Default Vets protest over homeopathy plan

Vets protest over homeopathy plan

A group of vets has said they are concerned by European Commission
proposals to legitimise the use of homeopathic remedies for animals.
In an open letter to the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, the
group says there is no clinical evidence that homeopathy works.

The vets have signed the letter to the RCVS, calling for it to
increase support for conventional medicine.

The RCVS has said it does not take a stance either way on homeopathy.

Professor Derek Knottenbelt, from the University of Liverpool, is
spokesman for the group of forty concerned vets, professors and veterinary
nurses.

He told BBC Radio Four's Farming Today programme that homeopathic
treatments had not gone through the rigorous clinical trials of conventional
medicines.

"Homeopathic medicine, in the broadest sense of the word, is unproven,
unscientific, and unvalidated," he said.

"In any sense of the word it is an unjustified approach to an ill
animal."

Alternative treatment

The RCVS says it only registers qualified vets and it is up to them
whether or not they practise homeopathic medicine alongside their
conventional treatments.

Its president, Lynn Hill said: "At the present time the Royal College
does believe very strongly in clinical choice both for the veterinary
surgeon and also the client."

Homeopathy is the treatment of 'like with like', its supporters say.
Minute doses of substances that can cause signs of illness in a healthy
person are used to treat the same symptoms in a sick patient.

Some homeopathic practitioners dilute the dose so much that no
molecules remain of the substance being diluted - believing that the
solution retains a "memory" or imprint" of the substance.

The vets who are objecting to homeopathic treatment say none of the
remedies have gone through the rigorous clinical trials that usual medicines
have to.

Animal welfare risk

Dr Simon Baker, a vet from Essex who signed the letter told the BBC:
"Our main concern is that homeopathy is unlikely to benefit animals.

"Very little work has been done with homeopathy and animals at all.
The main risk is that if anything does not go well their welfare has
suffered.

"There is the potential for things to get worse and worse and
homeopathy has the potential to provide explanations for all outcomes,
whether things get better or worse.

"If an animal does get worse then it's not had the opportunity to have
treatment that might have made them better.

"As vets, it's not our obligation to take regard of the owner's choice
if that choice is not for the benefit of the animal's welfare."

'Great strength'

But vet John Saxton, president of the faculty of homeopathy at the
Royal London Homeopathic Hospital, told BBC News homeopathy was only used,
where appropriate, as an "additional tool" in conjunction with conventional
medicine.

It was backed up by "basic research, evidence and scientific
theories," he added.

But its "great strength" was the ability to approach medical problems
from "an entirely different point of view".

Carl Barton, farm manager for the Goodwood Estate in West Sussex, told
Farming Today that homeopathy works.

"What one's got to remember is that these beasts we rely on for our
livelihood," he said.

"So we're not going to do anything lightly. So we treat them with
homeopathy, and it works very well. My herd is case proven."

Default RE: Vets protest over homeopathy plan

Though I disagree with the sentiments of the people who are complaining
about the use of homeopathy, I do believe that homeopathy within
veterinary practice within the UK should be regulated in some way. Any
vet can pick up a few books on homeopathy and start practicing with no
real knowledge of the subject. Because they are a vet, people
immediately assume that they will know what they are doing and will help
their animals. Here are just three examples of homeopathic practice by
vets in the UK that I have come across:

A cat given Merc-cor dry dose, twice daily for five years.
A dog that was on 13 different homeopathic remedies a day, by the time
it died.
A cat that was put on Silica and a nosode to be given daily in dry dose;
as the cat got worse and worse the owner was told to continue with the
treatment. This owner became friends with me and I put her onto a
Classical Hom who cured the cat in two months with minimal dosage.

It is unfair that because someone is a vet they can practice homeopathy
without any formal training and yet someone who is not a vet but who is
properly trained and competent, can not treat an animal. Once again
profits before the welfare of animals.

It is a shame when homeopathy is misused. I know a woman who has breast
cancer and her "homeopath" prescribed carsinosinum 200c once daily. I'm
not sure how any sort of regulation could prevent that. In the end
people get to make up their own minds about what is similar and what is
appropriate posology.

Though regulation couldn't stop vet homs from using any posology they
wanted, it could at least ensure that they had taken some formal
training in homeopathy.

Default RE: Vets protest over homeopathy plan

Regulation of homeopathic veterinary practice... An interesting idea. Maybe
we could first regulate conventional veterinary practice, and save animals
from over-vaccination, routine antibiotics, expensive drugs, and -

-SLAP!-

Oh. I must have been dreaming.

Seriously, though, it's my considered opinion that Those In Power who are
wanting to regulate homeopathy, those who are saying that it is "unproven,
unscientific, and unvalidated" want to suppress and really eliminate the
practice of homeopathy. The outright lies such as "Very little work has
been done with homeopathy and animals at all" are a thin veil for their
true intentions.

The statement: "If an animal does get worse then it's not had the
opportunity to have treatment that might have made them better" implies
that it's rare if an animal gets worse with conventional treatment. Oh, but
THEIR explanations when that happens are always believable, at least to them.

The clincher is this statement: "As vets, it's not our obligation to take
regard of the owner's choice if that choice is not for the benefit of the
animal's welfare."

Oh, really? Who decides if the choice is for the benefit of the animal's
welfare? Those In Power, of course. Think vaccination and antibiotics, folks.

It's all there, plain as day.

At least, thus far, with conventional (human) medicine, *I* have the right
to decide if *I* will accept a certain recommended treatment. I suppose
there are those who would eliminate that right.
