Well, one small problem with this easy dismissal: animals respond very positively to well chosen homeopathic remedies. In serious chronic diseases, no less, like autoimmune hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, cancer even. As a practicing and certified veterinary homeopath with a busy case load in this medicine for the last 18 years, I can tell you that *animals do not have a placebo response.* They either get better or they don't, and they are very plain and simple about telling you when the remedy is wrong, and you need to choose another. When it's right, and used correctly, the whole animal gets better, not just the chief complaint they came in with.
So, don't discount homeopathy because the British quackbusters are all up in arms. The animals tell us otherwise, on a daily basis.

Heomeopathy = Placebo so no surprise there . . .
