Pets at Risk: From Allergies to Cancer, Remedies for an Unsuspected Epidemic

Dr. Plechner has saved many animals for me over the past fifteen years, despite the fact that I live in Italy and he practices in Los Angeles! He is a true genius, and his is a system of genius for both preventing animals from getting sick, and saving them if they do. I can vouch for the fact that what he is saying is true. The problem is usually with getting vets who have conventional training to realize that Dr. Plechner, not their vet school training, is right! It can take years to break through vet's mental blocks, and get them to see the light. There may be no double blind trials of Dr. Plechner's work, but we have managed to reproduce his results many times far away here-- in Italy--and Dr. Plechner has been right absolutely every time. The conventional veterinary establishment has not further researched his work, because if you do what Dr. Plechner tells you to, you will spend far less money on veterinarians over the lifetime of your animal, and your animal will enjoy far better heath than it would have otherwise. I contend that Dr. Plechner's work has been proven "double blind" this way-- that anyone can accomplish the same results-- the numbers on the lab tests move the way he says they should, and the results we get in the animals far away here in Italy confirm that what he is saying is absolutely true. My animals have never lived so long before as they have on what, for convenience, we call, "the Plechner Protocl." Susie the cat got to 22 or 23. As I write, Ol' Billy Cat sits beside me at 18, and he has survived "the impossible." The vets cannot believe that Ol' Billy manages to purr on. The vet at the medical school had no hope for him. Nattie, another of our feline loves, has made it to 19, thanks to Dr. Plechner. This is the "must have "a book for saving the animal you love. And thank god, I got my own doctor to listen, though it took a fight, because the "Plechner Protocol saved my life--and my husband's, and my mother's, who reached 93 with all her wits, and sharp vision, thanks in part to Dr. Plechner's famous "Plechner Protocl." His system for keeping animals healthy, and saving them when they are ill, is the ultimate blend of using all the resources we have--modern lab testing, but then applying common sense, a healthy diet, a wholistic way of thinking--learning how to keep the hormonal "command" system in balance, which helps keep the immune system in balance, which keeps the fundamental biochemistry which sustains health in balance, and avoids illness. Thanks to Dr. Plechner, who is also, "the vet who never stops caring" evryone in this household has lived a longer and healthier life. Unfortunately, they broke the mold for the world's best veterinarian when they made Dr. Plechner, but at least you and your vet can learn his brilliant system for keeping your animals from getting sick. Avoid the bankrupting vet bills! Search for the vets who are open-minded and really love animals, and who, as Dr. Plechner says, "care more about curing your animal that curing their wallets.". Arrive with "Pets at Risk" in hand. In "Pets at RIsk", Dr. Plechner will share his fifty years of knowledge, his experience gained from working on a hundred thousand animals, and teach you and your vet how to create a healthy diet for your pet, and keep your pet healthy, instead of having it sicken and die before its time, like so many animals do today. This is the most important vet book on the market--the literally, the "can't live without it" vet book.

July, 2013: My new Sheltie puppy had extreme food sensitivity, IBS and chronic diarrhea from the time I got him. He had been seeing my regular vet for several months, and after ruling out parasites, five rounds of antibiotic treatments, and trying several different diets, we were getting nowhere. After a chance meeting with a local dog trainer, she told me about this book and referred me to an immunologist in our area that works with Plechner animals. The results of his EI-1 test were shocking: extremely high cortisol (indicating defective/bound cortisol), high estrogen, low thyroid, and VERY low immune values. After a week on the drug protocol and changing to a diet recommended by this vet, his stool was normal for the first time since getting him at 11 weeks old (he is six months old now). We will re-test him in a week to see how his hormone levels have improved, and I can post another update. Be prepared for a backlash from regular vets and breeders. This puppy's breeder is in denial, saying the condition is not "real" and that my new vet is a "quack". Interestingly enough, she had never heard of Plechner's and so far has refused to read the book. She said she called every vet and specialist in her area, and no one had heard of it, so it must not be "real". You just can't argue with the blood panel results and the subsequent improvement in his IBS and stool after going on the drug protocol! Thank you, thank you, thank you Dr. Plechner!!!March, 2014: So an update is long overdue. My Sheltie is doing fantastic! Early on, we were able to find a diet he could tolerate (Canine Caviar-Venison). We have re-tested him twice since his initial testing, and his hormone levels and immune levels have continued to improve (trending towards normal). His last test was in October of 2013, and his immune levels were still below the normal range (but much improved). I plan on re-testing him this April, and based on his lack of symptoms, I would expect to see further improvement. His stool is completely normal now, and he is now in agility training and doing very well. Just recently, I decided to add some of the ingredients from the home cooked diet I am feeding one of my other dogs, and so far, he has tolerated everything I have given him (my other dog has liver disease and is eating a hepatic diet). This is huge, because he had extreme food sensitivity when I first got him. Please keep in mind - most Plechner dogs with food sensitivity are NOT able to venture from their strict diets. Another thing I think has helped him is adding Transfer Factor to his diet (a supplement for immune compromised animals and recommended by my vet): http://www.amazon.com/Transfer-Factor-Canine-gram-servings/dp/B0002TR7S2/ref=sr_1_1?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1395814028&sr=1-1&keywords=transfer+factor+dog. The only residual issue I have with him is heat sensitivity and somewhat low stamina, so I am cognizant of this when he is training (I give him lots of breaks and I plan on getting him a cool (gel) coat for summer). I will post another update after his next testing.

I love this book and his first, PET ALLERGIES. I ordered them both for myself, read them cover to cover, it's a quick read, and now I keep an extra set to give to friends or ANYONE I happen to hear of that may be having a problem with their pet. My peke is a textbook case for the allergies and dermatitis hair loss. I spent quite a bit of $, not to mention the anxiety of watching your animal sneezing, scratching, gasping for air, and hair loss so bad it resembled mange, but was not and was a mystery to the vet. I came across this book while trying to do some research on my own and I did everything Plechner advised regarding diet and supplements, and also had the vet test for the blood work he suggests. He is now on a low dose of prednisone, his hair has grown back and all of his allergies and respiratory problems are under control and there is no scratching. Not to mention that he has the energy he had years ago although he is now 8. I just wish I had this information sooner. It may not apply to every animal, but it's worth a read if you have an animal and want to get to the root of it's problems and not just be treating symptoms. I'm a believer.

The information was good and writing simple to understand. He repeats himself, I suppose for those who skim?Anyone who has problems with their pets, that the vet treats the symptoms, but never can explain a clear cause. Thats almost everyone out there isn't it?I have read, and highlighted the book, and now my vet has it so we can go on from there. I will let you know if we can cure my cat of cancer and get 10 more happy years like the author promised.

I look forward to reading this as have a little dog with allergies and one who has recently gone blind :(I had to contact Peggy in customer services about something and she’s been great. Book is also in immaculate condition - Thank you

This gave me an insight into an area of healing which I have been working in lately. It is easy to read and understand and could solve a lot of problems for many animals and their owners.

The Plechner method of curing animals by balancing their hormones and giving them a good diet and minerals and digestive enzymes when needed, works. Not only is it helpful for every disease I have encountered in my dogs and cats, it also makes them live much longer. Dr. Plechner gets my vote for the vet who accomplishes the most with the simplest means.

I would recommend this book, it really does make sense! This book is an easy read. Too bad more vet's don't know about this and practice it. I will be offering it to my vet to read for sure.

Great, informative book! I think it would be useful information for all veterinarians to have, and plan on giving my vet a copy.
