I did not disaparage veterinarians in any way -- I presented some posits that are currently calling yearly vaccines into question and addressed the new-wave food fads.

I have experienced ONE case in 39 years of gross incompetence in a vet - I did not sue, I used another.

My experience with all FIVE (total in 39 years that have been used extensively) has been profoundly trusting, sharing, teaching and emotionally traumatic for each of us, at times ... because we share mutual respect, mutual social mores ... and mutual ETHICS.

Per usual, if I open my mouth (through my keyboard) I am the bitch of the world and chastised for daring to share ...

I just included you in the conversation because you had responded to me... don't over-react now... no one condemned you, we are just talkin'.
