Episode 26 – Faith, Placebos, and Healing

Have you ever experienced what appeared to be several quite unrelated events, only to later realized that they all were linked by a greater theme? That’s what led to this podcast. I was involved in discussions with colleagues about two quite different projects as well as those with clients about their animals with equally different problems. Superficially none of these appeared to have anything in common. But as I thought about them as a group as well as individually, I realized that human beliefs about faith, placebos, and healing played an integral role in them all.

Amazingly, the dogs were very quiet for this except for the jingling of tags. But that’s such a constant with busy young animals, I don’t even notice it any more. Dare I hope they’re maturing?
