What Readers Are Saying
“Dr. Fallek is one of few vets doing this courageous and important work. She’s unafraid to speak the truth about the underlying causes of many diseases in pets. She uses holistic medicine, which integrates body, mind, and spirit, to prevent and treat disease.”
—Dr. W. Jean Dodds, internationally published clinical research veterinarian
“I have a rescue pit bull named Chico with a history of abuse, resulting in anxiety and non-stop health issues, including paralysis after a rabies shot. I am so lucky to have found Marcie and grateful beyond words for her holistic care. Chico is now thirteen and healthier than he’s ever been. There is no way I would ever return to a typical vet after seeing the miracle of holistic vet care.”
—Anastasia Blades, senior director, production and project management, Digital Pharma

It is funny, smart, engrossing, and inspirational. Anyone looking for a fascinating perspective on the sometimes heartbreaking world of veterinary medicine needs to read this book!”

“I first met Dr. Marcie Fallek after my dog had been diagnosed with an ‘untreatable’ cancer and given two to three months to live. With her care he lived another two years. Reading how Dr. Fallek broke free of the conventional vet world and found the courage to pursue holistic healing despite economic consequences is not only illuminating; it’s inspiring.”
—Michelle Giancola, animal rescuer
“We don’t often consider the root causes of things; we simply want a cure. But in Dr. Fallek’s journey, we see that miracles are indeed everywhere when we take a different approach. This page-turner opened my eyes to a new way of caring for my pets. Dr. Fallek’s healings are awe-inspiring. If you have a four-legged friend, you have to get your paws on this book and read it for yourself!”
