A Good Sign in the New Year

Last month’s editorial mentioned that the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) was considering a resolution that would have condemned homeopathy as being ineffective. At their recent executive board meeting the AVMA voted against that resolution…for the moment. Apparently a number of AVMA members threatened not to renew their membership if the resolution passed. Other veterinarians declared that they would not join AVMA if the resolution were adopted. The final decision will be made in the Spring, and we don’t know how it will turn out, but this shows that veterinarians who either practice homeopathy or appreciate its value, were willing to make their voices heard. I take this as a positive sign as we go into the New Year.
