2016 AHVMA Conference • COLUMBUS, OHIO
Welcome!
I
t is my pleasure to welcome you to the 2016 AHVMA Annual Conference in Columbus,
Ohio. Besides being the culmination of our 30th Year as an organization, this Conference
promises to be one of the most inclusive, far ranging and best attended conferences in
that 30 years! There is so much going on that I am sure you will be torn trying to decide which
session to attend during any given time slot. Thank goodness for the great audio recordings.
They are well worth the price so remember to order them there!
This year’s Exhibit Hall is the most inclusive you will find for all your practice needs, and it is 30%
larger than last year! Be sure to spend as much time there as you can. Our exhibitors are not only
a source of products, services and support but also have a tremendous store of knowledge and
experience to share with us. We are also welcoming two new classes of AHVMA Membership: Our new Technician and
Support Staff category, and our new Associate Membership for companies related to the veterinary profession.
Because balance in Conferences, as in Life, is so important, we’ve planned a number of social events to give you
ample opportunity to reconnect with old friends, make new ones, and have fun with a great group of people. Be
sure to attend the Banquet Gala, and support the Silent Auction that benefits the AHVM Foundation! We have been
working on some new ideas and an expedited checkout system for the Auction. Remember the real auction winners
are the students.
Once again, our Conference Committee has done a wonderful job this year and I want to thank them, both personally
and as President, for creating this wonderful environment in which to share. I want to take a moment and thank our
retiring Chairperson, Dr. Deb Mitchell for her incredible work.
Last but by far not least, I want to also thank our intrepid Executive Director, Dr. Charles Emely and his tireless staff,
Lauana and Wendy, for all their hard work and dedication.
I am sure your time in Columbus will bring added joy and light into your practices and your lives.

AHVMA 2016 Conference
– A great
opportunity
to learn, connect and earn CE credits
AAVSB RACE APPROVAL
The 2016 AHVMA Annual Conference is another record breaker for AHVMA. The 2016 AHVMA Annual
Conference (RACE Program: 131-25741) has been approved for a total of 94 hours of continuing education
credit in jurisdictions that recognize AAVSB RACE approval; however, participants are responsible for
ascertaining each board’s CE requirements.
Veterinarians and Veterinary Technicians can earn a maximum of 22 available AAVSB RACE approved CE
credits. Our conference is open to veterinarians, veterinary technicians, veterinary students, and others
interested in complementary and alternative veterinary medicine. However, only registered veterinarians and
veterinary technicians will receive a certificate of attendance.
AVMA House of Delegates
Through member growth and continued commitment, we have once again maintained our position as a
proud member of the AVMA House of Delegates. As a constituent/satellite/allied organization of the AVMA,
many states grant blanket approval for AHVMA Provided Continuing Education.
Whether you have been a member for over 30 years or just joined today, AHVMA would like to thank each
and every member. All of you have made this possible. Despite humble beginnings, AHVMA has become a
major resource and the voice of integrative veterinary medicine.
Help us lead the way; join AHVMA, bring your technicians, refer a colleague, join a committee. Every
member matters.
2016 Hands-on Lab
This year’s lab “Skull and Spine Manual Therapy” with Dr. Laurie McCauley, will be offered twice. Lab
attendance is limited so if you are interested, YOU MUST SIGN UP IN ADVANCE. There is a small additional
fee for attending.
2016 Exhibitor Hosted Breakfast Meetings
Sponsored Breakfast Meetings are held each morning from 6:50 – 7:40 am. Please see daily schedule for
listing of host companies, speakers and topics. You must have a ticket to attend. Some meetings may
already be full, as space is limited.

Vaccination: Then and Now
Objective: Discussion of the origin of vaccination, and
development of this practice to its present state in allopathic
practice of medicine, and how the phenomenon of
vaccinosis developed concurrently.
Vaccinosis; Symptoms and Recognition in
Clinical Practice
Objective: Early recognition of the chronic disease state of
vaccinosis, its treatment, and recognition of this condition
in our animal patients today. Many holistic veterinarians
feel vaccinosis accounts for a majority of the cases we see
in our practices today. We will discuss this controversial
subject, and present ideas on avoiding the creation of this
devastating syndrome.
become deficient in antioxidant mediators, such as
malonedialdehyde, glutathione, cysteine, ascorbic acid and
other antioxidant vitamins, which is associated with poor
clinical outcome. These effects also pertain to the lipid
oxidation and risk of rancidity in pet foods with their higher
fat and oil content.
Cellular Oxidative Stress & Chronic
Inflammatory Disease Results in Obesity,
Infections and Cancers, Part 2
Objective: Part 2 continues the mechanisms that underlie
cellular oxidative stress which leads to chronic inflammation
with a discussion of how this can lead to cancers. An
important aspect of this topic deals with prevention and the
early recognition of the cellular changes that lead to cancer.
Novel Biomarkers of Oxidative Stress for Veterinary
Medicine, Part 1 (W. Jean Dodds, DVM and Denis M.
Callewaert, PhD)
Objective: To discuss the various factors that predispose to
cellular oxidative stress, as revealed by measurements of
specific biomarkers of the body’s response to stress
Homeoprophylaxis: Using Homeopathic Medicines
as Preventives
Objective: After a brief review of the symptoms of
vaccinosis, we will focus on the holistic option of
homeoprophylaxis as an aid to prevention for the common
contagious diseases of dogs and cats. We will also discuss
the rabies vaccine issue, and how to integrate a sensible
approach into a holistic practice

Cellular Oxidative Stress & Chronic
Inflammatory Disease Results in Obesity,
Infections and Cancers, Part 1
Chronic cellular inflammation from the increased free
radical formation of oxidative stress leads to a wide variety
of diseases. Chronic inflammation occurs when the tissues
or organs receive inflammatory “mediator” messages that
cause them to react as though the “trigger” or pathogen
was still present. Rather than repairing themselves, these
cells remain in an ongoing state of inflammation that can
wax and wane for an entire lifetime. As a result, tissues

Ready to Rock and Write? Writing for Scientific
Journals Part 1 (Bernie Fischer & Shelley Epstein)
Objective: To understand the requirements for a paper
submitted for publication in a scientific journal, and to
understand the review, editing, and revision process.
The Journal of the American Holistic Veterinary Medical
Association (JAHVMA) is growing in content and interest,
and has seen a steep rise in the number of scientific
paper submissions. In this first hour, JAHVMA’s editor
along with a member of the editorial board will discuss
writing a scientific paper, with an emphasis on the
case report and case series. Understanding the target
audience of holistic veterinarians as well as academics
and conventional practitioners will serve as the basis for
the writing process. The unique nature of a paper that
combines the conventional perspective with that of the
particular CAVM modality while maintaining scientific
standards will be discussed. The five “Ds” of publication will
be covered: documentation, diagnosis, details, diligence,
and dedication. The editors will cover the importance of
integrity and professionalism.
Ready to Rock and Write? Writing for Scientific
Journals Part 2 (Bernie Fischer & Shelley Epstein)
Objective: To understand what is acceptable for publication
and what needs to be revised, and to assist the production
of participants’ case reports/case series.
Using selected examples from cases submitted to
JAHVMA as well as comparisons to selected examples
from respected conventional journals, JAHVMA’s editor
along with a member of the editorial board will illustrate
the proper way to compose a scientific paper. Common
problems will be discussed. Participants will be asked to
present their ideas for case reports/case series, and the
editors will assist in developing the outline for the paper.
Participants may also bring papers in progress for editorial
critique and comment.

Interactive Forum on Practice Styles and Options for
Holistic Veterinarians
Whether working as an associate, business partner, or
independent practitioner, holistic veterinarians have
created many unique styles of practice that differ from
the mainstream. Our membership is full of creative
individuals, many of whom have come up with creative
ways of earning their living, serving their patients and
enjoying a fulfilling lifestyle.
We will present on a variety of practice styles that AHVMA
members have developed, and host a panel discussion on
their experiences. We will also facilitate an open discussion
among attendees of their own experiences, tips and
suggestions on how they integrate alternative therapies
into their practice styles. Whether you have questions on
what to do next, or tips from what you have experienced in
your own career path, this forum will be enlightening and
inspiring for all.
Introduction to Chinese Veterinary Medicine
Chinese medicine was developed as a complete system of
medicine over the past 5000 years, or more. In Chinese
medicine, proper lifestyle emphasizing harmonization with
nature and its rhythms, and the use of specific exercise
techniques, nutrition, herbal medicines, and acupuncture
are all integral to maintaining health and addressing
disease. In this lecture we’ll touch briefly upon the history
of Chinese medicine, and discuss the major components of
this medical system. We’ll then review how Chinese herbal
medicine is used today to address the needs of the modern
veterinary patient. The objectives of this lecture are to
understand how Chinese medicine integrates lifestyle,
exercise, nutrition, herbal medicine, and acupuncture
to maintain health and treat disease, and to see how this
might be applied to the veterinary patient.

The Proactive Approach to Oral Health
Presenting new trends in periodontal therapy and disease
prevention, focusing on “host modulation”; i.e. improving
the body’s resilience to oral inflammation and therefore
to oral disease. This discussion will cover the role of diet/
nutrition and specific neutraceuticals which support better
health within the oral cavity as well as the whole body.
Dispelling the Myths of Veterinary Dentistry
This discussion will debunk common beliefs regarding
veterinary dentistry; including the effects of dry kibble diet
on oral health, anesthesia-free dentistry, the prevalence of
oral disease, etc.
Alternative Treatment Modalities which Compliment
Veterinary Dentistry Procedures and Support Oral Health
This discussion will include applications of various therapies
such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, homeopathy,
essential oil therapy, cold laser therapy and ozone therapy.
Learn how each of these modalities can be utilized to
support oral health, control pain and inflammation,
and optimize post-operative healing following dental
procedures.

Nutrigenomics –An Introduction
Objective: To understand the science of nutrigenomics
as the connection between food and genetic expression
so as to be able to apply this knowledge to designing
appropriate diets on an individual basis.
Most information regarding appropriate nutrition is based
on micronutrient analyses. The increase in processed
foods parallels the increase in disease rates associated with
chronic inflammation, such as heart disease and diabetes.
This lecture will present current food-related genetic
research as well as basic nutritional concepts about what
Fresh Food Case Reports
Three or four case reports will be presented, each with a
CWM and TCM diagnosis. Case discussions will include
treatment with fresh food, acupuncture, probiotics, and
herbal medications. These case reports will present the
challenges and pitfalls, and successes associated with
changing the diets of pet patients. An emphasis on the fact
that diet and life style changes are long term commitments.
Range Beef Herd Fertility & Health Management
This presentation is a case report of a Range Beef Herd
on the Northern Coast of California that spanned from
2000-2010. The presenting complaint was poor reproductive
performance with only 50% of the cows producing a calf in
the 2000 Fall calving season. An initial herd investigation
involved an inventory of the cow herd and collection of
production data. Also included was a meeting with principal
decision makers for the herd, and evaluation of the work
crew and handling facilities. The land, water, and feed
resources utilized by the herd, in addition to climate and
geographical location were also important factors and were
incorporated into the development of a management plan
for the herd. The goals of the management plan were to
improve the herd fertility and restore balance to the herd.
TCM philosophy, theories of cosmogony, and pattern
diagnosis are utilized to demonstrate the usefulness of TCM
philosophy and mythology in range animal management.
Predator-Prey Dynamics & Animal Agriculture
Animal agriculture is being dissected away from both
Conventional Western Medicine and Alternative
Medicine. Currently horses, dogs, cats, and some small
ruminant flocks or herds are considered companion pets.
Practitioners of TCVM, Homeopathy, and other alternative
medical disciplines are accustomed to addressing the
competing mythologies of alternative medicine and CWM
with companion pet clients every day as we present the
risks and benefits of CWM medical and surgery treatments
when compared to acupuncture, nutrition, herbs, and
homeopathic preparations. Each individual companion
pet is presented in an unbalanced state and the medical
practitioner works in their medical discipline to restore
balance to the pet and the animal owner is made happy.
Range animal production has several additional competing
mythologies to consider when attempting to restore
balance. These competing mythologies may include
economics, the science of genetics for range resource
utilization vs. genetics selected for marketability, and
include a discussion of how the characteristic symptoms
of the patient are a match for the selected medicine.
Conditions for homeopathic treatment that will be
presented include post-operative analgesia, wound healing,
infectious tracheobronchitis, hemorrhagic gastroenteritis,
cat bite abscesses, aural hematomas, corneal abrasions, and
traumatic injuries.

Performing a Proper Oral Exam
and Common Small Animal Oral Diseases
Following this lecture, attendees will understand the
importance and technique for a complete oral exam.
They will also gain insight into common oral diseases in
dogs and cats, their pathophysiology, and basic treatment
options. This lecture begins with a step by step guide to
performing a proper oral exam in the holistic/integrative
setting. We will also briefly discuss the anesthetized exam
for integrative practices. Following this we will discuss
the various common oral pathologies in the dog and
cat. Topics included: endodontic disease (fractured and
discolored teeth), caries, feline tooth resorption (TRs),
oral neoplasia, retained deciduous teeth, missing teeth and
oral signs of systemic disease.
Periodontal Disease and Whole Body Heath
Following this lecture, attendees will gain a greater
understanding regarding the pathophyiolgy of periodontal
disease as well as its negative effects on the entire body. This
will lead into a discussion on the importance of preventative
care. This presentation initiates with a discussion of the
current knowledge as to the cause of canine and feline
periodontal disease (hint, it’s not tartar). Following this we
will cover its progression and demonstrate the significant
local and regional complications associated with periodontal
disease. Finally, we will cover in detail the systemic
ramifications of untreated periodontal disease, as well as the
benefits of proper oral care on the whole body.
Proper Periodontal Therapy
Proper periodontal care is a multifaceted approach
combining plaque control, bone regeneration, and support

Biomechanics of the Thoracic Limb
This lecture will help the attendees grasp a better
understanding of the basic anatomy and biomechanics of
the equine thoracic limb. Several pathological conditions
will be discussed and described from the neuro-anatomical
point of view and how trained veterinarians can intervene
not only to maintain conditioning of the patient, but how to
avoid plausible decrease in performance. Attendees will be
able to integrate the information to better design treatment
protocols to improve not only the alpha-gamma gain
(different lecture) that helps protect the front limb, but also
to help clients with some simple therapeutic exercises to
improve conditioning.
Alpha and Gamma Gain: What Every Practitioner
Should Know and Understand About This “Sensitive”
Topic Part 1 & 2 (2hrs)
This two part lecture will organize the basic neuro-anatomy
of the spinal cord, peripheral nervous system and how it
affects and influences the dorsal and ventral horn regions
of the local spinal cord segment. Attendees will be able to
name and describe the local and segmental information
that can affect the performance or modulation of the
ventral horn cells. Through case presentations and
audience participation, the attendees will be able to better
assess and identify the patient that might have a functional
weakness as opposed to a pathological lesion. Attendees
will be provided with several simple integrative therapeutic
techniques that can be used safely and effectively to improve
or maintain the modulation of the VHC.
Motor Ballet: From Thought to Action – Part 1 & 2 (2hrs)
The first part of this lecture will be dedicated to help the
attendees recognize, describe and organize the systems
that are necessary to provide the patient with coordinated,
productive and flawless movement. A brief introduction
to the motor cortex, per-motor cortex, basal ganglia,
cerebellum and pattern generators are some of the topics
to be discussed. The second part of this lecture will be
dedicated to help the attendees integrate the information
and describe how Veterinary Spinal Manipulative Therapy
and Rehabilitation Therapy can be used to improve on
patient treatment outcome.

The Immune System and Cancer
Attendees will understand the interaction of the immune
system and cancer, and how to enhance the immune system
in its anti-cancer role. All parts of the immune system are
involved in the control and treatment of cancer. Without
a competent immune system, treatments for cancer can’t
work. Cancer has ways of hiding from the immune system,
and even co-opts macrophages into helping with metastases.
This lecture will discuss how to counteract these effects and
how to enhance the immune system’s anti-cancer effects.
Herbs for Cancer Treatment
Attendees will learn how understand how to judge herbal
research, and how to best use herbs in the treatment
of cancer. Many herbs and herbal formulas have been
proposed for the treatment of cancer. Claims have been
made for their efficacy, with and without the benefit of
research. This lecture will present research evidence for
effectiveness of herbs and herbal formulas, alone or in
combination, and how to choose the ones best suited for
various cancers in your patients.
Supplements for Cancer Treatment
With recent evidence showing that vitamin E and beta
carotene can decrease survival time in cancer patients, and
warnings that anti-oxidants can decrease effectiveness of
chemotherapy, it is time to examine their use more closely.
Other supplements have been shown by research to increase
survival time in patients. This lecture will show which to use,
when to use them, and why.

having these 5 functions for the body: Relax, Eat, Sleep,
Protect, Forget. The ECS has an affinity for the nervous
system and nourishes, protects and repairs nervous tissue, a
system that in the geriatric is on the decline.
Cannabis for Cancer?
What if cannabis cured cancer? Well from all indications,
reports from the field and research studies, it appears this
may be true. Research supporting this anti-neoplastic effect
and case reports from the field will be presented in this
fascinating class.

Adrenocortical Function and Deficiency:
Hypoadrenocorticism
The adrenal cortex is central to the body’s electrolyte
balance, to the animal’s ability to cope with life, stress
and disease, and to the pet’s balance of sex steroids in
the neutered animal. Deficiency in any of these hormone
pathways results in an unbalanced physiology that produces
a wide variety of signs. Important principles include
variabilities in the degree of deficiency or excess, the causes
and the changes over time within a patient, the effects and
interactions of other hormonal systems and organs, and the
uniqueness of every animal. Diagnosis can be challenging
but is essential. Excellent therapies are available but need to
be individualized for each patient.
Hypocortisolism: Diagnosis and Management of
Cortisol Insufficiency
Insufficient cortisol secretion by the adrenal cortex results
in a bewildering array of signs and a pet that is ‘ADR,’
‘Ain’t Doing Right.’ Dr. Stogdale discusses the challenges
of diagnosis and of owner understanding. The therapy is
straightforward depending upon owner comprehension,
patient individualization and response, and client
compliance: the usual challenges. Case examples are used to
illustrate the challenges and the outcomes.
thinking approach that lends fresh perspective to the
timing-of-spaying debate.
The Aging-Cancer Connection: Implications for
Cancer Prevention
The aging-cancer intersection is surprisingly underexplored
territory – few aging researchers know much about cancer,
few cancer researchers know much about aging. This lecture
will explore the relationship between: aging and the risk for
cancer development; aging and the clinical aggressiveness
of resultant cancers. Moreover, the observation that the
oldest-old are resistant to cancer – a paradox shared by both
dogs and humans – creates a unique opportunity to better
understand the factors that favor cancer resistance. This
lecture will emphasize how realizing progress in the agingcancer intersection will be a key to developing smarter
strategies for achieving cancer risk reduction.
Celebrating Your Unfinishedness: A Perspective on
Personal Performance and the Aims of Education
Creative excellence in discovery, education, and
communication demands stamina and openmindedness.
Stamina requires renewal, yet few opportunities for selfrenewal are built into most workplaces. And as experts,
our openmindedness is often stifled by our own sense of
finishedness. This lecture will lay out a strategy for sustained
renewal and creative excellence: Each person assembling a
gallery of hand-picked intellectual heroes to serve as their
life-long teachers. It will argue that tethering oneself to
intellectual heroes does not limit one’s creative potential
but instead achieves exactly the opposite effect – enabling
one to see and reach their own greatest potential. By
strengthening the habit of strategic tethering, we situate
an active, partially guided search for self-renewal and a
heightened receptivity to new ideas at the very core of
achieving excellence in the research-education space. The
lecture will provide fresh insights into the skills and attitudes
of peak performance that can make us better educators –
educating our clients, our colleagues, ourselves.

TCVM for the Treatment of Cancers
Clinical evidence indicated that Traditional Chinese
Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) including acupuncture and
herbal medicine can be beneficial in the treatment of cancers
in people and animals. Acupuncture and/or Chinese herbals
reduced pain or discomfort, promoted the quality of life,
or reduced drug-associated side-effects in cancer patients.
Acupuncture also promoted the activities of humoral and
cellular immunity as well as NK cell activity. Some herbs
together with conventional protocols (chemotherapy or
surgery) demonstrated a promising outcome in lymphoma
and breast cancer in both humans and dogs. The possible
mechanisms of herbal anti-cancer effects include inhibition
of the metabolism of tumor cells, alteration of tumor cell
membranes and information conduction, inhibition of tumor
cell proliferation and reduction of tumor cell differentiation,
induction of tumor cell apoptosis, enhancement of
immune function and anticancer capabilities, inhibition
of neovascularization to prevent tumor growth and
metastasis, prevention of metastasis through improvement
of the physical and chemical properties of blood cells,
and reversal of drug resistance and enhancement of the
effectiveness of chemotherapy. This lecture will discuss
the most recent research on acupuncture and herbal
medicine for the treatment of cancers, and how to apply the
TCVM for the treatment of lymphoma, osteosarcoma and
hemangiosarcoma in dogs.
TCVM for IVDD and Degenerative Myelopathy
The recent clinical studies indicated that Traditional
Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) including
acupuncture and herbal medicine, can be the effective
sole therapy, or part of integrated therapy with Western
medicine and surgery to treat intervertebral disc disease
(IVDD), and can help slow down the pathological
processing of degenerative myelopathy (DM). In the TCVM
perspective, IVDD is often considered as a Bi syndrome
but can be accompanied by a Wei (weakness) syndrome.
DM is often considered with Wei Syndrome. Both IVDD
and DM are related to the Kidney (bones and spinal cord),
the Liver (joints and smooth flow of Qi and blood), and
the Spleen (muscle strength). There are 2 Excess Patterns
and 3 Deficiency Patterns that are associated with various
forms of IVDD. The Excess conditions are invasion of
Wind-Cold-Damp and Qi-Blood stagnation, which are often
associated with acute trauma in chondrodystrophic dogs
(Type I). The Deficiency Patterns, often associated with
chronic, Type II IVDD in non-chondrodystrophic breeds,
include Qi/Yang Deficiency, Yin Deficiency and combined
Yin-Qi/Yang Deficiency. DM is primarily divided into 4
Patterns including Spleen Qi Deficiency, Kidney/Liver Yin
Deficiency, Kidney Yang and Spleen Qi Deficiency, and
Kidney Qi/Yin Deficiency. This lecture also explains how
to use acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine for the
treatment of each Pattern of IVDD and DM in dogs and cats.
TCVM for Seizure
In the Chinese language seizures are called “Chou Feng” or
“strong wind”. A wind trapped within the body will cause
trembling, twitching, shaking of the limbs, contortion of the
body – much like the leaves and branches of a tree in a heavy
storm. Seizures are mostly a reflection of disharmony in the
