What our
clients and patients are saying...

I don't actually know how my dog,
VP, managed to hurt her back and neck. I think it was a fall she took
weeks before. It wasn't even a slow degradation of health. Overnight, she
became an invalid. She couldn't eat, drink, or walk by herself. Her jaw
seemed dislocated and her tongue deviated visibly to the left of her
mouth. Every time she tried to chew food, she would choke. Every time we
moved her, she cried. She couldn't even bark without noticeable pain. She
had been on steroids and pain killers for weeks, with little to no
improvement, and then I was told that an MRI might give the docs some
answers...for $1900. When I first came to see Dr. Addleman, VP had an
actual date to get put to sleep at the vet's office. I came on
recommendations from an energy healer/yoga teacher/anatomy queen from L.A.
Within hours of VP's first treatment, I saw dramatic improvement. Her
gait became much less impaired, her tongue started to return to normal,
and she began to eat and drink by herself. After three treatments with Dr.
Addleman, VP is back to her old mischief -- stockpiling all the dog toys
in her own crate, barking viciously at the mailman, and bounding up and
down with excitement every time someone approaches her. She got a new
lease on life with alternative therapy and our whole family owes you
endless thanks! ~ Jennifer

As I watch
Annie wake up with us each day, not sleeping all day due to pain/lack
of energy, running around the Christmas tree - because now she CAN,
and watching her JUMP and HOP after a romp outdoors, I know this is
due to your work with her. I know, without question, that you have
given me more time with her than would have been otherwise possible.
This is the most beautiful gift I ever been given, and I will never be
able to thank you adequately. I now have one more Christmas with my
baby, and we are making the absolute most of it!!
Maxx is
well - VERY well. Again, due to your selfless efforts on his behalf,
he is enjoying a greater quality of life - and now PLAYS again! It is
true joy in action. Your work, especially with Cushings, is much
needed. ~ Sheryl Farnsworth, President and Founder

Sweeney would like Dr. Addleman to know she is all
but feeling like a brand new dog! She gets me out walking twice every
day now and trots along with ears bouncing. She loves-loves the new
food regimen........ and has taken very well to the herbs. So far, and
almost from the time we left your office, she has had all 4s firmly
planted on the ground with full steam ahead! She admits she is not
feeling as tired either. Remember when that guy bought out the
huge billboard on 59 to advertise seeking a wife. Well if not for him
outbidding me this morning, that billboard would read "Dr. Addleman is
a genius!" In like super bold size 7000 font. Sweeney slept
through the night until 5 am and when she woke up, she stood right up
on all 4s and walked out to potty and back in. Same thing through the
morning. ~ Davina

Lance was so much
better at this show. No hissing at the cats in the judging ring or on the
way to the ring. He is still a little tense, but much much better than
before. ~ Becky

Vladimir is doing great! I'm so glad
he's better and we've found such a great Dr. for Vladimir. ~

We all think Sam is
doing better. The soft food already has made a huge difference for his
skin condition..... We also noticed less eye gunk and not as much
snoring when he sleeps. It's all been good. Thanks for your help. ~

With the weight loss Tabitha has become so much
more active. She and Kylie are playing all the time. We took
Zoe, Tabby and Kylie to the dog park on Saturday -- they all three had
so much fun playing and romping. Thanks as always. ~ Donna & Gerry |

Breeze is running sooooo much better
since her first treatment – it’s amazing. She is running like
she did about 2-3 years ago. She’s back to being her same spunky
little self and it’s great to see. I just can’t thank Dr.
Addleman enough. Thank you very much the wonderful treatment that
Breeze received last week. I really, truly think it [acupuncture]
helped her tremendously.

I’m excited about Lulu's new herbs and she’s
already better just from her treatment yesterday!
I can’t say enough about the care we have received from Dr. Addleman.
I don’t believe Lulu would ever be able to become the healthy girl she
was meant to be without her.
Thanks so much.

Meaux's
a very happy kid
Meaux has been a very happy kid for the last 3-4
days - he is showing me the puppy in him still, at times, but staying
out of the heat a lot. I know Meaux is feeling better because we have
walked a little bit in the evenings on the bayou this past week -
hadn't done that in ages. We even had a young couple stop and ask
about him and couldn't believe he was 14. They said "he's
adorable!". I can't tell you how comforting it is that you come to
the house to care of Meaux. At his age, his size, and his physical
condition, it would be almost impossible for me to get him to a clinic
to be cared for without an incredible amount of stress and possibly
much physical discomfort on Meaux's part. That he is now cared for in
the comfort of his own home is worth everything to me. So thank you,
thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. ~ Judy, Meaux and
Cisco

Gillie seems to be doing a bit
better. I think that he is having fewer nightmares (although the
amount of naps has not changed.) Is Gilligan's favorite doctor
available...Monday? ~ Patty

Thank you for seeing Lizzy this morning. We look forward to making
changes, so Lizzy can be a Healthy and Happy dog.

We are thrilled we found you to
care for Hallee. She has definitely improved, chewed a bone
for the first time today and played with Brinklee. Thank you
so much for your help and compassion.

Doing Great
My husband is
skeptical, but can't deny the results we have seen so far in Austin. I
can't remember the last time he bounced up the stairs instead of lolly
gagging. He is doing great and we can already tell tremendous results. ~

Shiloh has been doing amazingly well since
the treatment, dramatic improvement in several areas but most significantly,
my social butterfly is back! ~ Stacey |

Our dog, Chaya, was diagnosed with a degenerative
neurological disorder. She has been examined by boarded
veterinary specialists in the field
of internal medicine and surgery. All concur, her disease is
progressive and not operable. Religiously, we followed expert advice
on how to make her more comfortable and happy. Nothing seemed to work.
As she became more disabled and unable to walk without the help of a sling,
so too did her spirit diminish. Taking the advice of our
veterinarian, we sought out Dr. Addleman. After the first treatment,
we noticed that Chaya's energy seemed improved. And today, with only
three treatments, Chaya's spirits and energy have been revived. She has
maintained her energy and high spirits despite dragging herself to get
around. We feel so fortunate to have found Dr. Addleman. While Chaya's
future is certain, total paralysis, she delights in being a participating
member of our family. We can't thank Dr. Addleman for giving us back
our Chaya. ~ Linda from Houston |

I can’t tell you how
thankful we are for Dr. Rachel. ..... Marli was able to do some actual
walking on Wednesday and we think she will continue to improve with the
acupuncture and therapy. I know Marli is just so much better because she is
now also wagging her tail like she used to do before her problem (injury)
began. I can’t wait to send the pictures on to our daughters. I know they
will get a kick out of seeing Marli with all the wires, but I also know they
are very concerned for her recovery and are thankful we had this choice in
her care. I don’t think I can say enough about how pleased we are
concerning Dr. Rachel’s treatment and the progress Marli continues to make.
We are so grateful Dr. Rachel chose the Houston area to practice her
veterinarian acupuncture care and skills.
Update: We
are actually having to hold Marli back somewhat. She was trying to do a
little running over the weekend and is now wanting to jump down from our
couch while we’re watching TV. It’s great she’s improving so much, but we
are trying to keep her from getting too overzealous just to make sure she
doesn’t reinjure herself. ~ Jana & Don from Lake

More good news: BG is 94 today. No excessive
water
consumption and he's still chowing down on 2 1/2 to 3 cans of turkey &
giblets daily! He is getting rowdier by the day. He obviously feels a
lot better since coming to see you!!! ~ Karla from Houston |

as well. ~ Laura from Houston |

A Wonderful Vet
Dr. Addleman was a wonderful vet to me and I was
heartbroken when she moved out of Los Angeles. She's compassionate and
really listened to me when I brought my dog in to see her on numerous
occasions throughout her life. She very clearly explained each issue and
patiently went through all the options available to me for the various
issues that came up with Kasha over her lifetime--options that included
traditional medical treatments as well as alternative treatments such as
acupuncture and herbs. And finally, because she is such an animal lover
herself, I knew she was always able to put herself in my shoes and her
empathetic approach to treating my dog was something you don't see in a lot
of doctors (human or animal). ~ Erica from Los Angeles, California

I can't thank you enough for giving Isaac back his energy! And
appetite! He's once again stalking lizards from the safety
of his kitchen window and playing with Hershel and Amos.
His kidney failure and thyroid surgery have been hard on him.
There was nothing left in western medicine to do for 'the light of my
life' when thankfully I found you! Acupuncture and herbals have
made a huge difference. Thank you for everything you do
for my Isaac. ~ L |

Very Compassionate Vet
We came to Dr. Addleman with our aging animal, and she
was able to really relate to our needs for our "child". She understood that
he is a member of our family, and treated him that way. He was very calm
with her, and she made us feel right at ease too. She is extremely
professional and explains everything so well. She knew that we didn't want
to use a lot of medications, and the herbs she suggested worked great. She
even took the time to help his hips with acupuncture, even though he was not
the most cooperative! I would highly recommend Dr. Addleman to anyone! ~

We
are fortunate our veterinarian referred us to Dr. Addleman. As a
board certified feline specialist, a recognized expert in her field,
Dr. Addleman diagnosed our cat, Snoop, a 16 years old orange tabby,
with multiple ailments including lymphoma, hypothyroid, high blood
pressure, arthritis, and irritable bowel syndrome ~ all of which are
being treated successfully with medication. Two concerns for us,
was the irritable bowel syndrome, although treated with prednisone, he
continued to throw up several times weekly and painful arthritis
treated with adequin injections weekly. We were, at first,
skeptical giving him acupuncture. Never in our wildest dreams
did we think he'd stand still, after all, he's a cat! Boy
were we surprised. Not only did he enjoy his 20 minute
treatment, laying comfortably and purring throughout it, he wasn't
anxious for it to come to an end. To our amazement, his vomiting
has been greatly curtailed and the arthritic pain appears much less as
his limping has disappeared! ~ Nat from Houston |

Chloe's acupuncture session has helped her
tremendously...she is feeling so much better. Her appetite is improving and
she sleeps very well. We divide the Hill's can into fourths and feed her 4
times a day to complete the can. She even has been eating ocean whitefish
and tuna from Sargent's and Sunny's bowls when they eat.
...Dr. "A" had helped Chloe so very much through
her illness. The acupuncture & herbs helped her to be able to eat and
walk...to be her self again. There are not enough "Thank you's" in the world
to tell you how much we appreciate Dr. "A". She is the best and is a
wonderful and compassionate person. We are very glad that we found her.
