Product Description
Product Description
Most pet owners aren't aware of the dangers in animal vaccinations that have been discovered in recent years. In this compact, easy-to-understand volume, John Clifton explains the very real risks involved every time a dog or cat gets a shot. The major veterinary associations now agree that vaccinations can trigger all sorts of maladies, from allergies to cancer - but most pet caretakers (and many veterinarians, it seems) haven't gotten the word. This is an important book for every pet owner to read. In a conver- sational, direct, non-technical voice it guides the reader in formulating an intelligent approach to animal vaccinations. Clifton lays out all the major issues: whether to vaccinate or not, which shots to give and which to avoid, how to know if and when a shot should be repeated. And, importantly, the risks in over-vaccinating. Holistic as well as orthodox medical opinions are presented. Despite the title, readers are not advised flat out to abandon vaccinations. Rather, they are encouraged to learn about the risks and benefits - and "stop the shots" until they are fully informed.

Easy style describes difficult situation.,
By C. A. Filecco - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Stop the Shots!: Are Vaccinations Killing Our Pets? (Paperback)
This book is a MUST read!
I had the pleasure of being a vet tech for seven years under an "old school" veternarian who NEVER PUSHED UNNEEDED VACCINES. Unfortunatley, when he retired I was left to work for his two "new school" collegues who pushed vaccines, experimental medications/anesthetics, used brute force instead of psychology. I was in the front line when injection-site sarcomas were being tracked by the AAHA (right rear rabies!)...I've seen animals "crash" after vaccines (especially cats and ferrets). I've also seen how "old" vets treated vaccines (prevention) and how "new" vets now treat vaccines ($$- it's a business). Sad. Very Sad. READ THIS BOOK...while it's not a pedagogical text on immunology and vaccines, it is an easy read for the non-technical that has a great reference section and will provide the caring pet owner with food for thought. 28 of 30 people found the following review helpful:

Enthusiastically recommended for animal owners and would-be owners,
By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Stop the Shots!: Are Vaccinations Killing Our Pets? (Paperback)
Despite its title, Stop the Shots!: Are Vaccinations Killing Our Pets? does not advocate stopping all pet vaccinations, and especially does not recommend stopping all vaccinations that protect from the most widespread and deadly infections like rabies, parvovirus and canine distemper for dogs, and panleukopenia and rhinotracheitis/calcivirus for cats. Yet award-finalist author and pet lover John Clifton logically and rationally argues against so-called conventional wisdom, such as vaccinating against diseases that pets will never be exposed to (like Lyme disease for a pet that does not live in or won't travel to an area infested with it) or the use of annual booster shots. Chapters discuss how vaccines work, the health detriments to over-vaccination such as increased risk of pet cancer or curtailment of the pet's immune system's ability to naturally fight off diseases, factors to keep in mind when deciding when the proper time is for a booster shot, and much more. Enthusiastically recommended for animal owners and would-be owners as an informative aid to decide the right amount of vaccines to protect one's pet and keep it as healthy as possible.

Absolutely Stunned,
By J. Clifton - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Stop the Shots!: Are Vaccinations Killing Our Pets? (Paperback)
As an author, I get many letters from readers. These letters mean more to me than any professional review, however flattering. I selected the following because it best typifies why I wrote "Stop the Shots!"
Dear John, I am almost done reading your book, and I am absolutely stunned to hear what damage shots can do to our animals!!! I had a Basset Hound who suffered from allergies many years and got bombarded left and right with medication and shots. Not only did the allergies get worse instead of better, exactly 3 weeks after his yearly shots he was diagnosed with cancer of the lymph nodes. Three months of chemotherapy made him so sick that I decided it was time to let him go. 5 months ago I got a new puppy from the Humane Society (now 11 months old), so your book came just in time to prevent any damage. To my surprise, my vet office told me that he needs a Bordetella shot every 6 months! I told them that my dog is not in a kennel so therefore cannot get a (Bordetella) cough... I am sure that a lot of people will benefit from your great book, especially dog lovers like us, who truly have the best intentions in mind, don't hesitate to pay the cost of the vet, "THINKING" that they are helping their pets, when the opposite is true. Thank you for your wonderful research. - Reader, Greensboro, NC (Reprinted with the writer's permission) |
