Melamine in Food Chain and Pet Food!

It's not only pet food now, being poisoned. They have found Melamine in hogs, that's right, so don't eat pork. A chicken farm in MO is now under investigation for melamine in their chickens, so don't eat chicken or eggs, until we are notified otherwise.
I had a feeling, when the FDA was witholding the name of the companies who had the tainted food, that it must be in the human food chain, and sure enough, it is now in pork, and possible chickens. Beware, I feel there is more to come, that is being hidden.
I say we call for the resignation of the heads of the FDA who are responsible for letting this kind of insanity slip through the cracks into the human food chain. I is scary enough that our pets have had do endure pain and suffering, now it's humans.
Keep safe and healthy,

Go to http://www.itchmo.com for a daily update on all recalled food. They have the most updated information on all tainted food including human food now.

Healthy Pets

Healthy Pets Naturally and Holistically

I remember when I grew up, all of our family and friends pets lived to be 18+ years old and this was common. Not today, not with all the chemicals and carcinogens in our pet foods, toxins from flea and tick products, over vaccinating our pets, and more. The life expectancy has decreased over the last 30 years and we need to understand why. There is a tightly knit relationship between the veterinarians, pharmaceutical companies, agribusiness, and pet food industries that is beginning to be exposed and our pets are dieing. This has been going on for far too long and it’s time we educate ourselves, fight back, and keep our pets healthy.

Here are some very informative web sites written and hosted by Veterinarians, who understand the anatomy and physiology of our pets, and the increasing illness in our beloved pets b/c of the greed and politics of The Pet Food Industry, Veterinarians, Agribusiness, pharmaceutical companies and more.

You will find the truth behind the history of Pet Food, Vaccinations, and the toxic chemicals we are putting on our animals to rid them of fleas, ticks, etc. and will understand the reason for allergies, skin problems, arthritis, degenerative diseases, and more, that our pets didn’t have 30 years ago.

It is up to us to educate ourselves, if we want to have healthy pets. It’s about MONEY and politics, not the health of the animals.

Please read on, it may not be pretty but necessary to know.

http://www.howl911.com/: this is a very informative site and if you go to the right side of the home page, please view an article written by Dr. Michael Fox DVM entitled LARGEST PET FOOD RECALL EVER

http://leda.law.harvard.edu/leda/data/784/Patrick06.html this is also a very informative article that describes the history of pet food, the role of the veterinarians, and the FDA, AAFCO and agribusiness

http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/animals.htm this site has it all, from home made diets, to the truth about vaccine and vaccinosis, raw diets, and much more.

http://www.itsfortheanimals.com/DODDS-CHG-VACC-PROTOCOLS.HTM Dr. Jean Dodds is a veterinarian in Santa Monica, CA.

The AVMA, American Veterinary Medical Association has finally admitted that vaccinations need not be done every year. All 27 schools are on board that yearly vaccinations are not necessary. There is no scientific evidence to support yearly vaccinations. It was historical in nature in the 50’s when an outbreak of distemper occurred and it was thought that yearly vaccinations might be beneficial.

With carcinogens in our pet foods, over vaccinating our pets, putting toxic chemicals on our pets for fleas/ticks, etc, is it any wonder we are seeing so many more illnesses in our pets? Cancer, tumors, skin allergies, degenerative disease, arthritis, autoimmune deficiencies, etc., are killing our pets and now we are fighting back.

yours healthfully,

PET FOOD RECALL

The commercial pet food industry lacks the standards in ingredient quality and accountablility, and has been called to question many times. Let's talk about Ethoxoquin, a preservative used to preserve meat. Ethoxoquin is a known carcinogen and is not approved by the FDA, yet is approved for pet food. Many years ago, the pet food companies were called into question regarding the use of ethoxoquin and they removed this carcinogens and began to preserve the meat in dry foods w/ tocopherals, and vitamin E. What really occured was that instead of the pet food companies putting the ethoxoquin in the food, they had the meat companies put it in the food before it got to pet food company. Ethoxoquin is still in many pet foods on the market today. The recall today has many facets to consider. If the FDA doesn't approve buying wheat gluten from another country, and or buying meat from other countries, then buying from Canada, who doesn't have those restrictions, is a loop hole that make it easier to buy cheap ingredients from other countryies by buying from Canada, then we can say, we didn't import it. Since the bottom line on making and selling pet food, is for financial gain, and who knows, could they be testing genetically engineered foods on our pets, w/out our knowledge????? Read this very informative opinion article by Dr. Michael Fox DVM. http://tedeboy.tripod.com/drmichaelwfox/id74.html
Maybe the safest thing we can do for our beloved pets is to make our own food for them. The pet food industry and the veterinarin industry would have us believe that we are unable to adequately feed our pets with the proper ingredients, but we must consider that this is highly motivated by their greed to sell us their product. I have been feeding my cats and dogs home prepared foods for the past 10 years and I just lost a 13 1/2 year old German Shepherd, and still have a 13 1/2 year old dog and all my other animals are in their prime living healthy vibrant lives. There are many books and sites out there, where you can learn to make your own pet foods and it's a far superior diet than anything you can buy in a can or a bag. And, believe it or not, it is not more expensive to feed this way. I feed a raw diet and it costs as much as the best commercial diet on the market and they love it.
Please visit my website for further links on feeding our pets a healthier diet.
Good luck and thanks for loving your pets so much.
