They are UGO, ALDO, and VIOLA. Ugo, 13, didn't play with his siblings and often whined due to multiple cervical hernias, which continued to cause him pain despite treatment. Recently, he had become isolated and growled when approached by other dogs.
UGO, thanks to the INTEGRA Method, is back to playing with his friends!
This is EDOARDO, a beautiful 9-year-old German Shepherd from Isola dei Baroni. He suffered a spinal infarction at the age of 6. Although he recovered from the resulting hemiparesis, his right side remained weak. He struggled to walk properly and could no longer jump into the car on his own. At 40 kg, it became increasingly difficultâfor him and for his family.
None of the usual therapies or treatments seemed to help anymore.
In less than a month, Edoardo went from struggling to walk to jumping into the car on his own again. His veterinarian could hardly believe his transformation.
She was amazed by the progress Edoardo had made in less than a month.
WHEN TRADITIONAL THERAPIES FALL SHORT
Despite my training and experience in Western veterinary medicine, facing difficultâand sometimes seemingly hopelessâcases that didnât respond to standard treatments pushed me to rethink everything and search for new solutions.
Caring for patients with fragile healthârefractory epileptics or animals with complex, chronic, or oncological conditionsâmade me wonder if there were more effective approaches than traditional treatments. This curiosity led me to study Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture, therapeutic nutrition, kinesiology, and other complementary therapies.
BENEFITS OF INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE
I turned to integrative medicine to find better solutions for the most challenging cases. Inspired by the WHOâs recognition of integrative approaches in human medicine, I began applying the same principles to our beloved pets. By addressing multiple organs and systems at once, this approach helps uncover the root causes of illness and restore our dogsâ and catsâ dormant energy, supporting fragile health balances on several levels.
By combining multiple approachesâWestern medicine, Eastern medicine (including Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture), therapeutic nutrition, kinesiology, neural therapy, and micro-immunotherapyâwe can achieve excellent results even in the most challenging cases, where single approaches have only been partially effective.
This integrated method often leads to rapid and remarkable improvements:
Reduced impact of the disease
Faster recovery and better overall health
Enhanced effectiveness of medications, often allowing dose reduction
Improved quality of life and general well-being
Greater peace of mind for both pets and their owners
THE ORIGINS OF THE INTEGRA METHOD
Over the years, Iâve worked with top veterinary specialists, participated in innovative research, and continued my studies in complementary therapies. Integrating these approaches felt natural as the results with patients were often far better than traditional or single-method treatments.
I learned that the real challenge isnât finding a single âsolution,â but knowing which therapyâor combinationâbest fits each patient at the right time.
THE SEARCH FOR A SIMPLE SOLUTION
At first, I was looking for that one drug, technique, or expert who could fix everything.Â
I thought I was missing something. But the more I learned, the more I realized that the goal wasnât to find a single âsolution.â The real challenge was knowing which therapyâor combinationâwas best for each patient at that specific moment.
This ongoing process is a continuous spiral: complex cases, study and research, collaboration with colleagues, integration into treatment plans, excellent resultsâand then starting again with new challenges
This is why, even today, I am motivated every day to refine and develop what has become my working approach: the INTEGRA METHOD. For over 10 years, I have listened, observed, and cared for our four-legged friends with love and dedication, combining Western scientific methods with Chinese medicine and complementary approaches that I continue to expand.
TRUST MEâIT WILL AMAZE YOU
The results my patients achieve often surprise not only their owners but also the treating veterinarians. I receive many heartfelt testimonials and letters that deeply move me because I understand exactly what you feel. I wish I had the time to share them all.
INTEGRA was born from the ongoing study and search for new, more effective approaches to prevent, treat, and support the health and well-being of our four-legged friendsâespecially when they are most fragile, most in need of us, and when minimizing the side effects of standard medications is essential.
INTEGRA HOLISTIC APPROACH
INTEGRAâs holistic approach is particularly effective for elderly patients, those with chronic conditions, and the most complex and critical cases. Over the years, I have developed specific protocols for patients with challenging conditions, refractory epilepsy, oncological cases, etc. These are patients for whom Western medicine alone no longer achieves sufficient improvement, and where medication side effects have taken a toll.
INTEGRA combines therapies to strengthen each other, enhancing treatment effectivenessâfor prevention, care, and long-term support
For this reason, the INTEGRA Method is especially effective for both prevention and support, as well as treatment and long-term care
