Holistic methods of
treatment can address most conditions, ranging from behavioral disorders
such as aggression or separation anxiety, all the way to the most severe
physical ailments such as epilepsy or cancer. Sometimes the conditions
can be cured- meaning there is no more signs of any dis-ease and no further
treatment is necessary, and sometimes with more advanced severe chronic
disease, the immune system and the life force of the animal can be raised
enough to relieve or eradicate the symptoms as long as there are periodic
acupuncture treatments or continuing use of homeopathic remedies or supplements.
Where there is advanced tissue pathology, such as severe arthritic changes,
the structure of the body can rarely be reversed. In all cases, however,
the treatments are building the animal's health, strength and immune system,
in contrast to the use of conventional drugs, where the animal's system
can be weakened by the drug itself, or suffer debilitating or disastrous
side effects. Following is a partial list of conditions that I commonly
see.
