An old-school vet with an exclusively holistic practice, Dr. Cynthia Lankenau rolls with the punches. She will tell you that Traditional Chinese Medicine is only the tip of an older, more impressive iceberg called Classical Chinese Medicine—and that it’s only one modality she’s used to replace conventional medicine. She has seen Nixon open China, the rise of GMO’s, the death of family farms, and the rise of regulatory boards. More importantly, she has noted how these events’ effects trickle down to our beloved pets. Even as cancer rates rise and small animals experience heightened stress levels, she remains optimistic and continues to learn voraciously. After nearly forty years of practice, she continues to add to a veterinary arsenal that already includes reiki, homotoxicology, homeopathy, acupuncture, and herbs. Links Mentioned in Today’s Show:Chinese Classical Medicine Links: The Shang Han Lun, a Classical Chinese Medicine treatise on Cold Damage Diseaseshttps://www.amazon.com/Shang-Han-Lun-Translation-Commentaries/dp/0912111577The Wen Bing Xue, a Classical Chinese Medicine treatise on Warm Disease Theory https://www.amazon.com/Warm-Disease-Theory-Wen-Bing/dp/0912111747A summary on what Mao Zedong stripped from Classical Chinese Medicine to create the newer Traditional Chinese Medicinehttps://jingherbsblog.com/ccm-vs-tcm-whats-the-difference/Homeopathy versus Homotoxicologyhttps://natural-med.co.za/what-is-homotoxicology/Referrals for Other Holistic Vets Holistic Veterinarian Medical Association.https://www.ahvma.org/International Veterinary Acupuncture Society https://www.ivas.org/New York State Holistic Vetshttp://nyholisticvet.com/The Dog Cancer Survival Guide: Full Spectrum Treatments to Optimize Your Dog’s Life Quality and Longevity by Dr. Demian Dressler and Dr. Susan Ettinger.About Today’s Guest, Dr. Cynthia Lankenau, In her own words:While growing up on a dairy farm in the Hudson Valley of NY, I was instilled with a passion for animals and their care. My family also has an obsession with books and education. The blend of these two led me to veterinary medicine. I have always loved to watch animals graze in pasture, and then when practicing as a dairy veterinarian, I was fascinated in seeing how cows would seek out specific plants depending on their health issues. Over the years in my practice, I have seen an increase in immune disorders, cancers, and other chronic diseases concurrently with an increase in the toxicities of pharmaceutical drugs and their general decrease in overall effectiveness in case management. This trend added to the desire to help my clients which forced me to explore alternative treatment approaches: acupuncture, homeopathy, chiropractic and, most importantly, herbal medicine. With my clientele, I have found herbal medicine to be the most satisfying providing a strong foundation for the animal to heal. My love of herbal medicine keeps me always searching for more classes and more education. Other Links:If you would like to ask a dog cancer related question for one of our expert veterinarians to answer on a future Q&amp;A episode, call our Listener Line at 808-868-3200.Dog Cancer News is a free weekly newsletter that contains useful information designed to help your dog with cancer.
