Acknowledgments
I AM DEEPLY grateful to the many veterinarians who generously
shared their unique clinical experience and ideas about health and
healing. Among them are some of the true pioneers of veterinary
medicine, whose visions and innovations are finding growing accep-
tance today as more and more practitioners realize that good medi-
cine is not just treating symptoms with surgery and drugs. Thanks

I am particularly proud to have the voice of Norman Ralston,
DVM,
in this book. Ralston, a great holistic pioneer of veterinary
medicine for more than fifty years, passed away in 1999. The holis-
tic community misses him very much.
Special thanks to PJ Dempsey, senior editor at Crown Publishing
Group, whose friendship, encouragement, and editorial astuteness
much
did so to shape the appearance and content of this book.
And to Bob Silverstein, of Quicksilver Books, a superb agent and
caring friend.
