Thank you, that answers that.
I personally would not recognise any qualifications in homeopathy, but if you get to call yourself "doctor" after obtaining one, then fair enough.
I note that they guy in this video said nothing bad about the CST itself, and I would hope nobody infers that from anything I said.

No worries
I personally think Homeopathy is a load of codswallop myself, but each to their own. It's something he was interested in earlier in life; he owned an electronics shop before he and his wife started the charity in 1977. He's got some pretty maverick views on conservation and the world in general. I don't agree with his approach on everything, nor necessarily how he interprets everything that's going on in the world, but life would be very, very dull populated by clones of ourselves wouldn't it. And to quote the Director of Zoology here at London Zoo (when I asked him about Terry in 2006), "Conservation needs mavericks."
Bit mental someone's made a video trying to damn the guy though, he's not known outside of the work he does for conservation

I've not seen anything else this guy has done
and I'm not inclined to, that was 14 minutes of my life I won't get back in a hurry. I only watched it because I recognised the name. I think Terry Moore only crossed his radar because he's obsessed with this Searl guys's work.
Searl, as far as I can tell, is a money-grabbing liar and charlatan who is as much a professor as I am an astronaut. This guy's issue seems to be with the fact that Dr Moore endorses his work, and the title "doctor" lends it an air of legitimacy (much like "professor" does). Now, if he's entitled to call himself doctor, it's all above board. My opinion about the validity of his qualification is really neither here nor there.

I'm sitting in a zoological library normally used by PhD students
I help them become doctors basically, that's part of my job when i'm not photographing artwork for publishers. They will be no more qualified to prescribe me morphine than my mum, and yet are called Doctors when their research is done.
Do you think Terry would have lasted since 1977 running a charity if he had any deceptions about him. He has to work with the government, and governments of other countries. He has a reservation in Argentina. We made a documentary for the Discovery Channel which was broadcast quite literally in every country in the world where there is basically television. In all that time no one has investigated his background and come back to him saying your qualification is a lie mate. Most people who deceive like that keep their heads down in life. not make television to be shown all round the world

I'm not saying anything like that,
just trying to explain why this bloke talks about him in the video (because you already said you can't watch it with sound).
Dr Moore is a doctor, he's entitled to call himself doctor. That's all there is to it. Like I say, I consider that title to be meaningless if he's a doctor of homeopathy, but that's just my opinion, and is nothing to do with him. Anyway, it was you that said homeopathy was "a load of codswallop", not me.

Ah cool
Given this library is currently empty, I might turn up the sound..
..though knowing my luck the MD will suddenly appear at the most embarrassing moment, when that Youtube nutter is in full swing

Always worth remembering when watching youtube at work:
You are only ever two clicks away from sideboob.
