Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

In this combination of New Age feminist and holistic medicine propaganda, the author berates the patriarchal society, the Food and Drug Administration, and industry generally. Her book emphasizes proper nutrition, but her recommendations, based on others' writings, are contradictory and conflict with current recommendations from the government's expert committee on the nutrition of dogs and cats. While some aspects of holistic medicine, such as massaging an animal to relax it, are valid, most remedies, such as using flower essences for slipped discs, are useless and could delay an owner's seeking proper treatment for a pet. Prescribing arsenic--a poison--for diarrhea is one of the book's potentially harmful recommendations. Furthermore, not all readers will be sympathetic with Stein's references to communicating with spirits and reincarnation. Although it occasionally provides useful information, this book should be avoided because the average reader will not be able to distinguish legitimate from dangerous advice-- A. Louis Shor, DVM, Veterinary Consultant, Mt. Laurel, N.J.

 THE AUTHOR SCOOP

Read any good books lately?My favorite reading is science fiction, there are new good books coming out every day.  Look at Sharon Shinn, Tamora Pierce, Ann Bishop, and so many more talented women fiction writers.If you had to boil your book's message down to one sentence, what would it be?Serve the Light, trust the Light, make a difference in the world with who you are and what you do.

What are you working on now?I prefer to keep future books a secret until they are finished.  No one will know until the manuscript is mailed in.Do you eat your vegetables?I have been a vegetarian since 1983.  I do eat my vegetables.If you had a superpower, what would it be?Wonder Woman, of course.How long did it take you to write this book?  I have been working with herbs for over 35 years, so you could say it took that long to write it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great information but beware New Age writing style, November 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Natural Healing for Dogs and Cats (Paperback)

I love this book. I enjoyed reading it and I use it as an occasional reference. I particularly like the Reiki healing and Flower Essence sections. The section on pet death was very beautiful. Unfortunately, when I tried to share this book with my husband, his masculinity was threatened by the exclusive use of the female pronouns and the references to The Patriarchy. Women are used to reading books with only male pronouns and with insults to women, but many men may be unable to read this book. Also, this book will appeal to the intuitively inclined, rather than to the scientific or literal minded. Diane Stein's book The Natural Remedy Book for Dogs and Cats covers many of the same topics in more detail, and written in a more universal style.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book but......, February 29, 2008

This review is from: Natural Healing for Dogs and Cats (Paperback)

This is a great book and I love all of Diane Stein's material but this is a lot of the same stuff that Dr. Wendell Belfield was teaching in the late 70's when I first started breeding German Shepherds. It is a well kept secret among breeders all over the world.

I have used the Mega C Plus and the Mega C drops from his company for my breeding dogs and have never had one bit of hip trouble. His link is http://www.belfield.com/about.php to get the best nutritional suppliments possible for your dog and cat!
