I am a vet In South West London.
I...Dear Beverley,<br /><br />I am a vet In South West London.<br />I have found my way to your blog kind of by chance but I cannot believe the chain of events that have led me here over the last few hours. <br />It begins with a client showing me some literature on CV247. We have just diagnosed their dog with a malignant mammary tumour and they are keen to try anything that may help without putting her through more tests and aggressive surgery. I have always had an open mind when it comes to alternative therapies. Having lost my Dad only a few months ago to a very aggressive cancer I remember trawling through countless websites researching into anything that might help him as conventional medicine had failed.<br />Throughout my career as a vet, I have always had an open mind with regards to alternative medicine. When people ask me I always tell them about my beautiful Lady.- My dog growing up. As far as I remember she never really went to the vet until she reached about 15. She suddenly became very ill when I was about 16 and we took her to literally the nearest vet to us. It was John Carter on Kenton road and it was in the year 1992 I think. I was sure he would recommend euthanasia as she was so poorly and was too weak to even walk into the surgery. He didn't and instead gave her an injection of 'something' and sent us home with strict instructions on a diet that included liver and heart. At the time I had desires to be a vet so I took up the duties of nursing my Lady. We had to go back to the surgery every day. Initially she didn't seem to improve but I remember one evening going with the intention of saying goodbye to Lady. Mr Carter gave her an injection and she snapped at him. Lady NEVER snapped at anyone and we saw this as a sign that she wasn't ready to leave us. Anyway to cut a long story short, Lady slowly improved until I can honestly say that she was like a puppy again for a whole year. I can't remember exactly the details but we visited Johns surgery several evenings in the week. I don't know what he was giving her but vaguely recalling a pink solution, I would assume it was Vit B obviously amongst other things. I remember the waiting room always being full of people with their pets having travelled from miles to see Mr Carter. We did not know of his reputation but I will always be grateful for the day we turned up at HIS surgery, purely by chance ....<br />He was an inspiration to me as a vet and I always find myself telling people of the story of my Lady and the vet John Carter.<br />I had no idea of the significance of this until today.<br />After speaking with this client, I began looking into this CV247. As soon as I read the name JOhn Carter, I was sure it must have been the same John Carter I will always remember so fondly with regards to my dear Lady. And having read more, I now know it is but cannot believe it has taken until now for me to realise exactly how important and special this vet really was.<br />I just had to share that with someone. I will always remember what he did for my Lady and also so many others.Nicky Gurrinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14887404470135795478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457786458429416955.post-83672488894710727292014-03-08T21:15:00.056+00:002014-03-08T21:15:00.056+00:00the kennel club keep banging on about the assured ...the kennel club keep banging on about the assured breeders but choose to ignore that many breeders have done more than the scheme requires for years before the scheme was thought up and still do, without feeling the need to pay exhorbitant fees to the kennel club for their endorsement.the registered assured breeders are referred to as volume breeders but,no matter how good their husbandry breeding for sale is "FARMING" requiring a quick turnover conveyor belt style and these farmers cannot be as diligent about where their puppies go because they can't keep them indefinitely waiting for the right homes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457786458429416955.post-26223764254040952522014-02-18T23:23:27.470+00:002014-02-18T23:23:27.470+00:00I would like to nominate the British Chihuahua Clu...I would like to nominate the British Chihuahua Club - Rescue. http://www.the-british-chihuahua-club.org.uk/Rescue/InterestAdopt.php<br /><br />We were lucky enough to have adopted out little girl from the, They do not charge a adoption fee and everything done on a donation<br /><br />They do terrific work and never turn a dog away.Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00671703716460227594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457786458429416955.post-49582654043689355122014-02-05T15:51:17.991+00:002014-02-05T15:51:17.991+00:00I think Craig Marsden deserves a medal he runs 8 B...I think Craig Marsden deserves a medal he runs 8 Below Husky Rescue UK he makes sure people who are wanting their dog revoked he will pick the dog up & make sure the dogs are placed in foster care & not in kennels .

John Carter was a forward-thinking, conscientious, compassionate veterinary surgeon. I cannot speak too highly of him. He treated my cat, Lucretia, KNOWING I didn't have a lot of money. He charged me £20 per session for consultation and treatment. He didn't charge much for his services at all. He was all about saving animals whilst also avoiding animal suffering. The animals always came first! This man will never be forgotten by me. <br /><br />He developed this treatment by studying cancer and treating cancer-stricken animals. He was against vivisection, he was the font of all veterinary knowledge, he also encouraged me in my work too, never once denigrated me, only ever encouraged me, in fact, there was some resonance between us. <br /><br />In his waiting room, I saw dogs and cats from all over UK who should've been dead from cancer long ago but who were happy and healthy. Their own vets were astounded! CV247 is administered with high doses of vitamin C and one must follow a strictly organic diet with no salt. Unfortunately, feeding Lucretia was a problem b/c the only organic food available was not only not very palatable but it contained salt. Lucretia did not make it. RIP Lucretia, still sadly missed, my beautiful spikey black kitty xxx<br /><br />CV247 was also trialed in NHS hospitals on end-stage lung cancer patients. The results were quite astounding. CV247 does not get rid of the cancer, it seems to stop the cancer from growing and in Lucretia, when she was eating organic raw meat, I observed myself the shrinking of the tumour. She had a rare form of nasal cancer. V rare. Untreatable.<br /><br />Now John Carter is gone - a light has gone out. There are not many vets who match this unique, amazing, intelligent, wonderful man. <br /><br />Rest in Peace John Carter - Gone but never forgotten.Sharonhttps://www.facebook.com/sharkitty.scotlandnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457786458429416955.post-9672563138718895722013-07-25T07:34:24.258+01:002013-07-25T07:34:24.258+01:00You are innovative and will be inspirationial at t...You are innovative and will be inspirationial at this x Wendy P Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457786458429416955.post-2658473152276050362012-11-14T17:25:58.601+00:002012-11-14T17:25:58.601+00:00I love that pic of the dog on the toilet reading t...I love that pic of the dog on the toilet reading the mag, just classic.<br /><br />I'm gonna share that if that's ok?<br /><br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />DavidDavid Leehttp://www.wuffstuff.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457786458429416955.post-4035180785950691072012-11-01T22:36:09.944+00:002012-11-01T22:36:09.944+00:00I've always loved the Bully on the Bog, still ...I've always loved the Bully on the Bog, still my faveChapstaffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16642615396582620026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457786458429416955.post-3890021192163116752012-10-28T17:01:44.720+00:002012-10-28T17:01:44.720+00:00A very skillful balancing article that all CM foll...A very skillful balancing article that all CM followers should read. As I LOVE dogs and walking I set up my own dog walking/sitting service when I found it impossible for this 'old girl' to gain new employment. In the seven months since I started I've studied many canine training and behaviour sites to make sure that I was delivering my service in a caring and positive way using reward and praise for good behaviour and doing my best to ignore the bad (which I feel in my gut is right). Although I had linked to CM's 'twit' site I'll now be removing myself and agree with every comment submitted. Particularly the comment about 'Jimmy Savile' - puts it all in a nutshell really. Thanks for opening my eyes Beverly - I'm learning all the time and the dogs that I've had from pups are all wonderful, so I'm doing something right :)Maria Maloneyhttp://mariasdogwalkingservice.weebly.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457786458429416955.post-857846272474123542012-10-28T16:55:57.555+00:002012-10-28T16:55:57.555+00:00Can I just make it clear that ALL ASSISTANCE DOGS ...Can I just make it clear that ALL ASSISTANCE DOGS ARE TRAINED USING KIND POSITIVE BASED METHODS ONLY. <br /><br />How very dare he say that disabled people would find an abusive electric collar useful.

I have watched many Millan vids and they all have a set pattern. First stare at the dog to frighten it, then give the dog a sly kick or jab to wind it up, next point the dog at a target, usually another dog, then Millan can employ his 'quick fix'. Set formula that doesn't treat a dog as an individual. Ooh my dog jumps on the sofa, he's trying to dominate me, Ooh I must eat first or my dog will think he's more important then me, (Nobody has told my two thick mutts obviously as they always eat before I do). <br />All in all, this creep is outdated and dangerous. Ask any victim of domestic violence if they feel 'calm and sumissive' after a beating, then substitute those words for 'terrified and frightened'.Queeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14576753053400297899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457786458429416955.post-16169282697803503702012-10-11T22:56:58.302+01:002012-10-11T22:56:58.302+01:00On the subject of TV programmes, it was worrying t...On the subject of TV programmes, it was worrying to see BBC's Countryfile (7.10.12 39.20mins) showing a cup of antifreeze being used to trap insects with no warnings being given as to how toxic this is to domestic pets and wildlife. There was no protection over the cup and while Adam's Farm might be private land it is worrying that others may try the same experiment in parks etc without realising how deadly the results could be. It would be great if you could raise this with the BBC and try and get them to issue a warning ASAP. I have written but it will probably have more impact coming from you.<br />Best wishes<br />JuliaJulianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457786458429416955.post-15657382076078163732012-10-05T12:55:57.966+01:002012-10-05T12:55:57.966+01:00I have to say that this is a wonderful thing you a...I have to say that this is a wonderful thing you are doing. We recently adopted our first bulldog. She wasn't purebred (Rottweiler in the mix 6 generations ago) but we fell in love with her anyway. Now I'm very thankful for that mix. Not only is she rather athletic with straight strong legs, but her chest isn't anywhere near as wide and she has a snout (still wrinkled but no giant roll). She has no problems breathing (though she still snores and has gas) and can wear out our Siberian husky and our terrier mix long before she's worn out. She's an amazing family dog and loves to snuggle. She's only 8 months old now and a sturdy 40lbs but I imagine, full grown, she'll look much like these VBs. please continue the good work. It's horrible what the bulldog has become over the years.
