Inspiring stories of dogs who do good. Anyone who has ever had a relationship with a dog will tell you: They want nothing more than to give love and be loved in return. In Every Dog Has a Gift, Rachel McPherson draws on her experience as the founder and executive director of The Good Dog Foundation, the largest animal-assisted therapy organization on the East Coast, to share the amazing stories of dogs that bring hope and healing into our lives. Much has been said about the heroic roles dogs played following September 11th and Hurricane Katrina in providing support and comfort for the families and victims of these terrible tragedies, but the truth is that millions of dogs around the world are heroes every day. These therapy and service dogs (and often quite ordinary, "uncertified" dogs just like your own!) can: *serve as the perfect audience for kids who need help with practicing and improving their reading skills; *hold troubled families together; *provide a calm and centering presence for autistic children, and *help individuals who have lost the ability to walk to more easily navigate the world.Every Dog Has a Gift is a celebration of the gift that each and every dog possesses: the ability to bring the healing power of unconditional love into our lives.

This book is the first of its kind in that it unifies the philosophy of what is loosely called anti-aging medicine, alternative medicine, holistic medicine and bio-identical hormone medicine under one principle. This principle states that many diseases are merely different manifestations of imbalances within blood and body chemistry. This book is not anti-drug per se, but it does strongly argue that the first step in achieving true health is the optimization of body chemistry through bio-identical hormones, vitamins, and other nutritional and natural supplements. When that optimization is achieved, the list of symptoms that improve is staggering. This paradigm has allowed Dzugan Method physicians to effectively treat such wide-ranging conditions as high cholesterol/heart disease, menopause, ED, depression, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, migraine headaches, mental decline and macular degeneration.
