Im thinking of taking a Holistic Animal Healing course with the BSY. can anybody tell me if the BSY are good?

Question

i have seen 1/2 posts on a forum which painted the BSY in a negative light, especially when it came to their qualifications being recognized. im now a bit hesitant of enrolling. however, they are the only company i have seen that offer the Holistic animal healing course.

any advice/info is greatly appreciated

Answer 1

You'd be best off ignoring any course with "holistic" in the title.

These are courses used by those who want to pretend to be "healers" while avoiding difficult ideas about science, evidence, logic, maths, pharmacy or anatomy.

It's total quackery.

Do something useful with your life.

That is your opinion, and one to which you are perfectly entitled. However, I take great exception to this part of your reply...

"These are courses used by those who want to pretend to be "healers" while avoiding difficult ideas about science, evidence, logic, maths, pharmacy or anatomy."

I don't have to pretend to be a healer. I am a qualified nurse with over 15 years experience. So I'll wager that my knowledge of pharmacology and anatomy & physiology far outsrips most people's. Nor do I avoid 'difficult' ideas. I have been involved with several nursing research programmes and have implemented chages as a result of the research undertaken.

I am a qualified massage therapist, so class myself as a holistic therapist as well as a nurse. Kindly don't tar me with your opinions please as you know nothing about me.

Back on topic. I've never had any dealings with the BSY so I couldn't comment on how valid their courses are.
