I appreciate your writing in, Dr. Schaedel.

I do think that quality veterinary medical education requires ongoing scrutiny of the curriculum.

This article summarizes my concerns about the use of TCM in both humans and animals and I wish I could force some of my clients to read it as well. I am disturbed to read that TCM is becoming a larger part of the veterinary curricula. Dr. Robinson brings up some very critical points about the safety and ethical issues with TCM herbs that many people are not aware of. Thank you Dr. Robinson!
