Plant medicines have been used in conventional, standard veterinary medicine for decades and were simply displaced when the synthetic era emerged. Many medically important drugs were alkaloids such as strychnine and brucine (Strychnos nux vomica), atropine (Atropa belladonna) and aconitine (Aconitum napellus), to name but a few. These plants and their constituents are considered completely toxic as taught to modern veterinary students. However, prior to 1950, veterinary students studied Materia Medica, in which the identification, medicinal preparation, indications, therapeutics, toxicology and antidotes of plants and their active constituents were learned in great detail. 

Botanical medicine is making a resurgence in veterinary medicine. Even though botanical veterinary was mainstream, how is this mode of therapy looked at by regulatory authorities? During this webinar you'll learn what to look for in plant herbal products in the market place and why you can get some easily and others not so easily. 

For the entirety of his 30-year career, Dr. Hubert Karreman has practiced integrative medicine and has professionally bridged conventional and alternative veterinary treatments to colleagues. He is a renowned expert in the non-antibiotic treatment of infectious disease and the non-hormonal treatment of infertility, and has given talks on these topics around the world. 

His passion remains the promotion of botanical and biological medicines to reduce the use of antibiotics in livestock and the regulatory framework that would allow their use under the Pasteurized Milk Ordinance. He continues to explore ways to encourage alternatives to pharmaceutically manufactured antibiotics/hormones for the nation’s food supply.
