Don't you think the pet owners would cotton on if it is hokum?
https://www.theguardian.com/science...r-a-ban-on-vets-offering-homeopathic-remediesAs a vet, there are few things more heartbreaking than having to pick up the pieces after an animal has received inadequate care. Unfortunately, too many times in my career I’ve been presented with an animal whose perfectly treatable condition has been left to deteriorate, because their owners and vets were convinced that homeopathic remedies would do the trick. At best, it leads to unnecessary suffering and a reduced likelihood of a full recovery. At worst, as with the case of a horse I treated for severe laminitis, there is no option left but euthanasia.
Yes, especially those with more money than sense.Don't you think the pet owners would cotton on if it is hokum?
Woohoo, we've hit the Big Pharma jackpot guys! As a shill for them I'm just lounging at home, raking in the money...Proponents and aides for the pharmaceutical companies hate homeopathy more than anything. Because it works. For a few unfortunate animals that could not be helped, how many humans are injured and killed by big pharmas poisons?
Always knew there was something fishy going on here.
This seems to be a variation of the appeal to authority logical fallacy: if a bad person dislikes something, it must be good.Proponents and aides for the pharmaceutical companies hate homeopathy more than anything.
There is still no evidence of this claim, and a great deal of evidence that it isn't true. Repeating something doesn't make it any truer.Because it works.

Only it isn't giving anyone a very small dose @PinkPanda it is giving them water. The only thing a little bit of water is going to cure people of is being a little bit thirsty.
So this nonsense doesn't even come in liquid form? Wow. So how much active ingredient is in these pills?Hum, there's no more water in homeopathic pills. They are completely dehydrated, don't know how water memory could work with no water at all...

Your question being how can vets, Germans and the royal family all be wrong? I'm still thinking about it. It's a tricky one, I'll grant you that.No answer to my question yet - I wonder why lol.

So the body has mechanisms in place to counteract/react to too high or low levels of certain substances. I could imagine homeopathy tries to use this effect by giving in a very small dose of (example) calcium, which hopefully doesn't raise the calcium further, but stimulates the body's reaction system.
