The Efficacy of Velvet Antler in Veterinary Practice

by PJ Broadfoot, Nina Anderson

Overview

The history of antler as a medicinal substance stretches back thousands of years. New research suggests that therapies based on New Zealand velvet antler can provide a natural, holistic treatment for acute and chronic inflammations including joints, skin, and other body tissues by modulating and balancing the immune system, and it can provide some normalization of the endocrine system. Consider the regenerative potential of deer antler. This book summarizes some of the clinical evidence and benefits to small animals, and can provide a valuable resource to veterinary practitioners.

Introduction
My commitment to the value of holistic veterinary care for over thirty years, has led me to research the benefit of natural therapies as a beneficial alternative to drug therapy for many clinical conditions that I see in everyday practice. In the past few years, I have discovered that deer velvet is valuable for treating a myriad of illnesses. This remarkable product, particularly when combined with apparent synergists, such as green lipped mussel, thymus, colostrum and others, has helped animals to balance their immune system, recover from joint problems, restore normal skin function, enhance red blood cell production, and improve reproductive activity. Research suggests that it can also benefit those suffering from cardiovascular disease and those recuperating from surgery. We are in serious consideration of how we can incorporate these therapies into a wellness protocol. Think of what we could do, if we improved regenerative capacity and decreased inflammatory conditions in our patients, while they were young! I hope this book can help you understand how important velvet antler can be to the health of your patients and that you will incorporate it as part of your holistic modalities. --PJ Broadfoot DVM
