Guest guest Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Hi All, Even for experienced holistic vets, itchy dogs are difficult cases to treat. I do not see too many of these because I specialise more in equine sports dysfunction (mainly musculo-skeletal cases. A good western Dx (which may include examination of skin scrapings) is essential for good success in itchy skins. I use a few general principles when treating animals with AP. (1) I assume that the Channels exist and that acupoints (including extra points) are in basically similar places as in humans. I have used GV20 (human location) and Yintang in nervous dogs. I rarely use GB31 because I prefer GB30 and GB34 (easy to find in dogs). In dogs, I place LI04 and LV03 (as Are Thoresen and most other vets do) between MC / MT bones 2-3, rather than 1-2, because the dewclaws are vestigeal. Are says that they are energetically atrophied. (2) Whan treating castrated dogs / speyed bitches, I assume a KI Xu in all cases and routinely treat animal Baihui (lumbosacral space) + SP06 or KI07 + BL23 in those cases + whatever other points are indicated by the S & Ss. In many canine cases, I find no clear point sensitivities and the S & Ss are minor or inconclusive. In THOSE cases, I use dowsing (by pendulum) to locate best points to treat " on the day " . IMO, herbal medicine is probably more effective than AP, and combines very well with it. For best results one needs a good TCM Dx also, because skin itch can feature in very many TCM syndromes. Sagiv Ben Yakir (Israel) has been working with a few other vets using herbal formulas applied in transdermal gels. He says that the results are great. I agree with Patricia that vaccines are overused greatly and that multi-antigen simultaneous combinations is a fierce assault on the immune system. IMO, routine mass vaccination is a money-spinner for the manufacturers and those who administer the vaccines. IMO, it does more long-term harm than good, and should be banned as national policy in civilised states. However, I do not agree with a TOTAL ban on vaccinations, esp if there is significant local risk of life-threatening, or gravely disfiguring diseases.

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Phil, the vaccines have many things that sensitize the immune system besides the multiantigens involved. The aluminum in the vacines is resposible for converting the patient to a highly inflamed state, the areas you see the itching, the tailhead near the anal glands and the chewing of the four paws and face rubbing to try and itch the eye area and ears......those areas are all highly counted with the Langerhan cells that is where the T cells bring the atimulus at the lymph caolescenses. Also there are a copule papers that show aluminum simply never leaves the body so you have this constant inflammation, why we see problems like Fibromyalgia, MS and Chronic Fatigue. Once you stick it to the patient there is no return for life.......no matter what suppressive or palliative treatment you use at best you are helping them live with their disease better. The vaccines should not be a national policy in any place civilized or not.Mad scientists creat vaccines, and they have not tested and have no ide what they were doing, are doing to the immune system. We know now more than ever before, the use of the medical vaccination program will be seen for what it is, the most damaging medical assumption in the history of man.....John Hopkins Bloomberg Scool of Public Medicine has a great site where they published charts, vaccines did not alter and still do not the course of disease, that hygeine and chlorinated water is what arrested infectious disease and on their site they claim infectius disease is arrested so why are they even giving so many vaccines? I have contacted Ron Schultz, Jean Dodds and Rich Ford to see if there is any because I could not find it any proof that vaccines have stoped disease even in the animals...so long as you realize that you are trading the profile of acute disease for chronic, you can see that you are using the vaccine to offset natural selection but the trade off is genetic mutation and a chronically ill patient. In the book we are completing this week, we show the ABCs of vaccination are indeed all the diseases that we have seen since the use of vaccines, autoimmune disease, cancder, allergy, atopy and every single day we get even more proof that the vaccine administration is what confers the disease to the patient, the immune response to the assault is the disease that that particular patient expressses. I have no longer afforded folks that anything we are doing is going to rid the body of the innoculated poisons and toxins and the genetic mutations that occur, I have resigned to the fact that palliation and supression is what we are doing, treating the underlying emotional discordance is helpful for the patient as then they will deal with their disease better.Medical symptoms srping forth from the emotional component so yes, we can help but we don't cure, not this time.Sincerely, Patricia Jordan DVM,CVA,CTCVM & Herbology : : Thu, 13 Nov 2008 05:22:22 +0000Itchy dogs - difficult cases Hi All,Even for experienced holistic vets, itchy dogs are difficult cases to treat.
