I recently attended a seminar where ayahuasca, a traditional brew of the Amazon has been linked with management of motor neuron disease. Back in September, on my way home from an acupuncture conference in Europe, we traveled through Amsterdam. When in Amsterdam, many tourist feel obliged to try some weed…
I have had a crazy, busy week adding a mentoring role to the clinic with my first two interns. Ebony and Rebecca are both veterinary nurses with an interest in canine rehabilitation. They have just completed their 40 hour internship with me and it has been a real pleasure to…

A little over two years ago, Tess’ owner brought her to me in need of help. She had just been diagnosed with bladder cancer and had been recommended by her groomer to see what ‘Aunty Kim’ could do. Although I had not treated Tess before, she was well known to…
Happy Father’s Day Dad and thanks for reuniting ‘Black Cat’ with his owner. So this little story is not about my herbal medicine, acupuncture or any veterinary skills. It is about the love of animals and kindness to them that my dad taught us as we were growing up. I…

On the one hand was a lecture on the possible association of feed raw chicken with polyradiculoneuritis (coonhound paralysis) and across…
