Doctor’s Corner December 2007
It has been an eventful autumn for me. I traveled to Tulsa Oklahoma and
attended the American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association's annual
conference. As many of you are aware, I have been using acupuncture in
animals over the past five years with quite a bit of success. The Tulsa
conference provided a great deal of new information that I have
incorporated into my approach to patient care. I feel very fortunate to have
the ability to assess animals from both a modern (western) perspective and
a Chinese medical perspective. In addition to acupuncture, I am now
prescribing Chinese herbs along with specific dietary recommendations.
Many times, traditional drugs and surgery are not able to completely
support health in our animal patients. By combining the best of both
worlds, our patients are benefiting greatly. I have set aside specific
appointment times that are dedicated to this combination of eastern and
western medicine.
Recently, there has been increased awareness about Reiki, a hands on
healing modality that was brought to the United States in the early 1970's.
More and more human medical facilities are offering Reiki to patients as a
treatment option. Reiki is commonly used for relaxation before anesthesia,
recovery after surgery and to assist patients in controlling blood pressure.
I was trained in the first level of Reiki in the fall of 2002, and received my
mastership level in 2005. Animals love to receive Reiki and it seems to be
particularly helpful when an animal is stressed or ill. I have used Reiki
during my acupuncture treatments over the past five years. For those
clients who are interested in learning Reiki, I periodically offer classes.
Feel free to e-mail me with any inquiries about the classes.
I am offering a lecture entitled Energy, Emotions and Pets:
A New Paradigm for Healing, at Crescent Park School in Bethel
on Friday, February 29th at 7 pm.
I hope that you have joyous holidays, including a Happy New Year.
Sincerely,
Dr. Stuer
