[edit]

The holistic section of this article has some pretty wild unsourced claims. It would be great if an expert could source those claims or (more likely) remove what a lot of vets would find ridiculous. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.165.250.62 (talk) 11:21, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I deleted the following passage: "Cholostrum is an antioxidant herb. During cancer, it can be used to boost the immune system; promote healing; maintain, build, and repair bone mass, muscles, nerves, and cartilage." I think the contributor was referring to colostrum, which is not an 'antioxidant herb', but a form of mammalian milk. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.97.194.86 (talk) 17:06, 18 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The entire holistic section is poorly cited and filled with absurd claims. I will BB and remove it pending a massive reversal of all medical science and rational thought, or the second coming of Raptor Jesus to provide evidence of such claims. I wonder how many innocent animals have died because their owners are idiots and don't believe in an evidence based approach over anecdotes. At present the section reads <weasel word> <substance> <anecdotal claim> ('Some holistic shaman use taka iki bukkake mushrooms which open your cat's chakra's to healing spirit's that eat cancer and poop rainbows.') so I'm hoping the bar is high as to the level of stupidity requisite to follow such instructions. The entire thing is out of line for the general prose and reads more like someone inserted a random 1980's women's magazines guru section as opposed to an ecyclopedic article. Poor form, regardless.
