Event Details

Presented by: Marty Goldstein, DVM

Holistic medicine has been highly criticized in our profession as sub-standard, almost too “airy-fairy”. However, aspects of therapies alternative to conventional, such as acupuncture, certain nutraceuticals, laser, etc. have gained acceptance, now backed by science. And this is just the tip of the iceberg on how vast these alternatives are and how they need to be integrated not only into daily practice but also into the educational system. This seminar will cover the basic tenants of “holistic” medicine with examples of just how effective it can be, especially when conventional therapies have failed to help terminally ill patients.

Learning Objectives:

1.    What is the purpose of disease and how the body heals
2.    Overview of biologically appropriate diet
3.    Overview of proper nutraceutical therapy and how in incorporate without fear of side effects or interactions
4.    The use of cryosurgery in practice
5.    Case examples demonstrating efficacy of integrative medicine
