This source guide is in three parts. Listed first is a compendium of holistic resources. What follows is a listing of veterinarians with whom I’ve interacted or have become familiar. The third section lists the manufacturers whose products I use in my practice.
As any reader of the preceding pages knows, many of the products I administer are packaged for humans and readily available at health food stores. Several of those products, however, are available only to licensed practitioners through distributors. I’ve mentioned these products throughout the book to be forthcoming about what I use, and I offer the following list of manufacturers in the same spirit. Please do not call or write those manufacturers who, as noted, sell only to practitioners or wholesale. Instead, show the source guide to your veterinarian, and let him or her use it as needed.
Since my full-time job is veterinarian, not product sampler, there may be other manufacturers whose holistic products are first-rate but are not listed here, simply because I haven’t heard of them or haven’t had a chance to try them yet. Please don’t assume that a manufacturer omitted is necessarily inferior to those on the list. Ask around, get second opinions—and if you’re impressed with the results, let me know!

Alternative Solutions to Animal Health, Inc., is the nonprofit foundation that I founded. Some of the goals of this corporate endeavor are to investigate and compile all of the data accrued over twenty-five years of alternative veterinary practice into retrospective studies to be published in referred veterinary journals; to conduct prospective scientific veterinary research for the purpose of preventing, controlling, remediating, and, indeed, even “curing” cancer and other chronic degenerative diseases using holistic treatment modalities; and to disseminate this information for the purpose of educating and informing both veterinarians and laypersons alike about the efficacy of cancer treatment strategies that minimize the use of drugs and other widely used toxic treatment methods. Furthermore, the foundation would like to conduct a certain percentage of pro bono cases, such that viable non-toxic therapies can be made available to cancer patients whose owners could otherwise not afford them. All donations are gratefully acknowledged.

Biovet has been a pioneer in the application of the age-and disease-retarding antioxidant known as superoxide dismutase (SOD), both for people and pets. My favorite is AOX/PLX, which is particularly helpful with arthritis. Biovet also has a line of combination antioxidants called “Canine Support” and “Feline Support.” Its new specialty is substances that repair misshapen red blood cells in just hours or a day or two, a boon in the treatment of damaged internal organs, especially the liver.

Along with a number of products for general pet problems—arthritis, cold and flu, trauma—I use Quietiva for stress; Thyroid for thyroid problems; Asthmica for asthma, and Gastrica for gastrointestinal problems. Botanical Laboratories also carries an over-the-counter line of homeopathics called Natra-Bio. Though not as concentrated as Complimed, it’s often just as effective, and I use a lot of it, especially Bladder Irritation, Teeth and Gums, and Head Cold.

Some are available only to licensed practitioners, but thuja and silicea are available over the counter.

Halo, Purely for Pets®
3438 East Lake Road, #14
Palm Harbor, FL 34685
(813) 854-2214
Halo distributes Anitra’s Vita-Mineral Mix, a dietary powder that helps support bones, teeth, joints, and ligaments; calms nervous pets; helps eliminate shedding, dandruff, and greasy coat syndrome; and provides all the water-soluble vitamins missing from processed foods. Mixed in with a pet’s regular food, it’s also a tasty supplement. Anitra’s Herbal Eyewash, available through Halo, is the most useful cleanser I’ve found to flush out irritants and rinse reddened eyes; I’ve also used it medicinally, for ulcerations of the eye. Dream Coat, one of Halo’s best-sellers, is a liquid blend of oils that helps stop shedding, itching, scratching, dandruff, and dry skin. All these products, along with other supplements and herbal grooming aids, may be ordered from the above number.
Heel, Inc.
11600 Cochiti SE
Albuquerque, NM 87123-3376
(800) 621-7644
In 1936, German physician Dr. Hans-Heinrich Reckeweg created the first of his Heel homeopathic complex remedies. In 1979, having moved to the U.S., he created a second line, BHI. Since his death in 1985, the Heel company has carried on his work, and is regarded as one of the most distinguished producers of homeopathic remedies today. Among the dozens of Heel products, the best-seller is Traumeel, well known as an anti-inflammatory and analgesic. BHI’s products are also homeopathic combinations, designed to address the parts of the body for which they’re named: Sinus, Allergy, Stomach, Headache, and so forth. Heel sells only to licensed practitioners and distributors; if you can’t find their products at your local health food store, consult a holistic veterinarian.
Institute for Traditional Medicine
2017 Southeast Hawthorne
Portland, OR, 97214
(800) 544-7504
The institute sells (and in some cases formulates) Chinese herbs for both people and pets, including Seven Forests. It prefers to sell to practitioners (who can buy the herbs wholesale), especially those who are already schooled in the properties of their products. Among the products often ordered for pets by holistic veterinarians are Omphalia II, a good parasite fighter; Drynaria, for arthritis; and Akebia for kidney problems. The institute also has several herbs useful in combating cancer.
Kroeger Herbs
805 Walnut Street
Boulder, CO 80302
(303) 443-0261
Though most of its products are designed for people, Kroeger Herbs offers a number of herbal formulas meant “to create an unfriendly environment” for parasites. Rascal is for tapeworms, Wormwood Combination is for roundworms, and Spiro Kete is for spirochetes. Kroeger also provides various homeopathic remedies for pets. Though it operates only as a wholesale outlet, its products may be ordered retail through its sister operation, Hannah’s Herb Shop, 5681 Valmont Road, Boulder, CO 80301; (800) 206-6722.
Lucas Meyer, Inc.
P.O. Box 3218
Decatur, IL 62524
(217) 875-3660
Lucas Meyer is a supplier of the natural, fat-like substance called Phosphatidylserine (PS), which is used in many supplements for both people and pets. PS was first extracted in the mid-1980s to combat Alzheimer’s disease. Since then, it has been recognized as having broader implications in the promotion of health and the reduction of stress. Lucas Meyer’s PS is actually manufactured from soybean lecithin; administered to pets as a supplement called Pet-PS, it’s been observed to be an aid not only in cognitive problems (i.e., the mental confusion of advancing age) but joint problems, coat and skin conditioning, and wound healing. Though Lucas Meyer is only a raw supplier, it can advise readers how to find Pet-PS at stores in their area.
Melaleuca, Inc.
3910 South Yellowstone Highway
Idaho Falls, ID 83402
(800) 282-3000
For pets, Melaleuca offers ProCare nutritional treats, herbal shampoos, and a coat lusterizer. A number of the products Melaleuca produces for people, however, are excellent for pets. The product we use most is tea tree oil (the scientific name is … melaleuca!), from the Australian tea tree; it’s used as an antiseptic for ringworm or fungi, but also appears in their tea tree shampoo. Both wholesale and retail orders may be placed at the above number.
Miller Pharmacal Group, Inc.
350 Randy Road, Unit 2
Carol Stream, IL 60188
(800) 323-2935
Miller, which sells mainly to doctors, is one of my principal sources of animal glandulars. A staple of my practice is Mil Adrene, a raw adrenal glandular. Miller also has glandulars for the liver, heart, kidney, and stomach, among others. For the most part, these are “straight” glandulars, which is to say that no vitamins or minerals have been mixed into them. Sometimes the vitamins and minerals can help, but in other cases, the “straight” stuff is best.
NESS
8500 Northwest River Park Drive, #233
Parkveal, MO 64152
(800) 637-7893
NESS, which distributes only to licensed practitioners, is a prime source for Smith Ridge of enzyme powders and capsules for pets. The product line is called Vetzimes: V1 is a multiple digestive enzyme for dogs, V2 is a digestive enzyme for cats, V3 is an enzyme for healthy hair, coat, and skin for both dogs and cats, V4 is an enzyme for stronger immune systems for dogs and cats, and V5 is an enzyme for the feline urinary tract. (V1, V2, V3, and V5 are powders; V4 is a capsule.)

Norfields was created with the intention and commitment to provide the best and most advanced magnetic therapy available for horses. With ten years of growing experience and success, Norfields Magnetic Therapy products have been clinically tested and are equally effective on bone, soft tissue, vascular problems, and injuries. The products are extremely useful both preventatively, to soothe and relax aching joints and muscles, and post injury and/or surgery, to speed up the recovery process. Nor-fields products give an edge to the athletic performance of all horses. Equally effective for dogs and cats. Norfields has a strong veterinary board consisting of equine practitioners who are using and testing our products and are familiar with our application techniques. Our board includes not only veterinarians (of which Martin Goldstein is one), but physical therapists, blacksmiths, and practitioners of holistic equine health.
Nu Biologics, Inc.
30 West 100 Butterfield Road
Warrenville, IL 60555
(800) 332-3130
For the most part, Nu Biologics supplies to chiropractors. Many of its products are useful for pets, however, including its glandulars. Specifically for pets, Nu Biologics carries a product called Eco-VM (Imhotep), a topical spray from grapefruit seed extract for general irritation and first-aid needs; Eco-VM Ear Care, a cleanser; and Seed-A-Sept, another grapefruit seed extract good for soaking inflamed ears. It also carries Progressive Labs, which has a thyroid supplement called Tri-40, GSC, a glandular for stress complex, and Adrenal Chelate, for adrenal support. Both wholesale and retail orders may be placed at the above number.
Nutramax Labs, Inc.
5024 Campbell Blvd
Baltimore, MD 21236
(800) 925-5187
Nutramax has three important veterinary products, all created at its own laboratories and available only to licensed practitioners. The first is Cosequin, which stimulates the production of cartilage cells, and so is useful for stiff joints and arthritis; I think it’s the best supplement available for arthritis.

Carbondale, IL 62901
(800) 851-3551
Mostly products for people, but a few pet products, including shampoos and nutrition tablets. We use Nutrition Headquarters as our source for the common vitamins, such as A, C, and E, though of course these vitamins are available everywhere.

Quantum Herbal Products Ltd.
20 DeWitt Drive
Saugerties, NY 12477
(800) 348-0398 or (914) 246-1344
Most of Quantum’s products are intended for people, but they help animals, too. For pets in particular, Quantum makes a very effective and utterly nontoxic spray concentrate for fleas and ticks called, logically enough, 100% Natural Flea & Tick Repellant. Its primary ingredients are oils of erigeron, cajeput, and rose geranium, but it also contains concentrates of St. John’s Wort, wormwood, black walnut, neem, and rue. I order it by the caseload. Quantum also makes Pet Salve, a topical salve for hot spots and other skin irritations, which stops pets from licking. Though Quantum sells mostly wholesale to health food stores, it does do mail-order business with customers who don’t live near a retail outlet that stocks its products. Orders and requests for product brochures may be made at the above number.
Similasan Homeopathic Remedies
1321 South Central, Suite D
Kent, WA 98032
(800) 426-1644
Similasan Homeopathic is the U.S. distributor for about a dozen of the hundred remedies for both people and pets produced by its Swiss parent company. Its Similasan #1 eyedrops alleviate red, dry eyes; its #2 eyedrop formula is designed for eye symptoms brought on by allergies. I’m also fond of Similasan’s homeopathic nasal spray and three different homeopathic cough remedies for different cough symptoms. Though it sells directly only to practitioners, health food stores, and pharmacies, it will mail catalogs upon request and steer customers to nearby outlets that stock its products.

Standard Process Labs
P.O. Box 904
1200 West Royal Lee Drive
Palmyra, WI 53156
(800) 558-8740
Standard is the company that set the standard; it is the original distributor of glandulars formulated by Dr. Royal Lee in the late 1920s. Most of Standard’s products are still designed for people, but an increasing number of veterinarians are using them. I order pure glandulars from Standard such as Drenatrophin (raw adrenal concentrate), and Pancreatrophin (raw pancreas), as well as Neurotrophin for epilepsy and brain tumors. Standard also carries whole-food vitamin and mineral products that include glandulars. (Dr. Lee felt that to be effective, whole-food nutrients need vitamins, minerals, and proteins; the glandulars supply the protein.) There are specific formulations for ailments, and others for replenishing the body’s nutrient storehouses. One of the most popular choices among Standard’s 140 products is Immuplex, for supporting the immune system. Standard Process sells only to licensed practitioners.
Vetri-Science Laboratories
20 New England Drive
Essex Junction, VT 05453-1504
(800) 882-9993
Vetri-Science’s best-selling product is Glyco-Flex, concocted from the green-lipped mussel, which contains glycosaminoglycans (including chondroitin sulfates) to help restore connective tissue. (It’s similar to Cosequin.) I’ve used it particularly to treat arthritis and hip dysplasia, as well as torn cartilage, in dogs. Glyco-Flex also helps reduce inflammation. Vetri-Science has two other joint therapy products: Vetri-Disc (used in the treatment of spondylosis deformans); and Glucosamine (single-source and multisource), which supplies cats with needed minerals (and is essentially Cosequin at a less expensive cost). It also sells a product called Acetylator, good for treatment of inflammatory bowel disease; anti-oxidants; and various vitamins, chiefly Canine Plus and Nu-Cat. All of Vetri-Science’s products are available only to licensed practitioners.
