Miracle cures? Hocus pocus?  Holistic health approaches are neither, but have attracted increasing attention for good reason.  See our new tipsheet for
an overview.

Extra tips for folks concerned about animals:

*  As noted in past Dog Tips, antifreeze tastes sweet, so animals are attracted to licking it.  Yet it is a poison that causes a painful death.  Consumers can make a difference by pressing manufacturers and auto parts stores to produce and sell "embittered antifreeze", that in which a bad-tasting agent has been added.  For details, see http://www.ddal.org/antifreeze

*  For information about the inhumane treatment of seals, seal hunts and action being taken, visit http://www.ProtectSeals.org

*  The Certified Humane Raised and Handled label is intended to certify that animals receive a nutritious diet without antibiotics or hormones and are raised
with shelter, resting areas, and enough space to support natural behavior.  For a list of Certified Humane products and where to buy them, visit Humane
Farm Animal Care at www.certifiedhumane.com
