I like your approach to health. Do you know of a veterinary program that teaches terrain theory? Is there a way for a young person to become a veterinarian without being indoctrinated in germ theory?

Thank you for your interest!

I do not know of any specific veterinary program, though I am currently involved in creating an educational program for veterinarians through the Anthroposophia Foundation https://anthrofoundation.org/

I would love to some day have an educational system for animal practitioners outside of the conventional university. I think that day is coming, we just aren't there yet

For now, one of the best sources for terrain education(human-oriented, but applicable to animals) is at the University of Terrain https://anthrofoundation.org/

Best,

Dr Judy

I've been trying to come up with a good explanation of why pets get fleas. I don't have any with my pets, but so many people online claim to have huge issues. Even raw fed pets. What are the fleas attracted to specifically? 🤔 just general imbalance? There's almost more "natural" flea products these days, like you mentioned with supplements, battling them is still not the answer.

That is such a great question, and I also see the same variability in which pets get infested with fleas. I tend to think that they are attracted to inflammation, so in addition to the diet, minimizing unnecessary supplements and 'natural' therapies may help

Of course minimizing vaccines
