To Whom It May Concern:
I have been in small animal Veterinary practice for twenty years. Medicine has changed dramatically in that time frame. Coming from a strict Western medicine, left-brain world, one of my more difficult struggles has been with the field of nutraceuticals and supplements.
About twelve years ago I was introduced to joint supplements and began the slow process of trial and error. My veterinary partner at the time was quickly jumping in with both feet and I watched with a skeptic's eye. It was soon clear to me that there was going to be some benefit to these types of products and there was certainly an interest and curiosity among our clients. It also became painfully clear that there was a vast ocean of products and claims with very little science or track record to back these claims.
My focus in veterinary practice is primarily surgery and management. I knew that there was no way I would have the time to carefully research each product and learn the ropes of this new field. I needed to find someone in the field whom I could trust and rely on to show me the basics and direct me to safe and effective products that I could, in good faith, offer to our clients.
Enter Dr. Hank Liers. My veterinary partner Dr. Randy Aronson had met Dr. Liers at a local seminar and they started the ball rolling. It was quickly obvious that Dr. Liers knew the science and had the passion and the connections to bring it all together. Initially with the human products and now with the 2DOCS line we have a group of viable products to offer our clients in order to help in the treatment and control of many disease processes, as well as promoting general health and wellness.
I have personally taken Hank’s core vitamins and supplements, including joint health formulas, for over eight years. In that period, I have enjoyed a steady improvement in my overall health and mobility, and have not had a single visit to the M.D. for anything other than insurance checkups.
There are many stories of benefit and success that I could relay to you but our time is limited. I think that if you are reading this prose then probably you are already convinced that there is merit in these types of products. Over the past eight years I have watched and listened as Dr. Liers has delved into the world of supplements. I have read his papers and attended many seminars on each of the individual products. In every case, he is careful to point to the reasons for a specific type of vitamin, a particular type of quercetin, and a specific form of grape seed extract. He describes the benefits of sardine oils instead of flax oils or salmon oils. Researching and developing supplements has been Hank’s passion for thirty years, and his knowledge and grasp of the field is unparalleled.
My own background in biochemistry has allowed confirmation and a small level of understanding of the foundation for what Hank has developed. We have dealt with many different supplement companies with shiny brochures and big advertising budgets, but none that compare in overall quality and thought to what the 2DOCS line can offer.
In the end, I am still primarily a traditional veterinary practitioner. What has changed is that now I can offer core nutritional supplements, allergy support, diabetic support, and joint support for pet owners who are patient and interested in quality nutritional supplements. Take the time to investigate the 2DOCS line of products. Hopefully, my story will help you do that with a less skeptical eye.
