"Although much maligned at the time
Macrobiotics seemed to me to complement my scientific training
although in some respects it presented an opposing view. In
particular Macrobiotics, like many other branches of complementary
medicine taught that most illnesses originate in the main
from improper lifestyle especially the daily diet.
By extension it follows from this that correct
diet can be used to treat many illnesses or, more accurately,
correct diet can allow the body to make the necessary adjustments
in order to heal itself
By experimenting on my own diet I was able
to verify the principle that physical health and mental well-being
can be changed by diet. I decided to adapt and apply similar
principles to the understanding and practice of Veterinary
Medicine.
I advised my clients to avoid all commercial
pet foods and to feed only home prepared diets based on brown
rice, good quality meat (chicken, fish or lamb) and vegetables.
The results were remarkable in that many chronic health problems
could be managed by a simple diet. But most pet owners found
the task of food preparation too impractical and could not
keep it up long-term..............
"
I eventually came to realise that for the majority of pets,
a Holistic diet can only be possible if a suitable prepared
food is commercially available. That is why I came to develop
my own complete foods for dogs and cats
This Guide
to Natural Health Care is based on Holistic Principles
together with many years practical experience in the management
of disease in pets.
Burns Real Food is the Holistic Approach
to good health because it allows all of the body's natural
healing powers to work in harmony. Burns does not seek to
modify separate organ systems in isolation [to the possible
neglect of others].
