Dr. Ramaekers graduated from the University of Nebraska with a Technical Animal Science degree in 1965 and from the University of Missouri-Columbia Veterinary Medicine in 1969. He started his practice in 1972 after interning at the Santa Cruz Vet Hospital from 1969 to 1971.

Since opening his veterinary practice in Santa Cruz, California, Dr. Ramaekers has been very interested in the nutritional approach to animal health. He began to identify nutritional deficiencies and toxicities and performed extensive environmental analyses; he studied soil and water, hair analyses, blood chemistries, and nutrient analyses. Specifically, Dr. Ramaekers found that he could prevent many daily veterinary problems through balanced nutrition.

Ramaekers Nutrition's proprietary formulas facilitate white blood cell function and efficiency through immune modulation, thus enhancing the immune system's ability to fight disease. For more information, please see "Meet Dr. Ramaekers."

Dr. Bob has lectured on natural immunotherapy at numerous producer’s meetings in Ohio, Minnesota’s state cattlemen’s annual meeting. And Tyson’s cattle meeting in Indiana. Dr. Bob is currently consulting with dairy calf raisers from several Midwestern states. He also proudly uses immunotherapy for integrative cancer care for small animal and equine patients.

For over twenty years, Ramakeres Nutrition has been the formulator and manufacturer of all animal transfer factor products for 4Life research. We have produced products such as 4Life Canine Complete, Feline Colmplet, Animal Stress Pack, Livestock Stress Formula, and Equine Transfer Factor Performance and Show.

Disease Challenges
