Vaccine Damage Denial and the British Press

Mon, Nov 21, 2011

The contemporary deep silence on vaccine damage, and the role of the press appears to be a complete reversal of the position forty years ago when, for example, The Sunday Times and its journalists campaigned over a seven year period, under the leadership of the paper's editor, to bring to light the cases of mothers and their children affected by Thalidomide. The media in Britain has now almost completely shut down on the Dr. Wakefield related MMR story. Although journalists themselves and people 'in the know', tend to offer blasé explanations for the lack of media investigation, such as 'the story is written-out', it would be quite irrational to imagine that the massively funded science lobby groups are not burrowing away in the background, achieving their objectives.

Homeopathy and the Legal Question - An Historical Perspective

Mon, Nov 21, 2011

When Samuel Hahnemann in the 1800’s wanted to justify his Theory of Chronic Diseases intellectually, he began by tracing his argument back historically. Similarly, it will serve our purpose----to understand the present legal situation of homeopathy---to begin with a very broadly painted picture of the historical development of Western Society.

Remedy Profiles: A Method of Integrating Classical & Innovation Understandings of Homeopathic Remedies

Mon, Nov 21, 2011

To address the debate in recent years regarding how a practitioner determine the nature and quality of the remedy, the author developed the idea of the remedy profile. The remedy profile provides a holistic, inclusive picture of the remedy taking into account the substance in nature from which the remedy comes, as well as all the variety of understandings that allow us to most fully appreciate the remedy. I developed this method of studying remedies as a way of helping students integrate the many different pieces of information that emerge.

Homeopathy - Its Time is Coming

Sun, Nov 20, 2011

Excerpt: As Bob Dylan said, “The times they are a’changing.” Slowly but surely, a new and deeper kind of awareness and consciousness is spreading across the globe. Once relegated to the “New Age” set or to mystics, more and more people in the mainstream are engaging in meditation and are beginning to develop an awareness that humanity, nature, and the Earth itself are all interconnected on a deeper level. We may be on the cusp of a revolution in human consciousness. And a world populated by more deeply conscious humans will also be a world in which alternative energy-based medicines, like homeopathy, will be the norm.

Healing Humanity with Homeopathy: Homeopathy for Epidemics, Collective Trauma and Endemic Diseases - Harry van der Zee

Mon, Mar 21, 2011

Abstract: Homeopathy has proven to be a potent and effective system for healing individuals because individualizing each case is the essence to its methodology. Homeopathy’s greatest asset, though, appears to be in individualizing treatments for larger totalities, such as epidemic diseases. There are impressive historic examples of such broader applications of homeopathy in the 19th and 20th centuries. This article presents early, pilot explorations of these possibilities in today's world, extending homeopathic interventions to address endemic chronic diseases and collective psychological trauma as well as epidemic diseases. This approach would bring homeopathy into its fuller potentials and would allow use of the Law of Similars on which it is based to bring healing to the present crises produced by humanity that threaten the survival of all living organisms on our planet, and possibly the continued viability of our host planet as a home for life as we know it.

The Attacks on Homeopathy in the UK: Could it happen here? - Carol Boyce

Thu, Jun 18, 2009

It seems no accident that the present threat to the practice of homeopathy began in the UK and in particular at the Royal London Homeopathic Hospital (RLHH). The 150 year- old RLHH provides a touchstone in the world of homeopathy and a reassurance for any potential newcomers to the field, especially in the developing world, that homeopathy is a valid system of medicine.

A History of Provings - Frans Vermeulen

Fri, Dec 01, 2006

What if our classical provings on which most of our knowledge rests were defective? What actually is a classical proving, to which other designations have been given such as full proving and Hahnemannian proving? What is a proving supposed to prove except for recording the reactions of provers, with all the subjectivity and personal, private biases of the prover?

A Conversation between Alastair Gray and Frederik Schroyens

Fri, Dec 01, 2006

Students and homeopaths alike often wonder about our repertories. In each new edition there are thousands of new symptoms and thousands of new remedy entries into existing rubrics: 'How big can they get?' 'Will it ever end?' I asked the writer of the Synthesis repertory, Dr. Frederik Schroyens what he felt.

Bacillinum, a Nosode for the 21st Century - Sadhana Thakkar

Sun, Apr 02, 2006

Bacillinum has been one of the more under-described and under-prescribed homeopathic remedies until recently. Although Farrington and other homeopaths in the past made several references for its efficacy over Tuberculinum, it still remained obscure. In the past few years, having treated many cases successfully with Bacillinum, the clinical presentation of Bacillinum has clearly emerged to me as a distinctly different remedy. Bacillinum is prepared from the macerated lung tissue containing not just bacillus but also lung tissue in all phases including the tubercle phase whereas Tuberculinum is prepared from the glycerin extract of a pure cultivation of tubercular bacillus. Just by the nature of the preparation, one can imagine the difference between the two. While Tuberculinum reflects the perspective of the bacillus, Bacillinum is the manifestation of the intense struggle between the bacillus and the immune response of the host.

Re-visioning Homeopathic Education: The Creation of an American Homeopathic Medical School - Todd Rowe

Re-visioning Homeopathic Education: The Creation of an American Homeopathic Medical School - Todd Rowe

Sat, Apr 01, 2006

The creation of a homeopathic medical school in the United States is a long held dream of the homeopathic community. The Desert Institute School of Classical Homeopathy (DISCH) envisions the creation of a fouryear full time homeopathic medical school in Phoenix, Arizona. This would be an expansion of services from the three-year, part-time program that DISCH currently offers. The name of this new program would be the American Medical College of Homeopathy (AMCH).

The Treatment of Children - Richard Pitt

Sat, Apr 01, 2006

There are a number of factors to be considered when treating children. These considerations have both practical and philosophical implications for wider general practice. Successful treatment of children (and adults) should be prophylactic as well as initially curative. Included is a discussion of what constitutes constitutional prescribing and indications for the most commonly used nosodes in children.
