Antibiotics have already shown to bear some danger to public health, especially, if overused. Use of potentized (so called homeopathic) medicines in face of existing threat of infection is known already for centuries. Just to mention famous cholera outbreak in London, where died so many people under conventional care (When the cholera epidemic hit London in 1854, the death rate at orthodox hospitals was 52% whereas at the Homoeopathic Hospital it was 16%. In rest of Europe figures were even more impressive - as 70 and 10%). Although well known and documented, prescribing and using potentiate medicines usually requires some special knowledge, since there are some basic differences in the use of those medicines. In spite of this, many of potentized medicines can be used in a quite similar manner as we use conventional drugs. Doing so, in many instances antibiotic usage can be avoided. To avoid over-use of antibiotics, definitely need to take into account any other therapies that are able to restore the health of animals without antibiotics. Homeopathic remedies can quickly enough to activate the horse's immune possibilities to be able to recover, despite the presence of microorganisms. Basic knowledge on use of the potentized drugs should be given during the study period of veterinary medicine.
