Nosodes as an alternative to vaccines for Cats
The rationale for getting a vaccine is to defend your pet against the potential of getting any kind of deadly infections by pathogenic viruses that include such things as rabies. Vaccination is done by injecting a killed or modified virus that is live, which makes the immune system sensitive to that specific virus. However, these regular vaccines mandated by law tend to be stressful on the immune system. The repeated drug vaccines given to cats on a yearly basis do result in severe side effects. These vaccines are designed to stimulate the immune system, but do so in a very abnormal way that can overpower or perplex the immune system.
Nosode is a unique remedy in homeopathy that is created from the matter of a pet that is ill or a person that is ill. Nosodes makes the cat’s body sensitive to the specific virus that is fighting against, so that the cat’s immune system can react fast and efficiently to this natural exposure. The materials used in this process are usually from respiratory discharges or tissues that are diseased. This may sound disgusting, but during preparation, alcohol is also used that includes recurring dilution and succussion, which are essentially harmless substances, but produces powerful results. Nosodes are used in a prophylactic way to prevent disease and have been for many years by reputable homeopathic practitioners and holistic vets.
Homeopathic nosodes is the alternative to regular vaccine. The difference is that it is created from diseased products. The nosodes are arranged in a watered down and potent form similarly to any other homeopathic medicine. Bear in mind, that even though, it is created from diseased products, it is not infectious. In fact, it can be used in the prevention of viral infections.
The use of nosodes is usually limited to smaller animals such as kittens and puppies. This alternative vaccine is safe for any pet. However, it does not necessarily improve the health of your pet. In concert with assisting with the prevention of a particular viral disease, it is possible to use nosodes even after they are exposed to the virus. If it is given instantly after it has been exposed, and before any symptoms are able to develop, in most instances, these nosodes are able to successfully prevent the growth of clinical diseases.
Since we know that nosodes can be created from vaccines that contain the organism, it is safe to say that it is a counteractive process that seems to lessen the risk of the disease. The potential for a cat or other pet to be infected by this organism is low because the dilutive process that it goes through inactivates all practicable organisms. Nosodes appear to successfully work the most, homeopathically, at the time they are given close to or at the very time that the pet is exposed. The best defense against disease would be giving your cat Parvovirus Nosodes directly prior to and subsequent to a possible exposure.
Homeopathic nosodes can be used in cats that were never vaccinated to assist with protecting the animals against various infectious diseases such as FIP in feline creatures.
There are various benefits of using nosodes in place of drug vaccines. The first and most important benefit is that it has no side effects. The cat may have a small reaction to the vaccine, but such reaction is only temporary and will go away. In some cases, drug vaccines have created the same disease that it is trying to fight against with the vaccine; only to make your cat sick.
Taking homeopathic nosodes while the cat is newborn, is recommended because at that time, there are no interferences from maternal antibodies as there are with drug vaccines.
Additionally nosodes offer a wider protection against infection and is not restricted to just the precise infective agent contained in the homeopathic vaccine, but to other infectious and bacterial forms that are not integrated in the nosode. Infectious diseases such as distemper and parvovirus in cats or dogs generally cannot be cured with traditional medicine, but will respond favorably to homeopathic treatment such as nosodes.
