An amendment to the EU's draft budget for a €2 million pilot research project into homeopathy and phytotherapy for farm animals has been approved today by the European Parliament's Agriculture Committee.
BVA President Harvey Locke, said: "Millions of Euros have already been spent on trying to prove the scientific efficacy of homeopathic medicines. To date we have not seen any data to prove they can be effective in the treatment of bacterial infections.
"Whilst it is unlikely that €2 million will be able to determine whether or not there is a basis for claiming homeopathic products can work, we welcome European investment in veterinary research and hope that the results of the pilot will be useful."

'Whilst it is unlikely that 2 million will be able to determine whether or not there is a basis for claiming homeopathic products can work.....' - so what we are saying here then is that 2 million euros is going to be a small drop in an ocean which homeopathically speaking makes it pretty damn potent - see I have got the gist of this already, now just send me the money!
