Not sure if you are just trolling or malevolent on purpose. I did read the article and it literally says that is the intent and text of the law. Quote from the article: > More detailed rules from 2008 list products that should be preferred to medicine and antibiotics "provided that their therapeutic effect is effective". These include homeopathic products, but also various vitamins and compounds of mineral origin. Quote from the law: > Phytotherapeutic and homeopathic products, trace elements and products listed in [...] shall be used in preference to chemically-synthesised allopathic veterinary treatment or antibiotics, provided that their therapeutic effect is effective for the species of animal. Article 24, Section 1: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELEX:02008R0889-20150101&qid=1427277713676&from=EN https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CEL... Let me borrow a quote from Tim Minchin: "By definition, Alternative Medicine has either not been proved to work, or been proved not to work. Do you know what they call Alternative medicine that's been proved to work? Medicine." So the EU law actually says that ignorant quackery (herbal medicine) and fraudulent for-profit quackery (homeopathy) shall be preferred to any natural or synthetic remedy that has been proved to be effective (allopathic = evidence based medicine).
