health: lessons in natural wellness from the animal kingdom (2002)
By Cindy Engel. Zoopharmacognosy, or animal
self-medication is a new field in biology. It explores the range of ways animals keep
themselves healthy, carefully separating scientifically verifiable fact from folklore,
hard data from daydreams. As with holistic medicine, there turns out to be more fact in
folklore than was previously thought. Animals eat plants that have medicinal properties.
They select the right foods for a nutritionally balanced diet, often doing a better job of
it than humans do. They even manipulate their own reproduction with chemistry, using some
plants as aphrodisiacs and others to enhance fertility. And animals have a great deal to
teach us!

stories of holistic healing with practical explanations of the underlying theories and
practice. The result is a book that works on many levels: as an entertaining read, a crash
course in acupuncture, chiropractic and herbal medicine and a testament to the will and
spirit of the animals Kelleher works with.
Dr. Donna Kelleher recounts her most intriguing cases as she takes us through the
intuitive art of diagnosing animals and effecting miraculous cures with safe, natural
treatments that succeed where conventional medicine has failed. Holistic medicine is their
last chance, and over and over again, Kelleher heals with the gentle powers of
acupuncture, animal nutrition, herbal treatments, and chiropractic. Her stories of
unforgettable, ailing animals -- and the people who fight to save them -- are truly
inspirational as she transforms the animals' health and the lives of those who love them.
The book includes advice on everything from vaccinations and commercial pet foods to
step-by-step instructions for simple, safe remedies for a multitude of common conditions,
including allergies, digestive problems, urinary tract infections, pain, hot spots, itchy
skin, fear, and anxiety.
