Yes, there is a lot of programming and status quo to deal with, plus pressure. The doc who suggested that washing hands between patients was totally discredited, would have to look up his name. So much for common sense.

Yet when I listen to one of the top cancer educators in the world (Ty Bollinger) present holistic veterinarians, who indicate that even knowing that vaccines cause cancer, that the system indicates veterinarians are supposed to just give it in the leg, so the leg can be removed, it is VERY challenging to be empathetic. Greed and greed-based harm have no place in health and healing in any form. No excuses. (Root canals and circumcision go in this category in MHO)

Thanks for your perspective Michelle. I'd have to disagree with your final statement that the early ones to "change horses" are in for retaliation, etc. I think the larger experience my colleagues in homeopathy have experienced is one of great appreciation from clients, who have longed for a more sensible approach to health and a medical system that's not damaging. If a handful of colleagues don't see that light, they've largely stayed out of the way of those doing the work. The "pooh poohing" that may happen in conventional meetings is nothing I've got a care for. My CE credits have been for homeopathy certification and I quietly ignored the ones for my license, for years on end. I knew in my heart that my CE was what counted, what helped me be a better homeopath, and do a better job for my patients.

All this to say: don't be discouraged if you're a vet who's interested in "alternatives" that are safe and efficacious. Go for it. You'll have no end of business and you'll know you are contributing in a very real way to the betterment of the animal kingdom. And isn't that why we became vets in the first place?
