The medical and veterinarian system in “civilized” countries

Why I must be responsible of what you decide to do with my body?

Why American health care is inching closer to veterinary clinic status

’m saddened to say that in today’s healthcare environment many, if not most patients are being treated as if they are owned by their insurance company, or in the case of older patients, the disabled and the poor, it’s the government that functions as the de facto pet owner.

In memory of Stempy Muson
OBVIOUSLY, THE BOARD PROTECTS VETS…NOT OUR PETS.
We blindly trusted this vet. Yes, things did not seem right after the unauthorized surgery. It is why my wife took Stempy back to this vet every day after the unauthorized surgery. The vet made my wife feel like we were crazy for being so worried or concerned. The VET was supposed to be the professional here – not us. It was not until AFTER he died that I started to really examine and research what had just happened.

the majority of Vets are financially motivated and morally corrupt. This is based on my experience with over the past 50 years of owning, breeding and training dogs.

In memory and honor of one very special cat victim
Veterinary incompetnece, negligence, and abuse are alive well in the United states and all over the world, every day untold nummer of defenceless animals are left in the hands of some negligent, imcompetent doctors who inflict cruelty, injury and death on our pets – and get away with it.

We live in the most seamlessly disinformed nation in world history. It matters not the topic—historical or contemporary events, theology, politics, economics, science, medicine—we are being fed an endless barrage of lies. The lies are continually reinforced, generation after generation, through public instruction and the international multimedia. As of today, most Americans are living their lives with minds so filled with lies they blindly engage in numerous self-destructive activities, including the faithful ingestion of pharmaceutical poisons errantly believed by millions to be medicines. In order to free our people we must help them to tear down the walls in their minds. The article below is excellently crafted and should start the process by removing a few key bricks.

Shane Ellison M.Sc.
From the November 2005 Idaho Observer:

Taking antibiotics will kill bacteria.

This is medical subgerfuge and distortion as even the medical community realizes that antibiotics don’t do what they are supposed to do. [B]We say with alarm that disease is becoming resistant to antibiotics. They are not “resistant” because they have never been operative or effective[/B]. Antibiotics are the acidic waste products of fermentation. To make an antibiotic, you need a yeast or mold and some sugar for the yeast or mold to ferment. The bi-product of the yeast or mold fermenting the sugar is the acidic antibiotic. The acids from antibiotics DO NOT KILL BACTERIA. They only force the bacteria to change. Into what does bacteria change? Into yeast and mold. That is why when you take antibiotics you end up with a yeast infection! That’s the antibiotic causing the bacteria to change from one form to another. I call this process of change “biological transformation” and the reason why you should NEVER take antibiotics.

Angry Kindreds

Corrupt Veterinarians

The medical corrupt system in the so-called “civilized” countries is a growing criminal industry taking every year the life of thousands of humans and other species making them before dying suffer from extreme pain and stress for completely treatable illnesses than if treated correctly and hearing to the patient’s opinion they will be still alive.

Patients and pets owners are treated both as pets, one in the medical and the other in the veterinary system.

Fortunately there are many countries in the world where this is not happening, and the doubts, and autonomy of the patients on their own bodies is respected. This is saving many live that otherwise would be prematurely gone

Although malpractice is a worldwide problem in both fields, extreme corruption and the total lack of autonomy about their own bodies is a characteristic of the industrialized countries where patients are treated as pets, pets less than human, and humans and pet owner claims dismissed when their loved ones are murdered.

The next article compares the medical system in the United States with the veterinarian system to make clear the high level of dehumanization and corruption in both fields.

American health care inching closer to veterinarian clinics status

This article centrates in the plight of pets but seen in almost all “civilized” countries patients are treated the same way, it applies to them as well

The proven efficacy and growing use of all in one antibiotics against most common infectious and contagious illnesses in pigeons and other birds it’s making vets uneasy and embittered about their business which just can succeed with misinformed and/or desinformed birds owners.Due to unreliable tests that in many cases cost the lives of the birds, pet owners are now taking action on their own worldwide with an incredible stock of proven working preventive and curative medicines that treat different illnesses at a time at a lower cost, Fortunately vets are nowadays not seen by everyone as the adequate option or even the best option when the goal is to save the life of the birds or prevention.It has been proven in many aspects and in many occasions that if you want to literally “save” the life of your pigeons the worst option is to consult an avian veterinary not just because they simply lack the knowledge to treat pigeons but because when they are unable to treat the bird due to their ignorance on what its going on they will kill the bird sometimes against your will, or will charge you advising you to treat it for something they are not sure what it really is.In all continents bird experts and laboratories making products for birds corroborate than prevention is the key, veterinarians profit basically from deadly, chronic, ill birds and they really need to keep people in dependency of their unreliable tests to make money of it. If you take action all on your own you will be warned about resistance and the supposed inefficacy of the all in one antibiotic due to the supposed low dosage of antibiotic in it.
This is not just untrue as most renown laboratories all over the world produce these products on a large scale and have in their stock at least one if not many of all in ones antibiotic to cure and prevent pigeons deceases.

Do not let people let you think they know more that you do.I rather do my own research than trusting the advise of someone who at the end is just trained to perform some basic acknowlegements than accurate diagnosis and medication of bird illnesess that till the day of today some of them are not completely documented, no at all documented, and some of them even completely unknow.Informed people know that lab tests are never 100% to trust and that vets sometimes succeed in treating something just because they use a wide spectrum antibiotic rather because they know what is really going on with the bird.Antibiotic sensitivity tests regarding Trichomonas cocci as all other illnesses are not readily available in most locations to determine if the antibiotic prescribed by a vet is going to be effective or not, when sensitivity tests are not available vets do just what the most of as can do as well, choosing what it seems to be the best option to treat an infection or illness.
Something important to know is that to detect trichomonas the pigeon must be carried to the laboratories because the protozoa will not survive the transport, Very occasionally they will be seen on histopathology, but due to the margin of failure it is not worthy even to try.

Then, the wise when you care about the life of the birds is to treat all of them with antibiotic, disregard if you have 2, 10, 50, 100 or even more birds because you cannot take all of them to the lab or simply wait until symptoms appear to take action because until then it will be simply too late for the birds.

But is a vet “advice” about antibiotic something for which we really need to pay?

Obviously not because treating all pigeons in cases of infectious contagious deceases it is just a matter of common sense not of expertise, the information to make a choice is all out there for free, you just have to look for it, to inform yourself, to understand the risks, and to take action.
When owning many birds quarantining the ones showing symptoms and sitting to wait to see if the rest of pigeons become ill to do something helps vets to earn more money with their unreliable tests and expensive medicines, but definitely not the birds.

Avian vets lack sufficient knowledge to treat correctly different avian species, but anyway they will charge a fee for it. They are Corrupt, without ethics, and immoral as can be.

Prevention

Avian vets lack knowledge about prevention, but the worst of it that they see prevention as a threat to their business, a vet makes no money from healthy birds, but from sick ones. Exactly like doctors and pharmaceuticals have a war against healthy well-informed patients who can easily recognize symptoms and take action on their own, vets are now scaring people about antibiotic abuse and resistance to it.

They masquerade their ignorance about some species in their own interests and advice you to kill the birds when unable to deal with what it is affecting the bird.

I have never seen anyone to die from “missuse” of antibiotic, or “resistance” to antibiotic, but I know many die of incorrect diagnosis, neglect, and malpractice.

If a bird dies in the care of a vet, everything it is OK for some people, he is a vet after all think many, I pass this lazy way of thinking and I do choose to do my choices based on proven facts and effective medication used by almost every pigeon owner around the world.

In place of giving money to a vet who thinks to know things he/she in fact in most of the cases they really do not know I invest that money in prevention, having a good stock of all the medicines particularly the all in ones, and suplements that can not just save but improve the life of your birds, This is the best thing people who really cares about their pigeons can do.

Through research I have come to know than for cure and prevention in pigeons with vage or multiple symptoms all in one medicines are the best to be used, do not let a vet to earn money treating something he/she do not understand or know better than you do, but you always need medicines in tablets or pills for individual use in case of emergency for the most common illnesess in pigeons to treat inmediately when the symptoms are very clear and grave and the illness is easy to identify

Some of the most common illnesess are
Paratyphoid, Canker, Cocci, Worms, Adeno-Coli Syndrome, Ornithosis and Candida.

Besides that you need to vaccine your pigeons for the most common and difficult to survive illnesess like

Paramyxovirus
Pox
And many others.
If you have many pigeons treating for prevention through the water works OK, when you have less than 10 pigeons treating them individualy would be better.

Some useful links.

The first link is the product that helped my little Dulce to become better, and the second link that belongs to the same website its a wide range of specialized products all of them created through research done by specialists in pigeons where a large amount of proven working all in one medicines are to be found.

The third and fourth links speak for themselves, they ship to many countries in the world.

The Dehumanized Business of Veterinarians

William Baber an average veterinarian

The Dehumanized Business of Veterinarians

William Baber its a clear example of the corrupt and dehumanized societies we live in. Strange enough the perpetrators are always the first to tear their hairs when this ugly reality is exposed.

Euthanasia cost you 50+ dollars in the US. It is a business done in the name of “the good of the animal”, what many people do not know is that the reasons why pet owners decide to kill their birds or the pet in question following the vet’s advise range from misbehaviour of the pet to mild injuries from which in most cases and with proper emergency care the bird if not euthanized will fully recover.

A “humane” method to kill some birds approved by the American Veterinary Medical Association “AVMA” is carbon dioxide, the carbon dioxide traps the air making the bird unable to breathe and he/her die slowly and painfully, an extremely inhuman, abusive, but typical way of killing other species in the US advertised an mostly suggested by veterinarians as a painless and humane solution to the nuisance.

In this sick and weird society where inverted values are the rule, pet’s owners that decide not to take their ill or injured loved ones to be killed have ought enough become the scourge of the system and accused of been inhuman for deciding to take care of their pets until their last moments.

There is in this country definitely a decomposing process going on, some people are in such state of self deceive that will even argue than if “painless and quick” killing defenceless ill or injured animals it is OK. And even the best option to stop their suffering.

Many even claim to have done the “good deed” of the day for bringing and injured bird or pigeon to a wild rescue center where mostly pigeons, house sparrows, and starlings, all of them not protected species by law against hunting and euthanasia are “humanely” killed. Once on a “rescue center” we will never see or know anyting else about the bird or his final fate.

Everyone has the right to information and guidance, but the ones that deserve unconditional support and admiration are the ones that decide not to get rid of the rescued birds giving it to a wild life rescue center, but rather to take the challenge to bring them back alive to the wild, healthy and fully recovered.

Getting rid of an injured or sick bird just because you realize taking care of him/her is a difficult task is not an act of heroism, but an act of cowardice and laziness.

That been said I want to add that a relationship with any wild species if keeped as pets is full of all the emotions we as animals can feel, joy, empathy, sadness, happiness, anger, disappointment, forgiveness and reconciliation. At the end of the journey we become an enriched, stronger, and wiser human being.

And more than probably this is one of the reasons why the statement is so angry with the real freedom of speech the internet offers to everyone. For this system definitely is important that people stay ignorant about this truh.

The Mating for Life Myth

I do not Wanna Marry!!

The Mating for Life Myth

It is advisable to avoid discussions which are not based in scientific proven facts because they are a waste of valuable time, This is applicable for the mating for life issue since most humans use to claim to be true everything that benefits themselves or their beliefs even if their claims are an obvious lie or affects the integrity of another species, their life, and freedom, it is not a surprise that creationists use some treats from other species that apparently follow a systematic pattern to reinforce their claims, dismissing at the same time the species they use as an example as inferior to themselves. Not to mention than systematic imposed monogamy in any species the humans included is a deviation of natural sexual behavior rather a “virtue” as some creationists seems to think.

Some species apparently mate for life, but what it is really clear is that most of them obviously do not, and when occasionally they do it they do it only for survival purposes with no moral implications, why then creationists and moralists of all walks do choose the first example of sexuality to suggest how human sexuality should look like?. Why not the other way around?. I say this to make clear than these claims are based on an outdated and dangerous religious morality, a silly idealization of human sexuality that does not match reality and never did. Monogamy as a choice could be OK, even so it remains an aberration, a deviation of natural human sexual behaviour, but systematic monogamy and the encouragement of it is naturally wrong, as wrong as moralizing on the non monogamous lifestyle of adult individuals.

There is no scientific evidence available to assure than pigeons or any other species mate for life as part of their nature, but rather an overwhelming amount of information that clearly demonstrate than monogamy its just a social and political construction and that all species randomly do behave monogamous as I said before primarily for survival purposes. Ignorantly, but mostly maliciously creationists assure the contrary of this, even when they consider themselves intrinsically different than a pigeon, creationists use the apparent permanent monogamous behaviour of pigeons as an example of how we humans should sexually behave, the comparison is not just unscientific and ridiculous, but rather a sign of an unhealthy moralistic obsession with a natural acitivity as sex is, when people think to be a completely different species than the species they use as a moral example to implicate and illustrate how human sexual behaviour should be we cannot describe such a kind of person in any other way than as a barking mad.

Bravito’s first visit to the vet

Bravito's first visit to the vet

On 23/2/2012 Bravito got for the first time to the vet, it was pretty stressful for both of us, more for him I am sure of it, he got the paramyxo vaccine, one shot to combat and inflamation in his throat and 7 days of ampiciline also for the condition in his throat, he got one capsule of ampiciline there and I have to give him the next 6 at home one per day, yesterday I gave him the first one, I must confess it was scary because I think he can asphyxiate.

At the vet after the shots and the capsule he vomited, one thing  I noticed is that the capsules have the same size than for humans, which makes giving the cap very scary. Anyway now that I know he is healthy I will find for him a Partner to make his live more confortable.

He is broody at the moment and sits the whole day long on a fake egg. i will be posting the results of the partner story here. stay tuned

Bravito is Broody

Bravito building a nest

This Bravito in his broody mood, he is pretty excited as you can see on the video, his house is comfortable enough but he enjoys so much bringing this little pieces to build his nest to protect his fake egg, now I am just thinking how long must I wait to retire the egg when he gets tired and  sees it does not hatch.

He does not like the camera so much so it is pretty difficult to film him, enjoy the vid.

Bravito The Pigeon Building a Nest

Bravito is doing well

Bravito asleep at 18:25 08-02-2012

Bravito is doing well after his second day on a curative and preventive medicine for intestinal lung infections, pneumonia and cold, his symptoms are vague and this medicine is recomended by other pigeon owners who have used with success for many years.

The total lack in Holland  of (specialized and experienced) vets in treating pigeons together with the lack of a health insurance for pigeons is a major problem here for people who cares about them, In Holland like in many other countries dogs and cats  besides a  variaty of birds regarded as exotic like cacatoos and parakeets reing as pets, all of them and with well-earned merits enjoy worldwide a whole range of services, products, and again, a well-earned reputation that protects them.

This marketing fenomenon works the other way around for pigeons in paid media. I think using your personal experience and research openly can help create the social conscience that making available  health insurances for dogs, cats, parakeets and cacatoos excluding pigeons and other fine birds and creatures is terribly wrong, there  is of course a whole industry here, not just about the mentioned pets but about the particular exclusion of pigeons which are portrayed as a “nuisance” by the people who profit from them who use unhuman, expensive, and in a long term ineffective “control” methods, which ineffectivity is in fact the basis of their bussiness, killing pigeons is profitable, and to keep the business going on they need in a short period of time the “nuisance” back to start the profitable cicle all over again.

I could say than this is sad, but I rather will say it’s revolting, particularly when some people deny the facts and  when governnamental institutions with tax money  helps to widespread the “peth myth” against pigeons in the benefit of a handful of building owners and in detriment of thousands of misinformed citizens. Some people can pretend they always know better, even the facts of a country in which they never have been and which language they not even speak, rather than wasting time debating proven facts with them, activity that will not improve the situation of pigeons at all, let’s better all do something to change this situation. We all deserve a chance to well being and protection.

Bravito on medicine

Bravito on medicine

IMPORTANT NOTICE: The medicines mentioned in this blog are not a recomendation in any sense to anyone, please visit always and specialized vet in your area.

After seeing that Bravito has loose poops once in a while and been sneezing and scratching his head at night, I have put him on (gesazept), a medicine that works preventive and curative for different kind of intestinal, lung infections, pneumonia, and cold, I am using the curative dosis an monitoring him 24 ours a day, apart of these symptoms at night, during the day he behaves normal, eats well, fly around, and play with his toy, today he took a short bad again.

I am very carefull at this moment with the temperature inside the house because I have seen him trembling twice without any apparent reason, we have a very cold weather right now in Holland and the heating swichts on automaticaly at night and I let it that way the whole night long, I guess Bravito is getting used to the warmth and during the day when I put the heating off to ventilate the house he gets chill, I put the heating on now more often during the day and I am carefull with drafts.

I could not find an insurance for pigeons, it does not exists in Holland, only for other kind of small birds, vets specialized in pigeons are so rare in Holland that I have found just one already retired living 2 ours away from my city, he sells at the moment his own products online he seems to be a very famous person in the pigeon (post-racing) world but  he can not help me, unfortunately it seems that in Holland the well being of this beautiful creatures are considered nothing to care about.

One month with me

Bravito at home

tomorrow is a big day for us, we are celebrating his first month staying with me, I will buy some treats for him and spoil him more tha usual:). We are doing fine till now but the more I read the more I realize how vulnerable pigeons are just like we humans are, right now I am learning all I can to prevent what preventable is.

Today Bravito decided to take a a warm bath again, I never force him to take a bath I just prepare the bath for him and let him to choose to bath or not, I have discovered that at least for this moment he do not want more than one bath a week, maybe in the summer he would like more than that but for this moment I think is ok, I started adding 2 drops of biological appel cider vinegar to 100 mililiters mineral water (without carbonic) 3 times a week, this is good to prevent some diseases, I have notice that he does not drink much and I am at this moment monitoring how much water he takes per day.

Another thing I have discovered is that although he likes his nest very much he is not sleeping inside the nest but on a provisional ledge I built for him in the front of his nest to give him a better view, from the ledge he can see the kitchen, the living room, and all front windows of the house including the pigeons flying around the house you can see on the pictures what I mean.

Maybe this behaviour of sleeping outside the nest have to do with his feral nature where he had learnt to live always alert for danger, I hope he will  feel more secure in the future cause my goal is that he sleeps close to me this due to the fact that the sleeping rooms are the most beautiful part of the house they are always full of sunlight and warmer in the winter than the front of the house, and you can see from there lots of birds and pigeons flying around, and also because I want that he gets more close to me, more used to my company.
