news brief

Butterfly Art Peace Project

ichola Karma, artist and registered nurse residing in the Santa Cruz mountains, began her peace project organically five years ago when one of her patients asked for a butterfly for his birthday. Since then, she has handmade hundreds of butterflies for healers, yogis, shamans, doctors, nurses, reverends and people all around the world including the hugging saint Amma, Ram Dass, Deva Premal, Miten, Adyashanti and Paramahamsa Nithyananda. On the backs of each butterfly Karma writes, “May peace be with you always and forever with infinite love and gratitude. I wish you eternal bliss.” According to Karma, one of her spiritual mentors had worked alongside Mother Theresa for 10 years. “She taught me her life’s work and asked me to eventually teach lessons on love and compassion. I believe these handmade butterflies are the chosen instrument to teach those lessons as the butterfly is a perfect symbol illustrating what we are going through as a collective in our evolutionary shift in consciousness,” she explains. Over the years, Karma has happily used these butterflies to help her patients shift from despair to love. “It brings me great joy to put beauty in the world by helping people to feel connected in their hearts to one another,” she says. Karma’s butterflies are often donated to feed the homeless and her work is being nominated for the 2020 Nobel peace prize. They have also been blessed by Paramahamsa Nithyananda. In addition to her butterfly art, Karma has published several books and sells her art online and in stores. To learn more and view her art, visit Nichola_Karma on Instagram. You can also email her at NicholaKarma@gmail.com.

By removing blocks—both mental and emotional—that prevent you from doing, having or changing what you want, you make new choices that support you in getting what you truly deserve in all areas of your life.” Empowering Your Life participants will learn powerful and scientifically proven techniques to release painful emotions that no longer serve them, accomplish goals, and live a more fulfilling life. “Apply these techniques to enhance your relationships, enhance your career, and enhance your health and fitness. One weekend and your commitment to a more fulfilling life are all it takes,” affirms Thorp. In addition, attendees will learn to set and enforce boundaries for healthy, happy and fulfilling relationships; let go of negative emotions, limiting beliefs and self-sabotaging behaviors instantly; use powerful Mental and Emotional Release (MER) techniques to dissolve pain from the past; get in touch with, acknowledge and better manage emotions in the moment; communicate with others in a way that creates a deep sense of connection, acceptance and trust; discover what is truly important by getting in touch with their deepest values; and create a realistic and empowering 30-day action plan to achieve personal, relationship and career goals. “Wherever you are on your path, spending this weekend at Empowering Your Life can take you from dreaming to having, from hoping to being, and from wishing to doing,” adds Dr. James, founder of the Empowerment Partnership, the world’s foremost leading authority in providing the most powerful training experiences in alternative and integrative approaches in psychology, human understanding, neuroscience and personal growth.

Top-Notch Holistic Dentistry Just Across the Border by Erin Lehn

he team at BioDental Care in Tijuana, B.C., Mexico, enjoys offering top-notch semi-holistic dental care to their patients in Mexico and the U.S. “This means that while we practice traditional dentistry, we’re also able to follow the Huggins-Grube protocol and offer a more holistic, conservative approach to treating our patients,” shares BioDental Care’s Administrative Director, Alex Ruiz. In addition to traditional dentistry, this mercury-free practice offers ozone therapy and other cutting-edge holistic treatments. “We also don’t use any metals in our dental restorations other than titanium for dental implants, which we prefer because titanium is absolutely inert in the human body. It is non-magnetic and immune to attack from bodily fluids. Titanium is also compatible with bone growth. It’s strong, yet flexible, and is the most biocompatible of all metals,” explains Ruiz. “That said, for patients who are still not convinced about having titanium implants, we also have the option of having non-metal Zirconia implants placed as a metal-free alternative to titanium.” Another plus to this dentistry practice is the cost. “We offer quality biocompatible procedures and materials at a fraction of the cost of holistic dental practices just across the border,” says Patient Advisor, Antonio Lucio, who adds that the staff at BioDental Care also pride themselves on going above and beyond when it comes to taking care of their patients. When calls come in, Lucio is each patient’s first point of contact. “After taking the time to get to know you, including

your medical history and dental needs, I can give you an overall idea of how Biodental Care can help,” says this passionate customer care coordinator, who affirms that ensuring each patient is well-informed and comfortable with their treatment plan is of the utmost importance. “We take a very holistic view of our patients and know that many of them, especially those with dental anxiety, will have plenty of questions. Before they even get in the chair, we take the time to let them know the ins and outs of what their options are.” And speaking of dental anxiety, Lucio shares that this topnotch facility creates a soothing, welcoming atmosphere, complete with mellow music and aromatherapy, to help their patients stay calm. “We do whatever we can to help each of our patients relax. We have a protocol that addresses every single area of your concern. By the time you come in for your treatment, you’ll know you are in good hands and with a treatment plan tailored just for you and your unique needs.” The team at BioDental Care feels it’s important to have a holistic view of each patient. “To us, the importance of

practicing biological dentistry lies in understanding that each patient is unique in their needs and that potential health harms and benefits differ from one patient to another. A treatment that might work just fine for you might not work for someone else. That’s why a biological or holistic way of approaching a patient’s dental treatment plan is so important; it’s not just about treating the patient’s teeth, but about improving their overall well-being,” explains Ruiz. “Personally, what I like the most from our team is the harmony we have collaborating with one another. Our team understands that we each have a role to play in the patient’s care and attention, and we are fully committed to ensuring that their experience at BioDental Care is pleasant and memorable.” Ruiz adds that his favorite part of working at BioDental Care is when a patient leaves their office thrilled to see their new smile in the mirror, or excited that they can chew properly and have a decent meal. “Nothing makes me happier than hearing their words of gratitude for helping them regain their dental health, smile and confidence,” he says. “Our goal is to meet or exceed their expectations.” Lucio agrees. That is why they also offer transportation from the U.S. side of the border and drive each patient back to the border so they can walk back to the U.S. after their appointment. “If a patient just had major dental surgery, we’ll make sure they are driven back across the border,” he says, adding that many patients enjoy extending their visit across the border, so he’s always happy to offer recommendations on what to do while visiting the area. “There are many delicious restaurants in the district. We’re just a few minutes from the mall and there are many great hotels around here too. Many of our patients turn their trip into a mini-vacation. No matter what your plans are, I can help you book flights, hotels or find restaurants. I am available for all your needs. Our staff is dedicated to ensuring that each patient feels secure and cared for. Anything I can do to help make that happen, I’ll do because your comfort is our top priority.” BioDental Care is located at Av. Luis Cabrera 2071, Ste. 301, in Tijuana, B.C.

Changing the World One Container at a Time by Erin Lehn

essica Bell, co-founder of reVessel, along with her husband Eddie, has come a long way from her fast food upbringing. As a youth, Bell’s family often relied on convenience foods for sustenance. “Back then, it was common to eat that way. But I was a high-level gymnast and what I didn’t realize at the time were the needs of a growing body and how few nutrients that type of food provided,” she says. Fast forward decades later when Bell was diagnosed with an auto-immune condition. “There was so much going on when things spiraled. My mother-in-law was diagnosed with ALS and it was a really rough period for us. Along with losing her to the devastating disease, I was later told that I couldn’t get pregnant,” recalls this passionate health and nutrition advocate. “As soon as I started looking beyond conventional medicine, it became very apparent that our environment has so much to do with our health.” Committed to regaining her health, Bell began using food as her medicine. “Nutrition is a wonderful way to bring the body back into balance. It really opened up my eyes to the relationship between ourselves and nature. I realized there’s really no difference: we are nature.” To ensure access to healthy, nutritious meals, Bell began taking her own food everywhere. “As head chef of the family, I even changed the way we celebrated traditions in our home to make them healthier, looking for enriching experiences rather than refined sweets.” Soon, her whole family was eating a plantdominant diet and regularly exploring new foods.

San Diego Edition

Not long after starting her health quest, Bell’s friends began requesting her meal services. Within a six-week period, she had six families signed up to receive her home-cooked, nutrientdense, budget-friendly meals. “I was excited for the chance to influence a healthier outcome for these families,” she explains. Her only complaint was the delivery mechanism. “Getting meals to everyone become a huge obstacle for me. I’d already been having issues with the containers I used to tote my own food around—not to mention my kids’ lunches. Delivering meals on this level was a whole new hurdle I couldn’t seem to get around.” Bell couldn’t find containers that lived up to her goals of being eco-friendly, versatile, modular, leakproof and food safe. So, she decided to take it into her own hands. “As Seth Godin says, the best way to complain is to provide a solution. We can either be a victim or bring the solution into existence,” shares this conscious entrepreneur. “My mother-in-law left us a financial gift and Eddie and I knew we had to use this seed money to create a healthier world.” The Adventure Kit, reVessel’s innovative multi-tasking lunchbox, pairs perfectly with their mission. “It’s everything I ever wanted in a meal storage system. Whether you’re packing dry snacks for a hike, leftovers to take to the office or cooking during a camping trip, you can use the container for any of your meal needs,” assures Bell. Designed by a team of underwater engineers, The Adventure Kit, a versatile, reusable container system, provides great value for only $95 with high function and fashion. “It’s durable and toxin-free, made with bamboo, recycled steel, silicone and the most inert materials for food contact. It creates a circular economy and reduces dependence on plastic. We set very high standards for ourselves and go along with the theory that you shouldn’t expect other people to do something that you’re not willing to do. Instead of normalizing unhealthy things, our goal is to normalize practices that produce health by removing obstacles,” says this mindful consumer. “We look at how our business impacts the local community, the global community and nature. We look at the overall net impact and strive to set a new standard.” Bell appreciates how seamlessly her work and personal life are woven together. “It’s a very powerful place to be. We’re setting ourselves up for amazing alignment and opportunity while dreaming up a better world. We want to be a force to be reckoned with when it comes to eliminating toxins in our food chain—especially for our children—one in two of whom currently face a chronic disease,” she says. “I love being a vessel for a bigger message that’s no longer self-serving. It’s for humanity and our planet. That’s where I get the strength and confidence to take it to the next level. My mother-in-law gave us the gift of abundance and her legacy will be leaving behind so much grace.” For more information, and to sign up for giveaways for local cooking classes and prizes, visit reVessel.com.

Take It Easy on the Eggs Eggs should only be a now and then thing, the latest research from Northwestern Medicine, in Chicago, indicates. The new study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, looked at pooled data on 29,615 U.S. racially and ethnically diverse adults with an average of more than 17 years of follow up. It found that for every 300 milligrams (mg) of dietary cholesterol eaten per day, risk of death from heart disease increases by 17 percent and mortality from any cause increases by 18 percent. One large egg has a whopping 186 mg of cholesterol in the yolk, and eating three to four eggs a week increases heart disease mortality by 6 percent and all-cause mortality by 8 percent. Frank Hu, M.D., at the Harvard School of Public Health, comments that low to moderate intake of eggs can be included as part of a healthy eating pattern, but they are not essential. Dietary cholesterol also comes from red meat, processed meat and high-fat dairy products such as butter and whipped cream.

Eat Plants to Live Longer At least one-third of early deaths could be prevented if people moved to a largely plant-based diet, prominent scientists from Harvard University Medical School have calculated. An international initiative, “Food in the Anthropocene,” published in the medical journal The Lancet, linked plant-based diets not only to improved health worldwide, but also to global sustainability. The report advocates a diet high in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes and nuts, and low in red meat, sugar and refined grains. “Unhealthy diets pose a greater risk to morbidity and mortality than does unsafe sex, and alcohol, drug and tobacco use combined,” it concludes.

Savor Cherries to Lower Metabolic Syndrome Risk Montmorency tart cherries, first discovered by Roman legionnaires along the Black Sea, have been shown to have potent antiinflammatory and antioxidant properties, according to scientists. Now a study from the UK’s University of Hertfordshire published in the Journal of Functional Foods has found that the cherries can mitigate factors that lead to metabolic syndrome, a condition that increases the risk of stroke, heart disease and Type 2 diabetes. Just two hours after being given cherries in the form of juice or capsules, subjects showed significantly decreased systolic blood pressure, and insulin levels were significantly lower after one and three hours compared to those given a placebo.

Use Probiotics to Shed Pounds For the one-third of Americans struggling with obesity, new research on probiotics from the Shandong Academy of Medical Sciences, in China, offers a promising approach. In a meta-review of 12 randomized, placebo-controlled studies that tested 821 obese and overweight people, probiotic supplementation was found to significantly reduce body weight, weight circumference and fat mass, and to improve cholesterol and glucose metabolism measures. Probiotics were administered in forms that included sachet, capsule, powder, kefir yogurt and fermented milk, in durations that ranged from eight to 24 weeks. August 2019

Tectonic Activity Shakes Geologists

Long considered to be geologically inactive, our 4.6billion-year-old moon is showing signs of tectonic activity via seismometers deployed between 1969 and 1972 during the NASA Apollo program. Although some “moonquakes” have been recorded near cliff-like fault scarps on the surface, they may be caused by the irregular gravitational effects of orbiting the more massive Earth or extreme temperature differences created by sunlight in the vacuum of space. Employing more sensitive equipment has been proposed for future missions to assist in choosing potential colonization sites. 14

Climate change has inspired farmers to turn to regenerative agriculture, which pulls carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and stores it in their soil. Regenerative agriculture incorporates the practices of planting trees, cover cropping, no-till farming and rotational grazing. As the groundswell of support grows, 250 soil health bills have been introduced in state and federal legislatures in the last two years. At a U.S. Senate Agriculture Committee climate change hearing, Nebraska soybean farmer Matthew Rezac said that keeping soil healthy, not just reducing greenhouse gas emissions, was a key part of what farmers could do to cool a warming planet. According to the Union of Concerned Scientists, the bills have different justifications, but they all focus on soil health. As disastrous floods and drought sweep away farmland, the idea that regenerative agriculture could make for more productive farming is gaining traction.

Fluorescent Findings

Artificial Light Tied to Inflammation

Fluorescent lighting is one of the most common sources of artificial light, but new research from Texas State University suggests there may be unexpected consequences at the genetic level. Team member Ronald B. Walter says, “Over the past 60 years, we have increasingly relied on artificial light sources that emit much narrower wavelength spectrums than does the sun. Yet, little research has been conducted to determine gene expression consequences, if any, from use of common artificial light sources.” Their findings, published in the online journal Genes, show increased inflammation in tissue and organs and increased immune response in the subject animals, regardless of whether the species is primarily active in the day or night.

Farmers Responding to Climate Change

Critical habitat is threatened for 12 coral species in Florida, the Caribbean and the Pacific Ocean, while all corals worldwide are experiencing dramatic declines due to the impacts of climate change, pollution and overfishing. The Center for Biological Diversity, a Tucson-based nonprofit focused on species protection, intends to file a lawsuit against the federal government for failing to protect coral habitat as required under the Endangered Species Act. Benefits of securing a critical habitat designation from the National Marine Fisheries Service include improved water quality throughout the coastal zone, limits on overfishing, protection of spawning grounds, reduced impact from development and dredging, and reduced human pressures on thousands of species that inhabit the reefs. Nearly 30 percent of all corals have already been lost to warming ocean temperatures and ocean acidification due to greenhouse gas pollution; scientists predict that the rest could be gone by the end of the century without help.

On Earth Day, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed into law a statewide ban on single-use plastic bags in retail stores that goes into effect next March. It’s estimated that New York uses 23 billion plastic bags every year, with 50 percent ending up in landfills and around cities and waterways. New York is the third state in which plastic bags are illegal, after California and Hawaii.

Solar panels currently generate only about 1 percent of our nation’s energy needs, but new research from the federal National Renewable Energy Laboratory shows that installation of “floatovoltaics”— floating, electricitygenerating photovoltaic panels—on only one-fourth of our manmade reservoirs would generate about 10 percent of U.S. energy needs without taking up valuable real estate. Floatovoltaics cost less to install than traditional, landbased solar panels because there’s no need to clear land or treat soil, and research shows that the natural cooling effect of the water below can boost the solar panels’ power production by up to 22 percent. Of the approximately 100 current floatovoltaic installations, only seven are in the U.S., mostly at wineries in California and water treatment facilities. About 80 percent are in Japan, where limited land and roof space make water-based solar panels especially suitable.

Pollution Harms Mental and Physical Health

It’s well established that air pollution’s poisons and particles shorten lives, impair learning and increase risk for dementia. Now, a study published this spring in JAMA Psychiatry, which followed 2,232 children in Britain for 18 years, has found significant associations between exposure to air pollution and psychotic experiences during adolescence. Air pollution is believed to be responsible for 7 million deaths per year globally, according to the World Health Organization.

Opponents Fight Mine in Arizona Desert

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has reversed course without explanation, greenlighting the Rosemont copper mine proposed by Canadian mining company Hudbay Minerals in Arizona’s Santa Rita mountains, 30 miles from Tucson. The Corps approved Rosemont’s Clean Water Act permit this spring after recommending its denial more than two years earlier. Environmentalists, local leaders and indigenous people are suing over the violation of this environmentally sensitive habitat. The Tohono O’odham, Pascua Yaqui and Hopi tribes consider the land sacred. The Cienega Aquifer will be severely impacted by a conical pit a mile wide and up to 2,900 feet deep. Tailings will cover miles of streams and trucks would haul an estimated 50 daily shipments of copper concentrate down the adjacent twolane highway.

Tiny Flossers

Miniature Robots May Become Dental Technicians

A team of engineers, dentists and biologists from the University of Pennsylvania has developed a microscopic robotic cleaning crew that can precisely and non-invasively remove plaque buildup. Instead of the time-consuming and often unpleasant scraping with mechanical tools to remove plaque from teeth, a dentist could deploy either of two types of robotic systems—one designed to work on surfaces and the other to operate inside confined spaces. Robots with catalytic activity could destroy biofilms, the sticky amalgamations of bacteria enmeshed in a protective scaffolding, which would reduce the risk of tooth decay, endodontic infections and implant contamination. The work was published in Science Robotics.

PARENTING Preparing Kids for the Future by Meredith Montgomery

oday’s children have more opportunities to change the world than ever before. Teenagers are organizing global activism movements, LEGO lovers are mastering robotics and young entrepreneurs are launching successful businesses before they’re old enough to drive. But for Mom and Dad, this fastpaced, technology-driven childhood looks drastically different from their own. To help kids thrive, parents must learn to mindfully embrace today’s modern advances without losing sight of timeless virtues and skills such as kindness, creativity and critical thinking.

Finding Balance

After-school hours used to be filled with outdoor free play in which kids independently developed their natural capabilities as self-learners and creative problem-solvers. The Children & Nature Network has reported that just 6 percent of children ages 9 to 13 play outside on their own. Instead, stress and anxiety are on the rise in our competitive culture as many kids attempt to balance heavy homework loads with an overflowing schedule of extracurricular activities. With the ability to connect to the world at our fingertips, Thomas Murray, director of innovation for Future Ready Schools, in Washington, D.C., notes that devices can also disconnect us from those right next to us. “It’s a massive struggle to find balance and mindfulness, but it’s vitally important. How often do we see an AP [advanced placement] kid that is falling apart emotionally? As parents, we need to recognize that kids have a lot on 16

their plate—more than ever before.” Salt Lake City-based Courtney Carver, author of Soulful Simplicity: How Living with Less Can Lead to So Much More, worries that parents are creating résumés for a life their children probably don’t want. On her BeMoreWithLess.com website, she focuses on living with less clutter, busyness and stress to simplify life and discover what really matters. “It’s challenging to maintain close connections when we’re overwhelmed with what’s in our inbox, or on Instagram or what the kids are looking at online,” she says. On her own journey to practical minimalism, she gained a greater sense of presence with her daughter. “When you can pay attention to a conversation and not feel distracted and antsy, especially with young kids, that is everything,” says Carver.

for parents to relate and know how to set boundaries. As senior parenting editor at nonprofit Common Sense Media, Caroline Knorr helps parents make sense of what’s going on in their kids’ media lives. “We can think of media as a ‘super peer’: When children are consuming it, they’re looking for cues on how to behave and what’s cool and what’s normal.” Parents need to be the intermediary so they can counterbalance the external messages with their own family’s values. Today’s devices are persuasive and

addictive. “As parents, we need to set boundaries, model good digital habits and help kids to self-regulate more—which is our ultimate goal,” Knorr says. To raise good digital citizens, Richard Culatta, CEO of International Society for Technology in Education, in Arlington, Virginia, believes conversations about device use shouldn’t end with screen time limits and online safety. “Ask kids if their technology use is helping them be more engaged and find more meaning in the world or is it pulling them out of the world that they’re in,” he says. “Talk about how to use technology to improve the community around you, recognize true and false info, be involved in democratic processes and making your voice heard about issues you care about.” Parents are often uncomfortable with their kids socializing digitally, but Culatta encourages the introduction of interactive media sooner rather than later, so they understand how to engage with the world online before they are old enough to have social media accounts. Geocaching, which uses GPS-enabled devices to treasure hunt, and citizen science apps provide family-friendly opportunities to engage in both outdoor activities and online communities. “The majority of our kids will need these digital communication skills to be

able to work with anyone at any time,” says Murray. He’s witnessed the impact of connecting classrooms around the world, observing, “When students learn to navigate time zones and language barriers to communicate and collaborate, they see that they can solve the world’s problems together.”

Raising Innovators

“The world doesn’t care how much our children know; what the world cares about is what they do with what they know,” says Tony Wagner, senior research fellow at the Learning Policy Institute, an education research and policy nonprofit in Palo Alto, California. In his latest book, Most Likely to Succeed: Preparing Our Kids for The Innovation Era, he emphasizes the importance of creative problem-solving and the joy of discovery, especially as

more jobs become automated. “We’re born with a temperament of creative problem solvers. But then something happens. The longer kids are in school, the fewer questions they ask, the more they worry about getting the right answer and fewer and fewer think of themselves as creative in any way,” he says. “Instead of listening and regurgitating, kids need to learn how to find and be a critical consumer of information,” says Murray. Fewer employers are asking for college transcripts—including Google—as they discover the disconnect between what students are taught and what innovative skills they actually need. While most schools are slow to adapt to the modern needs of the future workforce, parents can proactively foster the entrepreneurial spirit and discourage a fear of failure at home by offering safe opportunities for risk-taking and independence. After speaking extensively with compelling young innovators around the world, Wagner discovered

that their parents explicitly encouraged three things: play, passion and purpose. Their children were provided with many opportunities to explore new interests, as well as to learn from their mistakes. “The parents intuitively understood that more important than IQ is grit, perseverance and tenacity. You don’t develop that when Mom is yelling at you to practice; you develop it because you have a real interest.” To create a culture of innovation, Murray encourages teachers and parents to get to know the interests, passions and strengths of today’s children “and prove to them every day that they matter.” When that interest blossoms into a passion, it can lead to a deeper sense of purpose and a desire to make a difference. According to Wagner, this happens when parents and teachers instill one simple, but profound moral lesson, “We are not here on this Earth primarily and only to serve ourselves; we have some deep, profound obligation to give back and to serve others.”

Teaching Kindness

In a culture that is obsessed with selfies and threatened by cyberbullies, it’s a tough task for parents to teach compassion and kindness. “We need to create an intentional family culture where virtues like kindness and respect are talked about, modeled, upheld, celebrated and practiced in everyday life. What we do over and over gradually shapes our character, until it becomes second nature—part of who we are,” says Thomas Lickona, Ph.D., a developmental psychologist and education professor emeritus at the State University of New York College at Cortland, and author of How to Raise Kind Kids: And Get Respect, Gratitude, and a Happier Family in the Bargain. Sesame Workshop’s 2016 Kindness Study found that 70 percent of parents worry that the world is an unkind place for their kids, but Scarlett Lewis believes it’s all in our mind, saying, “When you choose love, you transform how you see the world from a scary and anxiety-producing place to a loving and welcoming one.” After losing her 6-year-old son Jesse in the horrific Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, she attributed the tragedy to an angry thought in the mind of the shooter. Her compassion fueled the founding of the Jesse Lewis Choose Love Movement to educate and encourage individuals to choose loving thoughts over angry ones. “Although we can’t always choose what happens to us, we can always choose how to respond,” she says. The evidence-based Choose Love Enrichment Program teaches children to live a life with courage and gratitude, practice forgiveness and be compassionate individuals. While we don’t want to overwhelm kids with all the evils in the world, Lickona notes that it is valuable to make them aware of human suffering and how we can help. “Cultivate the belief that we’re all members of a single human family. Teach [them] that one of the most important ways to show gratitude for the blessings in our life is to give back.” Meredith Montgomery publishes Natural Awakenings of Gulf Coast Alabama/Mississippi (HealthyLivingHealthyPlanet.com).

Integrative medicine is about broadening our medical options, blending both conventional medical and holistic approaches. It focuses on client education and participation in the healing process of their pet.

bout 10 years ago, Kim Krouth’s dog, Buckeye, was suffering from severe allergy symptoms. The mixed-breed shepherd was licking and biting her paws until her toe pads were bleeding. “Our conventional vet prescribed steroids,” recalls Krouth. “It helped some, but also agitated Buckeye. When I found out that other side effects could include serious health problems, I didn’t want to put her at risk.” The Madison, Wisconsin, animal lover headed to a holistic pet supply store to ask about alternative treatments for the dog’s allergies. She learned about herbal remedies, and was advised to take Buckeye to a holistic veterinarian. “Treating her holistically seemed like a better option than the side effects of treatment with drugs,” she says. The holistic veterinarian recommended acupuncture. It helped, but the dog later became sensitive to the needles. At that point, she was given homeopathic plant-based treatments that worked well with no side effects. Buckeye, now 15, has also received laser light therapy and spinal manipulation to help with mobility in her senior years.

The Holistic Difference

Holistic veterinarians have been treating dogs, cats, chickens, livestock and exotic animals across the nation for some time, but many people aren’t entirely clear about how their approach—and their training— differs from a conventional vet. Both enter the profession after earning a doctor of veterinary medicine (DVM) degree.

Holistic practitioners can then choose to train in a variety of modalities, including acupuncture, herbs and physical rehabilitation, plus trigger point, megavitamin and stem cell therapies. “Any method that is sufficiently different from conventional medicine requires extra training ... over a period of weeks, months or years,” says Nancy Scanlan, DVM, the executive director of the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Foundation, in Mount Shasta, California. Veterinarians, holistic or not, typically do the same initial examination of an animal, she says. From there, a holistic vet may look at additional areas or assess things in a slightly different way. “For example, someone trained in veterinary osteopathy or veterinary chiropractic would explore the range of motion of joints or the spine.” In treatment, holistic DVMs use an integrative approach. The goal is to look at the animal as a whole and treat the underlying condition, rather than treating the symptoms. “Integrative medicine is about broadening our medical options, blending both conventional medical and holistic approaches. It focuses on client education and participation in the healing process of their pet,” says Danielle Becton, DVM, of Aloha Pet & Bird Hospital, in Indian Harbour Beach, Florida.

Holistic veterinarians may also choose to use fewer conventional drugs and limited vaccinations. “Vaccine titers can be used to determine if a patient has adequate antibodies to a disease to create immunity,” says Becton. “If a pet is already immune, they may not need another vaccine booster that year.” Becton and Scanlan agree that alternative treatments such as acupuncture, laser therapy or massage can be used in lieu of drugs for pain management. However, Scanlan does note that in an acute or emergency situation, many natural methods do not work fast enough, “and that is when holistic veterinarians are more likely to use drugs.”

Choosing a Holistic Veterinarian

Pet owners seek out holistic veterinarians for different reasons. In Krouth’s case, it was the unacceptable side effects to drugs that led her to explore other options. Becton points out that she gets clients looking for a more natural approach for their pets after they personally have had success with human integrative medicine. However, it’s important that pets are treated by professionals that are trained to treat animals. People with holistic training for humans may not understand animal anatomy or physiology. Ultimately, choosing a veterinarian is a personal decision, and seeing a beloved pet thrive is the best confirmation that it was the right one. “We are so glad that we still have Buckeye at this golden age, and believe it’s due to holistic care that she has lived a comfortable, long life,” says Krouth. Julie Peterson lives in rural Wisconsin with her husband, dogs and chickens. She has contributed to Natural Awakenings for more than a decade. Contact her at JPtrsn22@att.net. August 2019
