001. @horsetalk.co.nz, in "Homeopathy 'Not Based on Sound Scientific Principles' Vet Body Declares" (2017-12-07) we're told:
"Britain’s Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons position on homeopathy is that it is 'not based on sound scientific principles' [...] the RCVS said [...] 'it is vital to
protect the welfare of animals committed to the care of the veterinary
profession and the public’s confidence in the profession that any
treatments not underpinned by a recognised evidence base or sound
scientific principles do not delay or replace those that do [...] we would like to highlight our commitment
to promoting the advancement of veterinary medicine on sound scientific
principles and to reiterate the fundamental obligation on our members
as practitioners within a science-based profession, which is to make
animal welfare their first consideration [...] in fulfilling this
obligation, we expect treatments offered by veterinary surgeons are
underpinned by a recognised evidence base or sound scientific
principles. Veterinary surgeons should not make unproven claims about
any treatments, including prophylactic treatments [...] homeopathy
exists without a recognised body of evidence for its use. Furthermore,
it is not based on sound scientific principles' [...]";
hear, hear.
002. meanwhile, organized North American naturopathy -- which treats PEOPLE -- states:
002.a. that homeopathy is a "medicinal science", perpetually, in "Zicam is NOT Homeopathy!":
"homeopathy is a 200 year-old medicinal science."
that's bullshit.
002.b. and falsely claims on the North American ND board exam NPLEX, perpetually, that homepathy is a "clinical science."
I would think we'd want to treat people at least as well as animals.
