This story makes my brain hurt.

opossum milk
or willow bark

Aspirin allergy,but thanks.
In all seriousness though, this is extreme and I would seriously be questioning the capabilities of this person, not only in regard to health advice but parenting. I'm sure there are many in the same profession that would not have even considered rabid dog saliva. Good grief. There are homeopathic remedies on the market to calm hyper children.

Good choices but the OP material suggests using Rabies to cure brain issues. So a choice between old, tried and true and more modern, canine/mammal derived treatments.

Then there is always aspirin ...

Oops, aspirin is a problem. Amend my post to ibuprofen ...

1. What do you think about Homeopathy? What are your experiences with it?

I think that one case is the exception and not the rule.

Such minority views are very much steering public perception these days all across the full scope of current topics.

By design such will end everyone and everything if continued.

I also think that if you make antibiotics at home then that could be labeled as homeopathy....

Antibiotics are nothing to do homeopathy. Homemade or not.

is that your official opinion there mr. genius?

So if i grow my own garlic or make some liquid silver then i am a freakin medical student?

How about if i actually make some penicillin? is my house to be considered a laboratory

None of those things is homeopathy either.

oh i see we are dealing with a war of words here... one where people say one thing but mean another...


ho·me·op·a·thy
ˌhōmēˈäpəTHē/Submit
noun
the treatment of disease by minute doses of natural substances that in a healthy person would produce symptoms of disease.

so the most widely known example of homeopathy is........VACCINES by definition.

oh how quaint

Nope vaccines are not homeopathy.

If rabid dogs are outlawed only criminals will have rabid dogs. Then how to cure rabies?

I am calling total mythical bs on the story...

ZERO proof of any rabid dog.

Just a rouse to give a bad name to some forms of treatment cause the government does not get paid from it.

I suppose death is a remedy but probably not the type of remedy being sought.

your one liner is lacking

help me out here

why the heck not

is the government immune from definitions

It was a choice between the lessor of two evils , either rabid dog saliva or bieber spit...

a reply to: Prankster

If the kid's tantrums were annoying, just wait until he starts singing and acting like Bieber. I see why the dog was chosen.

Personally I wouldn't be so cocky when it comes to homeopathy. Especially not with quantum mechanics in mind.
Water has been thought to have 'memory', for a long time in Asia.
I could probably come up with an explanation as to why it could work in a few minutes [just guesses from what I know]. In my [I have to point out, very scientific] mind, as long as I can come up with a reasonable/possible [never mind how far fetched] explanation, I will not slag anything off.
Especially not things that have been believed long before our 'modern' medicine existed.

I can't poo poo something unless I know everything [and I mean absolutely everything] about it, from all angles and all sciences.

I know H it works in a lot of animals, and I have some remedies that I use when agitated, which seem to work, but I do not really count human experience too much unless it is a covered trial, to eliminate the placebo effect.

To me there is still too much unanswered to go all 'high and mighty' yet. Who knows what they find out in a few years that could explain a lot more.
People thought atoms were the smallest particle once and since finding out they aren't, many unexplained [or laughed at] theories suddenly make sense.

Just saying.

Opossum Milk? You can milk those critters?

That probably has something to do with their forked penis.

Would assume that if you are claiming something is homeopathy you would know what it meant.

Does that mean water also remembers all poo?

a reply to: JohnnyCanuck

It is one of those Appalachian cures for bacterial infections...

They say it is a cure all due to properties that are passed to the young due to the unique diet of the creature.

Unique diet being any and everything.

Where the holy hell did this homeopath find rabid dog saliva anyway????????? Sounds like a whole lotta BS to me.

So many logical fallacies and inaccuracies in one post.

Not surprisingly arguing in favor of homeopathy, which is pseudoscience.

Vaccines are not homeopathic. Try again.

1. What do you think about Homeopathy? What are your experiences with it?

It's 100% placebo.

2. What should happen (if anything) to the woman for treating her child with dog drool? Is it child-abuse or neglect?

CPS should be called.

3. How have you dealt with a child's behavior issues?

I don't have kids

PS: I'm going to put this on r/vaxxhappened.
