I'm rarely on Facebook these days but every time I log on I'm confronted with ads for a "School of Traditional Skills." $290 a year, not the sort of thing I'm into. It's stuff like canning, homesteading, raising a milking cow, and things like that. I clicked on the "Classes" page and noticed "Herbal First Aid with Dr. Patrick Jones." I was sure I was going to see some kind of quackery like the Clayton College of Natural Health, but instead this person has a DVM and practices as a real licensed veterinarian in Idaho. Quote from the website, emphasis mine: That sounds like practicing medicine without a license to me.
Maybe. It says “Herbal First Aid….” not “Herbal First Aid for Humans” which even if it did they could probably say it is “for humans to apply to animals.” It sounds to me that all of those injuries are related to the animals he has treated and he is asserting success with herbal remedies. It is probably taught from the perspective of “these herbs have been shown to have success in various applications so if you find yourself needing these for humans, it may work, otherwise I have used these things for emergency response for pets/livestock.”
Humans do the same thing, just not with grass. Sometimes, a good puke really is what your stomach needs to settle down. Often not, though.
