Animal Therapy

Alternative medicine, including animal therapy has been used by people in other cultures for many years.  Some treatments are very effective for some people.  Others may only work because the patient believes they will work, much like the way placebos sometimes work in medical experiments.  However, we believe that the more you know about the options, the more you will be able to make intelligent, informed decisions about the medical treatment or animal therapy program, which may be right for you and your particular medical conditions.  Please read our disclaimer.
