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.
