The main focus of veterinary holistic medicine is prevention of disease through natural diets, proper exercise and training and mineral, vitamin & herbal supplementation. The holistic perspective of healing recognizes that the whole body must be in balance for good health to exist. This means not only treating the physical symptoms of a disease but also supporting the body's immune and organ systems in healing the disease, or imbalance, itself. Prevention of disease is encouraged by taking an assessment of the mind, body, spirit and environment, and making the necessary changes to support the well being of your pet.

Herbs are special plants that Nature gave us to assist us in Healing ourselves, and our animals.

...and to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to everything that creepeth upon the Earth wherein there is Life, I have given every green herb for meat; and it was so.

Here's what one of Dr. Basko's clients has to say....

Thirteen months ago my l2 year old dog was diagnosed with lymphosarcoma of the liver, x-rays showed her spleen greatly enlarged, and a blood test showed pancreatitis. Her conventional vet recommended surgical biopsy with removal of spleen and parts of the liver followed by chemo if cancer was detected. Prognosis for cancer in this area is terminal within 3 months to a year.

We heard of a holistic doctor who healed a cat without surgery and asked him for a second opinion. His house call was the start of a remarkable healing experience for my dog, Vicky. Through acupuncture, light therapy, supplements, and guided diet, she has made a complete recovery from her illness. Her other option, surgery, would have weakened or killed her, and I will always be grateful to Dr. Basko for sparing her the ordeal of surgery and chemo.

Later, Vicky's back legs were starting to "drag" and she limped on her front leg. Dr. B's joint supplements and acupuncture have practically eliminated these problems (they return when I don't keep up the supplements and acupuncture).

He is the only vet I've experienced who: doesn't rush each appointment;
comes out to greet the animal outside of the exam room; provides towels on the table so that the animal won't be on an ice-cold slab; establishes E-mail advice for his patients; has a weekly educational radio show for animals (I take notes because it is so informative); and is a nutrition expert.

My neighbors and family are witnesses to Vicky who went from a terminal illness to a bright-eyed, glossy-coated, barking l3-year old, who will probably live much longer. My family and I were sent an angel, Dr. Ihor Basko.

ANXIETY & STRESS
A comprehensive formula designed for pets that suffer from hyperactivity, anxiety and environmentally induced stress. Helps curb destructive behavior and soothe general nervous conditions. Unlike products that act only as sedatives, RESOURCES is a complex blend of natural ingredients such as Kava Kava, Melatonin, Passionflower, and essential minerals that balance the calming effects between the central nervous system and the heart. Ginkgo Biloba and B vitamins improve blood circulation and increase oxygen metabolism in the brain. This proprietary blend assists in reducing anxiety and stress without effecting your pet's emotional balance and personality. Proper behavioral modification training is also encouraged.

ANTIOXIDANTS with Coenzyme Q 10
A unique formula specifically developed to provide a natural powerful blend of antioxidants for pets. The polyphenols found in Green Tea along with antioxidant vitamins C & E, and Co Q-10 aid in the elimination of unstable oxygen molecules. These molecules called free radicals, can damage cell structures including DNA and have been shown to be responsible for the initiation of many diseases including heart disease and cancer. Specifically recommended for dogs or cats with skin conditions, allergies, respiratory infections, heart disease, cancer, arthritis, chronic ear infections, or other chronic infections.

BLOOD & ENERGY
A natural dietary supplement recommended for all active dogs, pregnant dogs, or dogs suffering from anemia, significant blood loss, post surgical weakness, after birthing recovery, heavy parasite infection, or symptoms associated with auto-immune hemolytic disease. The formula contains Chlorella, a green algae rich in RNA/DNA, which rejuvenates and stimulates the build up of cells. Beef liver provides iron and vitamin B12, which are essential for the formation of hemoglobin. Higher levels of hemoglobin increase the supply of oxygen and improve the level of energy and vitality of your dog. Angelica sinensis increases the number of red blood cells, and platelets, plus improves blood circulation by reducing vasoconstriction in peripheral vessels. Red Raspberry helps tone the uterus, brings fluid to the birth canal, tightens the uterus muscles postpartum and helps prevent infection.


BONE & JOINT SUPPORT
A complex formula containing Perna Mussel and Sea Cucumber, which are natural sources rich in mucopolysaccharides essential for rebuilding cartilage and regenerating synovial joint fluid. Also contains strong antioxidants to eliminate free radicals, anti-inflammatory herbs, calcium, and active blood conditioning agents. Recommended for all dogs with degenerative joint disease (DJD) such as hip and elbow dysplasia, shoulder or elbow problems (OCD, FCP), panosteitis, spinal weakness, arthritis, and other orthopedic conditions or post surgical healing of fractures.

CARDIOVASCULAR SUPPORT
A well-rounded formula targeting the entire cardiovascular system. Includes the essential nutrients Vitamin E, Magnesium, and Selenium supported by strong antioxidants such as Grape Seed extract, Coenzyme Q-10, and Siberian Ginseng. Hawthorn has been included to improve blood flow by strengthening heart constrictions. Essential amino acids assist in transporting oxygen to the cells allowing the heart to use energy more efficiently. Recommended for dogs with congestive heart failure or other congenital heart abnormalities. Conditions include Cardiomyopathy, mitral valve insufficiency, and pulmonary edema.

CAS OPTIONS
Scientists from the American Institute for Cancer Research recently stated that mounting scientific evidence strongly suggests a wider role for natural supplements for patients diagnosed with cancer or currently under treatment. CAS Options provides a concentrated synergistic blend of Reishi, Maitake, and Shiitake mushrooms, combined with the strong antioxidants found in Coenzyme Q-10, Green Tea, and Selenium to help the immune system, reduce inflammation, and has anti-tumor effects. Recommended for dogs or cats with sarcomas, mast-cell tumors, melanomas, lymphoma, and other forms of cancer. Also recommended for pets being treated with chemo or radiation therapy.

IMMUNE SYSTEM SUPPORT
A synergistic blend combining Bee Pollen, Astragalus, Vitamin C, Garlic, and L-lysine specifically targeted to stimulate the feline immune system. The immune system is in a complex process that is continually under attack and must be supported in order to maintain a cat's good health and resistance to infection. Recommended for cats suffering from immune system deficiency, chronic respiratory infections or other viral conditions such as FIV or Feline Leukemia Virus. It is also beneficial for healthy cats living in multiple cat environments.

INCONTINENCE
Urinary incontinence may be caused by an underdeveloped urinary system or may arise as part of the aging process. Anatomical abnormalities may lead to weakened muscles in the bladder and sphincter, causing urine leakage. These episodes may be occasional, frequent, or almost continuous in severe cases. Bee Pollen and Rehmannia help kidney function by providing vital nourishment to the blood and vital organs. Wild Yam and Angelica deliver essential phyto-estrogens, which strengthen the bladder and sphincter muscles while Psorelia improves overall bladder function.

JOINT SUPPORT PLUS
A superior blend of Glucosamine sulfate, Perna Mussel, Sea Cucumber, MSM, antioxidants and anti-inflammatory herbs delivered in highly absorbable forms. Glucosamine sulfate, delivered in adequate quantities, stimulates the production of glycosaminoglycans (GAG's) and promotes the incorporation of sulfur into joint cartilage. This process promotes cartilage synthesis and helps the body repair damaged joints. Recommended for adult dogs suffering from pain, stiffness, lameness, inflammation, and other symptoms associated with arthritis and other degenerative joint diseases.

PAIN PLUS
An extra strength formula utilizing the natural anti-inflammatory properties found in Yucca, Licorice, and Boswellia. The antioxidant properties of the enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD) are provided through manganese supplementation. Recommended for pets suffering from inflammation in tendons and muscles or pain associated with soft tissue damage, arthritis, and the aging process.

URINARY TRACT SUPPORT
An optimum blend of powerful herbs and mushrooms formulated for dogs or cats combating urinary tract infections. Contains natural antimicrobial agents such as Cranberry and Uva Ursi. Cranberry also reduces the ability of bacteria to adhere to the lining of the bladder and urethra. Poria and Polyporus mushrooms act as natural diuretics to stimulate urine output while Marshmallow soothes inflamed and irritated membranes. Recommended for pets suffering from Cystitis (Urinary Tract Infections), bladder stones, bladder inflammation, and associated symptoms.

VITAMINS & MINERALS
A full spectrum daily supplement designed to supply essential nutrients typically lacking in commercial pet diets. A comprehensive synergistic blend of vitamins, chelated minerals, herbs, antioxidants, enzymes, and essential fatty acids specifically formulated for the various developmental stages of canines and felines.
