DOG BITES
In the USA there are almost 5 million dog bites every year — over 13,000
every day. Extrapolated worldwide that’s a considerable problem and for
individuals it can be devastating. Children are often victims and often
suffer bites to the face.

In almost every case the dog is fed junk food. The question arises: Was
the diet the main factor influencing the dog’s behavior, a contributory
factor or not a factor at all? We can say that dogs fed junk food tend to
be excitable and harder to train. One significant trial found some Golden
Retrievers, normally a docile breed, attacked their owners when fed junk
food, but became docile when fed cooked lamb and rice. How might the dogs
have behaved if fed on raw natural food? Objective research is now an
urgent priority; thousands of victims every day need answers.

Le reste:

Hope this edition of the RMB Newsletter finds you in good form, fighting
the good fight.

The cover story, A debilitating case of disinformation, sheds some light
on the emerging pet-food industry/veterinary involvement with the medical
profession. I hope that you can make use of the links at the bottom of
the article to let the authorities know your opinions.

There’s some good news too.

The UK Raw Meaty Bones Support & Action group is doing terrific work
exposing the pet-food industry/veterinary alliance. The recently revamped
website www.ukrmb.co.uk contains chilling reminders of veterinary
attitudes and incompetence.

News from the US reported in the Sydney Morning Herald June 27, 2005
tells of pet-owners suing veterinarians for malpractice: ‘In Florida, for
example, Adam Riff is suing a vet for alleged negligence because his
sheepdog, Lucky, died after dental surgery. . . The biggest damages award
so far for veterinary malpractice is $US39,000 granted to Marc Bluestone
by a jury in Orange County, California, last year. His sandy-haired dog,
Shane - bought for $US100 at a local shelter - died of liver failure
following a misdiagnosis and $21,000 worth of treatment.’

What penalties will courts impose on vets for promoting and selling junk
pet food, the source of most dental and liver disease? What defense will
vets employ in an attempt to justify injuring their patients’ health and
misleading their clients? I hope that you can spread the word, even
launch a legal action. That way we may get some answers.

Wishing you and your animals the best of good health,

Tom Lonsdale

A DEBILITATING CASE OF DISINFORMATION
__________________________________________________________________________

We can, or at least should be able to learn from our mistakes and the
bigger the mistakes the bigger the lessons. For too long we’ve failed to
unite the medical, dental and veterinary professions under the banner
of ‘one medicine’ for the benefit of all Earth’s inhabitants. But before
embarking on such a noble cause we need to investigate and resolve a
debilitating case of disinformation.

A majority of veterinarians in the western world depend on junk food
induced ill health of pets and the sale of junk food in their waiting
rooms. Veterinary schools, propped-up by pet-food money, program their
students to ignore the origins of the dietary disease epidemics; to
disparage healthy natural diets and to promote junk food at every
opportunity. Veterinary associations fill their journals with pet-food
propaganda whilst barring healthy discussion of healthy options.
Effectively, then, the veterinary profession acts as a marketing arm of
the junk pet-food industry.

And effective marketing it is too. The public have been duped,
governments have been duped and now it seems it’s the medical
profession’s turn to be recruited into the scam. According to a 16 April
2005 editorial in the journals of both the British Medical Association
and the British Veterinary Association: ‘The BMJ and the Veterinary
Record plan simultaneous publication of theme issues exploring how the
two professions can collaborate for mutual benefit.’ After listing SARS,
potential bioterrorist attack and antimicrobial resistance as subjects
warranting a joint approach the British Medical Journal promotes pet
keeping and the Pet Food Manufacturers’ Association web site:
---------------------------------------------------------------
'With increasing urbanisation we can easily forget the extent to which
people depend on animals. In the developing world many people rely on
animals for food and transport (whether of people or goods)—and the
health of those animals can mean the difference between life and death.
Closer to home, livestock are important economically but animals are also
a source of companionship. Half of all households in the United Kingdom
own a pet (www.pfma.com/public/petownership_stats.htm), and many pets are
just as important as a family member or friend, sometimes more; for them,
the same level of health care is expected. Cost of treatment and
subsequent quality of life is an issue for the care of animals and
humans.

Doctors may not fully appreciate the importance of the relationship
between owners and their animals. This may be relevant when, for example,
advising immunocompromised patients of any risk from their pets, or
considering the implications of taking an elderly pet owner into care in
an environment where animals are banned. When advising patients about
owning pets, doctors now have to weigh up the risks of developing
allergies.'
--------------------------------------------------------------

Following the BMJ exhortations will doctors copy the vets and sell junk
pet food to their patients? No, it’s unlikely. If doctors collaborate
with and thus endorse vets they will automatically join the protective
cordon around the junk pet-food industry.

• Due to concerns about possible transmission of disease from pets
many doctors express reservations about pet keeping. If medical
opposition can be deflected and converted into enthusiastic acceptance
then pet-food sales will rise — hence the establishment of
university ‘research’ into the human animal bond and lavish international
conferences funded by the junk pet-food industry.

• For many years the tobacco industry escaped scrutiny in part
because the industry bought innocence by association with the medical
profession. As a strategy for buying time it worked well. Huge revenue
was generated before the doctors finally woke-up to their involvement
with disease promotion. For the junk pet-food industry, with annual
revenues of $30 billion, positive comments (and absence of negative
comments) in medical journals are priceless.

• The veterinary profession avoids research that might reflect
badly on the junk food producers. Independent medical and dental
researchers, if they knew the scope and potential for new research of
benefit to man and animals, could fill the void. However, if the junk
food/veterinary alliance maintains the fiction that all is well and under
control it’s less likely that independent-minded medical researchers will
venture onto veterinary turf.

• If the proposals, as published in the BMJ, come to fruition then
research teams of vets and doctors will likely become more common — and
it could be that the funds will come from confectionary giants Mars and
Nestlé, the world’s biggest junk pet-food producers. Research funds buy
silence, a precious commodity for junk food companies wanting to limit
knowledge of dietary disease affecting man and animals.

As citizens, doctors can join with the rest of us in decrying the mass
cruelty of forcing pets to consume products known to give rise to serious
ill health and death. Doctors may be appalled at the economic costs and
waste of resources, both human and environmental, which arise from the
junk pet-food industry. But it’s in the area of human health that doctors
are uniquely qualified and responsible for protecting the interests of
their patients.

In subtle and not so subtle ways the junk pet-food industry injures human
health. Let’s take a look at what’s known and in need of attention.

DOG BITES
In the USA there are almost 5 million dog bites every year — over 13,000
every day. Extrapolated worldwide that’s a considerable problem and for
individuals it can be devastating. Children are often victims and often
suffer bites to the face.

In almost every case the dog is fed junk food. The question arises: Was
the diet the main factor influencing the dog’s behavior, a contributory
factor or not a factor at all? We can say that dogs fed junk food tend to
be excitable and harder to train. One significant trial found some Golden
Retrievers, normally a docile breed, attacked their owners when fed junk
food, but became docile when fed cooked lamb and rice. How might the dogs
have behaved if fed on raw natural food? Objective research is now an
urgent priority; thousands of victims every day need answers.

WORKING DOGS
Human health and welfare sometimes depends on dog health — for instance
the health of assistance dogs, search and rescue dogs and bomb detection
dogs. As we know, dogs fed junk food are seldom truly healthy and
consequently perform below par.

Researchers studied a group of beagles that, over a period of months,
suffered from a progressive accumulation of dental tartar and
simultaneously lost the ability to detect odors. The dogs’ teeth were
cleaned and within one day their odor detecting abilities returned to
normal. Imagine the consequences if a junk-food-fed dog, its teeth
encrusted with tartar, failed to detect a terrorist bomb. (RMB Newsletter
4:2 www.rawmeatybones.com)

HUMAN ANXIETY
The pet-food industry spends lots of money on advertisements, on
university departments and international symposia promoting the
unqualified notion that dogs are good for human health and wellbeing.

In April 2004 The Sydney Morning Herald reported a study:
--------------------------------------------------------------
'Older Australians who own a pet are more likely to be depressed and in
poorer physical health than people who don't own pets, according to a
major new Australian study. Flying in the face of claims from the pet-
food industry, and others, the study shows pet ownership confers no
health benefits to older people.' [Parslow RA, et al, Gerontology, 2005
Jan-Feb;51(1):40-7]
--------------------------------------------------------------
Could this compromised mental and physical health be due, at least in
part, to the ill health of pets maintained on commercial diets? Could it
be due to the worry associated with escalating vet bills?

IMMUNE SYSTEM DEPRESSION
In 1995 the Journal of Small Animal Practice, journal of the British
Small Animal Veterinary Association, published results of my research on
dogs and cats affected by immune deficiency and diet-induced periodontal
disease. By cleaning the teeth and changing the diets the animals’ immune
systems bounced back to a much healthier state. (Lonsdale T, JSAP 1995
36, 542-546) The implications for immune system research in general, AIDS
research in particular and wider aspects of animal and human health are
immense.

Rather than promote further inquiry the Editor of the Journal of Small
Animal Practice bowed to pressure from angry veterinarians and banned
discussion within the pages of the Journal. The Editor also revoked
written undertakings and prevented re-publication of the paper — thus
stopping a wider readership from learning about and acting on the
implications.

The veterinary research community enjoys many privileges; they also have
obligations. When published research challenges established beliefs or
has the potential to transform the lives of millions researchers need to
promptly repeat the work to verify or refute the new information. In
2002, seven years after publication of the original paper, Professor Tony
Buffington, a spokesperson for American veterinary researchers,
stated: ‘I’ve seen the paper. I haven’t seen it reproduced by anyone
anywhere else.’ (Radio Interviews, www.rawmeatybones.com)

DOGS IN MEDICAL RESEARCH
New medical treatments and pharmaceuticals are often tested on dogs
before use on humans. Dogs used in medical research are invariably fed
junk food. I mentioned to one researcher, who was working on a new anti-
inflammatory drug, that most dogs fed commercial food are suffering from
gum inflammation (known to be linked to heart disease, stroke, cancer and
Alzheimer’s) and that my research showed that the so called normal blood
values could not be relied upon. He shrugged and said his research team
used more dogs in each experiment to help compensate for statistical
errors!

UNEXPLORED OPPORTUNITIES
The junk pet-food industry and its allies insist that dogs fed processed
food are the healthiest; whereas the opposite is the case. Dogs are
subject to a range of illnesses like ourselves — diabetes, arthritis,
kidney disease and cancer — and often show dramatic health improvements
when switched from junk food to a natural diet. Why do previously sick,
debilitated animals, in the space of a few days, become ‘like puppies
again’? The question needs to be asked because the biological mechanisms
could have dramatic implications for human diets and health.

There are enough known junk pet-food issues to mobilize an army of
medical and dental researchers working in collaboration with
veterinarians. First, though, veterinarians must desist from their folly,
they must turn their backs on their pet-food paymasters and resolve to
atone for past mistakes. The doctors and their journals could play a
valuable part. They could help transform the health of the veterinary
profession and thus provide the foundations for a medical, dental and
veterinary collaboration — for the benefit of all Earth’s inhabitants.

En Français svp Madame ?

:toutou qui fait une belle et remue de la queue:

[Invité]

en gros:

le Wiskass rends les chats malins...
le Alpo rends les chiens malins et
le Mc Do me rends comique! :geek:

hahahah!

le cru rends les chiens gentils.....

[Jaelle1 0]

Le premier bout, en gros, ça parle du nombre phénoménal de morsures, et qu'évidement, la grande majorité de ces chiens étaient nourris à la moulée, comme la majorité des chiens tout court.

Il soulève la question à savoir si le comportement du chien est influencé par l'alimentation, surtout que l'on sait que le junk food chez les enfants influence beaucoup le comportement, et pas en bien...

Une étude a été fait avec des goldens retrievers qui ont attaqués leur propriétaire alors qu'ils étaient nourris à la moulée mais qu'ils étaient beaucoup plus dociles alors qu'ils étaient nourris avec de l'agneau et du riz.

Il dit que les chiens nourris à la moulée sont plus excitables et plus difficiles à entraîner.

[Invité]

Jaëlle tu as oublié le bout où ca dit: L'histoire du caniche blanc qui avait un caca pris dans son poil qui s'est transformée en Joe la tronçonneuses...


Je trouve drôle des études qui affirment des choses un peu légertes.. un chien nourri avec de la moulée de mauvaise qualité serait plus enclin a la violence... Bien en fait, on parle pas trop de la qualité d'éducation???? je suppose que le maître qui donne du "moins cher possible" fait aussi peu d'effort en matière d'éducation... Je suppose! Moi je crois que c'est un tout!

investir sur son chien c'est parrallèle a la bouffe, au temps passé a le "soigner" a l'amuser, et a l'éduquer... Moi quand je mange mal je me sens un peu molo, un peu mal dans ma peau et toute pesante... je suppose que la moulée se digère longement et donne se feeling au chiens???? une montée d'énergie dans les premières heures et hop le gros ventre plein pendant les 12 heures suivantes.... c'est plus ça le problème a soulever non???

[Invité]

des etude de ce genre non rien de scientifique , donc non valable , il est facile de prendre des etudes quel qu'on que pour apuyer n'inport quel theorie ,c'est un ensemble de causse qui fait qu'un chien soit agressif , comme un ensemble de causse qui fait que de jeunnes enfant devient des tueur ,des bandit ,

[Invité]

Mes chats sont nourris au Whiskas et ne sont pas malins.

Tite-Fille, caniche à merde est nourri cru et c'est une chipie et Canelle aussi, Tite-Fille croque le chat qui passe a sa portée et grogne si elle voit une mouche ou si quelque chose la dérange.

Cela dépends du tempérament du chien et de son éducation, selon moi.

[Invité]

Donc,

Isa prouve bien que la bouffe bonne ou mauvaise a rien à voir avec la "déplaissance "des animaux de compagnie... faites-vous une idée vous même sur la cause de l'atttitude de ses ti-monstres.. hihiihihihiihihi!

J't'aime Isa...... :13: :13: :13:

P.S. Moi je mange beaucoup de Mc Do... S'pour ça je me trouve drôle!!!

[Invité]

J'ai oublié de spécifier que Tite-Fille est plus méfiante envers les enfants que Canelle, même si elles mangent toutes les deux du cru.

Moi aussi je doute fortement de ce genre d étude !
J avais un chien agressif , et je n ai plus de chien agressif , pourtant nourrit totalement moulée.....

Je crois qu il faut en prendre pi en laisser avec toutes sortes d etudes et toutes sorte de livre.....

A force d etre trop convaincu de tout ce qui s ecrit , de lire tout les auteurs , de travailler selon la methode decrite dans plein de livre , ont s'eloigne de la réalité qui ce vie tout les jours et bien souvent ont s'eloigne de la vrai pratique , soit le tout simple bon sens :43:

[Invité]

Merci Tessa de si bien exprimé ce que je ressent

[Jaelle1 0]

Faites un peu de recherche, le nombre de liens avec une mauvaise alimentation et les problèmes comportementaux sont nombreux chez l'humain, comme les produits transformés et très sucrés et l'hyperactivité, ou la consommation de lait et l'autisme.

Pour les chiens, il est évident selon moi qu'un chien ayant une bonne digestion rapide, et bénéficiant d'un bon exercise de mastication tous les jours est plus calme et mieux dans sa peau. Sans parler de tous les agents de conservation et produits ajoutés pour augmenter l'appétance...

[Tessa111 0]

Citation :

consommation de lait et l'autisme

Et pourtant le lait est naturel

Il existe aussi une maladie chez l humain , ou le fait de manger des protein detruit sont cerveau... j ai un client atteint de cette maladie.
Dans sont cas manger de la viande peu le rendre tres agressif , mais faut pas oublier qu il est atteint d une pathologie ....

Malgré les recherches fait sur le net etc , y en as d autres qui disent le contraire
Nos grand parent nourissait avec ce qui restait , et les mauvaises partie de viande que nous ne voulions pas manger , et pourtant mon grand pere a deja eu un chien agressif.....
Sur tout les chiens que j ai eu , deux etait potentiellement agressif , un a cause de la cosanguinité et l autre vous la connaissez ..... et ils ont tous été nourrit moulée .

Faut quand meme faire attention a ce genre d etude car oui l education compte enormement ......

[Invité]

bon là je vais faire la police... Jaëlle a raison et Tessa aussi.

Faut bien manger et bien se tenir;
Un esprit sains dans un corps sains;
Reste toujours les exceptions;
se lever tôt, brosser les dents......

UN TOUT!

:43:

[Invité]

Oui, l'alimentation a un rôle à jouer, mais il ne faut pas non plus généraliser.

Certains chiens seront affectés, d'autres pas... les humains aussi.

le lait et l'autisme??? première fois que je l'entend celle-là.

Je trouve toujours drôle que le lait soit souvent le grand coupable de bien des maux.Moi je suis bien contente qu,il aide mes os à ne pas devenir des éponges et de ressembler à un accordéon à 65 ans (si quasimodo avait bu du lait il ne se serait pas fait skipper la belle Esméralda par le prince qui avait le dos droit comme une barre )

Des fois je trouve qu'ils font de drôles d'étude pas vraiment significatives et qu'il nous interprètent chacun à leur sauce.Ils aurait aussi pu calculer le pourcentage de chien ayant le même horoscope et qui présentait des signes d'agressivités autant nourri au cru qu'a la schnoutt.

J'ai déja lu dans une revue scientifique que les condoms pouvait diminuer l'asthme Oui!Oui! (Je sais, dans notre tête on visualise le gars avec le condoms sur la tête mais non c'est pas ça!)Le port du condoms évite les petits dégâts sur les draps .Ces petits dégâts sont un milieu de vie de choix pour les acariens qui causent des troubles respiratoires aux gens astmatique,voilà!

Juste pour vous dire que des fois les étude sont poussé un peu il qu,il faut les prendre un peu avec un grain de sel.

[Jaelle1 0]

C'est ce que je fais, je prend le tout avec un grain de sel, comme Julie dit, dans le fond, c'est de faire attention à notre santé et à celle de nos animaux en achetant des aliments le plus sains possible! :43:

[Invité]

j'ai un de mes fils qui etait iperactif , j'ai eu la chance de tomber sur un medecin a l'esprit ouvert , il ma conseiller d'arreter tout jus colorer artificelment ou autre aliment , reduir la quantiter de produit laitier a du fromage uniquement un yaourt ocasionelment , 15 minute 2 fois par jours un bonne course a piedset 2 semaine plus tard mon fils n'avais plus aucun probleme de concentration ,de stress , d'activiter or de controle , tout est une question de gros bon sence comme dis tessa :43:

[gin1 0]

Personnellement j'ai vu le comportement de Strato changé avec du mauvais stock de nourriture crue. Il était devenu nerveux et tout s'est replaçé avec une meilleure viande.

MOI tu as du aimé la nouvelle cette semaine sur le lait qui diminue le cancer du sein.

[Invité]

Hein, Mini-moi ( no6) a des seins qui lui pousse?????

Je doute qu'il attape ce type de cancer... Il est si bien allaité... et tout joufflu!

[Invité]

de tout facon je croi qu'il y a plus grand chose de naturelle dans tout la bouff , la viande et legume sont genethiquement modifier ou plien de pesticide d'ormone chimique , meme les vache devient steril et il y a de plus en plus de femme steril , bien sur elle mange du bon boeuf , notre nouriture est en train de nous exterminer a petit feux , cancer qui augmente en fleche et tout le reste
