I am sorry but there is things in Dogs Naturally and a few others that I find useful. I choose live my life in a more natural way. (I have a number of medical issues )I also choose to have Galen and Kitties live the same way. I believe in the use of herbs to help. There are drugs we take that are derived from herbs, spices and mushrooms. I give Galen and the kitties cocconut oil and a few other things naturally. I feed a raw food diet. To me, this is the best for my babies. I even used DFA to give me a starting point to look at foods. These are tools. I would not rely on one thing to be a bible for what I do. And yes, if I find something interesting on Dogs Naturally I will post on my page. If you don't want to see it scroll by. . . But others may find it useful. We have discussions about the topics. . . . Just my opinion . . .

Nothing wrong with that.
Honestly I'm somewhere in the middle myself in between holistic and traditional medicine and think both have their place. I've been spending a lot of time with a Golden Retriever who was diagnosed with 2 bad types of cancer right before Christmas, he was pretty bad and the regular vet advised putting him down sooner rather than later as the bone cancer is hard on them. The owners wanted to at least TRY something else, these dogs are their babies, so they visited a holisitic vet (who also uses traditional medicine in conjunction when needed)..... anyway here we are April 17th, and he's still doing pretty good, all considering.
They're not going to let him suffer but they, and I, really don't feel it's his time quite yet. They immediately began giving him some of these Chinese medicines that the vet recommended, getting acupuncture, etc etc, along with the traditional meds and pain meds etc, but anyway, they swear this is some kind of miracle drug they give him. It perks him right up. At this point they know his time is limited so they're kind of just doing whatever works right now (fighting the blood cancer and bone cancer), but she thinks about all of this missed good time they would've had with him if they had put him down like originally recommended. And maybe it's just pure luck or coincidence but meh, I'm a believer in a lot of different things and I don't think you can or should completely write anything off.
I just took the article as kind of funny because you see a lot of people blindly posting things on FB, etc, and usually from well intentioned animal lovers that are just clueless or ignorant. The PETA posts crack me up the most, and people think if you're an animal lover, you HAVE to be a huge peta supporter.
