Introducing myself to the group

September 19, 2003

Dear Attilio and group,

Sorry for delay in reply and in posting a message.

I have being looking in from time to time.

My interest in TCM is based in veterinary practice.

I have being using Chinese herbs to complement

my acupuncture cases mainly equine but some small

animal cases. This I have being doing for the past

six to seven years. Many conditions such as EIPH,

Azoturia, COPD , I will use herbs alone in the treatment.

in partnership with a TCM herbalist in 2000.

This is a direct market place for nutritional supplements

to the public. Please have a look at our site and you will

get a picture of where Im at.

We supply to some vets also but this is not exclusive.

Many vets do not have much faith or belief in herbs

or acupuncture. This is changing slowly.

I am a conventional vet first, then alternative. This in

my opinion is very important as it is so easy to be

knocked when you miss the obvious western diagnosis.

I am currently studying for a certificate in vet acupuncture

in the UK and intend pursuing a certificate in veterinary

herbalism in Belgium over the next two years.

I hope to be able to make a more meaningful contribution

to your list in the future.

Initially I was overwhelmed by the no of emails in my inbox

from your TCM group and it was difficult to find what was good

for me.

Now I read the messages online from the group page.

It is the herbalist in our company that has the TCM herbal

knowledge base as only now I am getting a training in it.

I basically treated my conditions with herbs as I would with any

medicine and have built up a knowledge of what works and

what doesnt.

Hoping to join in more in the future.

Best wishes,

Anthony Coyne MVB MRCVS.

Ireland.
