    Homeopathy - The Dog's Bollo.....

    Homeopathy does literally seem to be the dog's dangly bits

    Canine Testes as a homeopathic cure.

    Also available, Canine Ovaries

    It has been asked on a dog forum with a definite homeopathic/magnetic collar/sCAM bias what the heck they are supposed to cure? Asked by one of the few other skeptics over there.

    Anyone here know? Using duck liver/flu as a template I tried to work it out, but there is a leap too far with dog's testicles. What 'like cures like' could possibly even hint at doggy reproductive organs?

    Good place to adopt a dog from though.

    Even worse!!! My rescue kitty had her lady gubbins removed because she had a badly infected womb (before I adopted her) causing her last litter of kittens to die.

    Not all kitty and doggie 'bits' are removed from the neuter at six month brigade (when it comes to kitties, that includes me). Some are from dogs with testicular cancer. Some are from bitches with pyrometria. Some are from queens with the kittie equivalent of pyro.

    Where do the homeopaths get their kittie and doggie gubbins from? What health checks are carried out? 30C there would be no danger, but 6X?

    As a side note, did you know that xylitol is used in homeopathic 'sugar pills'? And did you know that xylitol is poisonous to dogs?

    So much for 'not dangerous' and 'natural'

    NOT THE BUNNIES



    Well, I must say I do love a plate of rabbit and cider stew. So what ever bunny blood cures, I'll be immune by now as I haven't have bunny stew for ages.

    But the electrical one.....I'm a bit confused.....

    Normally high voltage electricity and water (the base for homeopathic remedies, rather than the much more fun brandy of Rescue Remedies) don't mix.

    How, safely, did they get high voltage electricity into water?

    (Yeah, I know, insulation and boring stuff like that)

    How can I forget the vaccum cleaner dust? I'd be selling mine now to cure the worlds ills, but there is the faint smell of un-neutered male dog and febreeze. Hansel will not give up his balls unless he knows what they are going to cure.
