Fascinating, I grew up with an MD father who was even then (ca 1950-1960), very sceptical about allopathic medicine, and for us doctors were mostly either homeopaths or anthroposophical doctors as a matter of first choice and allopathic medicine was the last thing to consider.

he would say, if you are stuck at a traffic light with a doctor in your car, he might loan you his hammer to go and knock out the red light, and he would be happy to patch you up (for a fee) after the accident, but he would plead ignorance as to the cause of the accident.

My current view of the matter is that Lifestyle Medicine may be a path to the integration of many healing modalities into the healthcare model, because lifestyle medicine shifts the first responsbility to nutrition and lifestyle, nothing that 85% of all medical expenditure (pre-covid) is on chronic diseases that can be prevented or reversed with nutrition and lifestyle. Once we make that shift towards prevention first, the various treatment modalities come in a different light, and allopathy not in a particularly good one, because it focuses too much on symptoms and assuming that there is a singular cause for every disease (diagnosis). The systems view is more challenging, if all your training is in one cause, one disease, one pill, but it quickly starts making more sense. See a.o. T. Colin Campbell's books Whole and The Future of Nutrition. The major shfit that needs to be accomplished is to move out of the Newtonion model of allopahtic medicine towards an understanding that spirit is first cause and the body only an effect. Here is my own modest contribution to that point: https://www.bernardokastrup.com/2019/09/guest-essay-metaphysical-rubber-meets.html

Thank you Tess and Janey for a wonderful entré into homeopathy. I've been a homeopath for over 30 years and would like to clarify a few points: Homeopathy was first discovered by Samuel Hahnemann who was a 19th century apothecarist. Even though their presenting complaint might improve, he could see that many of his customers became sicker having been prescribed medicaments of the time like lead for diarrhoea and Laudanum, an opiate, for all manner of complaints and has its modern day equivalent in Oxycontin today. So, Hahanemann decided to experiment with substances in his apothacry by testing them on himself. The first of which was Cinchona Bark, a plant that contains quinine, a well known treatment for curing and preventing Malaria. He then evaluated that all the symptoms that were brought on by taking a rather large dose were all the symptoms of Malaria. Hence the first law of homeopathy was born; whatever can cause a characteristic set of symptoms can also cure that same characteristic set of symptoms. However, when he began to prescribe in that way, he noticed that the toxicity in the preparations often outweighed their curative power. He then decided to experiment with smaller and smaller doses until he settled upon the infinitesimals and through observation discovered they still worked but far more gently. Hahnemann put the healing power of infinitesimal amounts of a similar substance to healing on the level of something he termed the Dynamis. His writings on his observations and evaluations were captured in several updated editions of the Organon of Healing which can even be found on Amazon for anyone who is interested. My novel Mesmerised, takes place in Paris in 1863, and is narrated by Dr Paul Gachet, artist, doctor, homeopath, friend and physician to the Impressionists, and at one time subject of the most expensive painting in the world, Portrait of Dr Gachet by Vincent van Gogh. Mesmerised can also be found on Amazon for anyone who is interested.

Thank you so much for this interview. Though I have used and benefited from homeopathy, I still have very little understanding of how it works. So good to understand the energetic component. Janey is right. We are coming into an age when we are ready to embrace energetic remedies. I'd love to tell a story of my cancer journey and I'll try to make it short. I had an aggressive form of breast cancer and was told the best way to treat it was AMA chemo... In order to meet their time line I had to take a drug that pulled white blood cells from my bone marrow so that I could do the chemo every week. One of the side effects might be bone pain. One night I began to experience pain in my hips. I couldn't sit or lie down without pain and it continued to get worse. After calling the On-Call nurse I was told that the only prescription they could give me was oxycodone. I was really afraid because I was already getting nauseous but I went down to the pharmacey to pick it up. As I waited, I called the homeopathic doc I was also seeing and asked if there was a remedy he could prescribe. He said yes. Just go down to you your health food store and get a tube of Boiron eupatorium perfoliatum and take a few pills--but expect it to take awhile to kick in. It is not a pharmaceutical. I did and it did take about 1.5 hours. Suddenly it stopped completely! And it never came back! I was amazed and hope this form of medicine will come back into favor. We all know about the misuse and overuse of oxycodone. Boiron pills are completely safe and I have many other success stories.

Homeopathy was absolutely amazing for my baby girl after she had her obligatory jabs (I'm talking 30 years ago). Subsequent to her jabs as an infant she developed bronchitis, ear infections, asthma. Homeopathy really helped her immune system. I use homeopathy today having identified what works for me in the event of toothache or UTI. When you hit on the right remedy for you, wow. Everything falls into place! Homepathy is so powerful. I'm not a homeopath. I support people with chronic illness and always recommend homeopathy alongside such things as dietary changes, hydration, antioxidants, fruits, veg, safe detoxing protocols (solvants, heavy metals, vaccine adjuvants). I would absolutely love to learn more about the remedies for vaccine injury.

I really hope this is the way we go ... Medicine as we know it has proven to make us and keep us ill... We are all different and don't take the the same meds as everyone else .. Really exciting times ahead .... ❤

So many interesting people with life-saving options. I know someone who, a few days ago, went into the British health system. A horror.

There must be a few safe substances that your guest could have recommended for dealing with vaccine injuries such as for detox, anti-inflammatories, antioxidants etc., especially for those who are unable to pay for individualized care. Notwithstanding the benefits of individualized care, it seemed more like a promotional effort without a genuine contribution

Can I add a note of scepticism? I was given homepathics for hay fever as a kid. They did absolutely nothing. It cannot be said that they didn't work due to lack of belief, as I was about 10, and didn't learn what homeopathy was till at least 10 years later. I recall reading somewhere, that doctors entertain the patient until the body has had time to heal itself. I think there's a lot of truth in this, applicable to many forms of medicine, including allopathic and homeopathic. At least it's very unlikely that homeopathic medicines will poison the patient. So far as I can tell, it doesn't need a monitoring system to look for danger signals and hasn't been implicated in cases of guillain barre, myocarditis, blood clots etc. BTW, I still have hay fever, and the only thing that ever worked is steroid nasal spray. Antihistamines was as efficacious as the homeopathics my mother gave me, but with much worse side effects.

CEASE THERAPY

They have Cease Therapist in many countries. Healing Children with Autism : CEASE THERAPY

¨Dr. Smits discovered in his practice with over 300 cases the foundation of CEASE therapy and came to his hypothisis of what causes autism. In his experience autism is an accumulation of different causes and about 70% is due to vaccines, 25% to toxic medication and other toxic substances, 5% to some diseases. With isotherapy (see below), a form of homeopathy using the causative substances themselves in homeopathic preparation, the toxic imprints can be erased. CEASE Therapy - The treatment of autistic children and even adults has matured through 300 cases taken by Dr. Tinus Smits and is called CEASE Therapy. Step by step all asumed causative factors (vaccines, regular medication, environmental toxic exposures, effects of illness, etc.) are cleared with the homeopathically prepared, that is diluted and potentized substances that were administered prior to the onset of autism. Currently we use the 30C, 200C, 1M and 10M potencies to clear out the energetic field of the patient from the imprint of toxic substances or diseases... CEASE practitioners We currently have over 500 CEASE practitioners around the world. They have all been certified after taking our extensive CEASE training course to assure correct administration of CEASE Therapy.

I agree that a knowledgeable clinician can help people sort through and address their illnesses more quickly. But people should begin to heal themselves with whatever tools may be freely accessible.

I can highly recommend the book A Complete Guide to Homeopathy Co written by Dr Nicola Geddes. I was treated by her some years ago through the Homeopathic Hos3, Glasgow.

DR. OTTO H. WARBURG : Your Body is Acidic. How to Alkalize your Body Naturally (The Truth behind Cancer that You Will Never Hear From Your Doctor)

Dr. Otto H. Warburg gives the best answer for how to alkalize your body naturally by using lemon and baking soda. Dr. Otto H. Warburg was a Nobel Prize winner, famous for his breakthrough in the field of medicine – he managed to find the true cause of cancer. According to Dr. Warburg, oxygen deficiency is the main factor that contributes to emergence of cancer.

This deficiency results in an acidic state in our bodies. In addition, Dr. Warburg discovered that cancer cells are actually anaerobic and can’t live when they are exposed to high amount of oxygen which is one of the characteristics of alkaline state.

Every healthy cell has certain need for oxygen, but cancer cells can survive without oxygen. If you remove 35% of the oxygen from any cell, it will probably turn into a cancerous cell after 2 days.

What we eat and drink on a daily basis determines the proper maintenance of body’s pH levels. The term pH balance is used to describe the balance between alkaline and acid content in every cells and fluid in the human body. Our bodies must find the ideal balance for the pH levels of our blood which is about 7.365 (a little bit alkaline) in order to stay healthy.

However, the typical American diet today includes many acid-supporting and toxic foods including refined grains, processed sugars, GMO etc. Such diet usually results in harmful acidic pH values. pH levels that are not balanced can disrupt the work of cells.

Greatly acidic pH can also result in the occurrence of many different health issues like heart disease, cancer, osteoporosis, diabetes and heartburn. In case your body spends a lot of time in an acidic state, it can speed up the aging process.

According to Robert Young, the majority of health issues come as a result of the acidic state of the body. This state is great for the development and growth of viruses, bad bacteria, parasites and candida. On the other hand, alkaline state counterbalances their activities. So, how to alkalize your body?

By keeping your pH balance intact, you will be able to maintain your health." Read More

Baking Soda – True Enemy of the Pharmaceutical Industry

" Cancer is an acid i.e. lactic acid, which is a waste product of the fungus and mold and lives in environment that has low concentration of oxygen. If we bring high concentration of oxygen molecules to the cancer cells they will die. Everyone will strongly resist the idea that something so simple and cheap such as sodium bicarbonate (Baking Soda) can surpass the most expensive pharmaceutical drugs.

There are compelling evidence that are supporting the multitude of theories that suggest that sodium bicarbonate should be the primary and universal medicament for a wide range of diseases, including diabetes and cancer, also all therapists and medical professionals should include it in the medical treatment."

Your regular reminder that homeopathy is pseudoscience that violates the known laws of physics.

It also doesn’t work according to meta-analysis.

The ongoing promotion of quackery (homeopathy and Wakefield) is both scientifically illiterate and irresponsible.

Dr Lawrie should be ashamed.
