"What is different in the holistic medicine approach?" - Nick C., CT |
|
Advocates of holistic medicine believe that by treating the root of a health
problem instead of its symptoms, you can help your animal regain and maintain
its own health, as nature intended. So, as an example, if we see an animal who
developed symptoms of chronic colitis after receiving unnecessary vaccines, we
don’t give antibiotics and steroids to mask the symptom of bloody diarrhea.
Instead, we’ll use acupuncture, homeopathy, herbal remedies, vitamin/mineral
supplementation and other non-toxic, alternative options to restore metabolic
balance and true health.
