I have never used Dr. Schwartz as a vet, so I can't really speak to her level of skill, or accuracy of what she says. If there are things there that people don't agree with, I hope that you'll present your point of view. As for me, I hope to learn Chinese medicine, and I realize that means that I won't have time to learn any of the other approaches. But, since the topic of combining the approaches was brought up, this was one source of information, good or bad, (I don't know which--but her reputation is quite good. I can't speak from personal experience, though.) I think that in general, there are many practioners, (with human or animal clients), who haven't quite mastered acupuncture, (or other approaches), though. I was treated initially by someone who never managed to hit a single acupuncture point, but she's a licensed practioner! So maybe there is a broader issue than Dr. Schwartz, and that's skill level and knowledge of practioners in general. What do others think? As I tried to explain in my other post, I'm not in a position to pretend to know a great deal just yet--but I'm doing my best to learn all that I can.

Guest guest Posted November 27, 1999 Report Share Posted November 27, 1999 I've been licensed in acupuncture since 1982 and combine approaches when I think it will be helpful. There was a course in homeopathy in my acupuncture college (California Acupuncture College - closed many years ago in L.A.) which gave us a basic background in it. I've never tried to be a classical homeopath for my patients, but I think it's been helpful to them, for example, to provide BHI remedies, e.g., to help an asthma patient at home. So long as one is careful, scholarly, and consults with knowledgeable advisers provided by the homeopathic and herb companies, one can develop some confidence in complementary therapies while realizing one's limitations.
