The Alternative Veterinary Medicine Centre
What is Holism?
Coined by Jan Smuts, the word holism applies to a way of thinking that recognises
the interconnectedness and interdependence of all things. In a veterinary context, it indicates the approach to a patient
that views the body (i.e. the collection of organs and tissues) as being greater than the sum of its parts, that
each part acts upon every other part and upon the whole and that each is in turn acted upon by every other part and by the
whole. No individual part can be considered separately. It also considers the body in the context of diet, lifestyle
and environment and the part that each of these factors plays in health and disease.

The Practice Principal is: Christopher Day (Chris Day), holistic vet, homeopathic vet and acupuncture vet of 35
years experience.
We commonly treat such ailments as:
CDRM (C.D.R.M.), Epilepsy, Arthritis, Colitis, Spondylosis, Hip Dysplasia, OCD, DJD, Cancer, Disc Disease, Cushings Syndrome,
Back Problems, Lameness, Skin Disease, Eczema, Allergic Dermatitis, Atopy, Sweet Itch, Laminitis, COPD (C.O.P.D.), Navicular
Syndrome, Periodic Ophthalmia (Moonblindness, Moon Blindness, Recurrent Ophthalmia or Recurrent Uveitis), Head Shaking
(Head-Shaking, Headshaking), Wobbler Syndrome, Sarcoid, Diarrhoea, Vomiting, Liver Disease (Hepatopathy), Jaundice, Lymphangitis,
Incontinence, False Pregnancy, Infertility, Corneal Ulcer, New Forest Eye, Mastitis etc.
In all cases, the principle used is to enable and facilitate the body's own extraordinary healing powers, to achieve
the result. Despite the fact that the case load of the AVMC is mostly animals that have failed to find help
through the conventional approach, in all manner of very refractory disease, we witness an encouragingly large percentage
of positive outcomes.
