The author discusses many insightful techniques that should be used in pet medicine worldwide. He speaks of techniques that incorporate bio energy and accupressue. Often these methods are rebuked by vets who have no understanding or care about eastern (eg. chinese) medicine. This system of healing has been around for thousands of years! Buy this book and others by him.

What a wonderful book! With chapters on every kind of alternative/complimentary med you can think of, this book lets you know what the thought behind the process is. Now you understand! Now you can choose! I found this book to be a bit tough for the layman but certainly worth the possible struggle to understand some of the terminology. I thought this book was so worthwhile that I bought it for my traditional vet and he thought the material helped to build a bridge of understanding between the practioner of traditional medicine and the alternative practice. If you're looking for facts as presented by the practioners of alternative therpaies, this book shouldn't be missed. Yes, it's pricey but it offers a reference that no other book can beat!

Anyone interested in the field should buy this book. I can be read by proff's as well as others, but having a university degree doesn't exactly make it more difficult, of cause. The book goes through lots of different fields of alt. med., and remembers the references as well as selected readings. So go get it, you won't regret it (though it is pretty expencive).
