As an accomplished doctor of veterinary medicine, Martin Goldstein is well respected for his 25 years worth of experience in the field--experience he effectively utilizes in conjunction with his expertise in holistic medicine in his new book, The Nature of Animal Healing: The Path to Your Pet's Health, Happiness, and Longevity. Goldstein begins with a broad explanation of the origins of diseases in pets, then moves on to taking action against those diseases, not only offering thorough discussions of specific ailments--including cancer, allergies, and arthritis--and the holistic medicines available to help in the healing process, but also speaking to the "dubious legacy of vaccines" as well as the questionable quality of pet food. Finally, Goldstein turns his attention to the spiritual realm, addressing both the bonds that we have with our pets--and how those bonds aid in preventing and fighting our pets' health problems--as well as dealing with the death of a beloved pet. Goldstein's expert advice, inclusion of inspiring real-life cases, and thorough resource "compendium of holistic books, newsletters, Web sites, veterinarians, and associations" make this book a valuable addition to any pet owner's library. --Julia King
Product Description
A pioneering revolutionary prescription
for the health and long life of your pets
For two decades, Dr. Martin Goldstein--America's most successful, renowned holistic veterinarian--has healed and helped his animal patients with the same natural therapies that benefit humans. The results have been so astounding that today critically sick pets are brought to him from across the country for a new chance at life and health.
In this compelling, very accessible book, Dr. Goldstein explains exactly what holistic medicine is and how it works. By treating the root of a health problem instead of its symptoms, you too can help your animal to regain and maintain its own health, as nature intended. Dr. Goldstein also shares many remarkable true stories of supposedly terminally ill animals who have recovered to full wellness. Inside you'll discover
- Why our animals get sick, even when we strive to give them the best of care
- An exhaustive A to Z guide of pet ailments--and the best course of action
- Why vaccines can do more harm than good
- The link between diet and disease--and how the right diet can not only prevent disease but reverse it
- How acupuncture, homeopathy, chiropractic, and other alternative options work--safely and painlessly--to restore true health
- Specific guidance for the use of herbs, supplements, and natural remedies
- The good news (and the bad) about cancer in animals--including extraordinary new treatments and potential cures
- Coping with the inevitable death of your pet--both physically and psychologically
And much, much more
PLUS--the ultimate resource for holistic pet care: an extensive guide to holistic product manufacturers and stores, books, newsletters, Web sites, veterinarians, and associations!

Every pet owner should be reading this - your pets will be grateful! It is not too technical, so don't be afraid. Marty is a fantastic writer and lightyears ahead of his time.

I found this book to be the best pet care book I have ever read. It has opened my eyes to a lot that goes in on in the pet business, and has made me realize what I thought was right along was really wrong. I had been on the fence about vaccinating both my dog and my kids and this book was what made me make up my mind. Dr. Goldstein presents a lot of evidence to prove his case, and he makes a good argument. The section on pet food was also very eye opening. I always thought "no table food, only kibble" like most people. But since I have taken my dog off Purina and put her on a diet I make on my own, her coat and smell hav already improved and it's only been a week.
The best part about this book is almost everything in it can apply to humans too. I HIGHLY recommend.
A great resource for pet owners. September 28, 2009
Cindi Smith (Ringgold, Ga)
I enjoyed this book very much. It is full of great information on providing a more natural way of caring for our pets. It is more than worth the purchase price.

Very informative. He definitely writes with an opinion counter to the current vet community but what he says makes a LOT of sense and really sheds light on some outdated and outright harmful practices.

Great read. Dr Goldstein shows you other ways, instead of traditional medications to heal pet of illness. Lead me to seek a Holistic vet for my four dogs. Within one week, I am seeing an improvement in playfulness and behavior.
