The lastes of many names is Torsion Fields.. Torsion Field therapy main stream science refused to believe it exsists so like homeopathy the less well educated think its a joke. Whereas the CIA, MoD and KGB have been experimenting for too many years. Playing mind games.. Its known as stealth technologies weapon system. Much of this technology is mesured on reverse polarity or phasing. Where most of modern technology should be mesured. Einstein knew all about it.

And until you are able to show some data that supports your beliefs, I will have to conclude that you are too.

I also run a private animal sanctuary. I have used homeopathy with my animal charges many times, often AFTER mainstream vets have given up and have claimed nothing more could be done. To claim homeopathy does not work because one can not precisely say how is like saying the only part of the light spectrum to exist is the portion that can be viewed with the human eye.Check out any PDR and one quickly discovers that the majority of medications work but no one knows why. I believe the main reason why homeopathy is viewed so negatively is because this form of healing makes health accessible to ALL, instead of only those can afford treatment.

It looks like people may be willing to pay a premium for the 'holistic' services offered. Undoubtedly, people feel better served by a vet who takes longer and that time must be paid for. This is the point of my article. As for regulation in the UK, I see very little to hinder homeopathic veterinary practices. The regulatory body does not appear to think there may be a problem.

Thus, I expect that it will take hold in less well-regulated places than GB. If homeo-vet is to take hold, it needs to be cheaper than standard care.

Hum… homeopaths demanding all criticism of homeopathy be removed – remind you of anything?
