Michael A. Singer “Comparative Physiology,
Natural Animal Models and Clinical Medicine: Insights into Clinical
Medicine from Animal Adaptations"

This book describes a novel and unique approach to the treatment of
human diseases based on the study of natural animal models. A natural
animal model is defined as an animal group or species that possesses a
set of biochemical/physiological characteristics which are natural and
adaptive for that animal, but are quite abnormal for humans. For
example, how is it that birds can tolerate blood glucose concentrations
which in humans are associated with diabetes. The natural animal model
is living proof that a biological answer to this question is available.
By studying natural animal models, we can gain valuable insights into
the treatment of various human clinical disorders. Covering a wide
range of disorders, this book describes in detail how medical
scientists can take advantage of all the "research" that nature has
already performed over billions of years in biological problem solving
through extensive animal design testing and selection.
