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

Amazon.com

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

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.

- An exhaustive A to Z guide of pet ailments--and the best course of action
- Why vaccines can do more harm than good

- The good news (and the bad) about cancer in animals--including extraordinary new treatments and potential cures

This book truly makes alot of sense,and has opened a whole different perspective in pet health for me.I found it very hard to put this book down after I started reading it.I have to agree with other readers, that, you will never look at your pet's health and well being, the same again.Every pet owner should read this book!!!! I think it would make a really great gift for others as well.

A MUST READ!.......2007-09-16

This book is very informative,if just for reccommended feeding guidelines and vaccination awareness.Every cat and dog owner needs to read this and be aware of whats in our pets food.

Real Food for Pets!.......2007-08-23

From personal experience, I know Martin Goldstein is right on with feeding pets real food.

For years, my Pug struggled with crystals in her diet...both acidic and alkaline. She was put on different Hill's Prescriptive Diet foods.

She was also going blind.

Two years ago, I thought--enough of this crappy food--I want the rest of her days (at that time I thought very limited) to have more quality. I started to feed her free-range chicken and premium canned food (because I knew it was balanced.)

She's still eating it and is now a healthy, almost 14 year old Pug! (I have since added meatloaf from free-range buffalo, brown rice and grated carrots.)
Harmonious Environment: Beautify, Detoxify and Energize Your Life, Your Home and Your Planet

a must have for all pet owners!.......2007-07-09

Dr. Goldstein's book truly changed the way I care for my companion animals. It sheds light on a new approach to caring for your pets. I found it very readable and clear. I especially liked the information on diet, and made changes to my pets foods that have already caused positive changes in their health. I recommend it uncondtionally.

Product Description

Indian Crafts and Skills provides an excellent study of Indian work, both practical and artistic. The book not only describes the skills Indians have developed but gives specific instructins for creating many kinds of Indian handiwork yourself. The author, a skilled artist and craftsman, explains the various types of shelters and tools used by the Indians, as well as the weapons made for warfare or hunting. Trapping and tracking are vividly described, complete with diagrams for help in identifying most every kind of wild animal track.

Concise, easy-to-read instructions will tell you all you need to know about creating Indian fashions. Discover the basics of the Indian "kitchen," including utensils and cookery, as well as the many foods comon to the Indian diet: meats and nuts, fruits and vegetables found in their wild surroundings; everything from buffalo to grasshoppers. Even drinks and seasonings used in daily food preparation, and many plants useful for food and medicine, are illustrated. Dogs, horses, and boats are cited as the main means of Indian transportation, and instructions for building saddles, travoises, and canoes are provided for the ambitious enthusiast of Indian skills. The book is full of illustrations depicting these items, as well as the pouchesscabbards, and cases used by the Indians to carry important personal items, much like their modern-day counterparts of purses, wallets, suitcases, and baby carriers. These, too, can be made by the modern outdoorsman in the authentic and distinctive style of the Indian peoples. Not only will you discover the practical aspects of Indian livelihood, but also their methods of adornment and amusement. The beauty and artistry of Indian jewelry, especially their skillful geometric beadwork, comes to life in the colorful description of the art of jewelry-making, an art you can begin learning through careful study of the chapter devoted to it. Another chapter takes a look at a variety of Indian games and musical instruments skillfully created for pure enjoyment. The author provides a complete list of reference books and supply sources to help in re-creating the magic and mystery of Indian handiwork. Indian Crafts and Skills is an authentic and exciting book for people who wish to share in the heritage of skill and artistry of a wide variety of Indian tribes.

Can't judge a book by its cover.......2007-09-04

Do not be misled by the wonderful pictures on the front and back of the book. Inside is nothing but disappointments and a waste of time. David Montgomery may be a gifted crafter, but in no way is he capable of writing or illustrating a book. His illustrations are small, crude line drawings with no measurements or information to speak of. Before wasting money on this sub-par Cub Scout manual, I strongly suggest these better illustrated and information rich books. Complete How-To Book of Indian craft: 68 Projects for Authentic Indian Articles by W. Ben Hunt, or Indian Handcrafts by C. Keith Wilbur. Both contain measurements, step by step directions and more cultural information.

A well dog-eared copy of the first edition has been in my tool kit / computer kit for the last couple of years. I have found it a valuable resource. It has helped me on-site more than once. The second edition is more comprehensive and organized. Kudos to John in publishing a great resource fit for the student and experienced professional.

Customer Reviews:

Not all inclusive.......2002-02-22

This book is all about the systems and equipment, how they work or not together. It does not go into decor of said equipment. No themes or anything like that, just the tecnical mumbo jumbo. It seems to focus on higher end equipment as well and does not give each manufacturer of stereo/audio equipment equal reviews or ratings. Some are just brushed over, barely mentioned. It is a good starter book, but definetly does not cover all aspects of a home theater design.

It's History and Not Up To Date.......2001-12-28

The book is well written and the material covered logically organized. However, advances in technology makes this more of a history text than the current "how-to" book that I was looking for. You would never buy this book in a store because you would flip through a few pages and find out that Wolenik talks about DVD in the "future tense". I would buy an updated version -- even for a rank beginner this one is not worth much. OK pictures!

two words: outdated and elementary.......1999-02-17

This book is very basic and is well outdated by at least 3-4 years. no mention of dvd or dts!! according to the author thx is the breaking revolution??? I purchased the book in hopes of finding a few tips on the design and building of an actual home theater ($15,000 - $25,000). what i got was a boring explanation of dolby pro logic and stereo sound. if you are designing a $1500 system with a $300 dolby surround sound receiver this is the book for you!!!!

if not keep looking!!!!!!!!!!!

Very Basic - Disappointing.......1998-09-26

Disappointed that there was only 1-2 pages on Front projector Theaters and 1-2 pages on rear projection theaters.
