Hi Nicole,
While I'm a homeopathic veterinarian, I'm not suggesting there's a homeopathic remedy to replace toxic heartworm prevention drugs. I'd hardly have produced over 50 pages of well thought out information to do that. One page would have done it, if that.
No, this book is not about substituting a natural product for a toxic one. It's ultimately about getting your animal so bullet proof to disease in general that heartworm resistance is a mere by product. By its nature, this is a holistic approach, and I spell out what I see over the years as the key areas that can be improved upon to build resistance.
It's a common misuse of the word "holistic" to imagine it means using a "natural" product for in place of a drug. We've got to think far beyond that. And that's where I've gone with my book.
