Loki
Hello, please consider this for "Your stories" -- my name is Silke, I live in Ontario , Canada.
On June 1st, 2015 my 2 /1 year old Husky / Shepherd Mix Loki received the Lyme disease vaccine (there was to be a booster a month later) -- 3 days later he suffered a grand mal seizure , that lasted about 50 seconds.
The next day our Vet. did blood work. They had also spoken to a vet. at Merck, the maker of the vaccine and they said it was highly unlikely that the vaccine caused the seizure. The blood work came back normal -- my dog is on high quality food, has always been healthy, is on no other toxins, like heartworm meds etc.
3 days after the first seizure he had another one . My vet. wanted to put him on phenobarb. - I declined -- we asked a holistic vet and she told us to give him Thuja for 3 days -- all this happened 2 weeks ago and he's been fine since taking the Thuja. - I would love to hear from you and your input. If you need more info , I can send a more detailed e-mail and pictures .
Thank you, Silke
Dear Silke
I am so sorry to hear of Loki’s vaccine reaction – and of course it WAS a vaccine reaction. Vaccines are known to cause encephalitis – it’s in the Merck Manual! ‘Encephalitis’ means inflammation of the brain and possibly lesions throughout the brain and central nervous system. That is also in the Merck Manual. Epilepsy is a ‘symptom’ of encephalitis, which is also in the Merck Manual.
So Merck telling you that a seizure three days after a vaccine is unlikely to be caused by the vaccine is, to put it politely, deception.
Added to this, millions of dollars have been paid to the parents through the Vaccine Damage Compensation scheme when their children became epileptic post-vaccination.
Epilepsy is a known vaccine reaction.
I am glad you have found a holistic vet to help you, and hope that Loki doesn’t get another vaccine, which could make matters worse.
The good news is that I have heard very good reports in terms of homeopathy successfully treating vaccine-induced epilepsy.
With kind regards
