NEW HOLISTIC THERAPIES FOR PETS

by Teresa Garden, DVM


Recently Animal Health & Healing has expanded its array of holistic therapeutic modalities. In 2006 we introduced Alpha-Stimulation and as of 2008 we offer Bicom 2000. Both of these modalities are safe, gentle, non-invasive means of helping our patients to combat a variety of disorders.

ALPHA-STIMULATION
Alpha-Stim 100 is an FDA approved prescription medical device. It is a combined micro current therapy (MET) and cranial electrotherapy stimulation (CES) device to treat pain, anxiety, wounds, and behavioral disorders in pets. Alpha-Stim works by generating an electrical wave-form that allows your pets cells to operate naturally and bring relief. The wave-form moves electrons throughout the pet's body and brain at a variety of frequencies, collectively known as harmonic resonance. The relief from Alpha-Stim is residual and cumulative, resulting is less frequent use. This modality works well with other treatment protocols and is effective as a stand-alone therapy. It is a safe drugless therapy that can be administrated by the pet owner at home.
At Animal Health & Healing we have employed Alpha-Stim to treat chronic pain arising from injuries, disc disease, and osteoarthritis. It has helped calm our patients afflicted with anxiety and aggression disorders. It has been shown to be effective in treating lick granulomas, feline hyperesthesia syndrome, and separation anxiety. Clients may rent the Alpha-Stim units to use at home to treat short-term problems. The units can be purchased by clients to treat long-term chronic problems in their pets.
Alpha-Stimulation has been used worldwide since 1981. Over one hundred studies in humans and 29 studies in animals prove the positive results obtained with this holistic modality. For more information please visit www.alpha-stim.com.


BICOM 2000
Bicom 2000 is a computerized diagnostic and therapy tool which has more than 27 years of international clinical experience in human medicine. It is now available to treat many ailments in our dogs and cats. This safe and non-invasive protocol uses electrodes to diagnose and treat conditions with electromagnetic resonance therapy. Cells within our bodies communicate through electromagnetic signals. These cell patterns can be disturbed by bacteria, toxins, heavy metals, parasites, and allergens-resulting in chronic disease. Bicom 2000 can discover and treat these disturbances by sending electromagnetic frequencies and biofeedback information to the pet through modulation therapy mats. A series of therapy sessions is usually required to treat chronic disease. Therapy programs can also be transferred to vials of water that can be added to your pet’s water bowl for further treatment between sessions.
Many ailments can be helped with Bicom 2000: allergies, arthritis, auto-immune disorders, gastrointestinal disease, pain, urinary problems, and wound management. Diagnostic testing is performed on environmental factors that may be adversely affecting your pet’s health. At Animal Health & Healing we can employ Bicom 2000 to test food, supplements, water, bedding, toys, and cleaning products to determine if they have a positive or negative effect on your pet. Bicom 2000 allows us to discover and eliminate factors that disrupt the body’s natural communication system. Removing these “blockages” allows the body to self-regulate and heal.
Bicom 2000 is a highly effective and pleasant energy modulation without harmful side effects. It can treat chronic illnesses and eliminate allergies. It is also used to detox chemicals, bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi, mold and heavy metals. Bicom therapy can result in a noticeable and lasting improvement in the health of your pet.
