AVMA is now targeting homoepathy

[Pookie]

Unfortunately, I didn't see this until Saturday when it was up for a vote:

Dr. Jean's blog about this issue:  http://www.littlebigcat.com/blog/avma-resolution-against-homeopathy/

And the info on the AVMA's website:  http://atwork.avma.org/2013/01/05/proposed-resolution-3-homeopathy-update/

This whole issue is absurd.  And how foolish the AVMA is, because the more they attack holistic medicine, the more they will drive away pet parents and vets that actually care about their patients.  I could rant more about this but don't really have time right now.  Please, even if you don't or have never used homeopathy, if you want to have as many options as possible to help your furkids, let the AVMA know that they need to BACK OFF on these attacks on holistic medicine.  Thanks!

UPDATE (1/6/13): The resolution passed its first hurdle yesterday, and has been referred to a committee that will study it and make a recommendation to the AVMA House of Delegates for final action at the convention in July.  Thank you to everyone who called or wrote –the AVMA is quite annoyed about all all the non-members and non-vets contacting them. So: good job, everyone!

I will let you know as soon as we have more information on what further action may be most appropriate.
