Still Waters Posted April 19, 2018 #1 Share Posted April 19, 2018 A Canadian naturopath claims she treated a 4-year-old boy's behavioral problems with a controversial homeopathic remedy – this is, saliva from a rabid dog. The recent claims have caused concern in the medical community and prompted questions about why the saliva – known as lyssinum, lyssin or hydrophobinum – has been approved by the Canadian government as a legitimate homeopathic product. Anke Zimmermann, from Victoria, wrote on her blog in February that she used the saliva last year to treat a preschooler who had been having trouble sleeping and behaving in the classroom. https://www.sciencealert.com/a-4-year-old-had-been-growling-at-preschool-so-a-naturopath-gave-him-rabid-dog-saliva 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
