Benefits of Nosodes for Dogs

Having used nosodes for myself and my children, I am a huge proponent of this method to avoid disease. (And every day I bless the woman who introduced me to natural modes of healing, including homeopathy.)

If you have not been exposed to anything but western allopathic medicine, where you take a pill to stop symptoms and not necessarily heal the body, this will sound rather bazaar. Once accustomed to it, you can't imagine anything else.

What Exactly is a Nosode?

Here is Dr. Marty Goldstein's explanation from his book "The Nature of Animal Healing".

"A far smaller amount of the disease is isolated and prepared as a tincture, then diluted with nine drops of water or alcohol and shaken exactly 108 times, so as to add kinetic energy to the dilution. After several more dilutions with exponentially more water or alcohol (99 drops from the second dilution, 999 drops from the third, and so on, with the dilution shaken 108 times at each stage), the nosode is then said to be "potentized." This means that it retains none of the actual isolate of the disease, only the isolate's "energy memory" which can provoke the immune system into producing antibodies without any risk of virulence."

What are Nosode Side Effects?

In case you just skimmed over that last paragraph, there are absolutely no side effects from these remedies, since they are not the disease itself but rather, the energy from that disease.

Are Nosodes Recognized as a Vaccine?

In the United States, they are not so your dog will have to have a rabies vaccination unless you can get a waiver through your veterinarian.

If you kennel your dog and that kennel does not accept their use in lieu of vaccinations, you can search for a new kennel, get a dog sitter or you will have to get the required dog shots anyway until we can get the requirements to change.
