They found that homeopathy can be used in place of pesticides, protecting plants like strawberries against pesticides, which is one of the most heavily treated crops here in the United States.
Uh, a lot of the good research in, in veterinary medicine comes from the United Kingdom.

What if many of the chronic health problems we see today aren't caused by a lack of medication, but by too much medical intervention? What if healing isn't something that comes from outside of the body, but something the body already knows how to do when given the right support? Today, we explore one of the most misunderstood and most controversial systems of medicine in the world, homeopathy.
This is episode five hundred and eighty-eight, and our guest today is Dr. Ronald Whitmott.
Dr. Whitmott is a second generation homeopathic physician who grew up in a family deeply rooted in homeopathy, psychology, and holistic healing.
Dr. Whitmott attended medical school, completed conventional medical training, served as a medical officer in the US Navy, and has spent nearly three decades helping patients recover from both acute and chronic illnesses through homeopathy and lifestyle medicine.
In this conversation, Dr. Whitmott explains what homeopathy actually is, how it differs from conventional medicine, and why he believes modern microbiome research is beginning to validate observations homeopaths have made for centuries.
We discuss the history of homeopathy in America, the impact of the Flexner Report, common misconceptions about homeopathic remedies, the role of homeopathy in animals and agriculture, and the growing body of research examining its effects.
We also explore the broader question of what it truly means to heal and whether medicine has become too focused on suppressing symptoms rather than supporting the body's natural resilience.
