Dr. Marty Goldstein writes about Dr. Deva Khalsa and her book Dr. Khalsa’s Natural Dog

      Deva Khalsa and I were founding doctoral spirits as the movement of holistic veterinary medicine was being born in the United States back in the 1970’s.  We are now referred to as “the Elders”- a term of which I am still proud.

      To me, Deva was not just “one of us” but someone I respected, consulted with, learned from and truly admired she was one of the few even back then who “got it”. There are two types of medical training: that in which medicine is learned and spit back in rote when treating a patient, or that in which medicine is learned, understood, incorporated within oneself, and ultimately applied within that same context for the betterment of the patient. Deva is the embodiment of the latter. She knows, feels, and practices healing, patient by patient.

       Importantly, she has always been one of her own patients. You’ve heard it countless times: “practice what you preach” or “if you want to talk the talk, you better know how to walk the walk”.  Well, she damn well did, and she still does. In the decades I’ve known Deva, she has barely aged. She beams. That’s called health. And when you have it, you don’t have to heal – but you sure can when needed for others.

      This book she has written is nothing more than a mirror of the incredible spiritual energy of a true healer. If you want to call it holistic, then use the term to its fullest capacity- not just the whole patient but the entire picture- mind, body, spirit, environment, human/animal bond, and most of all, good old common sense. Learn from this book not to simply practice its methods but to really understand its contents, make them your own, and apply them.  It’s not that much more complicated. It is pure and simple.

     Well done, Deva, and you’ll always have my love and admiration.

“It has been my pleasure knowing you. Your knowledge, compassion, commitment and on-going concern for your patients is incomparable, as is your reputation as one of the top physicians in this country in your field of veterinary medicine.

“There is no doubt in my mind, you are an extraordinary practitioner and person- always pushing the envelope in an attempt to ease the pain for others and expand upon ideas and concepts with your focus on progress.

“It delights me that you continue to educate yourself and challenge your mind, ever evolving with integrity, intelligence and interest. It is no wonder that so many lives have been saved and changed. Thank you for your continued dedication” — Dr. Carolyn Jaffee, O.M.O., A.P., PhD
