This would be good if it indicated that animals are living longer, and often this is the case. The problem is when animals too young to have symptoms of degeneration become enfeebled. It is not enough. Holistic medicine once again focuses on prevention. By correcting the diet and lifestyle of the patient most chronic symptoms of aging can be reversed.
Many studies exist of humans living in harmony with nature who live extended lives of good health.
By combining modern hygiene and good nutrition the results are spectacular. The same considerations apply to animals. It is not uncommon to see a naturally-reared dog or cat in the late teens who looks and appears to feel about 3 years old. This is holistic. Every form of alternative medicine has safe remedies for the cure and prevention of premature aging and geriatric degeneration.
