The Nature of Animal Healing The Definitive Holistic Medicine Guide to Caring for Your Dog and Cat

The Nature of Animal Healing The Definitive Holistic Medicine Guide to Caring for Your Dog and Cat

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

5 Stars All Dogs go to Heaven only after Dr. Marty says its okay
This book is a must read for all pet owners. Dr. Marty’s insightful witt and wisdom changed the lives of both my pets and myself. Thank God for vets like Marty Goldstein.

5 Stars Marty Rock
Dr. Goldstein’s book is very informative for people with any level of understanding of health care of dogs and cats. It completely changed the way I care for my dog. After starting Dr. Goldstein protocols my 13 year old Sheltie seem to become years younger and here digestive issue are greatly improved. I recommend this book to all pet owners.

5 Stars If you could only buy one book to take care of your pet, this one would be it!
I absolutely loved this book. The only negative thing about this book is that is was first published in 1999. I wish Martin Goldstein would update the book and re-publish it, I’m sure he even found more holistic approaches than what was current in 1999. This book has some very good information in it, from advice about immunization to how to deal with a Lipoma etc. I wish more vets would embrace a holistic approach, there are very few holistic vets in this area and none of them seem to be as thorough as Martin Goldstein. One can hope that the future vets who are in school right now will go this route.

If you can only afford to buy one book with holistic advice about taking care of a dog or cat, this would be the one I recommend!

5 Stars An Informed, Holistic Approach to Healing
I love that this book was written by a veterinarian who is not locked in the “give them a pill” box that unfortunately, so many are. This makes the book especially useful, as it is written by someone with a specialty in veterinary medicine, but who is also extremely well-informed about alternative, holistic approaches to health. The sections on nutrition and vaccines will be eye-opening for many, and the book should be required reading for all pet owners.

5 Stars All animal lovers should read this book
This book is written by a man educated at one of the top vet schools in the country, who is later in life strongly influenced by holistic medicine. His analysis of pet food will make you think twice about buying standard brands for your pet. His discussions are sometimes scientific but always understandable. A very educated, yet down to earth approach to the health of your pet that no owner should fail to read.

1 Star No Merry Christmas, Poor Programming
My son is very disappointed. The Pet Vet 2 game (on a fairly new system) comes up with a “no pixel shader” window and then exits. I can’t see any reason to even require this. Can’t the game have a lower resolution mode? This seems like terrible game design and/or programming.

1 Star No Merry Christmas
This is what my daughter wanted for Christmas. But here we are, Christmas day, and it won’t work because of a pixel shader problem. And if you go to the website those folks say if your video card is more than six months old, you might have problems. Oh, well, thanks. Try explaining that to your eight year old. Merry Christmas.

3 Stars It’s okay…
Pet vet 2 is fairly fun game. Here is a basic overview: you start out with a small amount of money and your clinic, which you can pay to expand. (expand as in add after-care areas, ultra sound machines, stables and so on.) You can also take classes for a fee in the academy, which is in town. The classes basicaly consist of three questions on the type of animal you selected. If you corectly answer the questions, you can treat that type of animal in your clinic. Customers will bring animals into the clinic to be treated about every five minutes. as time goes on, assuming you treated the animals sucsessfuly, customers will bring animals in more often, up to every thirty seconds. Treating the animals is easy, all you do is hear the owner say what is wrong, then go over the animal with a magnifying glass, thermometer, or hand. once you touch the affected area, a notice will pop up and tell you what to do. Then you just click on the medicine and bring it to affected area and click, and tada! then you will recieve the money and the animal will disappear. The game is fun at first but it gets VERY hectic after you get after-care areas because you have to play with the pet, feed the pet, clean the pet, clean the pet’s enclosure, go to the store to buy more food for the pets after it runs low. the list goes on and on. And all the care stats go down fast! All this you have to do while treating more pets, feeding your self and buying the nessesary things to treat your clients. So… if you’re prepaired to be feeling almost crazy some times with all the things that must be down then get the game, but if not then don’t buy it.

4 Stars My nine year old gives it 4.5 stars and loves it!
This was given to my daughter as a gift for Christmas 2007 and its been a home run ever since. She plays it as much or more than any other game. She also enjoys petz5 cats and dogs … so for any animal lovers you may have, this game is good. It teaches kids a number of things in the process. I was amazed how many quality hours of clean cut fun this game has provided my daughter.

4 Stars High video system requirements, but fun game!
We initially had trouble getting this game to work as it required a video card with a “pixel shader”, which was not supported by our onboard video adapter on a brand new PC. After installing an inexpensive Nvidia 8400GS video card, the game works perfectly. Any basic gaming video card should work for this game. It was a bit surprising that a game for 8 year olds required a more advanced video card, but now that we are past that hurdle, my daughter has really enjoyed the game. She has said that Pet Vet 2 is better than Pet Vet 1 on Nintendo DS or Pet Vet 1 for PC. I find this game fairly entertaining to play with my daughter and aside from the having fun, it does have some good aspects around planning and budgeting to grow your vet practice.
