I am having wonderful luck with Alferon, the natural interferon, But
I read the studies first,
SAM-E is a supplement that is proven to work on the liver,
Great things out there.

FIP is difficult any way you look at it. I don't know what his/her
claims are, but I think if anything the client is agreeing (I
assume) to try anything in an already impossible situation.
Slippery elm is really reasonable, as it's soothing to the digestive
tract. I've used it, love it.
Interferon is something I would have tried, and it didn't seem to be
too expensive.
I used an Australian homeopath for a Feleuk kitty once, but again,
think it's a shot in the dark for an impossible situation. All that
$$$ down the tubes. Happens with people who are sick too :)
Sorry, I'm heading out right now or would read more detail, but
looking at what's on the list, what's on her list seems to make
sense. Which doesn't mean she's necessarily nice, or skilled, just
not unreasonable.
Oops, gotta run - out of time to meet someone for dinner.

Would you risk your pets life to anyone making claims they can't or
will not back up. I would love to see them work. That is true for
any profession, Medical, legal, financial etc.
I would not hire anyone to put a roof on my house without
references, I want to see their work and talk to their other clients,
I think that is reasonable and prudent and responsible,

I'm a big fan of homeopathy, and use it regularly myself, with
great success (never tried it with FIP though). Her list of
"stuff" looks reasonable. But I'd be interested in knowing who this is.

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.
