using pharmaceuticals and surgery only when necessary for the pet’s health and quality of life. The goal is finding the true root source of the pathology in order for true healing to occur. The wholeness inherent in the scope of holistic veterinary medicine nurtures all aspects of an animal’s well-being, resulting in lasting physical, mental and emotional health. There is a plethora of ways to practice holistic


veterinary medicine. It may be safe to say that no two holistic veterinarians practice the exact same way or use the same techniques. Services include nutrition, supplements, herbals, homeopathy, Tra- ditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with acupunc- ture, light-therapy, flower essences, chiropractic modalities, massage, Vibrational therapies (Bio-resonance, Reconnective Healing, EESytem. com), Prolotherapy, Ozone, PEMF (pulsed elec- tro-magnetic frequencies) and many more. Unfortunately, it can still be a common prac-


tice to just treat symptoms even when prac- ticing holistic. Let’s say for example, you get a headache and instead of reaching for the Advil, you take a natural supplement. Yes, taking the natural therapy is a much better option because you won’t be putting stress on the detox organs (liver, kidneys, lungs, skin) like you would with the drug. However, this is not solving the cause of the headache in the first place. Perhaps it is dehydration, or a magnesium deficiency, or an accumulated EMF (Electro Magnetic Fields) exposure, or work stress, or a vertebra out of alignment or a mix of any of the above. For true health and healing, it is important to uncover any and all causes. Dr. Kordon says, “For every Effect there is a


Cause”. At Animal Health Oasis, we have a ma- chine and systematic questions that help us find the cause. Most of our clients are amazed at how thorough we are. •
