Editorial Reviews:

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


User Comments about the The Nature of Animal Healing : The Definitive Holistic Medicine Guide to Caring for Your Dog and Cat

I highly recommend this book and I think every animal lover and pet owner should own a copy. Dr. It opened my eyes to so many things that I had wondered about. I am so glad I found this book. I have used the reference portion in treating my pets for ailments when I couldn't get to a vet or to supplement their veterinary care. Goldstein writes in such an easy manner, and though it is very informative it's also enjoyable to read. This will be a mainstay in my library.

I am still fininshing this book because I skipped the chapter that was about each individual illness that animals can get. I am going to go back through and read them later minus the cat illnesses as I don't have cats.This book was well written although it gets a bit technical at times and I had to read some stuff 2x but it gave me a lot of insight on the damage that pet food does to dogs and for that matter what is really in pet food. I would recommend it to anyone interested in improving thier pets life but wouldn't use it as my only resource I have bought several books to see what is in each of them and learn as much as I can mainly so my dogs can have a healthier lives and so I can be informed when talking to my vets who are very conventional.

The book is written by a veterinarian first trained in standard medical education. He took his education and added holistic training with experiences added by his brother who is also a veterinarian. I don't buy all the concepts presented, but it certainly gives hope to all of us who want our pets, and ourselves, to live long and high quality of life, lives.

I've already noticed a huge improvement in her health and I've only had the book for about a month.Dr. I've gotten so many tips that have benefited my 13 year old dog. This book is fantastic. Goldstein's approach to the health and well being of animals just makes perfect sense. I wish I had this many years ago so I could have prevented some of the problems she is experiencing. I will never again feed my dog commercial dog food and I feel like an idiot for believing it was healthy for her in the first place.If you want your dog (or cat) to live a long, healthy life, get this book.

Marty's care. Marty gave me 6 extra months with my baby when other vets wrote him off. I don't believe that every treatment works for every animal but I truly believe that Dr. The vets that I took him to said that he probably had less than 6 months to live.

I did not accept their opinions as final so I started researching alternative treatments when my mom gave me this book. Marty at his office in New york and he began treating Bogey with supplements and we changed Bogey's diet to a raw diet. After reading it I contacted Dr. In July of 2006 my beloved Bogey was diagnosed with TCC of the bladder.

Bogey was living proof. Unfortunately, we lost our battle with cancer on July 7, 2007 but Bogey lived 6 months longer than any of the other vets expected him too under Dr. This book gives you a different perspective on pet care and it works.
