Eastern and Western Medicine
Meet A Southern Oncologist
The goal of this lecture is to educate family veterinarians and nurses on
non-traditional oncology therapies, mainly acupuncture and herbal supplements. Acupuncture
has had benefits for people undergoing chemotherapy, and we are starting to learn its benefits
in dogs and cats. The discussion will also include supplements like IM'Yunity. This is not a
promotion of these supplements, as their effectiveness is not completely known. Some clients
may not want to pursue chemotherapy, and knowing other potentially beneficial avenues for our patients are worth exploring.
