This is STELLA, a true warrior. Her story is almost unbelievable.
Integrative Medicine helped us care for Stella, who was suffering from severe epilepsy. She used to have violent cluster seizures every 10–15 days. With a customized treatment plan, we were able to quickly increase the time between seizures and reduce their intensity. Over time, we gradually reduced her medications, eventually cutting them in half, thanks to improved intestinal absorption.
As a result, the side effects of the drugs, which had become unbearable, eased and almost disappeared. Before starting integrative medicine, Stella spent most of her days sleeping, barely able to get up, and only dragging herself outside to relieve herself.
With this new approach, Stella woke up from that fog. Following an experimental scientific protocol, she went an incredible 250 days without a single seizure.

The INTEGRA Method was born from the successes achieved with integrative medicine applied to the most severe cases.
With INTEGRA, you immediately experience significant improvements:
Reduced frequency and intensity of seizures
Rapid recovery after seizures
Increased energy and vitality
Newfound joy in connecting and spending time with their beloved owner
Reduced use of medications and their side effects.
If you’ve lived with a dog who suffers from persistent or severe seizures, especially when they don’t respond well to medication, you know how heartbreaking it can be to see them:
• restless yet exhausted
• struggling to move their legs
• with a dull, tired expression
• overweight and unsteady
• confused, sometimes barely recognizing their family, and even becoming irritable when touched.
Many families of epileptic dogs come to me feeling helpless, worn out, and deprived of rest for far too long. More than once, I’ve heard owners admit that they’ve wondered whether euthanasia might be the only way to end their beloved companion’s suffering.
The results we achieve with integrative medicine are my greatest professional joy. Watching dogs and cats leave behind pain and suffering and begin a new chapter in their lives is incredibly rewarding. And the heartfelt emotions and kind words of their owners, as together we witness both small and big ‘miracles,’ make this work even more meaningful.
Since 2002, I have been caring for dogs with neurological and joint problems, some of them very complex.
While epilepsy can affect all breeds, even mixed breeds, the majority of cases I’ve treated involve those more predisposed, such as Golden Retrievers, Labradors, Australian Shepherds, and Belgian Shepherds. I’ve also worked with many Saint Bernards, Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs, and Salukis.
Most of their owners had already tried everything, specialists, different therapies, countless supplements. They spent sleepless nights searching the internet for answers and traveled miles without worrying about the cost. After all, we’d do anything to help our beloved dogs feel better, because today they are truly part of the family. Sadly, despite all those efforts, the results were often disappointing.
Then came INTEGRATTIVE MEDICINE.
After many years of research, study, and hands-on practice, I realized I needed to develop a method that combined everything I had learned from both animal and human medicine. That’s how INTEGRA was born, an approach that brings together standard therapies, Chinese Medicine, and other natural, complementary treatments. The results have been truly remarkable.
About 70% of epileptic dogs respond well to traditional drug therapies, which is fortunate. But sadly, the other 30% live with refractory forms that respond poorly, or not at all, to medications. These patients are often overloaded with drugs and suffer from all the side effects that come with them.
It is for these dogs that I dedicate my studies and treatments.
With integrative therapy, I can now offer more than 90% of them a renewed, good quality of life.
After treating hundreds of cases, I created the "INTEGRA Method", which I continue to refine every day to strengthen the combined benefits of:
WESTERN MEDICINE
CHINESE MEDICINE
THERAPEUTIC NUTRITION
NEURAL THERAPY
If you are a fellow veterinarian and your patients include refractory epileptics or complex cases, such as:
• severely debilitated elderly dogs and cats
• patients with chronic conditions
• patients with challenging oncological problems
we can work together to complement and support ongoing therapies with integrative and complementary treatments, often achieving remarkable results
