Unless you believe in non-evidence based "medicine"
"here's the secret your doctor doesn't want you to know!"
and it only works if the memory of what was in it would cause the symptoms of whatever you're experiencing.
You can cure some diseases. But they are the diseases that are caused by nutritional deficiencies.
It cures parvo, too 😉
I get that you guys don't think these things can cure major diseases but I don't think that means they're dismissible I think they have real benefits for people and can even lead to healthier individuals. Speaking for myself and some others I know, I sort of feel like when people in the scientific community totally dismiss people who talk about these things it may turn people further away from solely trusting traditional medicine
I mean what's wrong with lemons and garlic and coconut oil though
I definitely understand what you mean I just meant that sometimes the attitudes of both sides just lead to more people on each extreme which in our unfortunate case as doctors or future doctors would mean more people who are very distrusting of modern medicine
Oh wait no I didn't mean for pets I thought we were talking about human medicine
Fascinating! I'll have to look up more about this!
I get what you're saying. I'm sure the position you're in is insanely frustrating and I do like hearing yours and other doctor's perspectives on these things because I realize I haven't had to deal with these issues at that level
To add onto this @hazelmoo, it's not entirely unheard of for a humanely euthanized animal of that size to be left in place for a few days, especially if it's cold out. Without knowing what was going on at all, you can only speculate. For all we know, those 3 animals had horrendous foot rot that the vet couldn't manage within the owner's budget. They were unable to walk elsewhere without extreme pain, so they were euthanized on the spot. Who knows. Usually, you'd walk them elsewhere, but like I said, we have no idea what the situation was or how long they'd been there. Plus, asking beef to cooperate with you is not exactly the easiest thing to do.
I had one more thing to say to this. Sometimes, we *have* to take a hard stance or it legitimizes treatments that may be harmful or prevent good, solid treatments from taking place. For instance, your dog has a mast cell tumor (MCT) and someone told you that coconut oil slathered on it would cure it without harmful things like chemo and surgery. We know that's not the case and that in certain cases, MCT is cured by excision. If it means that you place your dog in danger of metastatic disease as a result, I am going to tell you it is a bad plan and I'm not okay with that.
The other thing that I think people miss in the PETA style advertising is that there's 0 benefit to a farmer/feedlot owner to dead cows. There's no benefit to causing the cows unnecessary stress. They don't grow that way. It's detrimental to the owner to treat the cows poorly because that loses money. That's not to say that abuse doesn't happen, because well, some humans are jerks. But using abuse by a few to damn the whole animal production system is like saying that people shouldn't have pets because some jerks abuse their dogs.
Which I'm pretty sure is another thing that PETA would agree with
I'm at work so I don't have the time to find this on the interwebs but mental image:
Not seeing where the problem is...
Only if you brought enough for the rest of us.
Yeah seriously. Even your cell phone emits some amount of radiation. Every so often it seems like people get freaked out and word spreads not to keep them in your pockets.
Or sleep with your phone by your head, or eat a banana, or watch your dinner cook in the microwave, or walk in the sun..... And so on. Lol
I do all of those things.
Me too!I do all of those things.
Bananas are gross. Does that mean i'll live forever?
