a transgression deserving punishment. Although not addressed in the studies reported herein, it is also possible that these factors are mutually reinforcing and spread through social contagion. Our findings raise this possibility which we offer here in the form of a post-hoc process model (to be investigated in futurestudies ):
1. Anti-Oppressive Intervention: DEI training rooted in anti-oppressive rhetoric introduces
narratives that lead people to assume that certain groups are inherent oppressors and others
I’ll share an old story about dei. It’s not new. Back when I worked at the largest chemical factory in the world, the powers that were decided they had been treating the negro race unfairly for decades. This at a time where I was, that it was easier to get a job if you were a particular hue and sex. So the kompany came out with this great idea. Let’s give every employee of hue, 27,000 dollars. This is back in the early 90’s I believe. It was an apology for past racism, or something. Well had you worked at this Kompany, you would know that the representation for those of hue, versus the percentage in the general population, was entirely askew, favoring those with hue. Well the one thing that certain sexes of certain hues are good at, is gloating. They gloated themselves right into a damn near race riot. Waving checks in white peoples faces, especially the white guys that built that Kompany. It got rather ugly, really fast. Naturally the media covered it up, because back then, our city was diverse to the nth degree. Actually it wasn’t, it was run totally by those of hue. And a ton of fat greasy woman of hue. Couple of them are currently in the pokey, go figure, but that was the northeast’s attempt at dei. It worked. You go back to that shithole and you won’t recognize it as the same place. I escaped going on fourteen years now. I’ll never go back. Apparently the suburbs that used to be rather upscale, are deid to death. And that, my friends, of all hues, is how the democrat plantation works. A once vibrant, wealthy city, reduced to Detroit.
So basically DEI is an Academic Process and Study on Implementation of CULT policies upon a wider society for the benefits of the CULT Leadership to achieve desired outcomes amongst the human resources at their disposal.
DEI for the USA set in context of Constitutional-Founder Bashing, White-Christian Shaming, erasure of merit based systems, a dilution of integrity and Justifying Authoritarian Partiality to undermine fairness in the FAKED interest of righting wrongs perpetrated against historically underserved communities. So just a concealed, academically legitimized Power and Economic Shift for Progressive Leftists' Revolution to pit races, religions, classes, genders, whatever against each other so that the self-coronated Referees of ever MORE intrusion, control, and social engineering may amass ever more power over individuals, families, corporations, departments of all levels of government, and all societal institutions.
Oh yeah, the pet industry needs a Czar. Trump isn't much of an animal lover, but someone needs to be put in charge of the small animal industry. Billion dollar industry and they are killing our pets. It makes me sick.
The Practice of Veterinary Medicine in the US is as awful as the Medical Industrial Healthcare Delivery System, pushing all manner of unnecessary ‘vaccines and boosters, and expensive ‘treatments, that do little to sustain an animal’s health.
This practice of unnecessary vaccines and ‘specialized treatments’ is just one GIANT revenue generating stream for the vet practice.
I battled with them for 16 years with my Australian Cattle Dog. Do vets ever mention that once an animal gets its initial ‘vaccines’ that in lieu of continuing to poison the crap out of them with ‘annual boosters’, you can blood titer test them for antibody levels? If they are high there is no need to booster them. That would be a NO. I had to find out about it on my own.
I never gave my Cattle Dog anymore ‘shots’ after her initial ‘puppy shots’! And I stopped the rabies vaccines as well. And she lived to be 16 years old!
The profession also is doing the facial recognition work, as well. Have you signed up for a conference lately? They want a photo, that is basically the same as a passport photo. They do not use it on the placard that goes in the lanyard, so it isn't for ID at the conference. It is all for the tracking, and giving the info to Big Brother.
Why anyone is a member of AVMA, (or AMA for that matter), is beyond me. They've been nothing but a shill for government for decades. But they sure like those dues.
I am only an AVMA member for the professional liability insurance. It's really good. Other than that, they are useless.
I have never gone to an AVMA convention. Were they to ask me for a picture, I would decline.
They also sent packets to people at the end of 2021 to have them RECOMMEND the COVID vaxx to their clients. That is absolutely illegal. Pretty big uproar about that.....but amazing how many vets jumped on board and said they would absolutely practice human medicine without a license and recommend that garbage. Unfortunately, the veterinary profession is to a large extent very liberal.......a bunch of cray cray liberal white women. I am a middle of the road white woman....who is sick and tired of having these idiots represent my demographic. It's so tiring.
Vet med is in trouble. The people in charge want us to go full corporate.......I'm 60, so I am glad I had the chance to actually practice with sanity....the new grads will be lucky to ever experience that.
Yesterday I removed a mass for $500. It took less than 20 minutes including prep. They came to me because another clinic quoted them $6,000......utter insanity.
Hospitals are just as bad!! Every doctor/nurse/tech has to do DEI training every year! Makes me want to 🤮. Thankfully I’m in Texas where we are not required to have our preferred pro nouns on our badges like in liberal states.
Not just DEI but worse, greed. Greed has taken over to care of ANIMALS. I can tell you I love my animals so, so much but not to their detriment or to the detriment of our family's finances.
When I look back at my own life and see how my perspectives have evolved (not just politically, but in lots of areas), I know that everyone can, and should, change as they get older and have more life experiences. Therefore, I am also giving Trump’s picks the benefit of the doubt… for now. I reserve the right to have a poor opinion of their performance once in office, though. We’ll see what they do.
This should ALWAYS be Our Policy as Americans...Never Trust and Continually Verify.
These people operate at a different level and scale than a typical voter...we must be watchful and wary of Every Single One of them and Loudly take them to task when needed but also have their back when they are unjustly targeted by Leftists and Media Muckrakers.
I preach this same idea to my local Rep Party...we must ACTIVELY support in every way good candidates (if available) but even then let them know we are THE Lobbying group for the voters who put them in position. The Precinct Committee (based on local Caucus/Assembly participation) holds THIS power FAR more than the Executive Committee even and we NEED to wield it.
Good points. I hesitate to stretch this analogy, but maybe Bessent’s “association” with Soros has elements of Gov Abbot’s “association” with the WEF and Christ’s “association” with satan. Knowing your enemy is a strength. I have a problem with Bessent making money for Soros, but he was hired to manage money, presumably not to strictly employ or promote the Soros ethos. Surely, he can do one without the other.
I’m loath to disagree with Elon, but I seriously doubt Soros hired Bessent to bankrupt Soros. The diversity of Trump’s nominees reflects compartmentalized expertise (immune to bafflement, I hope). If Bessent has a Soros bent toward abusing consumers, Trump’s broader policies should keep him in check. Without more specifically incriminating evidence against the man, I’ll take a wait-and-see approach.
Yes! Also, I think it’s really depressing and self-defeating to just be fighting boogeymen that haven’t even done anything yet. Let Trump have his picks, give them a chance to show us what they can do with his agenda.
Heck, I was a registered Democrat until a few years ago & I guess I wouldn't trust me either. But I still worked hard on the Recall Newsom campaign here in CA in 2020 & the RFK Jr. for President over the last year & a half. Some of us are late to the party.
NewScum... I bailed on Colorado Dem Party in 1992, Not Republican til 1995 and not because they're so great that's for sure...just less competent of 2 Evils i suppose. And proven out that Dems are the More EVIL group and worldview without any doubt...a Benevolent and manipulative conniving and convincing Evil from top to bottom in my State. They are elitist, disingenuous, power mad, greedy, liars and anti-christers who delve in every form of lie, perversion, fraud and corruption on behalf of the moronic masses. Not that i blame them, they aspire to Fundamentally Transform ALL of society from the womb to the tomb.
One of the lessons my Dad taught me when I was a child that there are two parallel trains going down the track towards a cliff, and one is going 40 mph (the Republican train) and one is going at 140 mph (the Demoncrat train). It is better to be on the one going 40 mph because at least we would have a chance to slow it down, possibly change course or as a last resort, jump off and survive. I have been a constitutional conversative Republican my entire life.
But that doesn't mean that I haven't grown in my understanding of the rot on the inside (RINOs, globalists, forever war lunatics like the Cheney's, Bushes, Romney's, McConnell's, et. al.). Thank God for Ron Paul, Rand Paul, and now President Trump and his team of warriors. For the DOGE, I pray that they look at the Constitution and then at a program or agency and ask the question: Does the Constitution authorize it? and if not, just get rid of it. 50 to 75% would be gone.
Surgeon General is a figurehead position, it has no real power. Look instead at those with actual authority in the new cabinet, RFK Jr (HHS), Makarty (FDA), and Weldon (CDC). All three of these guys are hated by pharma and the medical establishment.
You guys need to give Trump some credit, just perhaps he's smarter than you.
The new *figurehead* Surgeon General was likely nominated for three reasons:
1) She's pretty hot and very easy on the eyes (important)
2) She has a television background and understands the medium
3) For whatever reason (that we have zero insight into) Trump thinks she'll stay on the reservation.
He put bulldogs hated by all the right people into the power positions. He put a hot babe into the figurehead position that the public sees. The guy isn't insanely rich, living in a mansion with gold plated toilets, and surrounded by beautiful women due to luck. He's actually a smart guy and has done far more with his life than *any* of the constant complainers on here.
I think the uniparty, and never trumpers are already hard at work trying to undercut him before he even gets started. I'd say fuck them all, only I told a woman on here who had chastised me previously for using the "F", I'd try to do better, so I will just say "F" them all instead.
That's a strong argument, Jeff C. In Trump World, policy and promotion are two different animals. Trump's SG just might be mindless enough to promote whatever she's told to promote, talented and attractive enough to sell it well.
How many times did Trump go bankrupt? He's not a genius like so many here want to believe. He got rolled by the permanent state last time. He still brags about the bioweapon. But we are bad for pointing this out. We should ignore these glaring problems because you think he is amazing.....if everyone thought like you, nobody would be pushing him to do better. That is a problem.
Is it possible you might have filed for bankruptcy once or twice making profoundly big decisions. Not everything goes picture perfect, sometimes you make a decision which doesn't work. Bankruptcy is a law which is used everywhere by businesses of all sizes - and if they didn't it was probably because they were cheating or using yours and my taxpayers dollars as their "capital" while giving kickbacks to the scum in DC. You live and you learn. Look at the portfolio the man has put together. Banks are at his beckon call. Regarding the bullshit case in NYC, Deutsch Bank said he did NOTHING wrong and they'd gladly do business with him again as he paid off his debt on time and made them a lot of money. I love all the people who live in glass houses throwing rocks. Throw rocks at the outgoing criminals who have willfully and intentionally caused disaster after disaster for not only the USA but the world. Trump is going to do great things for the country and he is picking people, who may have some warts from their past, which they too have learned from.... just like Trump, you, and me.
So many people believe that if you’re financially wealthy, somehow you’re smarter and better than everyone else. Some philosophers would disagree. However, one must give him credit for his accomplishments. He may have gone bankrupt, but he recently raised 500 million dollars. That’s no easy accomplishment.
Trump is a flawed, egotistical person that married a woman young enough to be his daughter. She must shudder at the thought of his touch when night comes.
Trump will never admit that the shots are deadly or have harmed many. He wants people around him that support his point of view. I don’t see his Surgeon General as a “hot babe.” I see her as someone that shared Trump’s opinion about the shots.
I think Trump will do many good things as president, but I don’t see him as a demigod. He’s wonderful at manipulating people. He’s like a pied piper.
I think she could leave in a heart beat if she wanted to, she is a beautiful, successful woman on her own. She could probably have anyone she wants (I volunteer), yet she stays happily with DJT. He has grown a family who loves him and an immensely successful business from the bottom up. And now he wants to give back to the country which enabled him to do so well. Let him do his work and be glad he is doing it for you and for me, and for all of us.
Of course she could leave him, but she doesn’t want to give up the lifestyle that Trump, an obese man old enough to be her father, can give her 🤣😂🤣
You don’t know if their marriage is a happy one. But I’m pretty sure since she is slender and beautiful, Trump’s touch on her body isn’t something she truly enjoys. It’s only natural that she would want someone more youthful and physically fit. However, they don’t have the financial wherewithal that he has.
Or perhaps she is not the gold digger and superficial person you appear to be. You make a ton of assumptions and accusations w/o providing verifiable facts. She has her own wealth and could also divorce and get a nice settlement, but hasn't done any of it.
🤣😂🤣 If you think a woman wants to sleep with a fat, unattractive man old enough to be her father then you are delusional. You probably have a very young girlfriend. 🤣😂🤣
Also, I never said Melania was superficial. She probably is compatible with Trump in many other ways. Melania also just wanted an ultra-luxury lifestyle. I see nothing wrong with that. Many pretty Asian women married American military men to escape poverty. I don’t see anything wrong with that and know some are genuinely nice women. However, their husbands are generally unattractive
Tiger’s interracial relationship with Elin was different. They were both around the same age, attractive and both were physically fit. Trump has also cheated on all of his wives. So your argument falls flat.
I’m glad Trump won. However, so many (including you) have romanticized Trump. I look at him through a pragmatic lens. Because of Trump, millions of people have died or become permanently disabled. The survivors will never hear an apology from Trump.
I didn't say Melania was superficial, I said you are Sarah.
Thank you for admitting that Elin didn't care that woods had it all and still dumped him.
When did Trump cheat on Melania? Be careful, do your research.
You want to think I have romanticized Trump but again you are making an assumption without having facts or a clue. Trump is on a mission for the American people and people like you who want to try and take him down because of your own inadequacies and jealousy just need to shush and let him do his work. He was doing great things for the country in his first term, before they ended his first term with a coup d'etat and he will do even greater things in his second term.
A woman in love, who is truly loved/adored by her man is wonderfully capable of returning love in so many ways. You seem to not understand that, how many times have you been divorced?
One other thing to share with you. An example. Tiger Woods and Elin Nordgren. Tiger, young, handsome, worth a billion dollars easy. #1 golfer in the world. Elin, stunning gorgeous and actually loved Tiger. But Tiger couldn't keep his schlong in his pants and Elin said see ya and took about .3 billion with her. Had it all except the loving devoted man she wanted, and deserved. I'm sure you can make the comparison to DJT and Melania without me spelling it out. The great thing about women not born in nor socialized in the United States - having lived abroad in many countries for a good part of my adult life, I can speak with some knowledge - is they still believe in more than just fleeting looks and so-so sex (instead of lovemaking) and moving on to the next loser and the next loser, etc, or becoming "white supremacist lefty lesbians" with two last names and a Post Hole Digger (PHD) on grooming/trans'ing 2 yr old kids from Academia.
You’ve got Donald Trump derangement syndrome bad. 🤣😂🤣 Call me any names you like, but do your research. You know me not. I’m not preventing him from doing anything with my little comments.
As I said, your Tiger argument falls flat. They are different people and couples with different life experiences. One cannot compare the two. Many women stay in abusive relationships. Does that mean Melania is in an abusive relationship? All it means is different couples stay together for different reasons.
Anyhow,I’m done talking to you. See reason below:
Fable: DON'T ARGUE WITH “DONKEYS”
The donkey said to the tiger: - "The grass is blue".
The tiger replied: - "No, the grass is green."
The discussion heated up, and the two decided to submit to arbitration, and for this they went before the lion, the King of the Jungle.
Already before reaching the forest clearing, where the lion was sitting on his throne, the donkey began to shout:
- "His Highness, is it true that the grass is blue?".
The lion replied: - "True, the grass is blue."
The donkey hurried and continued: - "The tiger disagrees with me and contradicts and annoys me, please punish him."
The king then declared: - "The tiger will be punished with 5 years of silence."
The donkey jumped cheerfully and went on his way, content and repeating: - "The Grass Is Blue"
The tiger accepted his punishment, but sentencing before he asked the lion: - "Your Majesty, why have you punished me?, after all, the grass is green."
The lion replied: - "In fact, the grass is green."
The tiger asked: - "So why are you punishing me?".
The lion replied: - "That has nothing to do with the question of whether the grass is blue or green.
The punishment is because it is not possible for a brave and intelligent creature like you to waste time arguing with a donkey, and on top of that come and bother me with that question."
The worst waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who does not care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions. Never waste time on arguments that don't make sense...
There are people who, no matter how much evidence and evidence we present to them, are not in the capacity to understand, and others are blinded by ego, hatred and resentment, and all they want is to be right even if they are not.
When ignorance screams, intelligence is silent. Your peace and quiet are worth more. ❤️
Your "little comments" lack merit, so they get called out.
re: As I said, your Tiger argument falls flat. They are different people and couples with different life experiences. One cannot compare the two. Many women stay in abusive relationships. Does that mean Melania is in an abusive relationship? All it means is different couples stay together for different reasons.
Strawman full of bovine excrement. Tiger's couple didn't stay together, Melania's has and is still today strong and together.
Jealousy doesn't serve you well, makes you blinded to reality.
There are plenty of positive things about Trump. I just get annoyed when people act like he is some genius and built all of his own wealth. He inherited wealth, which enabled him to build it. Building a business is much easier when you already have capital. In fact, its nearly impossible to do if you don't, especially these days....
By the same token though, just because you inherit wealth doesn’t mean you keep it. There are many stories of people who squandered what they inherited with foolish extravagant spending and poor management of that inherited wealth.
She's terrible. We can't win them all. But I'm mainly referring to the general trends that these people do change over time. Is the Treasury Secretary pick that Jeff mentioned going to be a dud? Who knows.
It's easy to doom post so I'm trying to avoid that...
The war isn’t over, just getting started. I say we pray hard and frequently for God to work in this process of personnel selection, that Trump become aware of any traitors and poor selections (and dismiss or walk them back) sooner rather than later, and that any nefarious individuals or plots be fully exposed and dealt with. I pray a lot for Trump’s safety, wisdom, and integrity.
Good take. I'm with Jeff on this one - we need to give it time to play out. And of course we cannot win them all. It's politics and it's life. The other side has people and money, too. They have cards to play and they play them (Gaetz, eg).
These people being selected also don't have to change. They just have to do their jobs or be fired. Most of them are just figurehead politicians who will say/do what they are told or bend whichever way the wind blows. Most in politics are not principled people.
The ultimate goal is to convince others to join your side in order to create a more lasting political realignment. To win people over. Which means selecting some people the other side will find palatable to deliver your message and enact your policies (e.g., this SG pick everyone - except apparently RFK - hates). See also: RFK Jr. Not exactly a conservative's ideal partner. You can't effectively persuade the whole of the country with a small group of people that nearly half the country dislikes and distrusts.
FWIW, it looks to me like they are prioritizing some fights over others, which is going to upset many on our side. The regulatory, budget, and economic issues are clearly their top priority. Which probably makes sense b/c that is pretty dire. We have dozens of Ponzi schemes about to blow up due to demographic issues. And regulations are strangling our small and mid-size businesses. The medical freedom stuff will take more time to undo, as it's been 100 years in the making and well over half the country are fully propagandized. And the thing I personally want to most see happen - dismantling the CIA/FBI - probably isn't going to happen in Trump's term. Just reality.
RU - I especially like your last paragraph. The bloated corrupt bureaucracy has been expanding for decades, and cannot be taken down in one year. Like you mentioned, the medical establishment is deeply entrenched, and backed by propaganda and Big Pharma. But taking decisive actions will begin a process that cannot be stopped. And there really needs to be a chainsaw taken to the FBI and CIA asap.
If the economy is humming everything works better and if we get tax breaks we have more to spend. if the cost of energy goes down the price of EVERYTHING IS CHEAPER.
So all good. "Its the economy, stupid!"
CIA/FBI/"INTEL COMMUNITY" IS NOT going to get dismantled but can get seriously reformed and a lot of people held accountable.
Trump sees it all and has the where with all and incentive - after what they've done to him, his family, associates - to take them down. And with Matt Gaetz as special prosecutor, there's going to be a lot of taking down happening, its a target rich environment.
People may change over time. But does their level of intelligence change? I don't see how anyone who wasn't either evil or downright stupid could have ever thought the jabs were a good idea except possibly for those at the highest levels of vulnerability to COVID. So, that includes the SG pick, and by that standard, Trump himself, much as I hate to say it. It was all blazing red flags all over the place. We were old enough to qualify for the first round, but OF COURSE never remotely considered getting jabbed. Turns out they did more harm than good for every demographic, even the old and sick. I only have faith in those who saw through it from the beginning. Anyone who didn't is sorely lacking.
Bluster and arrogance not as good, agreed. But they're pretty powerful, given the human attraction to "strong", "leadership" qualities. Intelligence and insightfulness don't sell nearly as well to most.
Conservatives often make fun of leftists for living outside reality. Are conservatives much better when they refuse to acknowledge Trump just saying the jabs saved hundreds of millions of lives? And he said that after winning the election. I'm overjoyed he won, and have more hope than in a long time. But I'm not seeing how these picks run counter to his own ideology. His picks are mostly very good though, hopefully squishy Republicans will be afraid to buck him and vote them down.
I lean your way, SteelJ, but if politics required saints, we’d have been toast long before the Constitutional Convention. We don’t need guard dogs to repent, and doing so would only make Trump look weak to our enemies. If he’ll stay on mission, I’ll live with his character flaws.
He may not want to come right out with self-flagellation for his enormous, epic fail on his COVID response. I can see the argument for that. But he doesn't have to say his precious jabs saved hundreds of millions of lives. That is over-the-top disgusting. I'm very glad he won, of course. And as I said, more hopeful than in many years. But there is something fundamentally very wrong with this man that troubles me, to be able to say things like that. You may remember it was earlier THIS YEAR he touted the jabs as his greatest achievement. That's no indication that he gets it, seems he definitely does NOT get it.
Fundamentally very wrong is right. Hard to imagine any political or practical benefit of bragging about being top dog when all hell broke loose. I think they set him up then and will use it against him later. He should shut up about it and focus on what can be unburdened by what has been.
He's still the Miracle Vaxx president in his own mind i guess...if only one close family member of his had an Adverse Reaction (lord forbid) he may have a genuine awakening as to how they played him as the Pandemic Patsy President
Because - politics. Even Trump has to engage in the game somewhat. We all know he will not hesitate to fire anyone who disappoints him or is not loyal.
I wonder if DT didn't offer up some powerless posts that lack authority to gain support in other ways. Surgeon General has no authority at all. Possibly the same with Labor dept pick - DT got support from some big labor groups. He has the power to fire these folks if they buck his agenda.
All good pointes, and many of us have learned there is more to Trump's picks than we can see at first glance. Remember, Trump is a genius and a chess player. The nomination of Matt Gaetz is now referred to as the Gaetz Gambit. It was a calculated move that produced the desired results.
my wife is WAY bigger Trump supporter than I've EVER Been. She's a lifelong Dem and i switched in 1995 after the Gingrich Revolution to restrain the Evil Dem. Clinton-Machine of the day
I agree, people change. Even though I have always been on the conservative side, I still cringe when I think of how I supported the Bushes. They are monstrous swamp creatures. And, there are other times I joined up with the wrong side on things. Like gun control...I have young kids and there was a time I was very terrified about school shootings. I have since evolved my thinking and realized that an unarmed populace is much more dangerous than the very rare mad man situation we all fear. But there was a time when my thinking was wrong on this, is my point. I do think people can change, and should be allowed to change. It's a necessary part of ensuring we all get to the right place eventually.
Yes, people can change. And I still see it as Dream Team - Tulsi, RFK Jr, Elon, Vivek, and possibly Kash at FBI. Who would have imagined these picks a year ago? Not me. I'm extremely hopeful and elated. I didn't even really expect Trump to seriously attempt to do what he's about to do, but he's not messing around this time. I can't wait :) If Rubio does the neocon thing, Trump can fire him. If any of these cabinet picks get out of line, Trump will fire them. I suspect that will be JD's role - making sure all of these Agency/Dept heads do what they are supposed to. #winning
By the way, the pick I was most disappointed in is the Labor Secretary. That's the main confirmation hearing I want to watch. But then again support for unions keeps driving businesses and manufacturing to my neck of the woods. There is always a bright side. A Republican congress will never go for things like the Pro Act. And they've tried to unionize the Amazon dist center 20 miles away from me about 3 times, and we keep voting it down.
And the eyeballs on Trump's sketchy picks with be in the millions. They know they'll be watched and scrutinized, like a fish in a bowl. The very best kind of accountability.
Consider the alternative, nut case climate fanatic and general douche bag, "Inventor of the Internet" al gore. They are why Im no longer a Republican.... now I'm just a dyed in the wool, Christian Constitutional Conservative.
The last 12 years has been a wake up call for many people. Then from 2020 onward, with the pLandemic and stolen elections, many people said enough is enough.
I don't think Trump is democrat or republican - even though he used the Republican party as a sort of launch platform - its why the uniparty hates him. I think he is 100% Make America Great Again and is picking people who know, like Santa, who has been naughty and nice. People who will help him get to the core of the problem and destroy it root and branch. I like that. I don't categorize myself as Democrat or Republican. I am a Christian Constitutional Conservative and align myself with others like me or closest to like me.
My thought is a LOT of people will have some or major fundamental change since 2016. Some will be milder, others dramatic. Some will disguise it, others champion it.
But make no mistake, the COVID tyranny and subsequent medical catastrophes are poking holes in unconscious mental narratives all the time, and people are changing even if we can't see it from a distance.
Much depends on level of mental block to change. Hard to know what political appointees really believe if you cannot see first-hand evidence of what they actually do.
We'll know soon enough. If some are "bad," Trump needs to move swiftly to correct.
The difference between success and failure is often how quickly one recognizes and corrects mistakes. Trump should be far faster this time around to course correct. Or else...
Another one... People have tried to make a big deal that Scott Bessent worked for George Soros... I just read that he interned with Jim Rogers when he was in college. Jim Rogers is a big time Austrian Economics supporter. That's a really good connection to have.
This Thanksgiving, I am especially grateful. I’m still so joyful each day since the election. Unlike 4 years ago, when the Vegetable was installed as #46. When we all gather for dinner this Thursday, continued blessings for our great nation. MAGA! MAHA!
I’ll raise you two cheating Michigan’s…at least PA got some brains going and kept Casey out. Now we just have to shake up the Uniparty Republicans that it’s not “business as usual” any longer
Here in Arizona, we’ve had all Senate seats, AG and Governor stolen. Apparently Lara Trump has packed up her lawyers and gone home, because nothing is even being said about it. (Except the cartel-connected Gallego and hideous troll space cadet Mark Kelly are spiking the football on the local news every night.)
Yeah, there is that. But it’s finally up to the people of the state to push back and to push mightily. And that particularly means the GOP neocons. Get rid of all of them. Why did Sinema retire so quickly in AZ? And what has happened to the pink tutu-ed bright star of the Dems in AZ. I kind of liked her when she didn’t wear white along with all the other Dem women at one of DJT’s State of the Union addresses.
It is easy to say get rid of them all, not so easy to do when the people who are in power built the s_Election system which now keeps them in power. You can identify the problem, but then try to get anyone to volunteer to help you do what needs to be done.
As for Sinema, i think she grew up and changed too and could no longer stomach the cancer in DC.
I hear ya. Detroit has been run by Democrats and corrupt for so long, no one paid attention any longer. As long as it was Motor City and there were jobs aplenty, cities like Lansing, Flint, and Saginaw grew. Now they are wastelands of weed infested, slabs of broken cement and hollowed out buildings, surrounded by chain link fence. Michigan would switch party affiliation every 8 years of governor and the Legislature was”solidly” Republican for 40 years. We found out how an election that placed 3 Marxist women at the levers of Gov., AG, and SOS could destroy a state in 4 years, but it had been in the works for decades. Covid sure opened our eyes. Now we claw our way back out from under a MiGOP that is almost as bad as the Marxist Dems, but they can’t hide any longer.
We all have a lot of clawing to do, and it starts at County level reasserting our constitutional rights and putting back in place elections instead of s_Elections. And we have a Federal Government who will now back us instead of locking us in DC gulags because we dared to challenge - rightfully - the stolen 2020 election by showing up in DC to petition our government.
Thank God Trump is going to be doing a lot of clawing too. And I think he will be working on removing machines and mail in ballots as an ultra high priority since they were both used to steal his re-election in 2020.
At first I was hoping this election was some sort of rope-a-dope where they would get the evidence to catch them all, but then I read the Q posts. 53-47 in the Senate was forecast by Q way back in 2018, and here we are. Apparently we have more struggling to do in Arizona. Maybe they'll all be arrested when they try to prevent the illegal alien roundups that will be incoming?
Although Q did mention "Watch the water" several times. Maybe Q was referring to Lake.
Isn't WI as bad? at least in Coloraddo we are all shamed (even by Republicrats and Liebertarians) into accepting how the defective and hacked system is still perfect and the Evil corrupt people managing it are fair and equitable professionals. Also 63 of 64 Counties using Dominion is NOT a Monopoly or threat to democracy.
Congrats to Robby Starbuck for his push to force Walmart to end its DEI policies. And congrats to Walmart for recognizing that DEI never was about what it claimed to be, and that Americans found it repugnant. I do have to shop at Walmart for some things that I cannot get at Dollar General or Aldi's. Now I can feel better about it.
Look up Colin Wright's substack about how this new DEI study is being ignored:
The evidence presented in these studies reveals that while purporting to combat bias, some anti-oppressive DEI narratives can engender a hostile attribution bias and heighten racial suspicion, prejudicial attitudes, authoritarian policing, and support for punitive behaviors in the absence of evidence for a transgression deserving punishment. Although not addressed in the studies reported herein, it is also possible that these factors are mutually reinforcing and spread through social contagion. Our findings raise this possibility which we offer here in the form of a post-hoc process model (to be investigated in futurestudies ):
1. Anti-Oppressive Intervention: DEI training rooted in anti-oppressive rhetoric introduces
narratives that lead people to assume that certain groups are inherent oppressors and others
Well the increased suspicion is not surprising when all it takes to “prove” discrimination is someone in a protected group saying “you just know” when someone is being racist or discriminatory. No further evidence needed according to them, no question of intent or anything. You “just know” 🙄
My comment was in relation to something I heard a DEI supporting “minority” say, during a discussion about supposedly “racist” acts and statements that were on the face of it, actually pretty ambiguous at best. I asked how would you know what the intent was or if it was truly racist without additional evidence? I wax informed that “POC always ‘just know’” when the motivation behind an action is because of racism. I just found that completely flabbergasting and totally unfair. But she was very sure of her assertion. When people are constantly looking for racism amd don’t need any evidence to prove it, their own “feelings” are sufficient proof, it is small wonder that relationships are poisoned 😕
"......it is small wonder that relationships are poisoned."
Agreed. Had a conversation with friends just yesterday. Everyone with kids ~40 say the same thing: they're all brainwashed and "intolerant" of those whom THEY claim are intolerant. Most of the people in this group have ~40 year old prodigals who have not spoken to them for years. It's like a creeping mold has overcome them.
"And congrats to Walmart for recognizing that DEI never was about what it claimed to be, and that Americans found it repugnant."
I think you're giving Walmart far too much credit.
As the #1 retailer in the world, which shocks but does not surprise me, I'm fairly certain they COULD NOT CARE LESS about what Americans want. They are swayed by $$$$ and will "flow" as needed in order to get more of it. I'd be willing to lay odds they'd march into the mouth of Hell to increase their bottom line!
Their "love of money" will eventually be their demise.
Witchcraft and Satanism still in vogue in a post-Christian society that has benefited and been overly sated by materialism due to hardworking, fair, decent Christian forbears who pushed against oppression and dishonesty...don't wear that cross in public it's offensive.
Boom! Loved this morning’s C&C! I was somewhat surprised and appalled to see how many commenters have suddenly turned on the new president elect with one pick, the Surgeon General. I don’t like her, but I don’t like 85% of the DC entrenched bureaucracy. I’m not going to question Trump’s strategy playing right now. It is a game of chess I do not understand, but Trump has suffered too much at the hands of elitists and neocons for me to not support him. As all his picks go, let’s see what the worthless media touts.
How fast we forget the plots to topple his first presidency, the plot to unleash a bioweapon against the country from his own government, the stolen election, the J6 plot, the law fare of the last 4 years against him, the assassination attempt, which but for God would have killed him, and still he fought on. Trump is not my savior, and he will not solve where we have gotten ourselves, but he is here for a reason. He received the popular vote majority, that just doesn’t happen. Who would be better? He didn’t have to do any of this.
The WEF has become the boogie man for everyone thinking the world is ending. They know how to use propaganda better than anyone. They know where Americans fears and anxieties lie and they use these tools to fool many into thinking they know more than the average Joe who is just trying to make a living and raise a family. Be a good American. With the internet anyone can be anything they choose. They can defame and raise false gods. DJT did nothing in his first term that made me distrust him or call him a fool. He is wiser now, let’s roll…
Only because we have a bunch of un-elected USA hating buffoons "running" the country - into the ground - right now. Let's not forget Trump created the US Space Force before the Coup d'Etat. Imagine if you will, a space and land based protective dome over the USA. And the "missiles" don't travel at a measly 10x the speed of sound, instead, try 186,000 miles per second. Yes, the speed of light, and by light I mean High Energy LASER.
Luckily not every General in DOD is a dress wearing DEI CRT clown, and a whole lot fewer will be shortly, thank God and Trump.
Here is some info from AI on HEL STRATEGIC and TACTICAL weapons currently being worked on in DOD, UNCLASSIFIED:
"The Department of Defense (DOD) is developing high-energy laser weapons (HELs) for a variety of tactical and strategic missions, including:
Air defense
The US Army deployed a pair of 20-kilowatt Palletized High Energy Lasers (P-HEL) overseas in November 2022 to shoot down enemy drones. The P-HELs were developed by BlueHalo, an American defense contractor.
Ship-based defense
The US Navy installed a 60-kilowatt laser weapon on the USS Preble in August 2022 to defend against missiles, drones, and small, fast-moving ocean surface vessels.
Aircraft defense
The US Air Force is developing high-energy lasers for offensive and defensive aircraft missions. In 2010, the Air Force tested a megawatt laser on a modified Boeing 747 to shoot down a ballistic missile.
Space-based defense
The DOD is developing a constellation of laser-weapon platforms in space to provide air and ballistic missile defense.
The DOD is also developing a diagnostic system called GRAILLE-II to evaluate the performance of its high-energy laser systems.
HELs have several advantages over traditional missiles, including:
Cost
Firing a high-powered laser costs between $1 and $10, which is much less than traditional defensive systems.
Speed
Laser beams travel at the speed of light, allowing them to better track and target fast-moving weapons.
Mobility
HELs can be mounted on wheeled or tracked vehicles to move with troops and provide air defense.
However, HELs also have some limitations, including:
They require a clear line of sight to the target.
They need a stable platform to perform optimally.
They can be affected by cloud, rain, smoke, or manmade countermeasures."
Makes Putin's and anyone else's hypersonic weapons immediately scrap metal.
Good and glorious morning C&C family. My sister took 2 of the Covid shots + a booster. She has an undiagnosed auto immune issue. Currently, she is being treated for diverticulitis, and UTI and the presence of H. Pylori. I am going to suggest FLCCC. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated! Make today epic! Thanks much!
Sepsis is another complication of untreated or unsuccessfully treated UTI (which can happen if the infection is caused by drug-resistant bacteria), which can be life-threatening. An infusion of intravenous vitamin C with hydrocortisone and thiamine has been shown to reduce mortality from sepsis nearly fivefold, but many health care professionals are still unaware of this revolutionary treatment. ( from Dr Mercola stack)
My son SIL was admitted to the hospital for sepsis. When I asked if they’d administered the Marik protocol they looked blank. Never heard of it. Then they were resistant. Ugh.
I think it is purposeful ignorance. They are beholden to the Drug Industrial Complex (DIC), so there is virtually no whole of health care (actual natural solutions) when it comes to these issues with these "doctors". If there were, we would have never had all these jabs. Ignore things that work, like Ivermectin, Quercetin, Zinc, D3/K2, B-complex, vitamin C, Black Cumin Seed Oil, Coriander Oil, Turmeric, etc., etc.
Energy Density Frequency Medicine is proven to knock out every virus and bacteria from the bloodstream in about 10 minutes. It was first developed by the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Today, we have a fully developed product from their research: https://www.swisstransfer.com/d/c20e94f3-e60c-4e6d-83d8-8ef854f2fcac
On a side note, I take 2000mg of vit. C every day as a preventative (both for UTIs as I am now a post-menopausal woman, and for cold/flu prevention). It's cheap and it is water-soluble so you will pee out any excess. There is also evidence it helps maintain the integrity of the inner lining of our blood vessels.
That’s what happened to my Dad who passed in September. He was unjabbed (as far as we know) although had been in and out of the hospital over the last few years and I swear if I ever find out they gave it to him unbeknownst to us, I will …
There was a young athlete in my area who had a UTI and it was left untreated. Probably her symptoms might have been mild. Then she was hit with sepsis. Pretty sure she was jabbed.
Tried that and just about everything else for recurrent UTI’s. I take Hiprex (prescription) twice a day, for maybe 2 years now. After going through at least 8 UTI infections in a year and having a camera put up there and finding no abnormalities, it has been a godsend. My urologist said it basically turns my urine into something like formaldehyde (without that odor, thank goodness) so no bacteria can grow in it. It works, in any case. I’d prefer an all natural method but if you’ve exhausted everything like I did, it might be worth asking about.
Did try Uquora, cranberry juice and supplements, extra D-mannose, you name it. It was so frustrating! Almost thought I had a flare up on a recent trip to Europe with my BF, but oh, just passed a kidney stone instead. 🤦🏼♀️. Shout out to Salzburg’s local hospital for that one.
My PCP referred me to a URO/GYN due to recurrent UTI’s. She performed a cystoscope and found the walls of my bladder loaded with bacteria. So every time I was prescribed antibiotic by my PCP the UTI would cede temporarily but come back within a 2-3week period. The URO/GYN had me on a low dose of the “correct” antibiotic (after culture came back with the ID of the bacteria). I was on that particular antibiotic for 6 months. It’s been over 18 months now, and I haven’t had any UTI’s since then.
Yes this - generic name is methenamine - is working for my elderly mother. Found a doc who knew about this and was able to get her off the prophylactic antibiotics.
You need to find something that will break down the biofilm in the bladder. The biofilm prevents the antibiotics from actually reaching the bacteria to kill them.
No sugar !!! Doesn’t solve everything, but made the largest impact on my health !! Dr Lustig’s book Metabolical …he also is all over YouTube. Prayers 🙏 for your sister !
My husband doc at the VA in Cape Coral said she won’t test for h pylori because everyone has it. I was appalled. (My leaky gut is getting worse & they don’t care. )
H pylori is not the cause of ulcers. It is like blaming the firefighters that show up to put out the fire as the cause of the fire. Bacteria appears at sites that are already compromised as a cleanup crew. It is only when conditions are out of balance that bacteria overgrows. Everyone does have H Pylori but it is in balance with all the bacteria in your gut unless something else has changed to allow overgrowth. Could be diet, could be emotions, could be medications...everyone's story is different.
All of her issues are symptoms of the bio-weapon's effect on her immune system. That has to be addressed or her body will continue to develop challenges that will eventually degrade her health to the point of death.
Sepsis is another complication of untreated or unsuccessfully treated UTI (which can happen if the infection is caused by drug-resistant bacteria), which can be life-threatening. An infusion of intravenous vitamin C with hydrocortisone and thiamine has been shown to reduce mortality from sepsis nearly fivefold, but many health care professionals are still unaware of this revolutionary treatment.
Look into DMSO, one of the most helpful substances in human history...and therefore actively discouraged by the medical/pharma establishment, of course. Go find A Midwestern Doctor's substack and read everything you can. One example:

( From Dr Mercola stack)
It’s super important that the UTI is fully treated. I’m not sure the best protocol. Maybe a functional medicine doc and a naturopath would both be helpful. I just know that I lost a dear friend much too soon to a UTI that was supposedly better (treated with a full course of antibiotics by a conventional MD), but then she went suddenly septic and her organs shut down. She was also vaxxed and boosted. Prayers for you and your family!
Eric Daugherty on X (via Pamela Gellar): "Mexican president announces she is stopping the migrant caravans from arriving at the U.S. southern border after Trump's tariff threat.
The announcement came only 12 hours later."
Assuming it pans out, funny what they can do with sufficient incentive.
It's too late for "before we get to that point", since Russia already launched their hazelnut. However, it's NEVER too late for a peace deal :) I don't think the B-H folks are interested, but probably the T-V crew can do it.
Obamas came from one of the outside the swamp leftist enclaves and then became/merged into becoming part of the swamp. These two wretches (Sullivan and Goodlander) were groomed and checked all the corrupt boxes inside of the beltway coming up from the "inside" of the sewer. Same type of wretched lawless creatures, they just took different paths.
You nailed it Yuri. They used millions of the DC swamp money to purchase the seat. It is a D leaning districted seat, but they barely won. Margaret (Maggie) had to rent an apartment in the district to "qualify" to run and Lily still almost beat her. Maggie used a sign designer that mimicked Maggie Hassan (current federal senator) to garner name recognition and make people see the signs as if it were Maggie Hassan. Excellent marketing on their part. Goodlander will be another solid swamp/deep state vote for the destruction of the Republic.
Unfortunately, many still wrongly believe that Russia are the aggressors.
The US overthrew Ukraine via color revolution, took control via proxy, built a standing army on Russia’s border, supplied them with NATO weapons and training, and are now launching US missiles into Russia.
How would you feel if Russia overthrew Canada via color revolution, took control of their government via proxy, built a massive army on our border, gave them Russian missiles, and then helped Canada shoot those missiles inside the United States? Because that’s what the US just did to Russia.
Remember the Cuban missile crisis? The US had a hard red line for the Soviet Union, that they could NOT put nuclear missiles within range to strike the US. We almost went to direct kinetic war with Russia over the situation.
Now the US, by control of the Deep State, put missiles and armies on Russia’s border, after Putin told us for decades that it was a hard red line for them, just like it’s a red line for the US.
The US are the aggressors. They ignored all the attempts at diplomacy, they ignored Russia’s warnings, brought war to Russia’s doorstep, and now Putin is backed into a corner. He does not want this war, he just wants NATO missiles and armies away from his border, which historically, is a fairly reasonable request.
If you still think that Russia moved into Ukraine “unprovoked”, you are brainwashed.
Susan, all valid points that have been ignored or downplayed by the media for years. They are still using Russia as the boogie man, but the people have wised up.
Thank you Susan. Totally over the target. It is the United States that is, even criminally so, The Menace of the World. And 'World' includes all of us regular people in the United States who have been mercilessly ravaged by the Evil Wizards and War Lords 'ruling' over us (unconstitutionally).
And if I were a German person and saw my country's economy leveled by official US policy, I be hot mad about it (as I am about the situation in the US). Any sane person or country, with the track record (very bad) ought not want to have anything to do with the United States.
You know, I still do not get notification when someone "replies" to my comment. I only get notices of "likes". If I want to see if someone replied, I have to go back and physically look at the string again. Frustrating.
Where have I heard this before? Oh yeah, you said it..............................................
...It’s as if they have trans-Atlantic spectacles on, and they are incapable of recognizing that the world around them has changed in the most dramatic way, in a way we haven’t seen in 500 years.
“I have maintained many times in the past that the change we are seeing right now is as fundamental as the change from the Dark Age of the 14th Century to the Renaissance of Italy and modern times, which was introduced by that, leading to a completely different set of axioms—in the understanding of people about man, nature, the society, and so forth...
Thanks Dave, you are also right over the target. I think if and when we can ever get the 17th Amendment repealed, we will be able to sustain the gains that Trump (if the deep state doesn't pull a fast one on us and start WWIII) will surely garner over this second term.
That "progressive" destruction of federalism I believe is the single biggest detrimental issue we have been subject too. The states (via the state legislatures) are the only ones that can actually rein in the uncontrolled money buying schemes in the "senate" races and return the sovereignty of the legislature's representation at the federal level. It is time that the senators WORK for their respective states and not to the deep state or their big donor election funding providers.
Yours is a correct view. The lie was fostered that the direct election by 'the people' of federal senators would enlarge 'democracy' in action, and not that the States themselves should have representation as a direct input of control over a possibly wayward federal government. And thereby the 17th Amendment the many several states were diminished while the power in Washington was enlarged ... pretty much as you represent. As well, the power of the less populated states was impacted.
That which created the federal power was now subordinate to its creation. But not entirely though as we see in the example of what Florida has managed to accomplish. Nonetheless, I would be glad to see the 17th deep sixed and the appointment of federal senators returned to the states.
And so you support Ukraine in all things, and you’re happy they built up a war machine to swat at Russia. With no influence from the cia, the biolabs built there on our behalf, and the constant shelling of innocents in their own country, for preference of Russia. And it gas nothing to do with the massive laundering of cash from the us to your friendly progressive politicians. You must have Clydesdale sized blinders on, Benn.
Russia did move into Ukraine unprovoked. The west told Putin he was launching an invasion, he said he wasn't.
The US didn't make millions of Ukrainians protest again the corrupt and illegitimate Ynuckovych regime.
Russia's puppet did by turning his back on the people and using his goons to murder unarmed protestors.
If you want to make the comparison to the US, there isn't one. We'd have to have committed genocide against canada, perverted their elections, forced them to disarm and stiffle their own military, and force them to make economic choices for US and not themselves.
Nato didn't build a massive army in Ukraine. Ukrainians did.
There's no comparison.
Because Russia? That's what Putin did.
Putin does want this war. He refused any kinds of negotiations and wanted to showcase how powerful the Russian army was. It majorly backfired.
Russia violated 5 major agreements and treaties proving that they can't be trusted. Budapest, Friendship, Minsk 1 and 2.
And now? Putin has 2 more major Nato nations on his border with Nato missiles within range of another major Russian city. Such a great job, 4d chess brah.
Russia is the aggressor. And if you don't believe it, by all means-get the Russian covid vaccine which Putin loves and Russia has approved for children and young as 6.
The situation in Ukraine has a very long history. We should have been wise not to meddle in other countries’ internal affairs. If we had been wise, there wouldn’t be a war raging in Ukraine nor would be on the precipice of nuclear annihilation. In other words, we are the ones mainly responsible for the mess there. We went back on our agreements with Russia to keep Ukraine neutral. Putin has exercised great restraint. The fools here have progressed from poking the Russian bear to kicking him in the testicles. Let’s pray for infusion of sanity into the fools.
Nonsense Benny, the enemy of world peace is nested in the bowels of the US deep state department, the Pentagon, and the CIA, which used Ukraine as its headquarters. Putin has engaged in cleaning up that mess and protecting his people.
Mental exercise:Russia installs (against international agreement) bio labs in Cuba or Mexico or Canada or heck - even Grenada. Would the US be ok with that? I’m no fan of Russia but I can’t help but think this isn’t cut and dry as that they are the aggressors 🤷🏻♀️
I tend to think if Russia was the aggressor, they’d aggressively defeat Ukraine in a heartbeat. They have the munitions to do it and Europe can’t withstand their hypersonic missiles.
We’ve been lied to for so long, but at some point we have to stop and ask ourselves what is true. Russia has the ability to decimate their neighbors. They have not, even while grievously provoked. If they’re really the bad guy, why haven’t they?
And now as a direct result of the war another nation bordering Russia joined nato and to add to the insult it's a nation that used to be a Russian empire territory. Awkward!
Do not be ignorant of the fact that Obama and Victoria Newland’s color revolution stooge Zelensky had been using his goose stepping Azov Brigade Nazis go into Donbas to persecute and kill civilians of Russian descent. Especially early in the war where they killed civilians and blamed the Russians. Does Hamas come to mind? The Russians helped these people with medicine food and water. Plenty of behind-the-scenes video footage of embedded journalists to back this up. Of course you would never see this MSM. Another reason Putin was pushed into Ukraine. A previous commentor stated Ukraine was the deep states headquarters. Can’t argue that, no wonder DC has sent $200 billion over there.
Patently false and you well know that. But it wont stop you from showing up and trying to curry favor any time the war and Ukraine makes the C&C headlines. Make know mistake, Benji is a glowie as they come, and no amount of sheep’s clothing will change that. Because if you can watch billions being funneled into a nation for regime change and warfare, and then say it a completely independent “revolution” there has got to be a a three letter sponsored cubicle in play.
But dont worry Benji, just keep chanting: 3 day war! Putler is a nazi! We intercepted them all! Just LOOK at all the meat-wave attacks! Just LOOK at’em!
The US had bioweapon labs set up along the Russian border in Ukraine. The first places Putin struck was those biolabs, with surgical precision. Somehow, that fails to make the news. How would the US react if China set up bioweapon labs, such as that in Wuhan, in Mexico, or the US border? Maybe a better question would be, how SHOULD they react. Given what our lackluster, DEI preoccupied, DC politicians and military leaders are, they might not do as they should.
Also, do not forget the Ukraine is really a money laundering operation for most of the DC established. Cruz and Cornyn have lined their pockets by voting for "aid" to Ukraine.
Hey Ben, I know you’ve been told and probably even shown intel that Putin is the worst dude ever, but he’s just another actor playing a role. Just like Trump and every other political figure.
You seem like you’re either a badass who wants to follow Jesus, or maybe just a really dedicated shill. I want to believe you’re a badass.
God bless you and your house, and I pray that you seek the Kingdom of God above all other things.
"In other words, Trump is making Mexico and Canada pay to secure our borders."
Nope. The American consumer will pay for the tariff in terms of higher prices, but I'm ok with it. It's going to be a similar to the FAIR Tax that Herman Cain (and I think Huckabee) supported several years ago, except people can avoid the tax by buying American or from other countries. And it will only last until the scourge of Fentanyl ends. Our biggest import from Mexico is cars and car parts. The same goes for Canada. It's bold action for a huge problem. One of my nieces' died from a fentanyl OD 2 years ago - she was 37. I would have gladly paid more for the last car I bought if it spared her life. I think most people would agree with that.
Agree. My favorite cousin's son died 16 months ago from fentanyl at age 22. It should not be here. I'll bet there are many of us who love people who lost people and understand the need to pay more for a while.
My 40 yr old niece. She worked at a large CA trauma hosp. Bought it from her neighbor who brought it to her from SF to Oakland. She was dead 20 minutes after receipt at her door.... I pushed to investigate.... then had to do my own sleuthing. Turned out 24 people died that weekend from THAT tainted drug. The medics did work on her for an hour and 20 minutes... Hundreds of healthcare professionals turned out to meet her dad. Brilliant nurse until the "rec" drugs got her... Ugh. My brother died of a broken heart 3 yrs later.
Trump just sent me a birthday present. Two years ago my son died from a fentanyl overdose. It was rampant in our area and I think the police had PTSD from seeing young people dying and dead every day. It got so bad a local town had a meeting about how to combat it. Everyone knew it was coming over our open borders. I go to meetings for parents who have lost children and fully 1/3-1/2 of their children have died from fentanyl. This is one meeting in one town, think of the implications. Thank you, President Trump for addressing the problem and taking steps to stop it. God bless you. We must protect our children.
Jeff....I HOPE you read your comments.
I have contacted Robby Starbuck personally. I know he has a lot to do.
I am a veterinarian.....the DEI rot is rampant in our profession.
They just had a whole conference in Atlanta a couple weekends ago.
Our industry is already in trouble......someone needs to shine a bright light on this garbage.
Animals do not CARE about DEI, of that I can assure you.
The AVMA needs to back off of this nonsense.
Wow . Thanks for the info. I’m 58& remember pets living twice as long as they do now. Vax?
Interesting point which got me thinking. I had 2 indoor cats that lived 18 years. In the same amount of time my friend went through a countless number of cats. I often wondered what she was feeding them, but your right if was probably the vaccines. I've never had my cats vaccinated after I adopted them.
My cat is 20-1/2. Hasn’t been vaccinated since maybe 2 or 3 years old. Had a stroke 2 years ago and vet suggested euthanizing- I said let’s wait & see. I credit not vaxxing for her long life. BTW she is an indoor cat.
My cats were vaccinated once, when they were kittens, by the shelter from which I adopted them. At 11 years old, they're very healthy. I'm knocking on wood.
I had two cats in the past that were vaccinated against Feline Leukemia, then contracted FL a couple of years out. I found out afterward that my neighbor was feeding her FL-infected cat outdoors, and assumed that cat was the vector that infected my cats.
After the Covid jab and all the news that's come out since, I now wonder if all three cats had weakened immune systems against the very disease they were inoculated against..
💔💔💔 thinking of my last Kittehs and the cancer that took them out early. If only I knew them what I know now about Fenben & IVM ... 😥😥😥
Now I need to know about Fenben and IVM.
I lost my beautiful Siamese girl to a growth that formed in her chest cavity and pushed her lungs backward until she couldn't breathe any longer - actually, I had her put down before it got to that point. When the vet showed me her x-ray, I was amazed she lived as long as she had. It was heartbreaking.
I stopped taking our dog to all the crazy vet appointments... NO more shots, unless mandated for registration in CA- but I found a place that does not use aluminum or mercury in that shot
That crazy rule needs to change..........
Anybody have suggestions on making home-made cat food?
Cats are CARNIVORES - so high-quality meat of any cut or type - dehydrate it and your cat will go CRAZY with JOY!! Dehydrators are very inexpensive (ours cost me $69 on Amazon.com). Also high-quality veggies once in awhile - cabbage, kale or spinach are recommended as they are the "super veggies" to support immune systems in humans AND our pets.
The way I understand it is that cats eat meat, AND what is in the digestive systems of their prey. Since straight meat without any of the rest of the body of the prey (like some internal organs or its digestive contents) lacks certain nutrients, you have to add a small amount of them to the meat. Sounds like you are more resourceful than I am, but I admire your dedication to the best diet for the cats! My two cats are getting the best grain-free and supplemented wet and dry food I can provide, and I pray they are happy and healthy as they can be to the end.
I love the vegans who own cats and refuse to feed them meat! 😳
Yeah. That's just wrong. Domestic cats are little lions. Zoo keepers would never feed lions a vegetarian diet...
YouTube has lots. Here's one: https://youtu.be/m_0MJE4FtRQ?si=ZcpiySN1Q4RKVNJy
Thanks, Joanie! Doing research now...
It started me researching, too. I found this so helpful https://youtu.be/wkIhxYS_R9U?si=0WW5CMtIKTlqEh_z
and got the free cheat sheet then just now purchased her raw diet calculator. I've decided it's finally time to do much better for my beloved rescue dog than just kibble and canned food.
Hi, Joanie. Just watched both YT links to learn more about a good diet for my 2 cats. Thanks a bunch!
Veterinary nutritionist Dr. Lisa Pierson's site: catinfo.org
We've been using her recipe for 12 years. The Tasin grinder is no longer available, but she recommends Westin which is sold by Amazon.
yep, this appears to be the way to go: basically raw meat and bones ground yourself in a grinder, add in the right vitamins, freeze small portions.
Correct about freezing. When we had 4 cats, we made 15 lb (meat) batches every two weeks. Now with 2, it's about once a month which means containers don't get filled full as I don't want to buy smaller ones. Our food is at least 25% cooked, but if you're using human grade meat, I see nothing wrong with a totally raw diet.
25% cooked. hmm. What benefit is that? just a measure to kill any bacteria on the outside of the meat?
Yes, although a cat's digestive system is a lot faster than ours! So I think the bacteria fear porn is just that.
My husband says ours is closer to 50% cooked. When we first started using Pierson's recipe, she boiled everything, then later switched to baking b/c there is less nutrient loss and we pour the drippings in also. I rinse the chx thighs before I put it in the pans. We still lightly boil the chx livers.
I've read it's actually easier to grind frozen meat, but you would know better about that. My husband cuts the chx thighs into smaller pieces as it's easier on our grinder which people were saying lasted an average of 10 years. Ours has lasted 12.5 so far.
Hey Doug! This book helped our dog clear up skin issues (itching, rash) ALso has cat recipes. https://www.amazon.com/Beckers-Real-Food-Healthy-Dogs/dp/0982533152
Thank you for the suggestion! I'll check it out.
Peace back atcha!
Please buy quality cat food, my 21.5 year old has been fed Science Diet kibble his whole life and Fancy Feast canned. Cats must have taurine in their diet and will have heart problems without it. My guy loves Simply Potatoes with garlic, but he only gets a taste of that and eats his kibble and canned food as basic diet.
Is he fatter than normal? We have had to go away from Science diet as one of our two cats gets fat easily(female).
My cat is very healthy and he is unvaccinated.
I had an indoor cat live 19 years. She was completely traumatized after getting fixed so I never took her to the vet again.
My wife had an indoor/outdoor cat that lived to be 21 years old! She was an amazing creature!
I have a 12# dog that has seizures with no apparent link to any other factors. But the vet commented that seizures happen most frequently in small dogs. Now I’m remembering giving her more than one vaccine at a time when she was young. Geez there is SO MUCH to pay attention to in order to protect yourself and your family. But glad so many of us are FINALLY waking up.
There are holistic veterinarians out there. https://believebigpodcast.buzzsprout.com/1892370/episodes/16031215-83-dr-judy-jasek-integrative-holistic-veterinary-care
They make dog food
Out of dead dogs - dogs that have been euthanized therefore the chemical is in The food. That’s why so many dogs are having seizures. Feed them human leftovers like they did 100 years ago!
Our dogs seemed to have health problems unlike what we remembered occurring years ago. So, my wife decided the dog we have now will ONLY eat real food. It works, but it is a fair amount of work. Beef, venison, liver, vegetables, white rice, plenty of info on the web about making your own. Sophie is happy and healthy.
We make our own too, have for years. Finally settled on beef, carrots, peas, squash and small amount of rice, cooked with no salt or spices and no oils in a large batch then frozen and we also give each of them two gently fried (no oil) farm fresh eggs and a very good vitamin with probiotics and glucosamine a day. The miniature dachshund will be 17 in January and the doxy/pittie mix will be 4. Neither were over vaxxed just the basics and one update (which I regretted but no side effects) for the 17 year old about 7 years ago. Since we got rid of any and all kibble only about a year ago due to digestive issues I have not tried to wean him off of zonisamide (for seizures) but have tapered down the dose slowly over the last six months with no resulting seizures. Looking forward to getting him completely off of it!
I had a vet who thought peas were bad for dogs and today it's one of the top ingredients. He also did not like the flea/tick and heartworm combo treatment that was becoming popular in the early 2010's. He finally carried Comfortis and said to give the Heartguard a couple weeks later. He thought that was causing the problems [seizures]. He died March 2020 and it has been a huge challenge finding another vet. I'm on my 5th one! Nobody carries or will write a script for Comfortis and they only like the combo treatment. Plus only 2 out of the 5 would do the 3 yr rabies. Vet medicine has turned into a racket.
You also need a calcium source. Ground egg shell a rounded half teaspoon per pound of food is good. Keep the lining in the shell, that is good for the joints. I bake them for 10 minutes in the oven and let them cool. I have a dedicated coffee grinder that I grind the shells to a powder. The veggies need to be either frozen, cooked or ground to break down the cell walls so that they can utilize the nutrients. Freezing will cause the cell walls to burst(expanding water).
I do add the shells crushed up about once a week but my husband doesn’t think it’s a good. I just ignore him. 😂.
Don't have too many peas. Anything with pea in its name and soybeans are not good for the heart. Diet based DCM! They tried to blame it on lack of grains, but peas and friends were the replacement starch for grains. These items have protein, so they lowered the amount of animal protein in the formula, but plant based proteins are not readily digested, thus the % protein really isn't what it is on bags of kibble. Eggs, including raw eggs are the best source of digestible protein for dogs.
That's interesting about the peas ... Just thinking about my "step dog," Otto, a beautiful Doberman that I was blessed to know while married to his "father" ...we'd feed him kibble but mix in wet food that had peas in it. He'd finish EVERY BITE--except for the peas. How he could chew all that up and spit the peas out just amazed me! Untreated Heartworm took him out. 💔 RIP, Otto ... 💔
That must have been why my vet didn't like peas. He researched constantly on stuff. He agreed with you on the eggs being great protein for dogs. I will take 4 eggs and scramble slightly and store in fridge and my 15lb Chi/Russell will be in heaven the rest of the week. I just mix a spoon full with his wet food and dry and he's like a Dyson!
oh, so. . . he really hoovered it up then, heh?!
Yep he sucked it up!
Sophie is a miniature dachshund too! Our second, just had to have another. My wife feeds her eggs too, daily, and we're lucky to have neighborhood sources. She does all the same veggies as you. Also, sweet potatoes, and the Halloween pumpkins are good too - it's nice to make use of them..
Pumpkin is great for the vitamins and fiber and our vet recommends if the dog has diarrhea issues as a good fiber source. It’s such a shame how they are wasted over Halloween!
That’s great…but the meat should be raw.
I make mine too… I also add liver and seasonal veggies (right now, squash and zucchini).
Try to eliminate the rice, if you can.
My wife has researched this out the wazoo. We aren't normally big on grains, so I'm sure she's got a good reason for the rice, and why it should be white rice. Sophie gets some raw venison during and for a while after the butchering process, but otherwise all the meat is cooked. Why do you say no rice, and raw meat? We are open to different ideas.
Per my research, dogs lack sufficient amylase to digest carbs. Carbs can lead to pancreatitis. I feed bison, beef, turkey, lamb and venison. I use Better Bones by Four Leaf Rover for proper calcium/phosphorus. Raw bones are great, but mines a gulper and the nearest emergency vet is over an hour away. A sprig of lightly steamed broccoli each morning keeps her poo bulked up so she does not get anal gland issues.
Thanks for that feedback. Seems I've read cats are strictly carnivorous, but dogs are omnivores to a degree. I always remember my shepherd mix when I was a kid relishing the low-hanging wild persimmons every fall. Also subsequent dogs plucking an occasional veggie right out of the garden. Agree on the bones, we used to give them to our dogs, until we realized they're too valuable for bone broth for the humans in the family. I'm sure it would be a good idea to get Sophie some bones in her diet. She does very well on what she's getting right now though.
Yep we feed real food. It started because of allergies but even more compelled with all the cancer dogs get.
I use Meat Mixer from Dog Naturally Store.
“Meat Mixer makes homemade dog food easy. Just add ground protein, mix and serve!
This super premium base combines freeze-dried beef bones, organs, and organic veggies to offer your adult dog or puppy a balanced and natural meal.”
https://thenaturaldogstore.com/products/meat-mixer-base-mix-for-dogs
That sounds really interesting. Thanks.
Love all these ideas in this comment feed! We’re getting our first puppy soon and I’ve already realized - as a crunchy mom - I can’t just turn the crunchy off with a dog 😅 all God’s creatures in my home will eat the best I can provide. My husband is going to be like, “what the heck are you feeding her???” 😅 but really, he gets it, too.
Dr. Karen Becker (online) is a wonderful holistic veterinarian medical doctor and she works in tandem with Dr. Joseph Mercola (Dr. Becker is working on a new website, but here's a link to her latest blog: https://drkarenbecker.com/ ) Raw food is best but we dehydrate our Maltese's meat - storage issues are minimal that way. We freeze the dehydrated meat strips and get out just enough for that day's feeding and cut it into bite size pieces. It is time-consuming but well worth the effort as Colby is VERY perky for an 11 year dog (small dogs live longer than the "behemoth sized" ones....and I love the Maltese temperament and physical features!
Dr. Karen Becker's book was used with our doxie. Completely stopped his skin issues (itchy, rashes). Made big batches and froze back lots for future feedings. https://www.amazon.com/Beckers-Real-Food-Healthy-Dogs/dp/0982533152
Just fyi, you can buy an unvaccinated holistically raised puppy. Search online. The puppy can be delivered with a flight Nanny and you pick up at the airport.
Wow, I’m pleased to hear it! My hope is to home/hobby breed our dog (my mom did this, one litter a year, in our home while we were growing up; it was so special and they were such amazing family dogs after being socialized with kids from birth💕). I told my husband recently I don’t want to poison all the puppies we offer, so I’m excited there are other people out there looking for unpoisoned pups!
What kind of puppies were they?
Cocker spaniels. Later on they also bred cockapoos. (But that wasn’t really a thing when i was little, that i know of.) The cutest little pups. But now their three cocker spaniels are retired and living the life with my parents 😊
Just curious, do you have any specific starting places for researching this? When I search (on Brave browser no less) it just spits out page after page of why and when puppies need vaccinations 🙄
In the past I kept trying different searches like holistically raised or naturally raised. I forgot all the searches I tried, but eventually I found some breeders offering ehat I was looking for. Buttercup Puppies is the one I can tell you off-hand, but you would be limited to the specific breeds she offers.
Thanks for the starting point!
If you find more options, I would love to hear about them! We did just get an unvaccinated puppy from Buttercup Puppies and so far so good!
Well, hopefully in a year or two, I will be an option! I hope to sell cockapoos like my parents did at the end of their breeding career.
I did find Buttercup Puppies website - thanks for sharing that! I love how forthright the owner is about vaccination. That’s how I want to be!
The change in family pup after changing to meat based diet is nothing short of amazing. Like a puppy again, with a soft, shiny coat and stable weight.
“Food pets die for. Shocking facts about pet food” by Ann Martin is well worth reading. It’s really disgusting what goes into pet food. Euthanized dogs is bad enough but there’s much more.
After loosing 2 German shepherds, 4 yrs and one at 4 months, to lymphoma and a vax reaction, we make our own food now. Time consuming and pricey but worth it.
😭 we lost our sweet German shepherd when she was 10 years old, filled with cancer! Sweet Bissygirl....I’m sure now that vaxs, doctors’s visits, and yearly vax updates, and even the ‘best’ dry dog food on the market was the cause. Raw meat that we get now concerns me because of e-coli. Our doctor in NC started feeding her dogs raw meat and one almost died from e-coli poisoning. So we stayed away from that. But once that cancer starts, there’s no stopping it.
😪
Back before the we-todds got so much control, we used to kill crippled or sick horses in the U.S. and make them into dog food.
Now, all of them are shipped to Mexico as there is not one single processing plant left in the U.S. It’s harder on the horses that are being slaughtered, it has decimated the horse industry and all related industries (feed, supplies, tack, etc.) and has ruined the dog food, killing millions of dogs in the process.
Everything the left touches turned to 💩.
We-todds! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Porge, you asked me a question about DMSO. I cannot find that comment nor ability to reply so here goes. I am using DMSO externally around his spine, Lately various areas of jaw for bad teeth. Vet said something about internally[?] could cause red blood cell damage. Have not researched that. I began using on my neck from pain after TBI. Externally, so tried for his pain. Lately learned it has healing powers. Unsure details, sorry. Check here, much about DMSO. The Midwestern Doctor. Best to you and your pup. I have learned: with 70% gel, which I have- to dilute 50/50. Vet rec Vaseline, messy. Lately learned water ok. I use Berkey filtered water. First did not dilute, burned his skin. Must be sure hands impeccably clean as DMSO takes surrounding 'stuff' in as well. Dog fur? Unable to bathe, so....best able.
Thanks for reply char. I have seen article from Midwest doctor and Amanda Dawn Vollmer substack about DMSO. Amanda also self formulates DMSO for specific ailments. Looking into the eye drops for my cataract. Best to you and your pet!
Porge--I will find Amamda, thank you. One reason burned his skin was unable to find directions for longest time. Finally new vet for acupuncture who used DMSO on horses, explained. Still need to learn more. Lots. Sone, eyes recommended, yet am a coward. Best to you
Yes char, I'm a coward too, but I only have one good eye left and that's the one with cataract so that's why I'm looking at dmso instead of cataract surgery. I've had 2 unsuccessful surgeries on my bad eye. I'll keep you posted if I do it! Happy Thanksgiving!
A Dr. Berne was recommended on a health site I follow. He has videos? on how to avoid cataract surgery. Dr. Sam I believe. I did not get into it since I was convinced to have the surgery some years ago. Both eyes. However his MSM drops were so great....and then not. Problems with manufacturing with disastrous results. I am so sorry to hear about your unsuccessful surgeries. Wonder--holistic eye doc available? I regret the surgeries, yet done and now....some problems still. Yu might check him out for his preventive measures. Blessings wished on Thanksgiving, everyday. And yes, please let me know.
I lost my beloved pug 8 years ago and have not gotten another dog because I can’t afford the vet bills. She died at 10 of bone cancer, which started on the shoulder blade and moved into her spine. I have since learned that cancer on the shoulder is quite prevalent, possibly due to it being the vax injection site. I dutifully took her for jabs every time they told me she was due. How I would do things differently now. What do you all do about the rabies shot being required every two years?
Every 3 years actually. I did them, did not do bortadella unless boarding, which was only on a rare occasion. (not willingly; it is required)
The annoying thing is that they gave them the shot upon boarding, and I read that it doesn't take effect for some days, so basically they got them for nothing.
😢
Sadly, you are correct about the used of euthanized animals in many commercial pet food brands.
However, the answer is not to feed them leftovers, because human foods are almost all and always salted, which will shorten your dog's life and condemn it to kidney failure. It's a painful way to go.
Never feed salted food to your cats or dogs.
Preferably raw, species appropriate. And no vax. I also don’t use the flea and heart worm meds…
We use Ivermectin, Fenbendazole, and our holistic vet recommended a suppliment for heart worm which I will add as soon as I find the bottle. She said no pet she's seen has ever had heartworm since using it monthly during the season. We will not use the vaccine train.
Looking forward to supplement info. Problem with rabies is if your animal happens to bite or scratch someone (even inside pet might if you have visitor) I believe animal control can quarantine animal for longer period if non-vax.
Would you share what the supplement is or a link to it? I'm very interested in it.
Ivermectin is now a heartworm med!
Ummmm.....it always was a heartworm med. It's the original monthly heartworm med...
We've been feeding our 11 yr old doxie/beagle mix a raw organic diet for 3 years and she's healthy, lively and has THE shiniest soft coat! Before that we fed organic dehydrated patties. The company went out of business during covid and forced my daughter and me to do what we'd been talking about ....feeding raw. We're never going back. My niece raises cavapoos and golden doodles. She raises all the pups on raw once they're weaned. We haven't gotten vaxes since the initial puppy vaxes. If I had it to do over, I wouldn't even do those, knowing what I know now. The vets have become legalized drug pushers just like the medical doctors! P.S. Aldis sells organic hamburger fairly inexpensively.
Carnos has online raw frozen 2 lb chubs which I’ve begun ordering. Easy and fairly priced I think.
SPOT ON - I did a gig job for a year for the manufacturers of "Science Diet" (they were rolling out a new, 'natural' pet food). I started doing more research on my own after the job ended and would NEVER work for ANY commercial pet food mfr. again. This is GARBAGE marketed to death and packaged in 'attractive-wholesome' packaging--it is just like what they do to humans with VACCINES. It's DEATH packaged as a 'GOOD THING' - it's anything BUT good for our feline and canine furriends! Out pets ate better before the genesis of commercialized pet food when they ate the "leftovers" from human meals--truly!!
Soylent Green...😨😨😨
I feed my 16 + year old German shepherd vegan kibble and sometimes give him a cooked egg. He also gets several different types of veggies. 🥦 🥕 My other three dogs are vegan. Maggie has been vegan almost 9 years. She’s 13 now. My other pups have been vegan almost their entire life. They both had horrific allergies and other health issues when I got them as pups. They’re now healthy and happy. None of my dogs have fleas because they have a very healthy diet. They have a different meal at each meal. Variety is important for good health. I also give them supplements for gut health.
I take it you mean human food leftovers? :-)
YES!
Or a high-quality dog food
Was about to mention mad cow. Connection! Have read the horrors of dog foods but did not know about euthanized dogs being an ingredient along with dumpster garbage. Also learned any dry food is hard on the kidneys. made the switch, stopped all vax, Daschy now 19 years old. Even tho vet damaged his spine rupturing all the discs.... DMSO to the rescue there, helping lots.
Hi char, I've been treating my 15yo coonhound for spleen cancer with ivermectin and changing diet. Tried fenbendazole too but stomach issues occur with fenben. I've been researching DMSO. In what form and how are you administering? Thank you.
Injections (toxic and unnecessary), and horribly unhealthy pet ‘food’
I have been very conservative with vaccines and my little 5 pound fur baby. I also have never given her dog food because of her sensitive gut. She is now 14.
My previous dog was a sheltie. I was also conservative about vaccines. I did feed her dog food, but a high quality one, if I recall correctly. She passed at 13 or 14.
I grew up on a farm and my dog lived to be 20. He ate kitchen scraps and groundhogs.
The groundhogs were PURE TREASURE for your farm dog--raw meat in the wild!!
And asthma? A cat? A bunch of cats?
I've not lived with pets since the 70's. Helped each sister move into separate new houses recently. Both have several cats. Half the cats have asthma.
My first thought was... has the kitty cat vaccine requirement schedule expanded in a similar way the childhood school schedule has? If so... well, there you go. How many coincidences before coincidence is impossible?
As a kid, I never saw any pet have any chronic illness remotely similar to what humans endure (especially today). Can't be coincidence. Not buying it. Prove me wrong!
Vaxxes, flouridated water, gmo corn and crap food ingredients, what else?
Yes the vaxxes and the continual stream of rabies ’shots’, as well as ALL the bad commercial pet food (grain free and otherwise) , that they push at the vet practices and at the Petco’s, and Chewy.com, as well as online and the big box pet food sellers.
Yep, over-vaccination just like humans. Here's an interesting interview with a veterinary nutritionist whose homemade cat food recipe we've been making for 12 years. She talks about feline kidney failure and the connection to cell cultures the FRCVP vax is made with.
https://healthypets.mercola.com/sites/healthypets/archive/2018/03/06/cat-care-tips-for-kidney-disease.aspx (from Mercola.com)
could you offer the cat food recipe, please?
Happy to! catinfo.org is Dr. Lisa Pierson's site. We've been using it for 12 years. I commented above that the Tasin grinder we've used seems to be no longer available - but she switched to Westin's which is sold on Amazon. Hearing protection needed!
thanks for the link!
We are all set with a grinder; use one for grinding venison.
Thanks for the info / link!
Covid warrior Steve Kirsch, of the vaccine safety research foundation, was about to vaccinate a new puppy, and then realized that it could be as dangerous as the human shots. He called a veterinarian friend of his who told him that the veterinarians know even less about what is in the shots than human doctors do. Often the company says it is a proprietary formuladecided not to vaccinate his puppy. now there are some diseases that puppies are very vulnerable like Bordetella and one other disease that slips my mind right now. But I do think it might be advisable to keep the shots to a minimum. After puppyhood, I do rabies only, and will not even give that to an older dog.
Wouldn’t be surprised! 😡🤬
Yup
I had an Uncle who was a veterinarian. I hear that they are using them to push the mRNA crap on the animals, and that the vet schools have been infiltrated by these creeps.
My niece is in vet school and for Christmas i bought her a new book by Marcie Fallek called Little Miracles Everywhere: My Unorthodox Path to Holistic Veterinary Medicine, in collaboration with Children’s Health Defense.
Hopefully it will help balance her perspectives.
https://www.amazon.com/Little-Miracles-Everywhere-Unorthodox-Veterinary/dp/1510782028
I asked for this book for my birthday. Looking forward to reading it.
THANK YOU for this link - I will get that book for my oldest granddaughter who is aspiring to be a veterinarian once she graduates from H.S. (this coming year). Perhaps she will seriously consider this option - do you know about Dr. Karen Becker---she's my "go to" person when it comes to holistic veterinary medical advice. She and Dr. Mercola work in tandem with one another!
🙌 great idea Sharon! It’s also an entertaining and enjoyable read.
I have heard of Doc Becker! Used her info largely to evaluate different foods for my kitties. Super helpful.
Many zoos vaccinated their animals against Covid and the number of deaths is eye popping and sad. Mark Crispin Miller has articles about these poor animals.
I remember that a few weeks or months post-mRNA attack injections (you might call them "vaccines" but I will not) that famous zoo animals died suddenly. Strange coincidence, no?
How many coincidences before coincidence is impossible?
Never EVER saw a heart attack from anyone at work under 60 out of 100's of people every year for 3+ decades. Saw two in my small group of 35 in 6 months after the mandatory mRNA attack injections. Two more within the next year.
The truth is all around us if we seek it.
Madness ..sheet madness. 😫
It included some giraffes and bears as I recall. They died suddenly.
Yep. This has been going on in a sneaky, behind-the-scenes way for years now. Another huge revenue stream!
Remember that the mRNA vaccine for first tried on animals. Livestock, specifically. The chickens experienced temporary immunity from coronavirus. The next year, the coronavirus came raging back and destroyed the livestock of whole poultry farms. Sound familiar?
Marek’s disease. Look it up.
Friends of mine took dog to the vet for something . . . can't remember what . . . and were absolutely horrified when they were paying to see on the invoice a COVID-19 INJECTION. They went out of their minds, had a screaming match with the staff and the vet. Dog died of an aggressive cancer within six weeks. These are super-savvy people, I know they would have sued if they were so inclined, so I don't want to rub that wound by asking if they have considered a lawsuit.
Is mRNA in the dog vaccines required for boarding already?
May possibly be. I will no longer board my dog due to shot requirements. I also stopped taking my dog in for shots after 2020 due to all I was learning about shots for people and pets. My dog is 10 and about 3-4 years ago he developed partial seizures. I chose not to put him on medication and instead took him to a nutritionist. He is now eating home cooked meals and the partial seizures have stopped. And as someone said above, it is work to do home cooked meals. The preparing it is not so bad, it’s the dishes, pots and pans that is most time consuming. I thank my husband for doing most of them.
There is a new one by Merck that is labelled as RNA for flu. I won't buy it.
It's everywhere. Did you see the video of the Methodist conference several months back where people were introducing themselves? For example: 'I'm Lisa, a cis white woman. My pronouns are she/her.'. It's going to take time to undo the damage and go back to normal, but I think that is why the leftist media is still talking about how this cost them the election. They know it, and they will keep talking about it until these things disappear, imho. They don't want to lose again, and it'll be easy to create another "Democrats care about they/them, not you" commercial.
I love it when Elon says: “ my pronouns are prosecute Fauci”.
we should publicly INSIST that these kooks continue sharing these avowed introductions especially Politicians and "experts" who speak publicly and at meeting where minutes are taken...."let the RECORD SHOW that what's its face whose pronouns are Dumb A-s and Dip Sh-t spoke about such and so forth"
Also, if they are an Anti-Freedom Leftist and Leading the public meeting...."please sir/madam/bio-primate entity, I MUST INSIST that you issue a public vow of respectful apology and recognize the rightful displace aboriginal peoples upon whose land you are holding this event in order to not dishonor them nor show an appearance of superior rightful colonial occupation and institutionalized cultural superiority." Let them EAT their own haughty virtuosity and CONFESS their GUILT.
Assuming that was the United Methodist? And why my church left them along with many others.
I didn’t know anything about DEI in the veterinary profession … but what about animal vaccines?
Pets live longer without them.
I’ve quit giving my dog vaccines, but how do you deal with the rabies vaccine requirements where you live, or do you have them! I’ve stopped, but I hope to find a holistic vet if I ever need one and hopefully they will respect what I am doing. My dog is an inside dog and is with me whenever we are outside. We’ve never experienced any animals, wild or otherwise, with rabies. She eats organic meats, vegetables, farm raised eggs, and fruits that are safe for her. I’ve lived in the same neighborhood my whole life…almost 70 years! We found one old raccoon that died from old age over 10 years ago, but that was it.
I’d like to know too. I’m currently getting multiple calls and emails from the Vet on how our cat is Overdue. I don’t know how to deal with this. Ignoring for now, but …
Ignore the vet. There is no need to take a healthy animal to the vet. You are inviting them to find something each time you take them to these people and they will always have more shots to inject into your animal. "Wellness checkups" for humans or animals is a fool's errand.
I just stopped giving my 14 year old her 3 year rabies booster because we have her on a tight leash and she is old, but you could be in trouble if your dog bites someone. So Personally I did get the 3 year booster, with trepidation.
Only take them to the vet if they are sick. And when the question of updating the vaxes comes up just politely refuse.
How to deal with it? Ignore. Just because they send you reminders (sales pitches) doesn’t mean you have to respond.
I took my kittens to a nearby small town for getting them fixed. They got two shots, one of which was for rabies. The vet told me he had never known a cat to get rabies, but he had seen cats get the other virus. (The big city vet had said there would be four shots given. And her price for the neutering was four times what the country vet charged.). Kittens are in their third year now and we’ve not been to a vet since. Crazy cat lady across the street takes her felines to the vet all the time and they’re always sick. I think she has Münchausen Syndrome.
I know the city of Jacksonville tracks rabies vaccines for dogs and sends out notices yearly. I know because I had an old dog I took to the vet for information on wart removal. He was 14 years old and had only had one vaccination in his lifetime and that was as a puppy, who had a broken leg and of course the vet gave him a rabies shot.
The vet I consulted about the warts was astounded that he was 14. Her chart said he should have died at age 9. And she insisted on giving him a rabies shot. Told me it was legally required.
Well, one year later I got a letter from the City of Jacksonville telling me I had to get a new rabies shot for him, or return a form indicating that the dog was deceased or I no longer owned the dog. I didn’t want to jinx him by reporting him dead, so I reported that I didn’t own him any longer.
My present dog got rehomed to me by my son. So any vet records or ownership records are tied to him and this healthy dog has not seen a vet for many years and won’t see one unless she’s sick or injured.
My daughter made the observation years ago that my old dog who never went to the vet was doing just fine, while her dog, who got her recommended vet visits was developing issue after issue.
In regards to the warts, the vet would have removed them for about $1,500.
I got them off using something I think called Bloodroot that I got through Amazon. Probably $10 or so back then.
Penny has a granuloma on her front leg, benign, but I can’t do bloodroot because she would just lick it off. Not sure it can be taken internally? I’m trying a mushroom powder on her food now, but recently read about castor oil and might try that too. Will have to use a cone I guess.
Yes to Castor Oil!
I have the same issue. The county sent me notice (I think the vet reported us) and if we didn’t get our 4yr old King Charles Cavalier an updated rabies shot they would fine us $1000. We can’t and don’t want to pay that so I hesitantly took her in. It was her 2nd rabies shot. She’s 16lbs. Ugh. I have declined all other shots to their dismay. 😂 But I also have her on heart worm medicine and flea medicine because we have tons of mosquitos here in Florida. I checked our area for cases of heart worm and our county has a higher than “normal” amount of cases. So reluctantly I give her those two things. I looked into natural protectants and I just don’t have time to keep up on it all. I switched her to a raw diet and while she did great, lost weight which is what we were trying to do, she had digestive issues and acid reflux I think. She started to throw up on occasion. We introduced her to a probiotic and went to a freeze dried and lightly cooked mix. She’s gaining weight (not what she needs) but seems to have less digestive issues. She still will hack and throw up but way less than before on the raw diet.
It’s all so complicating sometimes. The nearest holistic vet I can find is 3 hours away so that’s not possible.
I was wondering what others do about the rabies requirement. Unless I can figure out the heartworm protection I can’t say we no longer have her. They require a blood test once a year for heart worm medication now. Ugh. It’s all such a racket!
I put FOOD GRADE bentonite clay in my pets’ food. It kills fleas and intestinal parasites. It seems to work really well.
I think getting away from the idea that only a vet can keep my pet healthy is key.
I’m sure a lot of finely bred animals are more fragile health wise. That’s why I’ll take a mutt any day.
Wow. Never heard of that. Thanks! I’ll look into that.
I’m wondering if diamatatious earth would work in the same way?
I’ve looked into that. Never heard anyone say to ingest it. Only to use it externally, but needing to reapply regularly and once it gets wet it has to be reapplied too.
It can absolutely be ingested. We give it to our livestock for intestinal parasites. I don’t think it would work for heartworms though, since they are blood born and d.e. is mechanical, not chemical.
I’ve heard of it being used externally, like spreading it in areas where fleas might breed. I haven’t researched anything about it being used internally. I’m just not familiar with it, but finding out should be easy.
Fenbendazole and Ivermectin purchased at Rural King in. Florida. Give once a month. "Temps have to be above 65° for 30 days to bring out mosquitoes with heartworm vector." Holistic vet we saw said she writes lots of letters to refuse vaccines...
Yes it is - I spend more taking my doggie boy to the vet than I do for my own doctor visits! I bought "pet health insurance" for my first rescue Maltese - what a racket that turned out to be. The insurance I used was give "4 stars" online but there was always a "caveat" or "loophole" they slipped through when I submitted high vet bills (it wouldn't cover any wellness visits and didn't cover "illness visits" either. With my present Maltese I decided "no pet insurance"!
LOL- cat lady probably does. I trust small town/country vets way more than the rest. But have you ever had your cats anal glands expressed.? The old codger [mid 70's] I'm using now is the first one I have ever had do that. So now I have 2 cats who now would probably rather be eaten by a coyote than go to the vet. LOL. Brutal.. Same thing when he checks their temp- I jokingly asked him recently if he could see the thermometer coming out his mouth. They don't like that either! But he has a DVM from Texas A&M and a MS from Colorado State and is one of 2 vets in my area with more formal dental training than the standard vet. Which at the time was what I needed. My long time vet having died March 2020 and it was a bitch finding a new vet and the covid protocol crap was beyond ridiculous. No more vaxs for my old dog and only sick visits for my cats if they being inside/outside get into a fight and I can't find and treat before abscess occurs. So far so good. I keep the Chlorhexidine spray handy for them and me.
A whole lesson on rabies here
https://vitalanimal.com/natural-animal-care-resources/
He also has a Substack
There was a video on FB of a vet who said you can get an exemption for rabies vax. The vax is only supposed to be given to a healthy animal. If there are any health issues you can ask for an exemption.
I would suggest finding a holistic vet now, before your dog might need one. They’re hard to get into, at least in my town.

I just bookmarked Dr. Judy's website and listened briefly to this podcast - it echoes so much of the information I gleaned from reading Dr. Karen Becker's weekly blog through Mr. Joseph Mecola's website. I do what I can for my rescue Maltese by feeding them "own made" whole food and very little 'medication' (Colby does get a weight appropriate dosage every month from April through November of the heartworm pill. Other than that - just the dehydrated meat, raw cabbage, dental sticks that are healthy and contain natural (ingredients include natural chicken flavor, Omega 3, peppermint, ginger, potato starch as a binder, cinnamon, chamomile, parsley, passion flower, lemon balm, chia seed, lavender essential oil. The brand is GET NAKED and the particular version I buy now is their "Calming Health" variety as Colby is a very anxious doggie boy - could be in his breeding...I rescued him, so I don't know his genetic history.
One needs to be quite conservative. If not, the vets will give them many each year. That is probably why many dogs were getting cancer at 6 and 7 years old. I think that people wisened up and vets backed off. I don't see them pushing them yearly like they did in the 90s.
Another huge cause of cancer in dogs is neutering and spaying. It is well documented.
Dr. Benjamin Hart of the University of California, Davis, has been researching the effects of spay-neuter for a decade, with support from the American Kennel Club Canine Health Foundation. His first paper on the subject, published in 2013, revealed that Golden Retrievers that had been spayed or neutered had a correlation of being three or four times more likely to develop certain cancers, including lymphosarcoma and hemangiosarcoma, and also more likely to develop joint problems such as hip dysplasia and damage to the cranial cruciate ligament. The team later published data on German Shepherd Dogs and Labrador Retrievers, finding that early spaying and neutering had varying effects on these dogs’ likelihood to develop joint disorders, cancers, and urinary incontinence.
https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0055937
"There were no cases of MCT mast cell tumor in intact females, but the occurrence was nearly 6 percent in late-neutered females." That's pretty serious, and that is just one condition that was studied. Zero cases in the non spayed.
There is no basis for assuming that the dogs seen at the hospital in our UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine are not representative of dogs of this breed in the general population, and as seen in private practices. In examining the records, we know that very few of the intact dogs were used in breeding. I have corresponded with the key leaders in the Golden Retriever Club regarding their information about dogs seen in private practices versus our UC Davis hospital, and they assured me that the dogs at both venues do not appear to differ in any aspect relative to our study. At our hospital, the diagnostic procedures for various diseases are standardized. This would not necessarily be the case if dogs from many private hospitals were used. Body condition scores (BCS), following standard hospital guidelines, and were not significantly related to which neutered dogs did, or did not get, a joint disorder. In general, while one may question the exact time frame used in the reference points for neutering dates and diagnoses, the same clinical diagnostic and statistical methodologies were applied to neutered and intact dogs alike; we report where we found significance.
Finally, and very important –as emphasized in our paper – every joint disorder and cancer where we found significant effects of neutering in one or both sexes, at one neutering age or another, has been already reported in at least one scientific journal to be significantly increased by neutering in studies that grouped breeds and neutering ages. We are not reporting anything new with regard to the diseases. In other words, there are no surprises in the disease effects we found. What our research does report, for the first time, is the occurrences of all of the diseases in one breed, as a function of sex and age at neutering. In addition to the scientific contributions, the long-term goal of our work is to offer those acquiring puppies some information so they can make informed choices with regard to the timing of neutering. The Golden Retriever is known for particular vulnerability to joint diseases and cancers; we fully expect to find differences among breeds with regard to specific diseases affected by various parameters of neutering.

A scientific analysis published in Veterinary and Comparative Oncology using Golden Retriever Lifetime Study data notes a potential correlation between canine sterilization and hemangiosarcoma development.
Hemangiosarcoma is the most common cancer diagnosed in the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study cohort. It is a particularly deadly cancer, with roughly 90% of dogs dead within one year of diagnosis. Few dogs survive longer than two years, even with aggressive therapy.

UC Davis Vet page is where I learned of foods for Canone Kidney Disease. Truly saved my dog. When vet /vet sites recommended all the wrong foods.
Yes, I've heard this too, but hard not to do with so many unwanted cats and dogs.
I have always done it and do not regret it.
I have read in several essays that in EUROPE the pet owners do NOT neuter or spay their dogs and cats. They know better than we "Yanks" do, I guess! They just keep their pets INDOORS and away from the 'bitches' who are in heat.
They like eggs and mine has always liked tuna as well.
❤️
Very limited and followed by yearly vaccine titers.
OK....let me clarify.
I do vaccinate. I do so judiciously. Rabies is real. I have seen it. Rabies kills tens of thousands of humans in places where animal rabies vaxx is not widespread. The thing that is so infuriating about COVID is that it was so corrupt and now people are throwing out the baby with the bathwater. I don't agree with OVER vaccination....but I do agree with judicious vaccination. I also think that the total health of the animal includes more than just vaccinations....unfortunately, so many people have been conditioned to think 'shots' are always indicated as part of a healthy plan. They are NOT.
Unfortunately, cats are VERY reactive animals. I had a patient that developed a tumor at the site of a fractured bone. Cats are well known to develop tumors in response to ANY injection, not just vaccines. We used to call these tumors vaccine associated sarcomas. Now we just call them injection site sarcomas. It is a REAL problem, but not common. Certain breeds are also more likely to develop cancers...purebreds mostly.
I am not now, nor never will be, an advocate for total lack of vaccinations. I think we need to evaluate the need for certain vaccines and do more study on efficacy, however. I DO think many vets vaccinate too often. Many owners now go to these 'shot clinics' because they are cheap and don't even know how often they are injecting their pets. Most vaccinations last far longer than the recommended frequency....Distemper, for example, most 'experts(God I hate that word)' agree that that one lasts at least 7 years, maybe longer. But the manufacturers put everything in one shot to make it more convenient.
I have been trying, in vain, to speak with veterinary oncologists about the usefulness of Fenbendazole and ivermectin as chemotherapy agents. They do not want to discuss it, period. They shut you down immediately....for this reason, I have no dosing recommendations to go by.
Ivermectin CAN be toxic in too high a dose......so, it would be really nice if one of these 'specialists' would take and interest to see if it's feasible or not. The problem is that each species has different ways of metabolizing these drugs, thus resulting in differing blood and tissue concentrations at the same dosing.....so, it's the wilderness.
I have a couple of patients I have tried these novel type chemos on......letting them know in advance that I have no idea if it will work, but I know that at the doses I recommend, no harm will be done. It will be interesting to see what comes of it.
When I speak with the oncologists, they are very condescending and treat me like I am not even a doctor.....because THAT'S helpful.
So....yes, I am 'one of you,' but also still 'one of them.'
I guess I'm bi-vaccinal.....bahahaha
I was truly blessed today to receive a response email from Dr. William Makis. My 10 year old, pampered, spoiled & super sweet Kitty developed a Mast Cell Tumor on his left ear. We (home Vet included) were monitoring it for months, but after scratching & itching started breaking his skin & causing hair loss, we had it aspirated. Hard to stage or get a good prognosis without invasive full ear removal, biopsy of lymph nodes, maybe chemo &/or radiation treatments, etc. We declined that route. This kitty would also rather a coyote attack, over a car trip to a vet! One week of antihistamines were enough for him. It was pure hell getting that awful “flavored” med forced down his throat, 3 times @ day. He became so sedated & fearful of me. Quit on Sunday & then he stopped eating, tiny amount of water, sleeping all the time… Dr. Makis suggested a full 12mg of Iver & 222mg of FenBen, for a 10lbs kitty! We could only get 1/2 of that amount into him today. Split between two syringes, crushed up with water… It’s our Hail Mary for sweet Andy. Or we will be letting him go peacefully.. I WILL NOT TRAUMATIZE HIM, to get a few more months of this sweetie in our lives. Prayers are appreciated.. 😔🙏
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😿😿😿💚💚💚
Please don’t give cat iver.

Why??? That link provided took me back to a thread I’m already involved in. No stats, details or advice. Dr. Makis disagrees. Do you know who he is??
Thank you for pursuing this. I am an almost retired veterinary surgeon and old enough to not pay dues and am so sad to see the changes like this in our profession. Corporate overtake? They do like to follow the $$$ and years ago my financial advisor told me "you guys are recession proof". Yes I was shocked when I saw the ad for the Atlanta conference :(((((((
I said something on FaceBook about the ad and was immediately attacked by one of my horse friends( a very liberal group on the East Coast). She tried to lecture me about how important that it was to understand the culture of people who don't care for their animals properly. I said culture does not matter. Tell them what's right and make it clear. I don't care what you look like or where you come from, fleas are bad. Neglect is not cultural, it's neglect. I don't give people a pass for bad behavior, ever.
I wanted to go, just to stir up shit....but my husband wouldn't let me....he knows how I am. I did go to a DEI talk at a GVMA conference....did you know that AVMA has a link to donate to BLM? Yeah....not happy about THAT. Who knows how much of our dues have gone to that as well.
I just hope Robby has time to dig into the AVMA....pretty sure a bunch of the corporate practices are all in on DEI as well..
WHoa ! Now I do wonder about our dues have been up to which is now in my rear view mirror. BLM !!!YIKES Will be educating more of my colleagues The tide will turn!
I believe soon the acronym DEI will DIE. The avalanche has started to roll.
Colin Wright wrote about the new study on DEI:
The evidence presented in these studies reveals that while purporting to combat bias, some anti-oppressive DEI narratives can engender a hostile attribution bias and heighten racial suspicion, prejudicial attitudes, authoritarian policing, and support for punitive behaviors in the absence of evidence for a transgression deserving punishment. Although not addressed in the studies reported herein, it is also possible that these factors are mutually reinforcing and spread through social contagion. Our findings raise this possibility which we offer here in the form of a post-hoc process model (to be investigated in futurestudies ):
1. Anti-Oppressive Intervention: DEI training rooted in anti-oppressive rhetoric introduces
narratives that lead people to assume that certain groups are inherent oppressors and others
as inherent victims.
2. Increased Racial Suspicion: Exposure leads to hostile attribution bias, causing participants
to see discrimination when there is no evidence that discrimination has occurred, driving racial
prejudice, intergroup hostility, suspicion and division.
3. Authoritarian Policing: This heightened suspicion triggers authoritarian policing tendencies,
leading people to endorse surveillance and purity testing, strict social controls, and escalating
responses from corrective to coercive.
4. Punitive Retribution: Participants show greater support for extreme punitive measures
against perceived oppressors as well as those seen as ideologically impure.
5. Calls for More Interventions: The heightened punitive atmosphere feeds back into demands
for more anti-oppressive DEI training, creating a self-reinforcing cycle of suspicion and
intolerance.

I’ll share an old story about dei. It’s not new. Back when I worked at the largest chemical factory in the world, the powers that were decided they had been treating the negro race unfairly for decades. This at a time where I was, that it was easier to get a job if you were a particular hue and sex. So the kompany came out with this great idea. Let’s give every employee of hue, 27,000 dollars. This is back in the early 90’s I believe. It was an apology for past racism, or something. Well had you worked at this Kompany, you would know that the representation for those of hue, versus the percentage in the general population, was entirely askew, favoring those with hue. Well the one thing that certain sexes of certain hues are good at, is gloating. They gloated themselves right into a damn near race riot. Waving checks in white peoples faces, especially the white guys that built that Kompany. It got rather ugly, really fast. Naturally the media covered it up, because back then, our city was diverse to the nth degree. Actually it wasn’t, it was run totally by those of hue. And a ton of fat greasy woman of hue. Couple of them are currently in the pokey, go figure, but that was the northeast’s attempt at dei. It worked. You go back to that shithole and you won’t recognize it as the same place. I escaped going on fourteen years now. I’ll never go back. Apparently the suburbs that used to be rather upscale, are deid to death. And that, my friends, of all hues, is how the democrat plantation works. A once vibrant, wealthy city, reduced to Detroit.
I love it! The hue and the kompany!
So basically DEI is an Academic Process and Study on Implementation of CULT policies upon a wider society for the benefits of the CULT Leadership to achieve desired outcomes amongst the human resources at their disposal.
DEI for the USA set in context of Constitutional-Founder Bashing, White-Christian Shaming, erasure of merit based systems, a dilution of integrity and Justifying Authoritarian Partiality to undermine fairness in the FAKED interest of righting wrongs perpetrated against historically underserved communities. So just a concealed, academically legitimized Power and Economic Shift for Progressive Leftists' Revolution to pit races, religions, classes, genders, whatever against each other so that the self-coronated Referees of ever MORE intrusion, control, and social engineering may amass ever more power over individuals, families, corporations, departments of all levels of government, and all societal institutions.
Could you go into a little detail as to how DEI is impacting the profession?
Yes. I’d also like details. It’s not clear.
That is disgusting. So many vets have also been taken by big pharma too. We don’t feed kibble and haven’t vaccinated in 5 yrs now!
I hope you all are vetting animal VAXES more carefully these days. because many of us are avoiiding the vet over dog deaths
It's a shame that you have lumped all vets together.
I get it, I really do, but we are not all the same.
Oh yeah, the pet industry needs a Czar. Trump isn't much of an animal lover, but someone needs to be put in charge of the small animal industry. Billion dollar industry and they are killing our pets. It makes me sick.
The Practice of Veterinary Medicine in the US is as awful as the Medical Industrial Healthcare Delivery System, pushing all manner of unnecessary ‘vaccines and boosters, and expensive ‘treatments, that do little to sustain an animal’s health.
This practice of unnecessary vaccines and ‘specialized treatments’ is just one GIANT revenue generating stream for the vet practice.
I battled with them for 16 years with my Australian Cattle Dog. Do vets ever mention that once an animal gets its initial ‘vaccines’ that in lieu of continuing to poison the crap out of them with ‘annual boosters’, you can blood titer test them for antibody levels? If they are high there is no need to booster them. That would be a NO. I had to find out about it on my own.
I never gave my Cattle Dog anymore ‘shots’ after her initial ‘puppy shots’! And I stopped the rabies vaccines as well. And she lived to be 16 years old!
The profession also is doing the facial recognition work, as well. Have you signed up for a conference lately? They want a photo, that is basically the same as a passport photo. They do not use it on the placard that goes in the lanyard, so it isn't for ID at the conference. It is all for the tracking, and giving the info to Big Brother.
Why anyone is a member of AVMA, (or AMA for that matter), is beyond me. They've been nothing but a shill for government for decades. But they sure like those dues.
I am only an AVMA member for the professional liability insurance. It's really good. Other than that, they are useless.
I have never gone to an AVMA convention. Were they to ask me for a picture, I would decline.
They also sent packets to people at the end of 2021 to have them RECOMMEND the COVID vaxx to their clients. That is absolutely illegal. Pretty big uproar about that.....but amazing how many vets jumped on board and said they would absolutely practice human medicine without a license and recommend that garbage. Unfortunately, the veterinary profession is to a large extent very liberal.......a bunch of cray cray liberal white women. I am a middle of the road white woman....who is sick and tired of having these idiots represent my demographic. It's so tiring.
Vet med is in trouble. The people in charge want us to go full corporate.......I'm 60, so I am glad I had the chance to actually practice with sanity....the new grads will be lucky to ever experience that.
Yesterday I removed a mass for $500. It took less than 20 minutes including prep. They came to me because another clinic quoted them $6,000......utter insanity.
Are you in Atlanta? Where is your office located?
I am in Conyers.
Hospitals are just as bad!! Every doctor/nurse/tech has to do DEI training every year! Makes me want to 🤮. Thankfully I’m in Texas where we are not required to have our preferred pro nouns on our badges like in liberal states.
Not just DEI but worse, greed. Greed has taken over to care of ANIMALS. I can tell you I love my animals so, so much but not to their detriment or to the detriment of our family's finances.
On these sketchy Trump picks... I have patience.
People can change.
Here's Pam Bondi campaigning at a !Jeb! rally in 2016.
https://twitter.com/mtracey/status/1859809282478559567
Of course JD Vance was also a never-Trumper.
Also Trump supported Hiltery in 2008.
Elon, Tulsi, RFK Jr, even Trump were Dems at one point...
When I look back at my own life and see how my perspectives have evolved (not just politically, but in lots of areas), I know that everyone can, and should, change as they get older and have more life experiences. Therefore, I am also giving Trump’s picks the benefit of the doubt… for now. I reserve the right to have a poor opinion of their performance once in office, though. We’ll see what they do.
This should ALWAYS be Our Policy as Americans...Never Trust and Continually Verify.
These people operate at a different level and scale than a typical voter...we must be watchful and wary of Every Single One of them and Loudly take them to task when needed but also have their back when they are unjustly targeted by Leftists and Media Muckrakers.
I preach this same idea to my local Rep Party...we must ACTIVELY support in every way good candidates (if available) but even then let them know we are THE Lobbying group for the voters who put them in position. The Precinct Committee (based on local Caucus/Assembly participation) holds THIS power FAR more than the Executive Committee even and we NEED to wield it.
100% on target. It was one of Reagan's best lessons that can be applied to ALL aspects of life, especially with these picks.
Agreed
I hope he will fire anyone who is a problem!
Good points. I hesitate to stretch this analogy, but maybe Bessent’s “association” with Soros has elements of Gov Abbot’s “association” with the WEF and Christ’s “association” with satan. Knowing your enemy is a strength. I have a problem with Bessent making money for Soros, but he was hired to manage money, presumably not to strictly employ or promote the Soros ethos. Surely, he can do one without the other.
I’m loath to disagree with Elon, but I seriously doubt Soros hired Bessent to bankrupt Soros. The diversity of Trump’s nominees reflects compartmentalized expertise (immune to bafflement, I hope). If Bessent has a Soros bent toward abusing consumers, Trump’s broader policies should keep him in check. Without more specifically incriminating evidence against the man, I’ll take a wait-and-see approach.
Yes! Also, I think it’s really depressing and self-defeating to just be fighting boogeymen that haven’t even done anything yet. Let Trump have his picks, give them a chance to show us what they can do with his agenda.
I agree! Not to mention it’s a waste of energy!
Exactly. And it even says in the Bible not to borrow tomorrow’s problems today.
Amen to that!
Heck, I was a registered Democrat until a few years ago & I guess I wouldn't trust me either. But I still worked hard on the Recall Newsom campaign here in CA in 2020 & the RFK Jr. for President over the last year & a half. Some of us are late to the party.
Welcome aboard!
Thank you for your valuable service to rid us of Gruesome Newsom, and to elevate RFK Jr. We need millions more like you. ✌️🤎🇺🇸
Millions. and God forbid a Kamala governor!
NewScum... I bailed on Colorado Dem Party in 1992, Not Republican til 1995 and not because they're so great that's for sure...just less competent of 2 Evils i suppose. And proven out that Dems are the More EVIL group and worldview without any doubt...a Benevolent and manipulative conniving and convincing Evil from top to bottom in my State. They are elitist, disingenuous, power mad, greedy, liars and anti-christers who delve in every form of lie, perversion, fraud and corruption on behalf of the moronic masses. Not that i blame them, they aspire to Fundamentally Transform ALL of society from the womb to the tomb.
One of the lessons my Dad taught me when I was a child that there are two parallel trains going down the track towards a cliff, and one is going 40 mph (the Republican train) and one is going at 140 mph (the Demoncrat train). It is better to be on the one going 40 mph because at least we would have a chance to slow it down, possibly change course or as a last resort, jump off and survive. I have been a constitutional conversative Republican my entire life.
But that doesn't mean that I haven't grown in my understanding of the rot on the inside (RINOs, globalists, forever war lunatics like the Cheney's, Bushes, Romney's, McConnell's, et. al.). Thank God for Ron Paul, Rand Paul, and now President Trump and his team of warriors. For the DOGE, I pray that they look at the Constitution and then at a program or agency and ask the question: Does the Constitution authorize it? and if not, just get rid of it. 50 to 75% would be gone.
Gary - I agree.
Welcome aboard Doug!!
LOL. welcome
to the party. And Ca friend. 🥳
Trump's surgeon general supported covid vaccines, masks, and lockdowns. She's even in one of those cringe inducing videos with dancing nurses.
Surgeon General is a figurehead position, it has no real power. Look instead at those with actual authority in the new cabinet, RFK Jr (HHS), Makarty (FDA), and Weldon (CDC). All three of these guys are hated by pharma and the medical establishment.
You guys need to give Trump some credit, just perhaps he's smarter than you.
The new *figurehead* Surgeon General was likely nominated for three reasons:
1) She's pretty hot and very easy on the eyes (important)
2) She has a television background and understands the medium
3) For whatever reason (that we have zero insight into) Trump thinks she'll stay on the reservation.
He put bulldogs hated by all the right people into the power positions. He put a hot babe into the figurehead position that the public sees. The guy isn't insanely rich, living in a mansion with gold plated toilets, and surrounded by beautiful women due to luck. He's actually a smart guy and has done far more with his life than *any* of the constant complainers on here.
Yes, Yes, Yes, and Yes.... did I say Yes!
I think the uniparty, and never trumpers are already hard at work trying to undercut him before he even gets started. I'd say fuck them all, only I told a woman on here who had chastised me previously for using the "F", I'd try to do better, so I will just say "F" them all instead.
That's a strong argument, Jeff C. In Trump World, policy and promotion are two different animals. Trump's SG just might be mindless enough to promote whatever she's told to promote, talented and attractive enough to sell it well.
How many times did Trump go bankrupt? He's not a genius like so many here want to believe. He got rolled by the permanent state last time. He still brags about the bioweapon. But we are bad for pointing this out. We should ignore these glaring problems because you think he is amazing.....if everyone thought like you, nobody would be pushing him to do better. That is a problem.
Is it possible you might have filed for bankruptcy once or twice making profoundly big decisions. Not everything goes picture perfect, sometimes you make a decision which doesn't work. Bankruptcy is a law which is used everywhere by businesses of all sizes - and if they didn't it was probably because they were cheating or using yours and my taxpayers dollars as their "capital" while giving kickbacks to the scum in DC. You live and you learn. Look at the portfolio the man has put together. Banks are at his beckon call. Regarding the bullshit case in NYC, Deutsch Bank said he did NOTHING wrong and they'd gladly do business with him again as he paid off his debt on time and made them a lot of money. I love all the people who live in glass houses throwing rocks. Throw rocks at the outgoing criminals who have willfully and intentionally caused disaster after disaster for not only the USA but the world. Trump is going to do great things for the country and he is picking people, who may have some warts from their past, which they too have learned from.... just like Trump, you, and me.
Johnny-O,
So many people believe that if you’re financially wealthy, somehow you’re smarter and better than everyone else. Some philosophers would disagree. However, one must give him credit for his accomplishments. He may have gone bankrupt, but he recently raised 500 million dollars. That’s no easy accomplishment.
Trump is a flawed, egotistical person that married a woman young enough to be his daughter. She must shudder at the thought of his touch when night comes.
Trump will never admit that the shots are deadly or have harmed many. He wants people around him that support his point of view. I don’t see his Surgeon General as a “hot babe.” I see her as someone that shared Trump’s opinion about the shots.
I think Trump will do many good things as president, but I don’t see him as a demigod. He’s wonderful at manipulating people. He’s like a pied piper.
I think she could leave in a heart beat if she wanted to, she is a beautiful, successful woman on her own. She could probably have anyone she wants (I volunteer), yet she stays happily with DJT. He has grown a family who loves him and an immensely successful business from the bottom up. And now he wants to give back to the country which enabled him to do so well. Let him do his work and be glad he is doing it for you and for me, and for all of us.
Daniel L,
Of course she could leave him, but she doesn’t want to give up the lifestyle that Trump, an obese man old enough to be her father, can give her 🤣😂🤣
You don’t know if their marriage is a happy one. But I’m pretty sure since she is slender and beautiful, Trump’s touch on her body isn’t something she truly enjoys. It’s only natural that she would want someone more youthful and physically fit. However, they don’t have the financial wherewithal that he has.
Or perhaps she is not the gold digger and superficial person you appear to be. You make a ton of assumptions and accusations w/o providing verifiable facts. She has her own wealth and could also divorce and get a nice settlement, but hasn't done any of it.
I think someone is just jealous Sarah.
Daniel,
🤣😂🤣 If you think a woman wants to sleep with a fat, unattractive man old enough to be her father then you are delusional. You probably have a very young girlfriend. 🤣😂🤣
Also, I never said Melania was superficial. She probably is compatible with Trump in many other ways. Melania also just wanted an ultra-luxury lifestyle. I see nothing wrong with that. Many pretty Asian women married American military men to escape poverty. I don’t see anything wrong with that and know some are genuinely nice women. However, their husbands are generally unattractive
Tiger’s interracial relationship with Elin was different. They were both around the same age, attractive and both were physically fit. Trump has also cheated on all of his wives. So your argument falls flat.
I’m glad Trump won. However, so many (including you) have romanticized Trump. I look at him through a pragmatic lens. Because of Trump, millions of people have died or become permanently disabled. The survivors will never hear an apology from Trump.
I didn't say Melania was superficial, I said you are Sarah.
Thank you for admitting that Elin didn't care that woods had it all and still dumped him.
When did Trump cheat on Melania? Be careful, do your research.
You want to think I have romanticized Trump but again you are making an assumption without having facts or a clue. Trump is on a mission for the American people and people like you who want to try and take him down because of your own inadequacies and jealousy just need to shush and let him do his work. He was doing great things for the country in his first term, before they ended his first term with a coup d'etat and he will do even greater things in his second term.
A woman in love, who is truly loved/adored by her man is wonderfully capable of returning love in so many ways. You seem to not understand that, how many times have you been divorced?
One other thing to share with you. An example. Tiger Woods and Elin Nordgren. Tiger, young, handsome, worth a billion dollars easy. #1 golfer in the world. Elin, stunning gorgeous and actually loved Tiger. But Tiger couldn't keep his schlong in his pants and Elin said see ya and took about .3 billion with her. Had it all except the loving devoted man she wanted, and deserved. I'm sure you can make the comparison to DJT and Melania without me spelling it out. The great thing about women not born in nor socialized in the United States - having lived abroad in many countries for a good part of my adult life, I can speak with some knowledge - is they still believe in more than just fleeting looks and so-so sex (instead of lovemaking) and moving on to the next loser and the next loser, etc, or becoming "white supremacist lefty lesbians" with two last names and a Post Hole Digger (PHD) on grooming/trans'ing 2 yr old kids from Academia.
Daniel Donkey,
You’ve got Donald Trump derangement syndrome bad. 🤣😂🤣 Call me any names you like, but do your research. You know me not. I’m not preventing him from doing anything with my little comments.
As I said, your Tiger argument falls flat. They are different people and couples with different life experiences. One cannot compare the two. Many women stay in abusive relationships. Does that mean Melania is in an abusive relationship? All it means is different couples stay together for different reasons.
Anyhow,I’m done talking to you. See reason below:
Fable: DON'T ARGUE WITH “DONKEYS”
The donkey said to the tiger: - "The grass is blue".
The tiger replied: - "No, the grass is green."
The discussion heated up, and the two decided to submit to arbitration, and for this they went before the lion, the King of the Jungle.
Already before reaching the forest clearing, where the lion was sitting on his throne, the donkey began to shout:
- "His Highness, is it true that the grass is blue?".
The lion replied: - "True, the grass is blue."
The donkey hurried and continued: - "The tiger disagrees with me and contradicts and annoys me, please punish him."
The king then declared: - "The tiger will be punished with 5 years of silence."
The donkey jumped cheerfully and went on his way, content and repeating: - "The Grass Is Blue"
The tiger accepted his punishment, but sentencing before he asked the lion: - "Your Majesty, why have you punished me?, after all, the grass is green."
The lion replied: - "In fact, the grass is green."
The tiger asked: - "So why are you punishing me?".
The lion replied: - "That has nothing to do with the question of whether the grass is blue or green.
The punishment is because it is not possible for a brave and intelligent creature like you to waste time arguing with a donkey, and on top of that come and bother me with that question."
The worst waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who does not care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions. Never waste time on arguments that don't make sense...
There are people who, no matter how much evidence and evidence we present to them, are not in the capacity to understand, and others are blinded by ego, hatred and resentment, and all they want is to be right even if they are not.
When ignorance screams, intelligence is silent. Your peace and quiet are worth more. ❤️
One of us is deranged and it aint me.
Your "little comments" lack merit, so they get called out.
re: As I said, your Tiger argument falls flat. They are different people and couples with different life experiences. One cannot compare the two. Many women stay in abusive relationships. Does that mean Melania is in an abusive relationship? All it means is different couples stay together for different reasons.
Strawman full of bovine excrement. Tiger's couple didn't stay together, Melania's has and is still today strong and together.
Jealousy doesn't serve you well, makes you blinded to reality.
Daniel 🫏 💩
🤣😂🤣 You’re a joke and a loser. Please stop bothering me.
There are plenty of positive things about Trump. I just get annoyed when people act like he is some genius and built all of his own wealth. He inherited wealth, which enabled him to build it. Building a business is much easier when you already have capital. In fact, its nearly impossible to do if you don't, especially these days....
Thanks for your thoughts Sarah Anne!
By the same token though, just because you inherit wealth doesn’t mean you keep it. There are many stories of people who squandered what they inherited with foolish extravagant spending and poor management of that inherited wealth.
Agree RL, and I would add "inheriting wealth" is Rockefeller or Walton type wealth, not the million or so Trump turned into billions.
LOL. I cannot love this more. Fantastic insight. I’ve been waiting for Jeff Childers to comment on her.
She's terrible. We can't win them all. But I'm mainly referring to the general trends that these people do change over time. Is the Treasury Secretary pick that Jeff mentioned going to be a dud? Who knows.
It's easy to doom post so I'm trying to avoid that...
The war isn’t over, just getting started. I say we pray hard and frequently for God to work in this process of personnel selection, that Trump become aware of any traitors and poor selections (and dismiss or walk them back) sooner rather than later, and that any nefarious individuals or plots be fully exposed and dealt with. I pray a lot for Trump’s safety, wisdom, and integrity.
Good take. I'm with Jeff on this one - we need to give it time to play out. And of course we cannot win them all. It's politics and it's life. The other side has people and money, too. They have cards to play and they play them (Gaetz, eg).
These people being selected also don't have to change. They just have to do their jobs or be fired. Most of them are just figurehead politicians who will say/do what they are told or bend whichever way the wind blows. Most in politics are not principled people.
The ultimate goal is to convince others to join your side in order to create a more lasting political realignment. To win people over. Which means selecting some people the other side will find palatable to deliver your message and enact your policies (e.g., this SG pick everyone - except apparently RFK - hates). See also: RFK Jr. Not exactly a conservative's ideal partner. You can't effectively persuade the whole of the country with a small group of people that nearly half the country dislikes and distrusts.
FWIW, it looks to me like they are prioritizing some fights over others, which is going to upset many on our side. The regulatory, budget, and economic issues are clearly their top priority. Which probably makes sense b/c that is pretty dire. We have dozens of Ponzi schemes about to blow up due to demographic issues. And regulations are strangling our small and mid-size businesses. The medical freedom stuff will take more time to undo, as it's been 100 years in the making and well over half the country are fully propagandized. And the thing I personally want to most see happen - dismantling the CIA/FBI - probably isn't going to happen in Trump's term. Just reality.
RU - I especially like your last paragraph. The bloated corrupt bureaucracy has been expanding for decades, and cannot be taken down in one year. Like you mentioned, the medical establishment is deeply entrenched, and backed by propaganda and Big Pharma. But taking decisive actions will begin a process that cannot be stopped. And there really needs to be a chainsaw taken to the FBI and CIA asap.
Lots of great insights RU! Nice post!
💙💙💙
If the economy is humming everything works better and if we get tax breaks we have more to spend. if the cost of energy goes down the price of EVERYTHING IS CHEAPER.
So all good. "Its the economy, stupid!"
CIA/FBI/"INTEL COMMUNITY" IS NOT going to get dismantled but can get seriously reformed and a lot of people held accountable.
Trump sees it all and has the where with all and incentive - after what they've done to him, his family, associates - to take them down. And with Matt Gaetz as special prosecutor, there's going to be a lot of taking down happening, its a target rich environment.
People may change over time. But does their level of intelligence change? I don't see how anyone who wasn't either evil or downright stupid could have ever thought the jabs were a good idea except possibly for those at the highest levels of vulnerability to COVID. So, that includes the SG pick, and by that standard, Trump himself, much as I hate to say it. It was all blazing red flags all over the place. We were old enough to qualify for the first round, but OF COURSE never remotely considered getting jabbed. Turns out they did more harm than good for every demographic, even the old and sick. I only have faith in those who saw through it from the beginning. Anyone who didn't is sorely lacking.
Trump TRUSTED the DEEPSTATE and Swamp too much. Bluster and Arrogance not as powerful as Belief and Intuition
Bluster and arrogance not as good, agreed. But they're pretty powerful, given the human attraction to "strong", "leadership" qualities. Intelligence and insightfulness don't sell nearly as well to most.
but WHY CANT WE "WIN THEM ALL"??? Why is trump picking these losers with ideology counter to his pledges??? wtf
Conservatives often make fun of leftists for living outside reality. Are conservatives much better when they refuse to acknowledge Trump just saying the jabs saved hundreds of millions of lives? And he said that after winning the election. I'm overjoyed he won, and have more hope than in a long time. But I'm not seeing how these picks run counter to his own ideology. His picks are mostly very good though, hopefully squishy Republicans will be afraid to buck him and vote them down.
I lean your way, SteelJ, but if politics required saints, we’d have been toast long before the Constitutional Convention. We don’t need guard dogs to repent, and doing so would only make Trump look weak to our enemies. If he’ll stay on mission, I’ll live with his character flaws.
He may not want to come right out with self-flagellation for his enormous, epic fail on his COVID response. I can see the argument for that. But he doesn't have to say his precious jabs saved hundreds of millions of lives. That is over-the-top disgusting. I'm very glad he won, of course. And as I said, more hopeful than in many years. But there is something fundamentally very wrong with this man that troubles me, to be able to say things like that. You may remember it was earlier THIS YEAR he touted the jabs as his greatest achievement. That's no indication that he gets it, seems he definitely does NOT get it.
Fundamentally very wrong is right. Hard to imagine any political or practical benefit of bragging about being top dog when all hell broke loose. I think they set him up then and will use it against him later. He should shut up about it and focus on what can be unburdened by what has been.
He's still the Miracle Vaxx president in his own mind i guess...if only one close family member of his had an Adverse Reaction (lord forbid) he may have a genuine awakening as to how they played him as the Pandemic Patsy President
Because - politics. Even Trump has to engage in the game somewhat. We all know he will not hesitate to fire anyone who disappoints him or is not loyal.
He's a homo married to a man who two adopted kids. 6 billion humans to choose from and Trump picks this guy. Curious
I wonder if DT didn't offer up some powerless posts that lack authority to gain support in other ways. Surgeon General has no authority at all. Possibly the same with Labor dept pick - DT got support from some big labor groups. He has the power to fire these folks if they buck his agenda.
Let her try that again and see where it gets her. We are awake.
That’s one pick I have a big OH NO about!!
😳😳😳
All good pointes, and many of us have learned there is more to Trump's picks than we can see at first glance. Remember, Trump is a genius and a chess player. The nomination of Matt Gaetz is now referred to as the Gaetz Gambit. It was a calculated move that produced the desired results.
One thing it did was identify the republican back stabbers that were questionable. Now we know for sure.
So true Carolyn!
Precisely correct and I wish everyone would read your post Dave.
I`m MAGA yet still a registered Demonrat Staying under the radar for sabotage and infiltration purposes
Lilfe-long member of Republican Party, but two years ago considered fairly seriously changing status to Dem so that I could "sabotage and infiltrate".
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer
LOL
my wife is WAY bigger Trump supporter than I've EVER Been. She's a lifelong Dem and i switched in 1995 after the Gingrich Revolution to restrain the Evil Dem. Clinton-Machine of the day
👍
I agree, people change. Even though I have always been on the conservative side, I still cringe when I think of how I supported the Bushes. They are monstrous swamp creatures. And, there are other times I joined up with the wrong side on things. Like gun control...I have young kids and there was a time I was very terrified about school shootings. I have since evolved my thinking and realized that an unarmed populace is much more dangerous than the very rare mad man situation we all fear. But there was a time when my thinking was wrong on this, is my point. I do think people can change, and should be allowed to change. It's a necessary part of ensuring we all get to the right place eventually.
Good for you Jen. Thats what we hope all are - able to think reason and change. Not sheeple!
Yes, people can change. And I still see it as Dream Team - Tulsi, RFK Jr, Elon, Vivek, and possibly Kash at FBI. Who would have imagined these picks a year ago? Not me. I'm extremely hopeful and elated. I didn't even really expect Trump to seriously attempt to do what he's about to do, but he's not messing around this time. I can't wait :) If Rubio does the neocon thing, Trump can fire him. If any of these cabinet picks get out of line, Trump will fire them. I suspect that will be JD's role - making sure all of these Agency/Dept heads do what they are supposed to. #winning
By the way, the pick I was most disappointed in is the Labor Secretary. That's the main confirmation hearing I want to watch. But then again support for unions keeps driving businesses and manufacturing to my neck of the woods. There is always a bright side. A Republican congress will never go for things like the Pro Act. And they've tried to unionize the Amazon dist center 20 miles away from me about 3 times, and we keep voting it down.
And the eyeballs on Trump's sketchy picks with be in the millions. They know they'll be watched and scrutinized, like a fish in a bowl. The very best kind of accountability.
CAN we even IMAGINE without feeling an impulse to leap from a 5 story building, a KoupMala Cabinet forming before our eyes???
I remember when I supported W and Cheney. Yeah, I’m sorry.
Consider the alternative, nut case climate fanatic and general douche bag, "Inventor of the Internet" al gore. They are why Im no longer a Republican.... now I'm just a dyed in the wool, Christian Constitutional Conservative.
lol…what changed your mind on them?
I supported Obama until he picked his Citi Bank cabinet and voted for the FISA bill.
The last 12 years has been a wake up call for many people. Then from 2020 onward, with the pLandemic and stolen elections, many people said enough is enough.
I don't think Trump is democrat or republican - even though he used the Republican party as a sort of launch platform - its why the uniparty hates him. I think he is 100% Make America Great Again and is picking people who know, like Santa, who has been naughty and nice. People who will help him get to the core of the problem and destroy it root and branch. I like that. I don't categorize myself as Democrat or Republican. I am a Christian Constitutional Conservative and align myself with others like me or closest to like me.
My thought is a LOT of people will have some or major fundamental change since 2016. Some will be milder, others dramatic. Some will disguise it, others champion it.
But make no mistake, the COVID tyranny and subsequent medical catastrophes are poking holes in unconscious mental narratives all the time, and people are changing even if we can't see it from a distance.
Much depends on level of mental block to change. Hard to know what political appointees really believe if you cannot see first-hand evidence of what they actually do.
We'll know soon enough. If some are "bad," Trump needs to move swiftly to correct.
The difference between success and failure is often how quickly one recognizes and corrects mistakes. Trump should be far faster this time around to course correct. Or else...
I think Trump is way ahead of all the doomsayers. As always.
Totally agree with you.
Either one, or both, of two things happen:
They've learned enough to know they've seen too much; either that, or they've finally grown out of their childhood mentalities.
Another one... People have tried to make a big deal that Scott Bessent worked for George Soros... I just read that he interned with Jim Rogers when he was in college. Jim Rogers is a big time Austrian Economics supporter. That's a really good connection to have.
Check out this video about Trump’s picks. I’m still holding out hope, but it’s not looking good.

This Thanksgiving, I am especially grateful. I’m still so joyful each day since the election. Unlike 4 years ago, when the Vegetable was installed as #46. When we all gather for dinner this Thursday, continued blessings for our great nation. MAGA! MAHA!
Pray for the protection of DJT and RFKJR. Shaking up the status quo is not endearing to the status quo. May God protect them. Amen 🙏
Did you catch his turkey pardon yesterday? I think even the turkeys thought he was full of stuffing. What a joke. Cue cards to pardon a turkey!
I thought one of the turkeys looked surprisingly like Hunter - getting an early pardon?
Turkey Hunter 🤔🤔🤔
YES! I’m also bery thankful he picked a strong VP who I am NOT worried about should someone take DJT out!
Good reminder. I am immensely grateful that Trump has a solid succession plan.
“We all just watched the largest jury trial in history. It was called “the election.” And the jurors found President Trump not guilty. Fin.” BRILLIANT
Yes, the election verdict was determined once the inarticulate witness for the prostitution took the stand.
Happy Thanksgiving all 🦃☕️
Happy Thanksgiving from cheating Pennsylvania.
I’ll raise you two cheating Michigan’s…at least PA got some brains going and kept Casey out. Now we just have to shake up the Uniparty Republicans that it’s not “business as usual” any longer
Hold my beer, I live in Hawaii. 😑🤙😎
I just spit my 3rd cup of coffee out my nose! 🤣
Here in Arizona, we’ve had all Senate seats, AG and Governor stolen. Apparently Lara Trump has packed up her lawyers and gone home, because nothing is even being said about it. (Except the cartel-connected Gallego and hideous troll space cadet Mark Kelly are spiking the football on the local news every night.)
Yeah, there is that. But it’s finally up to the people of the state to push back and to push mightily. And that particularly means the GOP neocons. Get rid of all of them. Why did Sinema retire so quickly in AZ? And what has happened to the pink tutu-ed bright star of the Dems in AZ. I kind of liked her when she didn’t wear white along with all the other Dem women at one of DJT’s State of the Union addresses.
It is easy to say get rid of them all, not so easy to do when the people who are in power built the s_Election system which now keeps them in power. You can identify the problem, but then try to get anyone to volunteer to help you do what needs to be done.
As for Sinema, i think she grew up and changed too and could no longer stomach the cancer in DC.
I hear ya. Detroit has been run by Democrats and corrupt for so long, no one paid attention any longer. As long as it was Motor City and there were jobs aplenty, cities like Lansing, Flint, and Saginaw grew. Now they are wastelands of weed infested, slabs of broken cement and hollowed out buildings, surrounded by chain link fence. Michigan would switch party affiliation every 8 years of governor and the Legislature was”solidly” Republican for 40 years. We found out how an election that placed 3 Marxist women at the levers of Gov., AG, and SOS could destroy a state in 4 years, but it had been in the works for decades. Covid sure opened our eyes. Now we claw our way back out from under a MiGOP that is almost as bad as the Marxist Dems, but they can’t hide any longer.
We all have a lot of clawing to do, and it starts at County level reasserting our constitutional rights and putting back in place elections instead of s_Elections. And we have a Federal Government who will now back us instead of locking us in DC gulags because we dared to challenge - rightfully - the stolen 2020 election by showing up in DC to petition our government.
Thank God Trump is going to be doing a lot of clawing too. And I think he will be working on removing machines and mail in ballots as an ultra high priority since they were both used to steal his re-election in 2020.
At first I was hoping this election was some sort of rope-a-dope where they would get the evidence to catch them all, but then I read the Q posts. 53-47 in the Senate was forecast by Q way back in 2018, and here we are. Apparently we have more struggling to do in Arizona. Maybe they'll all be arrested when they try to prevent the illegal alien roundups that will be incoming?
Although Q did mention "Watch the water" several times. Maybe Q was referring to Lake.
I have no proof at this point but Im guessing Lake is going to be deeply involved in restoring the election system.
Happy Thanksgiving, Kathleen! Hello from cheating California, where we keep counting the votes until the Republicans lose…😡
For real CMG. CA needs desperate change!
Pennsylvania cheated but lost. That’s great!
PA overcame the cheating and elected President Trump and Sen. Dave McCormick.
Happy thanksgiving ma’am!
😂 not funny
Help may be coming. Have you seen this?
It's well worth a watch, and is a good reminder of how we can also help ourselves.

Oregon the same
He sure was trying to hang on with a death grip.
Don't forget about the very corrupt Sec. of State for PA...in on the big steal.
Isn't WI as bad? at least in Coloraddo we are all shamed (even by Republicrats and Liebertarians) into accepting how the defective and hacked system is still perfect and the Evil corrupt people managing it are fair and equitable professionals. Also 63 of 64 Counties using Dominion is NOT a Monopoly or threat to democracy.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING from ALL RED state counties...OKLAHOMA!
Happy thanksgiving beth !
Happy Thanksgiving Beth and the entire C&C family!!
Btw, we’re at Jerry’s Saturday night.
What time? Not sure if I can make it.
We start at 6. End at 10. Usually a hoot.
You too, neighbor!
Congrats to Robby Starbuck for his push to force Walmart to end its DEI policies. And congrats to Walmart for recognizing that DEI never was about what it claimed to be, and that Americans found it repugnant. I do have to shop at Walmart for some things that I cannot get at Dollar General or Aldi's. Now I can feel better about it.
Look up Colin Wright's substack about how this new DEI study is being ignored:
The evidence presented in these studies reveals that while purporting to combat bias, some anti-oppressive DEI narratives can engender a hostile attribution bias and heighten racial suspicion, prejudicial attitudes, authoritarian policing, and support for punitive behaviors in the absence of evidence for a transgression deserving punishment. Although not addressed in the studies reported herein, it is also possible that these factors are mutually reinforcing and spread through social contagion. Our findings raise this possibility which we offer here in the form of a post-hoc process model (to be investigated in futurestudies ):
1. Anti-Oppressive Intervention: DEI training rooted in anti-oppressive rhetoric introduces
narratives that lead people to assume that certain groups are inherent oppressors and others
as inherent victims.
2. Increased Racial Suspicion: Exposure leads to hostile attribution bias, causing participants
to see discrimination when there is no evidence that discrimination has occurred, driving racial
prejudice, intergroup hostility, suspicion and division.
3. Authoritarian Policing: This heightened suspicion triggers authoritarian policing tendencies,
leading people to endorse surveillance and purity testing, strict social controls, and escalating
responses from corrective to coercive.
4. Punitive Retribution: Participants show greater support for extreme punitive measures
against perceived oppressors as well as those seen as ideologically impure.
5. Calls for More Interventions: The heightened punitive atmosphere feeds back into demands
for more anti-oppressive DEI training, creating a self-reinforcing cycle of suspicion and
intolerance.
https://networkcontagion.us/reports/instructing-animosity-how-dei-pedagogy-produces-the-hostile-attribution-bias/
Runemasque - Yes, social engineering by those with certain ideologies, that only harms and impedes.
Well the increased suspicion is not surprising when all it takes to “prove” discrimination is someone in a protected group saying “you just know” when someone is being racist or discriminatory. No further evidence needed according to them, no question of intent or anything. You “just know” 🙄
Is that like a microaggression? 🤮
My comment was in relation to something I heard a DEI supporting “minority” say, during a discussion about supposedly “racist” acts and statements that were on the face of it, actually pretty ambiguous at best. I asked how would you know what the intent was or if it was truly racist without additional evidence? I wax informed that “POC always ‘just know’” when the motivation behind an action is because of racism. I just found that completely flabbergasting and totally unfair. But she was very sure of her assertion. When people are constantly looking for racism amd don’t need any evidence to prove it, their own “feelings” are sufficient proof, it is small wonder that relationships are poisoned 😕
"......it is small wonder that relationships are poisoned."
Agreed. Had a conversation with friends just yesterday. Everyone with kids ~40 say the same thing: they're all brainwashed and "intolerant" of those whom THEY claim are intolerant. Most of the people in this group have ~40 year old prodigals who have not spoken to them for years. It's like a creeping mold has overcome them.
"And congrats to Walmart for recognizing that DEI never was about what it claimed to be, and that Americans found it repugnant."
I think you're giving Walmart far too much credit.
As the #1 retailer in the world, which shocks but does not surprise me, I'm fairly certain they COULD NOT CARE LESS about what Americans want. They are swayed by $$$$ and will "flow" as needed in order to get more of it. I'd be willing to lay odds they'd march into the mouth of Hell to increase their bottom line!
Their "love of money" will eventually be their demise.
Etsy is selling a vendor's Satanist themed baby clothing.
🤬
Shocked I tell you.
Witchcraft and Satanism still in vogue in a post-Christian society that has benefited and been overly sated by materialism due to hardworking, fair, decent Christian forbears who pushed against oppression and dishonesty...don't wear that cross in public it's offensive.
Huh?
Walmart uses biometrics when you shop there.
Boom! Loved this morning’s C&C! I was somewhat surprised and appalled to see how many commenters have suddenly turned on the new president elect with one pick, the Surgeon General. I don’t like her, but I don’t like 85% of the DC entrenched bureaucracy. I’m not going to question Trump’s strategy playing right now. It is a game of chess I do not understand, but Trump has suffered too much at the hands of elitists and neocons for me to not support him. As all his picks go, let’s see what the worthless media touts.
Some people he has pushed into the limelight and their careers are over. Where’s FoChi now?
Idk, but Kennedy’s looking for him.
"FoChi" - I finally stopped laughing after 3 minutes. Thank you!
I think they are all woefully weak never Trumpers and closet dems/rinos playing the last cards of their dying hands.
And your post is spot on.
It's not just one of his picks. Most of his picks have pushed the jabs, and are part of the WEF.
Please enlighten me on these picks. Who are most?
How fast we forget the plots to topple his first presidency, the plot to unleash a bioweapon against the country from his own government, the stolen election, the J6 plot, the law fare of the last 4 years against him, the assassination attempt, which but for God would have killed him, and still he fought on. Trump is not my savior, and he will not solve where we have gotten ourselves, but he is here for a reason. He received the popular vote majority, that just doesn’t happen. Who would be better? He didn’t have to do any of this.
The WEF has become the boogie man for everyone thinking the world is ending. They know how to use propaganda better than anyone. They know where Americans fears and anxieties lie and they use these tools to fool many into thinking they know more than the average Joe who is just trying to make a living and raise a family. Be a good American. With the internet anyone can be anything they choose. They can defame and raise false gods. DJT did nothing in his first term that made me distrust him or call him a fool. He is wiser now, let’s roll…
Sounds like Putin has us by the hazelnuts.
Those hazelnut filled round candies so often given as gifts this Christmas will be touted by the left as some form of Russian subterfuge😂😂😂
Only because we have a bunch of un-elected USA hating buffoons "running" the country - into the ground - right now. Let's not forget Trump created the US Space Force before the Coup d'Etat. Imagine if you will, a space and land based protective dome over the USA. And the "missiles" don't travel at a measly 10x the speed of sound, instead, try 186,000 miles per second. Yes, the speed of light, and by light I mean High Energy LASER.
Luckily not every General in DOD is a dress wearing DEI CRT clown, and a whole lot fewer will be shortly, thank God and Trump.
Here is some info from AI on HEL STRATEGIC and TACTICAL weapons currently being worked on in DOD, UNCLASSIFIED:
"The Department of Defense (DOD) is developing high-energy laser weapons (HELs) for a variety of tactical and strategic missions, including:
Air defense
The US Army deployed a pair of 20-kilowatt Palletized High Energy Lasers (P-HEL) overseas in November 2022 to shoot down enemy drones. The P-HELs were developed by BlueHalo, an American defense contractor.
Ship-based defense
The US Navy installed a 60-kilowatt laser weapon on the USS Preble in August 2022 to defend against missiles, drones, and small, fast-moving ocean surface vessels.
Aircraft defense
The US Air Force is developing high-energy lasers for offensive and defensive aircraft missions. In 2010, the Air Force tested a megawatt laser on a modified Boeing 747 to shoot down a ballistic missile.
Space-based defense
The DOD is developing a constellation of laser-weapon platforms in space to provide air and ballistic missile defense.
The DOD is also developing a diagnostic system called GRAILLE-II to evaluate the performance of its high-energy laser systems.
HELs have several advantages over traditional missiles, including:
Cost
Firing a high-powered laser costs between $1 and $10, which is much less than traditional defensive systems.
Speed
Laser beams travel at the speed of light, allowing them to better track and target fast-moving weapons.
Mobility
HELs can be mounted on wheeled or tracked vehicles to move with troops and provide air defense.
However, HELs also have some limitations, including:
They require a clear line of sight to the target.
They need a stable platform to perform optimally.
They can be affected by cloud, rain, smoke, or manmade countermeasures."
Makes Putin's and anyone else's hypersonic weapons immediately scrap metal.
Regarding the name "Orechnik", not sure we want to receive an orchiectomy.
Only these who were born and raised there understand the name meaning. It goes back to WWII
While we name our obsolete crap Attackems. 😠🙄
I’m a little late here, but LOL
Good and glorious morning C&C family. My sister took 2 of the Covid shots + a booster. She has an undiagnosed auto immune issue. Currently, she is being treated for diverticulitis, and UTI and the presence of H. Pylori. I am going to suggest FLCCC. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated! Make today epic! Thanks much!
Ivermectin is being shown to be useful for many conditions. That and Fenbendazole.
I second the vote for Ivermectin and Fenben protocols.
Make sure the UTI is completely treated. It can turn into sepsis, especially quickly for those who took the covid shots.
Lots of vitamin C right?
Sepsis is another complication of untreated or unsuccessfully treated UTI (which can happen if the infection is caused by drug-resistant bacteria), which can be life-threatening. An infusion of intravenous vitamin C with hydrocortisone and thiamine has been shown to reduce mortality from sepsis nearly fivefold, but many health care professionals are still unaware of this revolutionary treatment. ( from Dr Mercola stack)
My son SIL was admitted to the hospital for sepsis. When I asked if they’d administered the Marik protocol they looked blank. Never heard of it. Then they were resistant. Ugh.
This medical ignorance of such a basic protocol is shocking.
I think it is purposeful ignorance. They are beholden to the Drug Industrial Complex (DIC), so there is virtually no whole of health care (actual natural solutions) when it comes to these issues with these "doctors". If there were, we would have never had all these jabs. Ignore things that work, like Ivermectin, Quercetin, Zinc, D3/K2, B-complex, vitamin C, Black Cumin Seed Oil, Coriander Oil, Turmeric, etc., etc.
Energy Density Frequency Medicine is proven to knock out every virus and bacteria from the bloodstream in about 10 minutes. It was first developed by the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Today, we have a fully developed product from their research: https://www.swisstransfer.com/d/c20e94f3-e60c-4e6d-83d8-8ef854f2fcac
On a side note, I take 2000mg of vit. C every day as a preventative (both for UTIs as I am now a post-menopausal woman, and for cold/flu prevention). It's cheap and it is water-soluble so you will pee out any excess. There is also evidence it helps maintain the integrity of the inner lining of our blood vessels.
Also D-Mannose is very helpful to protect against UTI’s.
Yes and for those such as the elderly who don't respond to D-Mannose look into methenamine (prescription.)
Not sure. I know that to knock a UTI out, you have to go the antibiotic route.
You definitely need antibiotics, but the Marik protocol is a lifesaver when time is of the essence, giving the antibiotics time to work.
IV vitamin C.
I always use this natural remedy below. It’s not failed me once.
https://gingerbabyorganics.com/honey-turmeric-ginger-vanilla-antibiotic/
Fascinating. Thanks for sharing!
That’s what happened to my Dad who passed in September. He was unjabbed (as far as we know) although had been in and out of the hospital over the last few years and I swear if I ever find out they gave it to him unbeknownst to us, I will …
There was a young athlete in my area who had a UTI and it was left untreated. Probably her symptoms might have been mild. Then she was hit with sepsis. Pretty sure she was jabbed.

I'm not a doctor nor versed in any of that but I can tell you my wife and I will pray for your sister. All we can do :(
Look into D-mannose for uti.
D-mannose works great! Creates a Teflon like coating in the bladder.
Tried that and just about everything else for recurrent UTI’s. I take Hiprex (prescription) twice a day, for maybe 2 years now. After going through at least 8 UTI infections in a year and having a camera put up there and finding no abnormalities, it has been a godsend. My urologist said it basically turns my urine into something like formaldehyde (without that odor, thank goodness) so no bacteria can grow in it. It works, in any case. I’d prefer an all natural method but if you’ve exhausted everything like I did, it might be worth asking about.
Sounds very serious. Have you tried Uquora?
This is a natural remedy I use but I do not have serious UTI’s: https://gingerbabyorganics.com/honey-turmeric-ginger-vanilla-antibiotic/
Did try Uquora, cranberry juice and supplements, extra D-mannose, you name it. It was so frustrating! Almost thought I had a flare up on a recent trip to Europe with my BF, but oh, just passed a kidney stone instead. 🤦🏼♀️. Shout out to Salzburg’s local hospital for that one.
My PCP referred me to a URO/GYN due to recurrent UTI’s. She performed a cystoscope and found the walls of my bladder loaded with bacteria. So every time I was prescribed antibiotic by my PCP the UTI would cede temporarily but come back within a 2-3week period. The URO/GYN had me on a low dose of the “correct” antibiotic (after culture came back with the ID of the bacteria). I was on that particular antibiotic for 6 months. It’s been over 18 months now, and I haven’t had any UTI’s since then.
Yes this - generic name is methenamine - is working for my elderly mother. Found a doc who knew about this and was able to get her off the prophylactic antibiotics.
You need to find something that will break down the biofilm in the bladder. The biofilm prevents the antibiotics from actually reaching the bacteria to kill them.
Cranberry juice?
No sugar !!! Doesn’t solve everything, but made the largest impact on my health !! Dr Lustig’s book Metabolical …he also is all over YouTube. Prayers 🙏 for your sister !
Read Metabolical this summer. Very eye opening!
It can't hurt to go to an IV clinic and get "High Dose Intravenous Vitamin C" treatment.
It can treat darn near anything.
UTI? Possibly! https://www.researchgate.net/publication/345831384_High-dose_intravenous_vitamin_C_reduces_urinary_tract_infection_post-kidney_transplantation
The clinics are in every large city. Less than $200.
My husband doc at the VA in Cape Coral said she won’t test for h pylori because everyone has it. I was appalled. (My leaky gut is getting worse & they don’t care. )
H pylori is not the cause of ulcers. It is like blaming the firefighters that show up to put out the fire as the cause of the fire. Bacteria appears at sites that are already compromised as a cleanup crew. It is only when conditions are out of balance that bacteria overgrows. Everyone does have H Pylori but it is in balance with all the bacteria in your gut unless something else has changed to allow overgrowth. Could be diet, could be emotions, could be medications...everyone's story is different.
I keep hearing about raw milk helping with gut issues as well as many other. Have you thought of that?
Can you suggest that she start reading 2nd Smartest Guy in the World substack?
D-mannose has helped those and myself who have had UTI’s in the past…it’s a good thing to have in one’s apothecary.
All of her issues are symptoms of the bio-weapon's effect on her immune system. That has to be addressed or her body will continue to develop challenges that will eventually degrade her health to the point of death.
Yeah, and even if not jabbed, shedding is likely a problem...
Sepsis is another complication of untreated or unsuccessfully treated UTI (which can happen if the infection is caused by drug-resistant bacteria), which can be life-threatening. An infusion of intravenous vitamin C with hydrocortisone and thiamine has been shown to reduce mortality from sepsis nearly fivefold, but many health care professionals are still unaware of this revolutionary treatment.

Look into DMSO, one of the most helpful substances in human history...and therefore actively discouraged by the medical/pharma establishment, of course. Go find A Midwestern Doctor's substack and read everything you can. One example:

It’s super important that the UTI is fully treated. I’m not sure the best protocol. Maybe a functional medicine doc and a naturopath would both be helpful. I just know that I lost a dear friend much too soon to a UTI that was supposedly better (treated with a full course of antibiotics by a conventional MD), but then she went suddenly septic and her organs shut down. She was also vaxxed and boosted. Prayers for you and your family!
FLCCC protocols are great and Dr. Pierre Kory's Leading Edge Clinic does telemedicine consults as well.
I recommend the book "Super Gut" by Dr. William Davis. It discusses H Pylori and other microbiome issues: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1399701819/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Eric Daugherty on X (via Pamela Gellar): "Mexican president announces she is stopping the migrant caravans from arriving at the U.S. southern border after Trump's tariff threat.
The announcement came only 12 hours later."
Assuming it pans out, funny what they can do with sufficient incentive.
Good news all around, but let's not get ahead of ourselves and forget where we are.
This is going to be the longest, most dangerous two months in history for the US and the world.
We need to stay focused, stay prayerful, and be ready.
Amen!!
Yes, our generals are that dumb.
But they have amazing acrylics
??? Not sure what you mean.
I think he’s talking about a type of manicure.
Acrylic manicures. 😆
They are still deciding what pronouns to use and looking for "white rage."
💅
Fingernails. They’re pretty.
I hear pretty fingernails are very threatening to the enemy. 🤣🤮
re: Nobody is even close to developing a defense to this weapon.
I am not at all certain that is true. Remember Reagan's "Star Wars" program? Notice Elon Musk's Starlink placements? Could they augment each other?
The real trick is that the launch must be detected and stopped before their hazelnut gains enough speed, else it will be too late.
How about a peace deal before we get to that point?
It's too late for "before we get to that point", since Russia already launched their hazelnut. However, it's NEVER too late for a peace deal :) I don't think the B-H folks are interested, but probably the T-V crew can do it.
Russia has shown tremendous restraint in view of US and NATO aggression.
Hammer time! Biden isn’t in charge, Blinken and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan are trying to start world war 3. The latter and his congresswoman elect wife are the ultimate swamp commissar power couple: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/maggie-goodlander-jake-sullivan-commissar-couple
forgetting the Obamas...?
Obamas came from one of the outside the swamp leftist enclaves and then became/merged into becoming part of the swamp. These two wretches (Sullivan and Goodlander) were groomed and checked all the corrupt boxes inside of the beltway coming up from the "inside" of the sewer. Same type of wretched lawless creatures, they just took different paths.
You nailed it Yuri. They used millions of the DC swamp money to purchase the seat. It is a D leaning districted seat, but they barely won. Margaret (Maggie) had to rent an apartment in the district to "qualify" to run and Lily still almost beat her. Maggie used a sign designer that mimicked Maggie Hassan (current federal senator) to garner name recognition and make people see the signs as if it were Maggie Hassan. Excellent marketing on their part. Goodlander will be another solid swamp/deep state vote for the destruction of the Republic.
It's not WW3 by shooting back.
The only person who started the war is Putin. It can stop at anytime
Not my words, but sharing.
Unfortunately, many still wrongly believe that Russia are the aggressors.
The US overthrew Ukraine via color revolution, took control via proxy, built a standing army on Russia’s border, supplied them with NATO weapons and training, and are now launching US missiles into Russia.
How would you feel if Russia overthrew Canada via color revolution, took control of their government via proxy, built a massive army on our border, gave them Russian missiles, and then helped Canada shoot those missiles inside the United States? Because that’s what the US just did to Russia.
Remember the Cuban missile crisis? The US had a hard red line for the Soviet Union, that they could NOT put nuclear missiles within range to strike the US. We almost went to direct kinetic war with Russia over the situation.
Now the US, by control of the Deep State, put missiles and armies on Russia’s border, after Putin told us for decades that it was a hard red line for them, just like it’s a red line for the US.
The US are the aggressors. They ignored all the attempts at diplomacy, they ignored Russia’s warnings, brought war to Russia’s doorstep, and now Putin is backed into a corner. He does not want this war, he just wants NATO missiles and armies away from his border, which historically, is a fairly reasonable request.
If you still think that Russia moved into Ukraine “unprovoked”, you are brainwashed.
Susan, all valid points that have been ignored or downplayed by the media for years. They are still using Russia as the boogie man, but the people have wised up.
Thank you Susan. Totally over the target. It is the United States that is, even criminally so, The Menace of the World. And 'World' includes all of us regular people in the United States who have been mercilessly ravaged by the Evil Wizards and War Lords 'ruling' over us (unconstitutionally).
And if I were a German person and saw my country's economy leveled by official US policy, I be hot mad about it (as I am about the situation in the US). Any sane person or country, with the track record (very bad) ought not want to have anything to do with the United States.
You know, I still do not get notification when someone "replies" to my comment. I only get notices of "likes". If I want to see if someone replied, I have to go back and physically look at the string again. Frustrating.
Where have I heard this before? Oh yeah, you said it..............................................
...It’s as if they have trans-Atlantic spectacles on, and they are incapable of recognizing that the world around them has changed in the most dramatic way, in a way we haven’t seen in 500 years.
“I have maintained many times in the past that the change we are seeing right now is as fundamental as the change from the Dark Age of the 14th Century to the Renaissance of Italy and modern times, which was introduced by that, leading to a completely different set of axioms—in the understanding of people about man, nature, the society, and so forth...
https://eir.news/2024/11/news/the-most-dangerous-six-weeks-in-world-history/
Thanks Dave, you are also right over the target. I think if and when we can ever get the 17th Amendment repealed, we will be able to sustain the gains that Trump (if the deep state doesn't pull a fast one on us and start WWIII) will surely garner over this second term.
That "progressive" destruction of federalism I believe is the single biggest detrimental issue we have been subject too. The states (via the state legislatures) are the only ones that can actually rein in the uncontrolled money buying schemes in the "senate" races and return the sovereignty of the legislature's representation at the federal level. It is time that the senators WORK for their respective states and not to the deep state or their big donor election funding providers.
Yours is a correct view. The lie was fostered that the direct election by 'the people' of federal senators would enlarge 'democracy' in action, and not that the States themselves should have representation as a direct input of control over a possibly wayward federal government. And thereby the 17th Amendment the many several states were diminished while the power in Washington was enlarged ... pretty much as you represent. As well, the power of the less populated states was impacted.
That which created the federal power was now subordinate to its creation. But not entirely though as we see in the example of what Florida has managed to accomplish. Nonetheless, I would be glad to see the 17th deep sixed and the appointment of federal senators returned to the states.
Amen
And so you support Ukraine in all things, and you’re happy they built up a war machine to swat at Russia. With no influence from the cia, the biolabs built there on our behalf, and the constant shelling of innocents in their own country, for preference of Russia. And it gas nothing to do with the massive laundering of cash from the us to your friendly progressive politicians. You must have Clydesdale sized blinders on, Benn.
Russia did move into Ukraine unprovoked. The west told Putin he was launching an invasion, he said he wasn't.
The US didn't make millions of Ukrainians protest again the corrupt and illegitimate Ynuckovych regime.
Russia's puppet did by turning his back on the people and using his goons to murder unarmed protestors.
If you want to make the comparison to the US, there isn't one. We'd have to have committed genocide against canada, perverted their elections, forced them to disarm and stiffle their own military, and force them to make economic choices for US and not themselves.
Nato didn't build a massive army in Ukraine. Ukrainians did.
There's no comparison.
Because Russia? That's what Putin did.
Putin does want this war. He refused any kinds of negotiations and wanted to showcase how powerful the Russian army was. It majorly backfired.
Russia violated 5 major agreements and treaties proving that they can't be trusted. Budapest, Friendship, Minsk 1 and 2.
And now? Putin has 2 more major Nato nations on his border with Nato missiles within range of another major Russian city. Such a great job, 4d chess brah.
Russia is the aggressor. And if you don't believe it, by all means-get the Russian covid vaccine which Putin loves and Russia has approved for children and young as 6.
1008 days into the 2 day war.
Wow do you have your head right up your red,white, and blue ass.
The situation in Ukraine has a very long history. We should have been wise not to meddle in other countries’ internal affairs. If we had been wise, there wouldn’t be a war raging in Ukraine nor would be on the precipice of nuclear annihilation. In other words, we are the ones mainly responsible for the mess there. We went back on our agreements with Russia to keep Ukraine neutral. Putin has exercised great restraint. The fools here have progressed from poking the Russian bear to kicking him in the testicles. Let’s pray for infusion of sanity into the fools.
Jack, I like that furthering of the poking the bear analogy.
Nonsense Benny, the enemy of world peace is nested in the bowels of the US deep state department, the Pentagon, and the CIA, which used Ukraine as its headquarters. Putin has engaged in cleaning up that mess and protecting his people.
Exactly and well put!
Spot on Dave.
He’s protecting his people by sending them in meat assaults and forcing Covid vaccines?
Weird way of protecting them.
Mental exercise:Russia installs (against international agreement) bio labs in Cuba or Mexico or Canada or heck - even Grenada. Would the US be ok with that? I’m no fan of Russia but I can’t help but think this isn’t cut and dry as that they are the aggressors 🤷🏻♀️
I tend to think if Russia was the aggressor, they’d aggressively defeat Ukraine in a heartbeat. They have the munitions to do it and Europe can’t withstand their hypersonic missiles.
We’ve been lied to for so long, but at some point we have to stop and ask ourselves what is true. Russia has the ability to decimate their neighbors. They have not, even while grievously provoked. If they’re really the bad guy, why haven’t they?
Putin has been amazingly restrained. I wish our government was. I can’t wait for Blinken to be gone.
And his commie taxpayer fleecing buddy, Jake Sullivan...
The rape and torture chambers run by his FSB goons were so kind and gentle. Sure.
GG ... unassailable logic.
Not to mention the push to get Ukraine into NATO, putting them next door to Russia despite promises from the US that they would not expand NATO.
What promises?
There were never any.
And now as a direct result of the war another nation bordering Russia joined nato and to add to the insult it's a nation that used to be a Russian empire territory. Awkward!
The same Biolabs in Russia, Belarus, Poland, and Kazakhstan?
Do not be ignorant of the fact that Obama and Victoria Newland’s color revolution stooge Zelensky had been using his goose stepping Azov Brigade Nazis go into Donbas to persecute and kill civilians of Russian descent. Especially early in the war where they killed civilians and blamed the Russians. Does Hamas come to mind? The Russians helped these people with medicine food and water. Plenty of behind-the-scenes video footage of embedded journalists to back this up. Of course you would never see this MSM. Another reason Putin was pushed into Ukraine. A previous commentor stated Ukraine was the deep states headquarters. Can’t argue that, no wonder DC has sent $200 billion over there.
Patently false and you well know that. But it wont stop you from showing up and trying to curry favor any time the war and Ukraine makes the C&C headlines. Make know mistake, Benji is a glowie as they come, and no amount of sheep’s clothing will change that. Because if you can watch billions being funneled into a nation for regime change and warfare, and then say it a completely independent “revolution” there has got to be a a three letter sponsored cubicle in play.
But dont worry Benji, just keep chanting: 3 day war! Putler is a nazi! We intercepted them all! Just LOOK at all the meat-wave attacks! Just LOOK at’em!
Now go on and do your slanderous worst!!
And yes I AM being a prick, and YES I am doing it for what I think is a justifiable reason. Sorry not sorry.
The US had bioweapon labs set up along the Russian border in Ukraine. The first places Putin struck was those biolabs, with surgical precision. Somehow, that fails to make the news. How would the US react if China set up bioweapon labs, such as that in Wuhan, in Mexico, or the US border? Maybe a better question would be, how SHOULD they react. Given what our lackluster, DEI preoccupied, DC politicians and military leaders are, they might not do as they should.
Also, do not forget the Ukraine is really a money laundering operation for most of the DC established. Cruz and Cornyn have lined their pockets by voting for "aid" to Ukraine.
Where are those strikes?
Wouldn’t striking them be more dangerous?
Just my thoughts.
Hey Ben, I know you’ve been told and probably even shown intel that Putin is the worst dude ever, but he’s just another actor playing a role. Just like Trump and every other political figure.
You seem like you’re either a badass who wants to follow Jesus, or maybe just a really dedicated shill. I want to believe you’re a badass.
God bless you and your house, and I pray that you seek the Kingdom of God above all other things.
I generally think people who mandate covid vaccines and claim they're the best ever are bad guys.
So what do you think of Russias new hypersonic, Benn?
It's hardly new. How has it been winning the war for them?
Jeff can't even provide proof it killed 100-200 generals like he said last March.
So why doesn’t it? Oh…wait…

This whole comment string is perfect. Should be framed.
Yes, people defending a covid vaccine creator and mandator. It's ironic.
Don't forget to roll up your sleeve.
"In other words, Trump is making Mexico and Canada pay to secure our borders."
Nope. The American consumer will pay for the tariff in terms of higher prices, but I'm ok with it. It's going to be a similar to the FAIR Tax that Herman Cain (and I think Huckabee) supported several years ago, except people can avoid the tax by buying American or from other countries. And it will only last until the scourge of Fentanyl ends. Our biggest import from Mexico is cars and car parts. The same goes for Canada. It's bold action for a huge problem. One of my nieces' died from a fentanyl OD 2 years ago - she was 37. I would have gladly paid more for the last car I bought if it spared her life. I think most people would agree with that.
Agree. My favorite cousin's son died 16 months ago from fentanyl at age 22. It should not be here. I'll bet there are many of us who love people who lost people and understand the need to pay more for a while.
My 40 yr old niece. She worked at a large CA trauma hosp. Bought it from her neighbor who brought it to her from SF to Oakland. She was dead 20 minutes after receipt at her door.... I pushed to investigate.... then had to do my own sleuthing. Turned out 24 people died that weekend from THAT tainted drug. The medics did work on her for an hour and 20 minutes... Hundreds of healthcare professionals turned out to meet her dad. Brilliant nurse until the "rec" drugs got her... Ugh. My brother died of a broken heart 3 yrs later.
So very sad Maggie.😢
Sad. Sorry.
So sad, tragic and infuriating that lives are being struck down because of this "weapon of mass destruction".
So sorry for your loss. Praying for you & your family.
That is so terribly sad 😞
That is so sad, I’m so very sorry
I agree with you but I prioritize made in America. Even with cars.
What a great update! Thank you for doing what you do, and spreading truth, joy, and optimism!
Except for the hypersonic missile thing. We need to get all over figuring that 💩 out!
Why did it look like nothing blew up?
Trump just sent me a birthday present. Two years ago my son died from a fentanyl overdose. It was rampant in our area and I think the police had PTSD from seeing young people dying and dead every day. It got so bad a local town had a meeting about how to combat it. Everyone knew it was coming over our open borders. I go to meetings for parents who have lost children and fully 1/3-1/2 of their children have died from fentanyl. This is one meeting in one town, think of the implications. Thank you, President Trump for addressing the problem and taking steps to stop it. God bless you. We must protect our children.
I am so sorry for your loss, Emumundo. I pray Trump's efforts reap the anticipated results so that other families may avoid your pain and suffering.
🙏 Sorry for your tragic loss. 🙏
Sorry for your loss, Emumundo.
Heartbroken with you. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I’m so sorry 😞
