The complete herbal book for the dog.

In health and sickness.

Ive read this book for 15yrs and this is were I read about distemper jabs slowing greyhounds down.after the author asked a top greyhound trainer the question.

Here's a link to the author it's well worth a read and well worth buying the book.http://www.whole-dog-journal.com/issues/9_7/features/Holistic_Pet_Care_15822-1.html

Is that the book you were talking about in the other thread King ?

I've seen the 2 hour long documentary on her called "Juliette of the herbs".

One of the best documentaries I've ever seen, fascinating.

But, she was no working dog person and if I remember correctly I think she was a vegetarian. She also had her own family of Afghan hounds and used to watch them for hours to see what herbs they ate to cure their ailments.

But how she can say that inoculating a dog slows them down is beyond me.

I rarely bother to disagree with anybody but I have to put in a word of warning about the woman' s "cures". I read the book years ago and tried some of her remedies but soon gave up. It is no substitute for proper vet care. It is full of"somebody said" and old wives' tales which she repeats without any hard evidence. Sure some of the old remedies are useful and I will use herbal medicine for some minor ailments but her book went to a charity shop I am afraid.

She isn't saying it herself Neil.she says that a greyhound trainer told her this.

Yea it is the book mate.

So if a greyhound trainer told her that feeding your dog carrot tops will make it go around a second faster would she put that in a book ... And would you believe it ... The greyhound trainer could be a complete idiot as far as we know who by the sounds of it was talking out of his Arse ... If there is no concrete evidence then it's not for me .........

[king 12,030]

This is what's written in the book socks.i don't race greyhounds and never will race them I'm not interested in racing greyhounds.im only saying what the woman has said.

Yes he could be a complete idiot socks and yes he could be talking out of his arse.

But let's try and imagine for once what if the trainer was a very well respected trainer in the greyhound world.

And was talking the truth.

Like I said I don't know her or the dog trainer but not everything written in books is bullshit.there could be some truth in what she says.and yes she may be full of shit and lies.

Who knows.

[neil cooney 10,416]

It's a pity that she put that in her book. The documentary really is very good and interesting.

[Somewhereyournot 1,117]

If it was a fact surely the greyhound trainer name will be mentioned

[fireman 11,389]

I have had that book for 20 years or more,it's advice got my lurcher through parvo a couple of years ago when the vet said pts and many moons ago i got a dog through distemper with it's advice.I take my dogs to vets but i sure as shite don't take their words as gospel,but i also don't take this womans words for total truth either but a lot of what she says does make common sence.Most modern drugs are based on old herbal ones or herbal extrac's so to totaly knock it all is a tad foolish imo...

[king 12,030]

The dogs you got through parvo and distemper had they been vaccinated fireman.

And we'll done for getting the dogs through it mate,

[king 12,030]

What was the name of the documentary Neil.i would like a watch of that.

He was a top trainer he would be happy to be named about his revelation lol ... Just think about it logically how can a jab against a diseas as a puppy possibly slow down your dog as an adult ??? All my greyhounds were jabbed and they held a few track records and won some top open races so the Jabs certainly didn't slow them down .......

[Raymond 618]

If the fella was that good at the grey hounds why didnt he stop jabbing his dogs so they would run faster and winn races with them running faster. How many trainers are there,how many greyhounds have been practically tested this way and proven that when they where jabbed they ran slower. Did they run slower for the rest of there lives or did the effects of the jabs slowing the dogs down wear off. Did the trainer still race his slowed down dogs or was he winning races with these slower dogs.

Right think about this logically socks what you are saying.you can't say the jabs never slowed your dogs down.because you never ran your dogs without being jabbed.
