When we vaccinate from fear, we give our power away.” — Isabelle, Holistic Pet Nutritionist “Only 40% of vets follow the actual vaccine protocol. That’s why it’s so important to beinformed.”“We don’t need annual boosters. Immunity from core vaccines can last up to 15 years.”— via Dr. Ronald Schultz“A healthy immune system doesn't need to be told how to work—Mother Nature already designed it perfectly.”— Isabelle, Key Takeaways:  Vaccine protocols are often overused; immunity from core vaccines (e.g. parvo,distemper) can last up to 15 years. Only vaccinate healthy pets.

Don’t allow fear, shame, or pressure to dictate yourhealth decisions. Post-vaccine support like Adored Beasts “Rebalancer” and vitamins A, E, andC can mitigate reactions.Resources Mentioned: Dr. Jean Dodds’ vaccine protocol Dr. Ronald Schultz’s longevity research on inoculated immunity University of Guelph and Alta Vista Animal Hospital (for titer testing) Adored Beast Apothecary: Rebalancer & Liver Tonic Homeopathic vet contact (available via request through HoliRaw Nutrition)
