Homeopathy

[mitto]

Hi everyone,

I know this subject can be controversial but am I the only one disturbed to read this http://www.horseandhound.co.uk/horse-care-index/1370/39896.html on H&H? Why is this being promoted here?

I know of 3 horse vets with very good reputations now using homopathy alongside their ususal lotions and potions

Dont think its the big taboo it used to be?

have a look at what the sceptics movement has to say about homeopathy before you part with any money - i was part of the national homeopathy overdose & took 1,000 times the suggested doseage on a treatment - still alive
google sceptics & see what you think

Old article by date. What exactly is so shocking?

There is no convincing evidence for homeopathy - a placebo treatment at best. That article reads as if homeopathy is proven and has a valid place in animal treatment: "Homeopathy is effective in treating a wide variety of problems from skin conditions to injuries"

LOL, quite a lot of lactose then?

That the article hasn't been retracted or corrected. It's very one sided and reads like an advert for quackery.
Yes, it's an old article, but, from the horse care section http://www.horseandhound.co.uk/horsecare/ , it's one of the first links so still promoted quite prominently. It horrifies me to think that someone might read that and think it's a good idea to treat their horse in this way, thus denying the horse the care it actually needs.
