By

C. E. K. RISNER (WAIMANALO, HAWAII) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Complete Herbal Handbook For Dogs And Cats (Paperback)

BRIEF AND TO THE POINT MY DOGS WERE DEEMED INCURABLE DUE TO A MULTITUDE OF DISEASE ILLNESSES RESULTING FRON GROSS FLEE AND TICK INFESTATION THAT WENT UNCHECKED OVER A FIVE MONTH PERIOD I WAS AWAY. THE VETS INSISTED ON PUTTING THEM DOWN. I DECIDED TO SCAN MY LIBURARY TO SEE WHAT INFORMATION I MIGHT HAVE IN THE WHOLISTIC WORLD. TO MY SURPRISE I CAME ACROSS THIS BOOK THAT TO DATE I HAD ONLY SCANNED TO READ ABOUT SHAMPOO AND HOUSE BREAKING. I DECIDED TO DEVOUR THIS BOOK PAGE BY PAGE BECAUSE I WAS DESPERATE. IT TOOK 63DAYS OF ABSOLUTELY NOTHING (AND I MEAN NOTHING) BUT FRESH GROUND GARLIC AND HONEY HELD TOGETHER WITH ORGANIC OATMEAL RUN THROUGH THE FOOD PROCESSOR TO MAKE FLOUR. IT WAS 24/7 BUT IT WORKED MY TWO DOGS ARE ALIVE AND WELL TODAY. EVERYONE SAID IT COULD NOT BE DONE. I DID EXACTLY AS JULIE SAID WORD FOR WORD WITHOUT EXCEPTION AND ALL TOTAL 10 AND 1/2 MONTHS MY DOGS WERE LIKE PUPPIES. THIS BOOK IS AN ABSOLUTE MUST FOR ANY PET OWNER AND WHO WANTS TO PARTICIPATE IN THEIR HEALTH AND LONGIVITY. HUMBLY SUBMITTED BY: C. E. K. RISNER

4.0 out of 5 stars A very interesting and lovely book, Sep 13 2002

By

Lia de Ruiter "Lia" (Scheveningen Netherlands) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Complete Herbal Handbook For Dogs And Cats (Paperback)

I bought this book shortly before I met Juliette at a "Healthy Dog" workshop in Germany.
The book makes very interesting reading, especially the parts where she tells how people in other countries heal their pets.
It is a pity the book does not contain drawings or pictures and only a short description of the herbs used by Juliette. The part on healthy nutrition is at least interesting and worth reading, although in my opinion too many grains are used in the diet.
I can imagine this book saved the lives of many dogs and cats.
Although I wouldn't follow up on everything that is written in this precious book, I certainly use quite a lot of what Juliette recommends.
Juliette herself is a lovely interesting woman well in her eighties. She carries a lot of knowledge around with her and I am grateful for the opportunity to have met her in person.

3.0 out of 5 stars More Information Please!, July 23 2002

By

Soul Sister (Rancho Mirage, CA, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Complete Herbal Handbook For Dogs And Cats (Paperback)

While overall, I enjoyed this book and found it to be informative and enlightening, I found certain parts lacking. Much more attention was given to the portion about dogs. The information was much too general. The diets given made sense, however, no portion sizes or time intervals for feeding were given. No information on the combining of the ingredients was given or how often to feed the animal which foods. For example, the author says to feed a dog carrots to provide insulin in a case of diabetes but never says how many and how often. Also, there was no information on where to obtain some of the lesser known herbs and vitamins and other suppliments. I did not find this book to be detailed enough for my liking nor was it very thorough in my opinion. The author seems to be overly concerned with putting forth a theory, and proving that theory to be correct. I should like much more detailed instructions for the care and feeding of cats as well as dogs. As it is, I cannot rely on this book for any in depth or detailed reference.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't bother with this book unless you like cute stories
I gave it one star because the English was decently written. The knowledge it conveyed was idiotic. Read more
