Homeopathy for Pets: Benefit With Chronic Disease

A Swiss and German study of almost 4,000 patients, including adults and children, showed that homeopathic medications significantly improved symptoms caused by chronic illness. Most subjects in the study had been ill for more than 8 years. Patients making the greatest improvement were those with the most severe disease and those who had been ill the longest.

A variety of medical problems \ were treated including allergies, migraine, and skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis. The study was conducted for two years, and at the end of the study the majority of subjects reported that, their diseases decreased from 6.2 to 2.2 on a scale of 1-10. Physicians, who also rated disease progression, calculated similar improvements in subjects.

Animals benefit from homeopathy just as humans do, but it can be difficult to find effective products. Homeopathic medications are unlike antibiotics and other medications we're used to. Homeopathics are affected by the energy of the company producing them. Thus, some companies that once made good products no longer do so. Your veterinarian will help you find effective homeopathics.

Among the benefits of using homeopathic medications—in addition to their clinical success—is that they do not interfere with any other medication your pet is taking. They do not interfere with anesthetics or surgery. They do not have the serious side effects characteristic of many medications, yet their benefits are very powerful.
