For clarity's sake, she's a regular vet. I think part of her bio is supposed to read like, "Tom enjoys Whitewater rafting on the weekends and long walks". The part that amused me though was the "acupuncture for small animals".

As far as homeopathic remedies go, my stepmom has been into them for a long time, so I have tried them for a lot of them for different things. What I have found from them is that they work once or twice and then they quit working. I don't know how much of that is from the placebo effect. For instance, I took melatonin to help with sleep once, and I got the best night of sleep that I had in years. Melatonin is known to be a mild hypnotic, among other things. It worked the first and second times I took it, and then it quit working. I kept taking it for another month and it didn't have any effect. At all.
