Homeopathy Tested on People, Used on Animals!
If a homeopathic remedy is given to healthy (human!) volunteers, symptoms are provoked. This is called a proving of the remedy. The strongest of the symptoms from the proving are then recorded. If the homeopath is then confronted with disease that matches the symptoms recorded, then that remedy can be given therapeutically. This stimulates a healing response in the body which in turn removes symptoms, regardless whether they come from infection, breakdown or reaction to the environment.
Veterinary homeopathy uses the human remedies in exactly the same way. A very full history of the nature of the condition and the nature of the patient is noted. This is analysed by the vet to find the closest possible match. The remedy selected is then administered to the animal in tablet or drops on a mild food stuff.
Research is ongoing in homeopathy. Overall, the results are positive. This is a tribute to workers throughout the world as modern research methods do not lend themselves easily to studying a form of medicine based on individualising prescriptions to suit the patient.
Horses, dogs and cats have been found to respond very well to homeopathic remedies.
