Homeopahtic medicine may have some direct scientific basis, but it better expresses the power of a proper state of mind for healing. Faith healing tries to create that state of mind to help the body heal itself. For example, when someone is happy and forfilled they are less likely to need as much sleep, because the body is able to recover easier when one is happy. Animal medicine beyond cancer, bone breaks, etc., is partially connected to human psychology. Much of the treatment is as much for the owner as it is for the pet. If the owner is worried about the pet's eye goo, the pet will react to these emotions. If the owner feels secure, the pet will feel that and may make a miraculus recovery. My little niece who loves animals summed it up best, there are no stupid animals just stupid owners. If one treats an animal like an animal you are doing it a service because it can be what nature intended to be. If you treat it like a child it will have to act unnaturally to forfill the needs of the owner, thereby creating unnatural stresses that may assist in sickness thereby forfilling the nurturing needs of the owner.
