Healing Pets Holistically
Integrative Vets Treat Root Causes
by Julie Peterson
“Restore balance from the inside out.”
917-454-8444 thebodymindmd.com
4800 N Fed Hwy, Boca Raton, FL E mma, a mini-schnauzer mix, was 4 years old when she started acting like a senior lacking zest for running or playing. After being treated by an integrative veterinarian for one month, she regained vibrancy. “She’s 6 years old now, and she’s her normal, barky, running, zig-zagging self,” says Yvonnda Agent, a volunteer with animal transport rescue operations, near Rockvale, Tennessee.
Agent’s practitioner determined Emma had kidney issues that were slowing her down. Upon deeper investigation, these problems were found to be the only visible symptom of a tick-borne illness. Once given immune-boosting, anti-inflammatory and liver-detox herbs, the dog made a full recovery.
Expanded Options
Getting to the root cause of the condition is what integrative veterinarians are known for. They combine both conventional and holistic medicine, may use fewer drugs and limit vaccinations.
“With conventional medicine, we tend to treat the symptoms, versus treating the root cause of disease, which is why a majority of the time, the symptoms return when the drug is finished,” says veterinarian Katie Woodley, in Fort Collins, Colorado, who blogs at TheNaturalPetDoctor.com. “With a holistic approach, we look at the nutrition, gut health and how all the systems are connected … and resolve the imbalance.”
Holistic veterinarians may specialize in acupuncture, herbal medicine, kinesiology, chiropractic, laser therapy or any of many other natural modalities as an adjunct to conventional medicine. They first must earn a doctor of veterinary medicine (DVM) degree and then may pursue optional holistic training. Following this path can take a great deal of time.
Natural Nutrition
At the Franklin Road Animal Hospital, in Brentwood, Tennessee, Mark C. Ingram, DVM, has found inadequate nutrition from low-quality foods at the root of most health problems. High-quality food helps animals absorb nutrients needed for
optimal well-being. “The first ingredient should always be meat, and we like limited-ingredient foods due to the numerous allergies we see,” says Ingram. “Every case of cancer that we have seen in the last 20 years has food allergies. Every torn cruciate and every paralyzed dog with disc problems has food allergies. It is also the most underlying cause for ear infections and cystitis.”
This was the case with Gabby, a 3-year-old mini-schnauzer that Agent rescued about a year ago. “She came to us with a bottle of ear solution and a history of green pus in her ears,” says Agent. Gabby’s medical history indicated that the ears, in addition to digestive problems, had been unsuccessfully treated with antibiotics and changes in diet.
“Our holistic vet recommended a raw diet with no grains and no starchy vegetables. Gabby hasn’t had a single instance of ear irritation since,” says Agent, who believes that whole foods served as medicine and now serve as prevention for her pets.
Vexing Vaccinations
There is ongoing debate whether pet vaccination boosters that may be required by law or strongly recommended by vets provide increased protection or are harmful. Mounting evidence says that they are often overdone: for example, both five-pound and 100-pound dogs receive the same dosage. Yet vaccinations do prevent some serious diseases. “We do not like to over-vaccinate, but provide appropriate protection by minimal vaccination and encourage titers,” says Ingram. Titers are blood tests used to determine if a pet’s antibodies are high enough from a previous vaccination to warrant a booster shot for the specific disease.
“Many of the core vaccines that your pet needs to be protected from diseases like parvovirus and distemper actually provide lifelong immunity with one vaccine,” says Woodley.
Choosing a Veterinarian
Commonly, people seek holistic veterinarians after they have had success with human integrative medicine. But finding such a provider isn’t simple. “My clientele regularly travels one to four hours for a consultation,” says Ingram, who fully understands that demand is outstripping supply for integrative veterinary care.
The American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association, which has 1,500 members, has a search-by-state feature that also lists the modalities practiced by each veterinarian at ahvma.org/find-aholistic-veterinarian. In addition, Woodley, Ingram and others offer telehealth or long-distance consults. In lieu of finding a vet that is listed as holistic, pet parents can call clinics to ask questions about alternative treatments. Some facilities are more flexible than others.
Choosing a veterinarian is a personal decision for owners. “I feel that traditional versus holistic care is simply sick care versus well care,” says Agent. “Their quality of life is so important to me and they’re solely dependent on the choices I make for them. I’m going to choose well care.”

OLD AND NEW
Acupuncture is being rediscovered in America and flourishing with a momentum matched only by its efficacy. Acupuncture is both old and new. It has been found in various forms in various cultures for thousands of years, and new and exciting discoveries about its mechanisms of action and ability to treat most illnesses and injuries surface every day. Professional and popular books, journals and research papers in every language are just the tip of the iceberg promoting and explaining this exciting phenomenon. So where did it come from and how did it get here?
Acupuncture’s long and winding road began thousands of years ago when ancient peoples around the world began using sharp objects to treat their ailments. Stone needles were invented in China around 4000 B.C. The most important written records in China began with the “Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Diseases” (from about 500-200 B.C.), which formed the basis for the hundreds of Chinese textbooks on the subject that followed over the centuries.
The ancient Egyptian papyrus scrolls from 1550 B.C. discuss lines of energy throughout the body, which we now call meridians. Acupuncture was used by the Ayurvedic physicians in India for thousands of years. Various forms of acupuncture, using simple sharp objects, were practiced by such diverse groups and cultures as South African Bantu tribes, Arabs in North Africa and Arabia, Eskimos (Inuit) and South American natives. Chinese acupuncture concepts spread all over Asia, including and especially in Japan, Korea and Southeast Asian countries, where it blended with and was shaped by the local populations.
Since the 16th century, acupuncture and acupuncture texts were translated and brought to Europe, especially France and Germany, where it is taught today in many modern medical schools as part of the curriculum for physicians in training. Again, acupuncture is refined and modified with each culture, even in modern Europe. The French especially have provided some of the most important research and advances in ear acupuncture, called auriculotherapy or auricular medicine, where the entire body can be diagnosed and treated thru the ear, using either tiny needles or electrical stimulation.
In America, acupuncture came over from Europe with the early colonists. Dr. Franklin Bache, Benjamin Franklin’s great grandson, wrote the first medical acupuncture article in the U.S. in 1825, entitled “Memoirs on Acupuncture” and translated French acupuncture textbooks into English. Dr. Edward Warren’s 1863 medical and surgical text discussed the use of acupuncture and acupressure, and acupuncture was used during the U.S. Civil War. Sir William Osler, one of the most famous physicians of the 19th century, in his “Principles and Practice of Medicine” textbook for doctors in 1892, recommended acupuncture for the treatment of many conditions, especially back pain and sciatica. He wrote, “For lumbago, acupuncture is, in acute cases, the most efficient treatment”.
Acupuncture research has blossomed and expanded exponentially in the last fifty years, mostly in China, Japan, Europe, America and Canada. Tens of thousands of research articles and books have been printed in dozens of languages. Almost all known diseases, every organ system in the body as well as psychiatric conditions are affected by acupuncture and have all been researched using acupuncture. The many systems with their multiple effects help describe a working model of a multisystem information network all contributing to the explanations of the various aspects of acupuncture. The latest scientific equipment, including scans and microscopy have been used to examine and explain everything from the acupuncture points themselves For instance, acupuncture points as seen under the microscope are found to be vertical columns with the tissue, nerves and blood vessels concentrated and organized in a distinctive fashion. Acupuncture points have a lowered electrical resistance, allowing for increased electrical conductance along fascial planes in the body. Technetium 99, a radioactive tracer, when injected into acupuncture points, diffuses in trajectories which topographically correspond to classically described acupuncture pathways or meridians, giving substantial and modern proof of these ancient phenomena.
Interestingly, acupuncture analgesia is the most thoroughly researched physical modality in medicine. More is known about its mechanisms of action than many of our modern drugs, especially the anesthetic gases. The FDA, in 1996, has reclassified acupuncture needles as medical devices, and the National Institutes of Health is spending millions of dollars on acupuncture research. Legislation is in Congress right now trying to get acupuncture accepted by Medicare. The World Health Organization (WHO), recognizes and encourages the use of acupuncture for a variety of conditions, and mainstream medical organizations like the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) “recognizes that acupuncture may be a part of the armamentarium of qualified and licensed physicians.”
We encourage our readers to explore and investigate the old and new world of acupuncture and discover for yourself its many natural benefits.

INTUITIVE HEALER/HYPNOTIST
JANE GRAY FORD 561-827-3319 • janegrayford.com
ENERGY ENERGY ENERGY Healing starts and ends in the energy field of the body. Over time blockages occur in the the physical body through karmic, genetic or experiences in this lifetime. This may go on for years creating pain, discomfort and disease in the body. Medically the body is treated and the symptoms go into remission. BUT... the problem may still exist in the energy/auric field.! When this is addressed, the healing is completed. Jane Gray Ford for over 20 years has served the community by releasing the causes of disease through Hypnosis or through an Intuitive understanding of energy frequencies. After experiencing a disease or trauma such as cancer, it is critical that the energy in the auric field be rebalanced.
Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul. ~John Muir

The Awakening of Humanity
By Lynne Girdlestone
Today we are all experiencing one or more of the negative effects of an incredibly destructive ‘agent of change.’ Although horrific things happen every day on this planet, they usually affect other people elsewhere. COVID-19, however, can potentially reach anyone, anywhere, upending our lives in a multitude of ways. The obvious questions—how do we stop this virus, will a vaccine help, will the global economy recover—are all unknowns. They occupy our thoughts and emotions with every newscast. For some, the crisis is merely an inconvenient interruption in their ‘business as usual.’ For others it has created new ways to profit at the expense of others. But for most, it’s an amplified survival issue. We know that nothing happens by chance: “For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction” and “As you sow, so shall you reap.” What is happening today has its roots in everything that has gone before. When dysfunction reaches a tipping point, something extraordinary happens to get our attention. This pandemic may be saying “STOP... NOW ... look at the world you’ve built ... untold suffering amidst obscene excess ... all life forms and the planet itself in mortal danger!” The slowing and isolation are giving us the opportunity to consider these issues deeply and emerge with a better Plan B. That so many people are getting the message is an incredibly hopeful sign. Neighbors are helping each other; service organizations are expanding their roles and methods; scientific organizations around the world are sharing their research findings on possible treatments and vaccines; governments are trying to lift the financial burden of their citizens. What would happen if this behavior were to continue post-Covid-19? Could it lead to treating a recovering planet as a ‘global village’ and its citizens as the one human family it is? It would take time, but we can start by demanding of our ‘leaders’ that we all push the ‘reset’ button and begin to move in that direction!
Fortunately, at this very time, a little-known cosmic event is also taking place. As we move into the Aquarian age, characterized by energies of synthesis, unity and cooperation, the spiritual custodians of human evolution—the Masters of Wisdom—have once again sent one of their great ones into the world to act as a teacher for the coming time. Some of the past teachers we have known historically as Confucius, Krishna, Buddha, the Christ and Mohammed. Major world religions all expect another great teacher at some future time, and his imminent appearance has been foreseen by some writers since the late 1800s.
For more than 40 years, British esotericist and lecturer Benjamin Creme informed the world of a coming change— of the collapse of our old structures to make way for the new. He served as a herald for the World Teacher for this age, Maitreya—the one expected by many and longed for by millions (consciously or not), who has come now to guide us through this perilous time and into a cleansed and transformed new world.
Maitreya has advised humanity to make the needed changes to put our world on a saner, fairer path:
“He [Maitreya] will show that essentially men are one, no matter the colour or the creed, that the bounty of Earth belongs to all, and that sharing of that bounty is the key to man’s future. Only sharing, and the justice which it will bring, offers hope to man. Only justice wrought out of sharing will end the plagues of war and terror. Only sharing and justice can bring men to that Brotherhood which is their true inheritance. When men see this they will rise to the challenge and tackle one by one the many problems which daunt us now.” (Benjamin Creme’s Master from ‘Transformation,’ Share International magazine)
Maitreya and his group have worked behind the scenes for millennia to guide our human family. Now, with these powerful, incorruptible allies openly in the world for the next 2,000 years and beyond, we have the opportunity to build a new world that works for everyone. Will we take it? In response to today’s injustices, we are marching. We are protesting. We are sharing resources and helping others. We are agitating for change. We are on the right track! Let’s not even consider returning to ‘business as usual.’

In The Awakening of Humanity, Benjamin Creme leads us on a journey of hope for the joyful world-changing events that are on the way.
