Fwd: Non-vegan Vaccine ingredients and chemical definitions

[Guest guest]

Alrighty then...

 

To " stay on topic " as it is...

 

Here is a helpful list in regards to what animal products vaccines contain...

 

Forewarned is forearmed...

 

I don't know of any vegan friendly vaccines beyond the simple: exercise,

nutrition and supplementation where necessary (including immune system

enhancing herbal remedies)....but if any other of the list comes across

this I'd like the info....

 

Slante chugat,

 

Kat and Kegan
