I know WAY TOO MUCH about the local holistic vet scene that I can't say in

public, but I can

say that I endorse and Jim Sinning to the moon. I have helped mentor

since she

was just out of high school and she is 100% the real thing, her husband too.

It's really great

to see that they are finally out on their own and able to shine.

After practicing holistic veterinary medicine for over 20 years I sold my

practice in 1999 and

have been doing other things since. I really miss the good old days but I like

this new life

even more.

Incidentally, a truly holistic vet eschews all the real profit-making scams (90%

of what is

offered is unnecessary, dangerous and bogus) and therefore makes about 25% of

the income

of a conventional vet, they have to know regular medicine BETTER than the

conventional

ones, PLUS they must have knowledge of one or more forms of alternative medicine

(all

training is post-graduation and self-paid), and, worst of all, they WILL be

gunned down and

destroyed by the vet board sooner or later. Holistic practices also draw in the

nicest people in

the world, BUT ALSO every nut and psychopath in town! It's almost like taking a

sacred vow

of poverty to go this path, but most of us that did it, feel a spiritual calling

to do this and

could not sleep at night if we weren't true to ourselves.
