"A crucial part of homeopathic care is the consultation." is said at 5:02, yet I can't help but wonder how the hell a HORSE or COW has a consultation? - Right there, homeopathy breaks it's OWN RULE! - Because the animals CAN'T LIE about being sick, the truth remains the ANIMALS CAN'T COMMUNICATE being sick either! - Who says the horse is ill? The owner? The Vet? Perhaps it's an ANIMAL PSYCHIC! - This is ALL BULLSHIT! - Homeopathy doesn't work anymore than a psychic reading!
80 success rate? Was there a control group treated with a real placebo? Cou;d not the animal's OWN IMMUNE system be curing itself? Afterall, that happens all the time, we don't need medicine to cure the common cold.
It's interesting that the veterinarian using homeopathis remedies didn't do a scientific double-blind test, but rather he knew which was a placebo and an actual homeopathic medicine. That could EASILY trigger a 'sense' to the animals, similar to the ones they sense with epileptisc seizures. Animals pick up on behavior patterns that are invisible to most humans. I'm assuming the BBC left in his claims to make the outcome more dramatic.
exaclty. There is no testimony from the animals or testing done on them, its only he animal ownes, or vets that are interpreting the results as an increase and benefit.
@VimisiDigitalMedia They also didn't mention that plenty of animals have died from curable diseases because they were given homeopathy rather than real medicine.
@VimisiDigitalMedia Plus we only have his word, it's anecdotal evidence isn't it. The vet could be just talking out of his arse. Or have deluded himself that the ones he dosed get healthier. Plus he probably pampered the ones he dosed, he could easily curb the results with his treatment of the animals such as you suggest .Or maybe just physically, such as feed, grooming and so on. people convince themselves there not favouring one thing over another to bend a result ALL the time. Don't u think?
Something else I remembered about this case was the awarding of the Ig Nobel prize to Benviniste for his claim that 'Water has a memory'. This was done before the interviews for this program, so it is relevant that Benveniste seems so relaxed about it. It was unfortunate to see such an exalted bio-scientist shot to pieces and held up to ridicule. Was it deserved? I think that he should have got some other lab to check his experiment. That is what usually happens. His ego wouldn't allow it.
Homeopathy should be seen as 'talking a good story'. It is very much like psychiatry. Once you have spent an hour talking to your expert, you feel relieved. No medication necessary. Same with the animals- they are not stuck in a cage and frightened- like a visit to the vet- but lots of care and space and a warm shed. No wonder they get better- sometimes.
