FIP

Postby AngelaS on Sat Jan 02, 2010 11:15 pm

Some of you may have seen my other thread asking if anyone had any knowledge of Ambertech who manufacture Kitty Distempaid, Vibactra and Parvaid which are products for treating distemper and parvo. In particular, Vibactra is a natural powerful antibiotic which is claimed to kill viruses which no other antibiotic can do.

I have been in correspondence with Wolf Creek http://wolfcreekranch1.tripod.com/heal_ ... emper.html who are a rescue/shelter in the States who use and distribute Ambertech products. Their claims for these products are outstanding and I have received from them a very long list of people to contact who say that the product works and that distemper and parvo kittens and puppies recover within 48 hours from commencement of Vibactra. Moreso, Wolf Creek say that they have not lost a single kitten or puppy since using the products. Interesting stuff!!!

Anyhow, Ambertech are about to release a new formula to treat FIP!!! I have already ordered the Vibactra and other products and am eagerly awaiting their arrival. I know many of you will be sceptical, but once I have trialed the Vibactra I will report my findings. We lose so many kittens and puppies here to Parvo and distemper. If this stuff works as they claim it does, then it will be a godsend.

Hi Angela--

Sorry for this late reply. I have been asking my FIP friends on the yahoo group about Ambertech. No one is familiar with the company or the products. One person who knows about alternative medicine looked at some of the ingredients and was a bit alarmed at the combinations in one of the products.

When I looked at the website the wording was vague about what the products do. It did say that they shouldn't be used as a substitute for vaccines or conventional veterinary care. They are supplements that haven't been scientifically tested and they "may help" animals with such and such problem.

As for a treatment for FIP--we couldn't find any information that Ambertech was working on anything or was about to release anything. I would be very cautious about putting my hope in a company that didn't scientifically test their products.

I will give you more details by email or pm if you want. I will pm you a bit of info and my email address. I can forward the info my friends have sent to me.

I think the reason for the lack of scientific teting is because these are holistic remedies & our western civilization doesn't put alot of faith into Holistic. We are more of an Alopathic society. Holistic remedies are to compliment alopathic not replace. But you need to make sure you consult a vet that is familar with holistic so that you do not contradic any alopathic cures. The plants, trees, roots & barks they use in holistic remedies have extremely strong medicinal qualities & if they are not used properly can be very dangerous. No one should ever try & self diagnose & self medicate unless they have consulted a vet that already has a background associated with holistic. Like Julie said many of these remedies are a synergy of some crazy stuff that could be more dangerous than good.

I know Angela is working directly with vets, so I'm sure they'll be able to take a look at the ingredients and give her some good advice there. Caution is always good when using any kind of medicine (holistic or otherwise) but in this case, it probably makes sense since the kittens are dying left and right. So sad. It will be interesting to hear how all this works. Holistic medicine can really be great. I know I have some medical issues that my regular doctors haven't had much luck figuring out. I have a very good friend from Shanghai who brought me to her Chinese herbal medicine doctor. He gave me a tea to drink twice a day that is a combination of 14 different herbs, etc. (the most he's ever prescribed!!). It's the first thing in a long time that's actually made me feel better. If only it didn't have such a horrific taste!

I strongly believe in Holistic medicine myself. I am studying to be a Natural Practioner. I am a certified Aromatherpist as well as a Reiki Master. I have had my vet experiment with accupunture with my unsocialized bengal. My sister had a great success with treating her great dane with bloodroot on malignant tumors. We give all our uptight nervous brides that come in a special herbal tea that makes them leave calm & happy just hours before their wedding. I'm just saying that much caution needs to be taken.

Thank you everyone! As Renee knows, I part own two veterinary clinics and work closely with the vet. We also run a neuter and release programme and do many free treatments for the street animals that are not covered by the minimum that the government pay us. We also hold events to raise money for much needed medecines for the street animals and we never turn away a customer that cant afford treatment for their pets. I also personally have 30 cats both in and outdoors that I feed, vaccinate and care for. I also breed bengals. The list goes on but I will stop there because Im sure you get the picture! LOL. I am passionate about the animals and my rescue work.

This is a third world country and well behind the times. Lots of medicines are unavailable here and disease is rife because of the number of unvaccinated street animals. I have nursed so many street kittens and puppies with distemper and parvo, I've lost count. We have treated with conventional antibiotics, serums, and tlc. We have not saved a single one! There is a point at which I know all is lost and the kitten will die. The kindest thing to do is put the little one to sleep. I cant even be in the room when this is done. It is so heartbreaking when you have nursed them and watched their helpless little faces looking at you asking to be made better.

I am absolutely desperate to find something that might just save 'some'. I have been researching this for hours and hours. I came across Ambertech and their claims about Vibactra and Distempaid. What is there to lose, Im thinking? I have been speaking to someone at Wolf Creek Ranch who are the main distributors in the USA. They also run a rescue centre. She assured me that if Vibactra and Distempaid are used together, it WILL work, and you will see results in 12 hours. She said they havent lost a single kitten using their products!!!!

The proof will be in the pudding!! I have ordered this and we are going to trial it. We are going to make detailed log of the treatment and will publish our findings. We cannot find another vet anywhere in the World that has endorsed this product. We will be the first!

Angela that is so wonderful! I hope & pray it works! I didn't realize the work that you do..... what a kind hearted soul you are. I'm sure the test study will be successful for you & perhaps you can help stomp out FIP! Where are you located?

Im located in Turkey. I am English, originally from the UK.

The FIP product is not released yet. I will be testing the Vibactra, Distempaid and Parvaid products. The interesting thing is: I can find many testimonials for this product singing its praises but none of them are independent. I cannot find a single vet who endorses the product! However, from my conversations with Woof Creek Ranch, I am kinda believing in this product already. One thing keeps coming into my mind. They know we are a vet clinic and that should this product be useless, then it would be extremely damaging for thier growing business. They are actually eager for us to trial it in the hope that our vet will endorse it. Doesnt kinda make sense that they would want to do this if it doesnt work. Thats my thoughts anyway.

If anyone knows anything about this product or knows anyone that has tried it, please let me know.

Our Vibactra is winging its way to us as I write. In fact it was posted last Friday and we have been expecting it to arrive any day. They said about 6 working todays so hopefully tomorrow is the day!!!

This evening someone brought a kitten into the clinic displaying typical signs of distemper. We are hoping this product arrives tomorrow and that it works. Even better, we hope the kitten doesnt have distemper. We will know more tomorrow if the kitten has responded to the shots and antibiotics. We managed to lower its extremely high temperature but not out of the woods yet!

Our Vibactra still hasnt arrived yet BUT the little kitten has made a full recovery. A couple of hours after having received antibiotic shots she was eating and meowing and wanting to go home! It obviously wasnt distemper, thank God!!

Sorry for late reply but a power surge during recent storms took out my internet modem, my microwave, oven and other electrical items.

I am happy to report

that we took three little puppies from the Shelter that had suspected parvo. Following tests, they were positive for Corona which is on par with Distemper. We treated the puppies with Vibactra and they made a full recovery. We then managed to find homes for them so they didnt have to go back to the shelter! We were assured by those at the shelter that they have not had a puppy survive this.

I am starting a new thread on Leishmania. Please have a look. Interesting!

That's awesome! I'm so glad it seems to have helped! clapping clapping

Funny about the Leishmania. I was thinking that was another forum for dogs or somthing (or bengals on leashes, I suppose) because I misread it as Leash Mania. :oops: The Google search tipped me off...
