What a GREAT article, Joanne! Thanks SO VERY MUCH for posting that one! And to it, all I can say, really, is YES,
EXACTLY! This is all the info. I've had stored in my head for all these years, yet so few ever listen, so I can relate so well to the utter frustration the poor, besotten homeopathic docs go through all the time!
One important thing they didn't mention, though, were the statistics regarding homeopathic vs. allopathic trtmnt. during some of the major worldwide epidemics, such as can be found in this excerpt:
Homeopathic prevention of disease is 200 years old, and has always been an integral part of the practice of homeopathy. Hahnemann, the founder of homeopathy achieved a success rate of 100% in treating 183
typhus patients; at that time typhus was considered incurable.
Scarlet fever was treated and prevented by Hahnemann using the homeopathic remedy Belladonna.
During the European
cholera epidemics of the mid-1800s the death rate was between 54% and 90%, while the rate amongst persons who received homeopathic treatment was between 5% and 16%.
Mortality rate in the 1
918-1920 Influenza (Spanish flu) epidemic in the US was 30%; the rate among those treated homeopathically was 1%.
Regarding flu viruses, this article is very interesting, too:
homeopathy & the flu.
The evidence has been right in front of our eyes for centuries, but none are so blind as they who will not see.
In Canada, they've already begun banning a bunch of homeopathic remedies, too. I shudder to think.....if I have furkids again, HOW IN THE WORLD AM I GOING TO TREAT THEM if this continues?!?!? They're taking away EVERYTHING that they
know darn well works, so that we won't have any recourse or choice. I'd rather be dead, frankly, than end up in their incompetent, narrow-minded, drug-pusher hands. It's always been abundantly clear that to the financial elite, it was ONLY and ALL about the money, not anyone's true welfare.
The insanity runs rampant. Health Canada and the FDA use this twisted, nonsensical argument:
Homeopathic remedies such as "x" are unsafe because "x" is a known poison. We admit there is
no detectable substance "x" IN homeopathic remedies, but we can't allow, basically, WATER, into our health system. End of story, no logical explanation required by US! But we WILL allow unsafe, unproven drugs with mountains of side effects into the market. End of story, no logical explanation required by US!
However, this is also why I believe it's even more important now for everyone to not only fully support such methods, through use thereof and financial remuneration to those who practice these more ancient ways, but also to start learning about how we can heal ourselves through energetic-type methodologies that aren't even dependent upon substances from the earth. Once we do learn these other, quickly emerging ways, there's no way they can be taken away from people because they will be innately part of us, and we will regain the inner power we were always supposed to have had before all that was so suppressed.
AN IMPORTANT NOTE: While I started out this thread about
essences, and it has morphed into a discussion on homeopathy, I have to point out that ESSENCES are NOT homeopathy or homeopathic remedies, even though the principle upon which they work is very similar. But they are NOT individualized or dosed the same way at all. And with essences, you do not necessarily at all need a licensed, well-practiced vet. or doctor of homeopathy to administer them. Additionally, they will not in any way do any harm, or aggravate any condition even if you choose the wrong one, which is also similar to homeopathics, but not exactly the same. Except for some acute cases of illness or injury, with homeopathy, it is generally much wiser and safer to work with a very experienced homeopathic doctor. (the article mentioned a min. of 10 yrs. experience, which is a good general guideline, but our homeo. vet. actually thought 20 yrs. was a much better idea!)
