What is Integrative Medicine?
Integrated Medicine is a union of ancient healing wisdom, energy medicine, and modern
medical care. All are necessary for the well-being of our patients.
Many years ago, Albert Einstein proved to the world that matter and energy are dependent on
each other. In his equation, E=mc2, "E" represents the energy of a system, "m" is the
physical mass, and "c" is a constant (the speed of light". Einstein's equation applies equally to
inanimate objects as well as living beings. The energetic core (E) lies within the structure of
the physical body (m), and is the foundation of life.
Modern medicine has made great strides in the science of diagnosis and the treatment of injury
and illness. But it does not recognize the importance of the energetic core, which interacts
with the cellular, chemical, and hormonal systems of the body. After addressing a patient's
immediate physical needs, Dr. Stuer uses the ancient healing wisdom of acupuncture and
Chinese herbs, along with energy medicine tools, such as flower essences and homeopathy. By
intervening at the energetic level, Dr. Stuer promotes long term health and wellness in his
patients.

The Goal of Integrative Medicine
Dr. Stuer's goal is to identify areas of energetic weaknesses for each pet, so he can strengthen
their energetic core. The focus of integrative medicine is on prevention of illness, rather than
the identification and treatment of individual symptoms of disease.

The Energy of Emotions
Animals in general, and pets in particular, fully experience energies from their environment.
Unlike their human caretakers, pets are always open, no matter what the circumstance.
Animals do not create physical or energetic barriers. They are continuously bathed in the
energies of human emotion, feeling what we feel, and absorbing both high and low vibrations.
Although we understand that emotions affect our own physical well-being, we do not recognize
their impact on our animal companions. As Dr. Stuer examines the energetic health of each
pet, he identifies and removes the low energy emotions that are held in their energetic core
and replaces them with high frequencies.

Elements of Nature
The Chinese medical system is based on careful observations that have been made over
thousands of years. These observations include both physical and non-physical
characteristics. Over time, Chinese practitioners identified five unique "types" of individuals.
They used the elements of nature to describe people: earth, fire, metal, water and wood. These
elemental types relate to the energetic core of each patient.

Patterns of Disease
Eventually, Chinese practitioners connected the patient's type with predictable patterns of
illness.
What does that mean for us? If we combine the observations of Chinese medicine with
Einstein's theory of energy, we realize that illness occurs in predictable ways when the
energetic core weakens. As a patient develops illness, the root cause at the energetic core must
be addressed. Otherwise, additional health problems will arise and become more serious as the
core weakens further.

Specific Patterns of Disease
The two most common elemental types seen by Dr. Stuer are wood and earth. Disease often
shows up in the following predictable patterns:
Earth - moist skin infections, chronic ear infections, anal gland issues, bladder infections, fatty
tumors, severe mouth odor, body odor, cysts, arthritis, etc.
Wood - dry skin, anxiety, fear, hyperactivity, dominance aggression, low energy levels, joint
problems, allergies, etc.
These are only two of the many patterns that occur in animals.

What to expect during an evaluation:
The first portion of the evaluation includes a detailed history of the patient's symptoms,
information about diet and exercise, and a review of medications that have been used in the
past. The hands-on examination begins with a complete physical exam followed by a Chinese
medical evaluation.

What to Expect for a Treatment:
Patients will receive acupuncture and/or accupressure. Chinese herbs are usually prescribed
and on occasion, homeopathic remedies are suggested. During each treatment, patients
receive an energetic clearing to enhance energy flow in the physical body. If there are acute,
serious health problems, Dr. Stuer will recommend medications until the patient's health has
improved. In addition, there will be specific dietary recommendations. Follow-up evaluations
will be scheduled according to the individual needs of the patient.
