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

By Alfred J. Plechner, DVM with Martin Zucker

The Breakthrough Endocrine-Immune Balance Program

Veterinarian Al Plechner has identified an unrecognized endocrine-immune disturbance as a major cause of multiple disorders in dogs and cats. These disorders include allergies, epilepsy, viral diseases, inflammatory bowel, autoimmunity, cancer and more. In Pets at Risk the authors explain Dr. Plechner’s break-through clinical discoveries and his program for successfully treating a wide range of health problems. He has successfully treated tens of thousands of cats and dogs with this progam.

This informative book describes an unsuspected root cause of multiple diseases and symptoms and lays out the practical steps that pet owners and their veterinarians can take to correct this problem. An excellent resource for pet owners whose animal companions have chronic health problems or for pet owners interested in preventative health care.

Correction - “Pets At Risk” page 90, paragraph 3 should read: Depomedrol .1 [a decimal point] milligrams per one pound of body wt.

Endocrine-Immune Mechanisms in Animals and Human Health Implications

By Alfred Plechner, DVM

During 36 years of clinical work, veterinarian Dr. Al Plechner has identified an unrecognized endocrine-immune disturbance as a major cause of multiple disorders in dogs and cats. The condition, which may be either genetic or acquired, results in inhibited cortisol production and is expressed in a wide range of disorders: allergies, epilepsy, viral diseases, inflammatory bowel, autoimmunity, cancer, feline immune deficiency (FIV), and more.

Through extensive testing and long-term patient follow-up, Dr. Plechner has developed a treatment program that includes physiologic - not pharmacologic - hydrocortisone replacement therapy and, where indicated, thyroid to aid in metabolization. The program has proven extremely successful in thousands of cases. Among his FIV patients alone, about 70 percent go on to live long and healthy lives. Most clinicians consider cats suffering from the retrovirus, which is similar to HIV in humans, incurable.

In Endocrine-Immune Mechanisms in Animals
and Human Health Implications
Dr. Plechner examines the possible correlation between the dysfunction he has identified and successfully treated in animals and a similar condition in humans. He offers his observations for consideration in the hope that they may spark fresh insights into successfully treating patients with cancer, reproductive disorders, autoimmune disorders, and HIV.
