HEALTHY PETS
Pets at Risk: From Allergies to Cancer, Remedies for an Unsuspected Epidemic
Pets at Risk provides a clear guide for healing, written for both pet owners and veterinarians alike. Dr. Plechner explains that many health problems originate with genetic or acquired disturbances to the adrenal cortex production of cortisol, an important hormone. A domino effect ensues, affecting the hypothalamus- pituitary- adrenal axis. Other hormones go awry and immune function is compromised.
Dr. Plechner also identifies adverse environmental influences such as food intolerance, poor diet, toxins in the environment, and stress, among others, as factors that also may affect adrenal malfunction and overall pet health.
In Dr. Plechner’s therapy program, he uses a safe and effective combination of pharmaceutical and plant based (natural) cortisone preparations, depending on the severity and stage of disease. Many once-sick animals—some seriously ill—have made remarkable recoveries and lived long and healthy lives on this program. "My independent clinical experience shows that low-dose cortisone along with thyroid replacement, is hugely beneficial for restoring lost immune competence present in many canine conditions," explains Dr. Plechner. "In most affected felines, cortisol alone works."
The Drum Circle - by Christine Stevens, M.S.W.
by Alfred J. Plechner, DVM with Martin Zucker
This is clearly an important book about a revolutionary approach to understanding and treating the underlying causes of many challenging health problems experienced by pets. I can speak from experience as he saved the life of my cat, Jingles, a few years ago, when both conventional and alternative Veterinarians had expressed little hope after diagnosing him with a pre-cancerous condition (ed. Jim Strohecker).
"This method by Dr. Plechner has helped many thousands of pets lead normal happy lives. Without it, many would have been euthanized. This information is decades ahead of mainstream veterinary medicine."
—Albert J. Simpson, DVM
