There are major differences between being a clinician and being a scientist, and there should be a mutual respect between both, which often is not the case. What is the difference? A clinician, according to Wikipedia, is a health care practitioner that works primarily as a care giver with a patient in a hospital, clinic, […]
ABSTRACT 33 cases were diagnosed, by board certified veterinary ophthalmologists with canine patients that have Sudden Acquired Retinal Degeneration Syndrome (SARDS). Request was made, for the convenience of publication, to reduce the number of SARDS cases to only 10. I have listed those 10 cases but have also listed the other 23 cases that indicate […]
[This is a guest post.] Update: Beanie started the Plechner SARDS protocol the end of July 2015. Although many of Dr. Plechner’s patients recover swiftly, it has taken around 5 months for a near total recovery; with bits of improvement every week or two (so don’t give up). Beanie will be 12 in May. His distance […]
The world of medicine is changing for both people and for animals. Merely trying to treat the effects of multiple diseases in medicine is not working. The time has come to begin to test and treat for the cause of disease and not merely treat the effects of disease. It seems apparent why many animals are […]
What is a xenoestrogen? The word xeno means alien or strange. According to Wikipedia, “xenoestrogens are a type of xenohormone that imitates estrogen. They are either synthetic or natural chemical compounds”. It is becoming more and more apparent every day that humans and animals are being exposed to many different xenoestrogen products that may cause […]
Before we even get started, there needs to be a realization in medicine that the endocrine system regulates the immune system. Elevated estrogen has always been an important concern for MD’s and less of a concern for DVM’s, even if the same catastrophic diseases seem to be related to elevated total estrogen. Unfortunately, only ovarian estrogen […]
For many years, Depo-Medrol has been used in various amounts dictated by the disease of the animal. The medical profession knows to use smaller amounts of Depo-Medrol for allergies, but when it comes to more severe canine and feline diseases, such as very severe allergies, autoimmune diseases and some forms of cancer, increased amounts of […]
There is definitely a simple answer to this question. I am sure your veterinarian has checked all the possibilities that might be causing this, and if nothing has helped, this may be new information that will help. Many years ago, I completed a study regarding the location and concentration of mast cells. Mast cells contain histamine, which […]
By David Spangenburg Dr. Plechner once had a consultation client, who called him one evening. She sounded desperate. It seems that her vet refused to do the blood draw and to send it in to National Veterinary Diagnostic Services lab for Endocrine-Immune testing. As it happens, he’d never heard of the Plechner Syndrome. They didn’t cover […]
I recently read an exchange at SARDS Dogs Adrenal Exhaustion (a Yahoo group) and would like to share it here. Paula’s SARDS dog was treated with my protocol, which resulted in eyesight return for Butter P. To achieve the best results using Plechner’s syndrome the following must be taken into consideration: How well the SARDS […]
