Wild Health – Natural Preventative and Curative Measures by Cindy Engel The Author is a shiatsu practitioner and qualified animal behaviourist, who sees the health-maintenance strategies used by wild animals as "the evolutionary genesis of today's holistic medicine". These are strategies that have survived millions of years of natural selection, and are based on prevention rather than cure.

Dolphin Assisted Therapy by David Wolgroch Between 1992 and 1995 I served as the Psychological Consultant to the Dolphin Reef in Eilat, Israel. The facility is located in a natural lagoon on the Red Sea Coast. It contained six (and later eight) Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins which served as the main attraction to the leisure complex offering a swimming beach, beachside pub and club, diving school and educational activities about Dolphins and the Coral Reef.

They Shoot Horses but Vaccinate Dogs by Chrissie Mason  Ph.D. Have you ever wondered why some dogs or cats continually experience skin problems? Have you ever wondered why your dog has to constantly have its anal glands evacuated? Have you ever wondered why your friend's dog experiences allergies to grass pollens, fleas, house dust mites etc?

The other day we were both at the chiropractor; Basil (the dog) had a sprained left shoulder and I had recently cricked my neck on the left side. "Can you see us together?" I asked, when making the appointment. The chiropractor in question is trained in McTimoney-Corley chiropractic and her practice embraces both people and animals, and so I booked a double appointment. He went first!
