PEMF, Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field Therapy, is not a new invention. People started experimenting with using electrical currents on various conditions as far back as the 1700s, but it wasn’t until the 1950s that scientists seriously started researching electricity’s bone-healing properties. PEMF treatment on fractures in people begun in the 1970s, and today, it is approved […]
Amber Against Canine Ticks?
We live in the northeastern US and have a lot of ticks, even in the city. We used to put Frontline on our dog Sadie but stopped after a few summers because I didn’t like how she reacted to it. She would get very lethargic for a few days, wasn’t herself at all, and it […]
Cushing’s And Tong Ren – Our Experience
In October of 2009, our Scottie Sadie was diagnosed with Cushing’s disease.

EFT Helps A Dog With Aggression
Today’s featured healing modality is EFT, or Emotional Freedom Technique. It is a really interesting and (on the surface at least) easy method to clear up mental and physical issues. I say on the surface, because you have to get to the root of the problem, and figuring out just which stressful event led to […]
