We offer safe, effective treatments for chronic problems with fewer to no side-effects. I see it as a cure for many of the problems in veterinary medicine today because curing pets with fewer side-effects and a more reasonable cost leads to less burn out and better outlook on our profession. Here we will talk about herbs to treat behavior problems, mushrooms and herbs to treat cancer, how to safely integrate holistic and conventional medicine. We hope to build bridges with those skeptics in our profession. More holistic treatments are available at my holistic pet school on line! I hope you can join me asking your questions in the chat in these weekly podcasts!
