I just received this email from HomeoPet. Im not sure where to start on the bullshit. *blinks* Dear Yvette. Your post deserves a reply on a number of levels. As a chemist Im sure you would wish to correct the inaccuracies in your Facebook post. Firstly, Yvette you say incorrectly that all homeopathics have no chemical element. Not true, and definitely not true in the case of HomeoPet’s WRM Clear as it is a 3x - a dilution of 1:1000. What this achieves is reduce the toxicity of the active ingredients to very safe levels, you may be interested to know that hormones such as oxytocin and oestrogen are now realised to be biologically active at dilutions around 11x (1:100,000,000,000) to 12x in homoeopathic terms, dilutions which used to be considered impossible for biological activity! Even taking this aside Yvette you imply that homeopathics are dangerous, and have no effect above placebo, yet there is plenty of scientific research to refute this, you might consider broadening your research by looking at the 839 Veterinary Peer Reviewed, the 144 Veterinary related Invitro and the 490 Non-peer Reviewed Veterinary, as well many other papers at homeopathicvet.org showing definitively homeopathy has far more than a placebo effect. Much of this evidence does not find its way into main stream journals, who are fearful of sponsorship loss should they publish such evidence. You point out that unlike others, “Im fortunate enough that I know how to read these labels carefully when Buddy is sick, but not everyone is. “These pets deserve better than sugar pills. Might I respectfully point out that that HomeoPet WRM Clear is a liquid not a sugar pill. There are many pets coming into my practise that have serious adverse reactions to chemical treatments, (please put in adverse reactions to chemical wormers into your research interface) from vomiting and diarrhoea to much more serious liver issues or obstruction from large numbers of chemically killed worms and these animals, more than any other, benefit hugely from a safe non toxic homeopathic medicine like HomeoPet WRM Clear. This does not mean that I am advocating against the use of chemical wormers (indeed I use both in my practice) - they are effective, but can come with side effects! This point you have failed to present in your attack on natural alternatives when saying pets deserve better! Have your readers been informed that many wormers that are on sale in the US have been banned in Europe due to side effects? That a base component in some of them has been directly connected to the declining population of bees? As a chemist you will appreciate that the use of any drug, natural or otherwise, can effect patients differently. Should an animal not respond positively to a treatment then the sensible thing to do it to reassess the patient. You will kow that on all HomeoPet packaging (as you will have read on both box and bottle) it is clearly stated that should the patient not respond to treatment or if you are in any doubt you should contact your vet. Contact your vet should problem persist. If this is perfectly acceptable for chemicals why not natural alternatives, surely the same rules apply? Might I add that I have seen animals (and humans) dreadfully debilitated from chemical use, thankfully I have yet to experience a single example of the same attributed to the use of HomeoPet products. Indeed I have daily contact with many owners whose pets have benefited greatly from safe, gentle and effective homeopathic treatment.
