I just want to chime in, as someone with "family" working with homeopathy and reiki, some people genuinely do believe it. I thought it was a rich/upper middle-class thing tho ngl, I'm very surprised Jackson Galaxy is into it.


My mom tried to treat her cat with homeopathy some hack recommended to her because she didn't want him to be "drowsy" from regular medication (he had epilepsy), idk where people get these ideas. Though if people here say that Jackson Galaxy still strongly supports regular medicine then I think I can overlook it.

Oh, I don't doubt that there are people who sincerely believe it - that's what I'd categorize as poor judgment...and ignorance, and lack of critical thinking skills. Stuff like reiki might be a granola thing which is more upper middle class, but it's based on ignorance and gullibility, which transcends socio-economic classes.

IMO, the fact that he does recommend actual medical treatment doesn't mitigate it. Unless I misunderstand, you don't take homeopathic treatments if you're fine. You take it because you have a problem. If Galaxy is acting like homeopathy is a legit option, then he's selling snake oil to people who need real medicine. It's NOT a legitimate treatment on par with seeing a vet.
