About Alternative Pet Medicine
Our clinic is unique in that, in addition to conventional veterinary medicine, we can also provide alternative medicine in the form of nutritional consultation, botanical medicine, antioxidant therapy, plant enzyme therapy, glandular therapy, acupuncture (classical needle acupuncture, electro-acupuncture and "low intensity laser stimulation"), proliferative therapy, gold bead embedding, laser therapy, chiropractic, homeopathy and the electroacuscope.
Conventional and alternative medical approaches are often used together to provide the best of both worlds and to produce results that are often more rewarding than either approach used alone.

- The use of pulsed magnetic frequencies in an attempt to reestablish the normal harmonics of the cell.
- Digestive and Systemic Enzyme Therapy
- The use of systemic proteolytic plant enzymes to destroy circulating immune complexes and reduce Inflammation. The use of digestive enzymes to provide pancreatic support and gastronintestinal support. Learn more about enzymes and their therapeutic use: read Dr. Simon's article Enzymes - The Fountain of Life.
- Infratonic Therapy
- The use of low frequency sound therapy to help reduce inflammation and re establish celluar harmonics.
- Probiotic Therapy
- The use of beneficial bacteria in order to re-establish the normal gut flora and choke out the bad bacteria.

- Enzyme therapy uses special types of plant- or animal-derived protein supplements which enable biochemical reactions to take place in the body. Systemic enzymes are very effective in helping reduce the pain and discomfort of physical injury, sport trauma, arthritis, allergies, blood clots and auto immune disease. Digestive enzyme supplements help break down the grain protein molecules in processed pet foods and reduce the risk of chronic inflammatory diseases including arthritis, allergic dermatitis, and glomerulosclerosis (kidney disease).
