I'm hoping and praying that if anything good comes out of all this "pandemic" insanity, it will be a waking up of a lot more M.D. doctors that the Big Pharma-defined "a pill for every ill" allopathic model which has served as the foundation of their entire professional education and of regulatory restrictions that seriously restrict their ability to freely practice true medicine is, to say the least, seriously flawed. After having been very nearly killed myself over 11 years ago by what I like to call the "medical-industrial establishment," I fortunately woke up in time to prevent them from finishing the job. I switched over about 10 years ago to using Naturopathic medicine and actually restored my health by removing the functional cause of my heart disease instead of just poisoning myself with artificial chemicals like statins and beta-blockers that are designed to simply suppress symptoms without addressing the underlying cause of disease. Thanks to making that switch, I am a lot healthier today at the age of 72 than I was 30 years ago. Had I remained the patient of well meaning but poorly educated allopathic doctors I almost certainly would be dead by now.

I have personal experience of Homeopathy helping myself and my children many times over the years. The first time was when my son was 2 and was quite ill with tonsilitis. The doctor said he couldn't do anything so I contacted a Homeopath. We carried a very ill child into his office. After a thorough consultation he gave us a remedy for him and after a good sleep he woke up back to his normal self. Both my children have had their eczema cured, my daughter had an abcess on her tooth which kept coming back until we used a homeopathic remedy for it and I have relied on it countless times over the years to improve my health. And yes it works on animals - my friend's horse was so lame that the vet had given up on her. I asked my homeopath for a remedy and he gave it to the horse and the next day the lameness was gone. Now my son who has Crohn's disease and has struggled for years with the inefficacy and side effects of the succession of allopathic drugs which were all he was offered by his gastroenterologist, is better than he has been since his diagnosis 10 years ago, using diet, acupuncture and chinese herbal medicine. I saw my previously very healthy mum and dad deteriorate in front of my eyes once they were put on a cocktail of drugs - my mum for heart disease and my dad for Parkinson's - which he developed a couple of years after being put on statins for no apparent reason. I wish they had woken up in time like Greg, but they had been brought up to trust and revere the medical profession and thought that the doctors knew best. If doctors and alternative practitioners got together to offer integrated care people would be so much healthier. The way homeopaths in particular have been denigrated by the media as 'quacks' has been shameful, and has resulted in me being unable to persuade any of my friends to try it. It is criminal that people should be given only the flawed allopathic model and denied access to try alternatives even when those drugs are not working or produce side effects which are as bad or sometimes worse than the original ailment.
