    I don’t think I’m hardcore anything. I select natural holistic approach wherever it is feasible and makes sense. I do use best food I can afford and and I use supplements.

    One note, I don’t believe that garbage is a good way to dispose of unused drugs. I discuss what medications I’m willing or not willing to use on my dog before I get them. Drugs in garbage are a bad thing holistically – globally.
