Posted on the Lists.homeolist.com mailing list. Go to http://lists.homeolist.com/mailman/listinfo/homeopathy to subscribe. I find Bernie's monthly compiling of news articles very important and I look
forward to it for the following reasons:
1. It informs me of what homeopaths are doing in other areas and I enjoy
the articles that have comments from patients on their positive experiences.
2. It gives me a barometer reading of the attitude towards homeopathy in the
media. How many articles are more negative than positive and what is their
focus? I feel this is important to know, for instance, given the prolific
activities of the 'skeptic" groups.
3. It feel it is important for me as a homeopath to consider the' larger
totality'--where does homeopathy figure in the national view and the world
view.

In short, the positive articles inspire me, the negative articles remind me
to stand firm and speak out for my profession and the 'larger totality' view
helps me to put it all in perspective.

Thank you to Bernie for providing this!

I am puzzled to find, in these pages the distain for a
liberating and enlightening word: skeptic. I am referring to the
articles by Dana Ullman touting the efficacy of homeopathic
medicine the idea that finding a substance that produces a
symptom and then diluting it into non-existence is an effective
treatment for that symptom

How Scientific Is Modern Medicine Really?

Doctors today commonly assert that they practice "scientific
medicine," and patients think that the medical treatments they
receive are "scientifically proven." However, this ideal is a
dream, not reality, and a clever and profitable marketing ruse,
not fact.

Homeopathy - Is it a safer and effective alternative?

Studies have shown that nearly 45% Britons rely on Homeopathy, a

equal number.

Further dilution of homeopathy offerings

A Scottish university has become the latest institution to scrap
its homeopathy provision after coming under pressure from a
campaigner against pseudoscience courses. Robert Gordon
University, based in Aberdeen, said it had cancelled the
Introduction to Homeopathy module offered by its School of
Nursing and Midwifery because it was attracting too few
students. The course has been running since January 2007.

UK Government Study: Homeopathy Worthless

Late last month, the British Science and Technology Select

South Australian doctors say homeopathic therapy should not be covered by Medicare

Bach Flower, and Herbal techniques for healing.

Homeopathic healing from the disfigurement of acne conglobata

astounding.

Quacks fly in all directions as alternative medicine regulation fails

A plethora of recent news stories have highlighted a growing

Posted on the Lists.homeolist.com mailing list. Go to http://lists.homeolist.com/mailman/listinfo/homeopathy to subscribe. I find Bernie's monthly compiling of news articles very important and I look
forward to it for the following reasons:
1. It informs me of what homeopaths are doing in other areas and I enjoy
the articles that have comments from patients on their positive experiences.
2. It gives me a barometer reading of the attitude towards homeopathy in the
media. How many articles are more negative than positive and what is their
focus? I feel this is important to know, for instance, given the prolific
activities of the 'skeptic" groups.
3. It feel it is important for me as a homeopath to consider the' larger
totality'--where does homeopathy figure in the national view and the world
view.

In short, the positive articles inspire me, the negative articles remind me
to stand firm and speak out for my profession and the 'larger totality' view
helps me to put it all in perspective.

Thank you to Bernie for providing this!

Pratisaad review: Suffers in treatment

If you watch Pratisaad as a self-promotional attempt by Dr
Amarsinha Nikam producer, who has to his credit the only
homeopathic hospital in the city, you would probably find more
faults than merits in it. But change the perspective and you may
even find this real life story engrossing despite the
docudrama-ish treatment.

Homeopathy: A Touch of Glass

In order to use the scientific method to analyze homeo preps, we
first decided that it would be a good idea to see if we could
devise a bio-assay, or test, that could identify homeo preps and
differentiate them from purified water. So we began making homeo
preps in our lab according to the standard method of serial
dilution and "succussion", which is the homeopathic term for
whacking the vials against a solid surface. We made 30C homeo
preps in glass vials and then used the resultant solutions to
test enzyme activity. What we found surprised us.

Posted on the Lists.homeolist.com mailing list. Go to http://lists.homeolist.com/mailman/listinfo/homeopathy to subscribe. I find Bernie's monthly compiling of news articles very important and I look
forward to it for the following reasons:
1. It informs me of what homeopaths are doing in other areas and I enjoy
the articles that have comments from patients on their positive experiences.
2. It gives me a barometer reading of the attitude towards homeopathy in the
media. How many articles are more negative than positive and what is their
focus? I feel this is important to know, for instance, given the prolific
activities of the 'skeptic" groups.
3. It feel it is important for me as a homeopath to consider the' larger
totality'--where does homeopathy figure in the national view and the world
view.

In short, the positive articles inspire me, the negative articles remind me
to stand firm and speak out for my profession and the 'larger totality' view
helps me to put it all in perspective.

Thank you to Bernie for providing this!

Posted on the Lists.homeolist.com mailing list. Go to http://lists.homeolist.com/mailman/listinfo/homeopathy to subscribe. I find Bernie's monthly compiling of news articles very important and I look
forward to it for the following reasons:
1. It informs me of what homeopaths are doing in other areas and I enjoy
the articles that have comments from patients on their positive experiences.
2. It gives me a barometer reading of the attitude towards homeopathy in the
media. How many articles are more negative than positive and what is their
focus? I feel this is important to know, for instance, given the prolific
activities of the 'skeptic" groups.
3. It feel it is important for me as a homeopath to consider the' larger
totality'--where does homeopathy figure in the national view and the world
view.

In short, the positive articles inspire me, the negative articles remind me
to stand firm and speak out for my profession and the 'larger totality' view
helps me to put it all in perspective.

Thank you to Bernie for providing this!

Now, these medical practitioners are certainly entitled to their

Homeopathy for Children

When I met 5-year-old Sandro, he was covered in hives, a
reaction to an antibiotic he had been administered. He was
irritable, uncomfortable, and itchy. While Benadryl , calamine
lotion and oatmeal baths gave temporary relief, they did not
solve the underlying problem: his reaction to the drug. I gave
Sandro Apis mellifica, Apis for short, a great remedy for hives
as well as bee stings, and he recovered completely--without
needing additional medication or suffering side effects.

Homeopathy: A Touch of Glass

In order to use the scientific method to analyze homeo preps, we
first decided that it would be a good idea to see if we could
devise a bio-assay, or test, that could identify homeo preps and
differentiate them from purified water. So we began making homeo
preps in our lab according to the standard method of serial
dilution and "succussion", which is the homeopathic term for
whacking the vials against a solid surface. We made 30C homeo
preps in glass vials and then used the resultant solutions to
test enzyme activity. What we found surprised us.

Posted on the Lists.homeolist.com mailing list. Go to http://lists.homeolist.com/mailman/listinfo/homeopathy to subscribe. I find Bernie's monthly compiling of news articles very important and I look
forward to it for the following reasons:
1. It informs me of what homeopaths are doing in other areas and I enjoy
the articles that have comments from patients on their positive experiences.
2. It gives me a barometer reading of the attitude towards homeopathy in the
media. How many articles are more negative than positive and what is their
focus? I feel this is important to know, for instance, given the prolific
activities of the 'skeptic" groups.
3. It feel it is important for me as a homeopath to consider the' larger
totality'--where does homeopathy figure in the national view and the world
view.

In short, the positive articles inspire me, the negative articles remind me
to stand firm and speak out for my profession and the 'larger totality' view
helps me to put it all in perspective.

Thank you to Bernie for providing this!

How Scientific Is Modern Medicine Really?

Doctors today commonly assert that they practice "scientific

Homeopathy for Children

When I met 5-year-old Sandro, he was covered in hives, a

Homeopathy: A Touch of Glass

In order to use the scientific method to analyze homeo preps, we
first decided that it would be a good idea to see if we could
devise a bio-assay, or test, that could identify homeo preps and
differentiate them from purified water. So we began making homeo
preps in our lab according to the standard method of serial
dilution and "succussion", which is the homeopathic term for
whacking the vials against a solid surface. We made 30C homeo
preps in glass vials and then used the resultant solutions to
test enzyme activity. What we found surprised us.

1. It informs me of what homeopaths are doing in other areas and I enjoy

2. It gives me a barometer reading of the attitude towards homeopathy in the

activities of the 'skeptic" groups.
3. It feel it is important for me as a homeopath to consider the' larger
totality'--where does homeopathy figure in the national view and the world
view.

In short, the positive articles inspire me, the negative articles remind me
to stand firm and speak out for my profession and the 'larger totality' view
helps me to put it all in perspective.

Thank you to Bernie for providing this!

Homeopathy for Children

Homeopathy: A Touch of Glass

In order to use the scientific method to analyze homeo preps, we
first decided that it would be a good idea to see if we could
devise a bio-assay, or test, that could identify homeo preps and
differentiate them from purified water. So we began making homeo
preps in our lab according to the standard method of serial
dilution and "succussion", which is the homeopathic term for
whacking the vials against a solid surface. We made 30C homeo
preps in glass vials and then used the resultant solutions to
test enzyme activity. What we found surprised us.

forward to it for the following reasons:
1. It informs me of what homeopaths are doing in other areas and I enjoy
the articles that have comments from patients on their positive experiences.
2. It gives me a barometer reading of the attitude towards homeopathy in the
media. How many articles are more negative than positive and what is their
focus? I feel this is important to know, for instance, given the prolific
activities of the 'skeptic" groups.
3. It feel it is important for me as a homeopath to consider the' larger
totality'--where does homeopathy figure in the national view and the world
view.

In short, the positive articles inspire me, the negative articles remind me
to stand firm and speak out for my profession and the 'larger totality' view
helps me to put it all in perspective.

Thank you to Bernie for providing this!

Homeopathy for Children

When I met 5-year-old Sandro, he was covered in hives, a
reaction to an antibiotic he had been administered. He was
irritable, uncomfortable, and itchy. While Benadryl , calamine
lotion and oatmeal baths gave temporary relief, they did not
solve the underlying problem: his reaction to the drug. I gave
Sandro Apis mellifica, Apis for short, a great remedy for hives
as well as bee stings, and he recovered completely--without
needing additional medication or suffering side effects.

Homeopathy: A Touch of Glass

In order to use the scientific method to analyze homeo preps, we
first decided that it would be a good idea to see if we could
devise a bio-assay, or test, that could identify homeo preps and
differentiate them from purified water. So we began making homeo
preps in our lab according to the standard method of serial
dilution and "succussion", which is the homeopathic term for
whacking the vials against a solid surface. We made 30C homeo
preps in glass vials and then used the resultant solutions to
test enzyme activity. What we found surprised us.

forward to it for the following reasons:
1. It informs me of what homeopaths are doing in other areas and I enjoy
the articles that have comments from patients on their positive experiences.
2. It gives me a barometer reading of the attitude towards homeopathy in the
media. How many articles are more negative than positive and what is their
focus? I feel this is important to know, for instance, given the prolific
activities of the 'skeptic" groups.
3. It feel it is important for me as a homeopath to consider the' larger
totality'--where does homeopathy figure in the national view and the world
view.

In short, the positive articles inspire me, the negative articles remind me
to stand firm and speak out for my profession and the 'larger totality' view
helps me to put it all in perspective.

Thank you to Bernie for providing this!

How Scientific Is Modern Medicine Really?

Doctors today commonly assert that they practice "scientific

receive are "scientifically proven." However, this ideal is a

In order to use the scientific method to analyze homeo preps, we

preps in our lab according to the standard method of serial

whacking the vials against a solid surface. We made 30C homeo
preps in glass vials and then used the resultant solutions to

forward to it for the following reasons:
1. It informs me of what homeopaths are doing in other areas and I enjoy
the articles that have comments from patients on their positive experiences.
2. It gives me a barometer reading of the attitude towards homeopathy in the
media. How many articles are more negative than positive and what is their
focus? I feel this is important to know, for instance, given the prolific
activities of the 'skeptic" groups.
3. It feel it is important for me as a homeopath to consider the' larger
totality'--where does homeopathy figure in the national view and the world
view.

In short, the positive articles inspire me, the negative articles remind me
to stand firm and speak out for my profession and the 'larger totality' view
helps me to put it all in perspective.

Thank you to Bernie for providing this!
