i don't know whom you're speaking of, but i bet i could guess--and if it's NOT her, well, then, there's just more than one quack out there.....
same thing goes with critters as with people--we get so desperate to find answers--ANY answers--and we leave ourselves wide open to the sort of individuals who claimed to have lost relatives in the WTC, or to have lost things in the hurricanes, and who have been appointed by some cosmic muffin as THE only-one-who-knows. i think a lot of folks fall into their traps because it would never occur to us to try to take advantage of tragedy, so we just don't believe anyone else would, too.
there are folks far more knowledgable than me re: good homeopaths/holistic/alternative practitioners--how to find them, as well as how to check out/spot the fakes.

Serious question, all of us love our cats and are often in desperate
situations, there is a " Homeopath" who also has a site, Without
going into all of the details which I have records of this person
frightens people in to following her plan and charges a lot of
money, she has made a claim on her site that she has an over 50%
success rate with FIP cats, yet she refuses to give any references,
If you ask you just get insulted, she tells them she can only take
on 2 FIP cases a week and if you are lucky enough to be selected for
her fee she will take you on as a client,
I have the invoice she charged one person I will Paste on here. I
have emails she sent another friend with an FIP cat that were
insulting and more than unprofessional, In my own experience with
this person I might have lost my IBD cat with cholangiohepatitis had
I listened to this person, I was berrated for taking my cat to the
vet. fortunately I did and he had a gall stone and without surgery
would have died, He is now fat and happy,
I could be totally wrong and this is what homeopaths do, so please
correct me if I am in error,

I am sure there are good , professional Homeopaths out there getting
a bad reputation from what I see as scam artists. Please share your
wise opinions here. also the price she is attempting to charge another friend.
I know we deal with bad VETS all the time, but there are others out
there willing to take advantage also.
