Homeopathy: Medicine or Magic .....

Homeopathy: Medicine or Magic (BBC Documentary Video)

****

In the 1990s, BBC showed a marvelous documentary on homeopathy.
It's an honest look at the topic and addresses the claim that it can't work because it's too implausible.
Then, it contrasts the claim with evidence that it does work, including studies performed by a doctor who had attempted to disprove it.

The film was recognized by the British Medical Association as being of such high quality that they gave it their "Medicine in Media" Gold Award, the highest they offer. The naysayers make claims that completely ignore the evidence, rather humorously debunking their own claims to being evidence-based.

Homeopaths would certainly agree that medicine must be evidence-based. This film shows why.

It's just thinking not in molecules, but in energy.

Medicine: in my experience.

I lost 11kg in weight using homeopathic HCG my thread on it (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?3540-Weight-loss-cure-THEY-don-t-want-you-to-know-about...) discusses it.

Sorry I haven't checked out the link above as I don't tend to watch too much BBC stuff, is it good?

I'm watching "Thrive" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oI2LGmZ_EP4) at the moment, well worth a watch.

Hallo C w Sauce. Hope you liked "Thrive". I haven't watched it (yet).

This video is certainly worth watching.
It supports homeopathy's effectiveness and the British Medical Association presented its highest award for the film.

This is giving me hope :)

Much love, Johanna

Meanwhile the Brits are eliminating homeopathy from The British Royal Hospital...go figure.

Back in the '90's I started taking "nothing pills" following the direction of an expert guide, and not expecting any results. The protocol I followed, for anyone interested, was a very thorough diagnostic process, then taking the indicated remedy sublingually without touching, from a dry teaspoon, and avoiding any mint-flavored products (i.e. toothpaste). I had no expectation that this would have any effect and within a few hours, was beginning to experience slightly uncomfortable symptoms. It took me another hour or two to realize that what I was experiencing was exactly what the homeopathic manual had advised I should expect! At which point, as advised, I discontinued the treatment.

My opinion: Medicine.

Not sure whether it is relevant, that would be for someone with a better understanding to detemine, but around the same time I remember working on an article for the Journal of Environmental Engineering in which the authors described the puzzle they encountered when using "super-purified" water. Despite being extremely thoroughly filtered and processed, the experimental results suggested that the water used was contaminated. Further examination confirmed that there was no identifiable contaminant but the problem disappeared when the same experiments were repeated with less thoroughly purified water!

Is that so?
I've read that on 16th September 2010, The Royal London Homeopathic Hospital changed its name to The Royal London Hospital for Integrated Medicine (RLHIM).
Cristal Sumner, Chief Executive of the BHA, said: “There is no change in what goes on day to day at the hospital.  Homeopathy remains a significant part of the services on offer at the hospital and thousands of patients will continue to get homeopathic treatment on the NHS.

Great Thread Heyokah, Thank You.

Let the food be thy medicine, and the medicine be thy food.


The Sloan Kettering (Laetrile B17 Cover-up) Interesting Read Peeps.

Dr. Kanematsu Sugiura
In the 1960s Dr. Kanematsu Sugiura, one of the world’s most widely known and most highly respected cancer research scientists, officially retired from Sloan-Kettering. He continued to carry out cancer research as an emeritus associate. Ten years after his official retirement, officials at Sloan-Kettering asked Dr. Sugiura to begin testing laetrile.

er!

Its to bad you quite the treatment. Because you had such a reaction your guide was on to the right medicine. It takes a lot of education in homeopathy to understand what is going on and hence many people quite before they see the positive results they are seeking and from what you wrote I cannot determine if it was you that lacked the education or your homeopathic prescriber... oh well.

Is that so? Well that is certainly good news. They had to fight tooth and nail to keep homeopathy in the system there with many petitions and pleas from patients. I received many correspondences regarding the battle that ensued. Guess they won! and I guess I assumed that they wouldn't. .... so that is good news. Funny how when you get emails to fight this or that, they never bother to report the outcome when all is said and done.
