5.0 out of 5 stars One of the most interesting book in Veterinary Medicine, May 26 2004
By 
Excalibur 45 (Saint Privé, Yonne France) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Complementary and Alternative Veterinary Medicine: Principles and Practice (Hardcover)
A mine of information, very technical and thorough for all vets interested in alternative medicine and those who wish to learn more about it. I bought it 5 years ago and still have a lot of pleasure to read it again.Chapters after chapters, you fully understand that the holistic approach of a sick animal is the only worthwhile and that the complete cure is a reachable goal,not simply alleviate or mask symptoms like in the allopathic way. A book for what the future approach of patients and care will be in the 21st century.

5.0 out of 5 stars Alternative pet med at its best!, Mar 21 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Complementary and Alternative Veterinary Medicine: Principles and Practice (Hardcover)
The author discusses many insightful techniques that should be used in pet medicine worldwide. He speaks of techniques that incorporate bio energy and accupressue. Often these methods are rebuked by vets who have no understanding or care about eastern (eg. chinese) medicine. This system of healing has been around for thousands of years! Buy this book and others by him.

5.0 out of 5 stars You'd be hard pressed to find better!, Feb 24 2001
This review is from: Complementary and Alternative Veterinary Medicine: Principles and Practice (Hardcover)
What a wonderful book! With chapters on every kind of alternative/complimentary med you can think of, this book lets you know what the thought behind the process is. Now you understand! Now you can choose! I found this book to be a bit tough for the layman but certainly worth the possible struggle to understand some of the terminology. I thought this book was so worthwhile that I bought it for my traditional vet and he thought the material helped to build a bridge of understanding between the practioner of traditional medicine and the alternative practice. If you're looking for facts as presented by the practioners of alternative therpaies, this book shouldn't be missed. Yes, it's pricey but it offers a reference that no other book can beat!
