Description

Alt-Vet- The Revolutionary Pet Care and Longevity Solution. explores the alternative therapies that are available to your pet through a network of alternative veterinary medicine practitioners throughout the country, but offers some simple and safe therapies you can do at home with your pet that will them maintain a high level of health and happiness. TCVM is not some new concept- it has been practiced for thousands of years, yet surprisingly, many Americans have not heard of it or tried it with their pet. Alt-Vet contains real life stories of animals that have been brought to my clinic by pet owners that were looking for some hope of saving their animal, reducing their pain, and increasing their quality of life. Many of those pet owners come in skeptics and leave believers. Alt-Vet offers chapters on pet massage, healing diets, and emergency response care. The techniques offered are low cost and simple to implement. It is the goal of this book to inspire pet owners to embrace a holistic lifestyle for their pets and in the process to extend their furry companions' quality of life.

Reviews

When I started working with Dr. Vargas I was a little skeptical about Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. But I witnessed the power of these modalities in my 8-year-old Border Collie, who I was close to retire from agility competitions. After a few sessions of Acupuncture and the Herbal Qi performance, the same dog got the third place in the National US Open in Perry, GA. Alt-Vet is a great way to introduce thousands of dog lovers to the power of Alternative Medicine and to give them positive action steps to get their dogs living healthier and longer.~ Marco Magiolo, Animal Behaviorist, and Dog trainer - -
As a Director of a No-Kill shelter, I am always looking for ways to prevent outbreaks of disease and to manage chronic conditions on a shoestring budget.Our shelter mascot got a grand mal seizure and Dr. Vargas used herbals and acupuncture and he never had an issue again. he previously was paralyzed and acupuncture got him walking. So when I read Alt-Vet I was excited to know that millions of pet owners will now get to learn about alternative ways to care for their pets. Better yet, they will learn tips they can really use at home!~Lisa Baker, Executive Director of the Humane Society of Polk Co. - -
am almost sure readers will have a good chuckle when they read Chapter 4 - Healing with Intention in "Alt-Vet". That's because most do not understand where this healing intention comes from. Its from a very ancient Chinese text, the Ling Shu (Celestial Pivot or Spiritual Axis) Chapter 1 "9 Needles 12 Source Points" and it exhorts all Chinese physicians and veterinarian to uphold the following:"The principle of using these fine needles is easy to say but difficult to master.Ordinary skills of acupuncture maintain the physical body;high skills maintain the spirit, use the spirit to reveal the spirit ..."All in all, Alt-Vet is about a book of hope and inspiration.Amazon review by chinpohfoong - -
