Note from the Author
"I first discovered acupuncture and holistic medicine during my final
years at Cambridge
University Veterinary School, when I visted the US to observe work at a
veterinary practise
specializing in veterinary homeopathy, acupuncture and chiropractic.
I was excited to see the new options that these holistic modalities
provided, in particular the benefits they could have for animals with
conditions that are not adequately treated by conventional medicine,
and decided that holistic medicine was the area of veterinary practise
I wished to dedicate my career to.
As a veterinarian who cares deeply about animals, I find it incredibly
rewarding to help dogs, cats, horses and other animals which modern
medicine has given up on. Many of my patients are modern medicine's
failures, and despite treatment are still sick or in pain. It's great
to see these animals, previously suffering from pain or side effects
from medications, often dramatically improve with acupuncture
treatment.
I have written these eBooks as I am passionate about teaching about
veterinary acupuncture and its benefits, so that more owners can become
aware of the effectiveness of veterinary acupuncture, and more animals
can benefit from it earlier, instead of waiting for years to try it as
a 'last chance' effort, more from desperation than hope.
I hope these eBooks will inform you about acupuncture so you can assess
the options available for your animal's medical care and ensure that he
or she will not miss out on acupuncture's benefits."
