Black Balled

Cutting edge, intelligent, rational. A medicine of sound laws of health. Homeopathy is more than one might expect. It is the promise that there is a better way.

Meanwhile, while on modern medicine’s watch for the last half century, we have witnessed countless increases of chronic disease…. autism, heart disease, infertility, cancer, MS , RA, obesity. One day we hear how promising a new drug is, the next we learn it has been removed from the market for having caused worse disease than the one it was intended to address. This is such a common event, that it’s barely given notice in our thoughts anymore.

Weren’t these drugs tested? Apparently not. The American public is the test. We are the lab rats upon whose health is harmed by the drugs of commerce. If any other industry had made such blatant and consistent mistakes, they would have come down on the chopping block long ago. The medical/pharmaceutical cartel have immunity to the wrath of the public. In fact they haven’t even lost credibility.

Well, perhaps until now. Finally, folks are fed up with taking a drug for cholesterol, then a drug to cover up the ill effects of the stating drug, then a drug to make it comfortable enough to take the last drug, then…..STOP! NO MORE!

Enter homeopathy. Homeopathy is a medical discipline that is oft misunderstood. It does not mean home remedies. It does not mean the use of herbs, or vitamins or even nutrition. It is actually a medicine of great repute throughout the world and was well established in the US until the 1940’s. It was a medical format, or specialty, that nestled side by side with modern medicine until the homeopaths became vocal. In fact throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, homeopathic doctors built 100 hospitals and 22 homeopathy medical schools throughout the US.

During that time, the voice of homeopathy was not a concern to conventional doctors until the homeopaths began to make public the foundation upon which homeopathy is built. Once they proclaimed that the cause of modern ills is directly attributable to the use of drugs, it was the beginning of their demise. This was blasphemy. It was high treason. In fact it was cause enough to be blackballed from medicine’s ivory tower.

In the world of modern medicine, symptoms are not only not valued, but are always worthy of elimination. There is no concern for the outcome of having removed them in an unsystematic and often dangerous way.

In contrast, rational medicine states that symptoms are signals that there is something wrong and they exist as an effort to find homeostasis or to adapt. In fact, the word symptom is from the Greek word which means sign or signal. When these signs or outward expressions of what is going on inside are suppressed or eliminated by drugs, we might see a short lived comfort. However, the illness will make another appearance later to prove that resolution is what is needed, not a cover-up; especially not from a drug that causes further illness. In other words, a headache that is suppressed with an analgesic is only disguised. It will likely return because the message still needs to be heard.

We can equate the use of cover-up meds to unplugging the smoke alarm in the kitchen. This will not address the smoke, or worse yet, the fire. The source needs to be tackled, not the end product. In other words, homeopathy stimulates the body’s ability to heal itself by simply matching the stimulus response. Such efforts have been shown in study after study over the last two centuries.

The burning question then becomes: Which paradigm of medicine ought to be black balled? The one that causes illness or the one that doesn’t?
