trial ever done. THe information is mind-boggling.

This book clearly places Hahnemann within the medical system of the
times in which he lived and explains how his processes were
influenced by the current thought of the time. When I come across a
quote on the web like this:

"Homeopathy was founded by the mystic Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843) in
an era when all sorts of angel beliefs were abroad. His book on
demonic Psora. Hahnemann, the L. Ron Hubbard of his day, claimed that
reading his book was sufficient to frighten away many of the demonic
Psora inhabiting sick peoples' bodies, & he aggressively sold the
book to patients as a "medicine" in & of itself."

I realize how little some people understand the history of medicine
and how homeopathy developed in a logical fashion.

Michael Emmans Dean had done a great service by collecting the data
and masking it accessible in the book. And the Appendicies on the CD
are priceless.

GREAT BOOK!!

The author styles herself "Paghat the Ratgirl" and lives near Puget
Sound. If we're going to diss homeopathy from the secular side, we
might as well diss it from the religious side as well. This page
argues homeopathy is the devil's spawn and should be avoided by all
Christians.
PLEASE! Pay attention to the usage mentioned by E. B. White in his
magnificent "Element of Style."!

What you with to express is that you are *nauseated*.
As E. B. White says, "Don not say 'I am nauseous' unless you are sure
you have that effect on others."

These are the exact words that shocked a evening class of students I was taking when at the last session a born again Christian doctor (MD) said them!!! I let her have her say and then got on with the rest of the session! This was about 2 years ago. I wonder if she had read that book.

Julian,

I'd like to ask a question about the term "Occult" in the context of homeopathy. In reading Dr. Grimmer's book (edited by Dr. Currim) he wrote about Occult aspects of homeopathy, and I kind of assumed it had something to do with blood, but may be mistaken. Can you or anyone else give me a correct translation and definition of this word in this frame of reference?

Shannon,
The quote is from a long, cantankerous letter on Medscape where the guy
berates just about everything in alternative healing, especially ND's. Don't
recall his name--should be easy to find though.

Hi Jennifer,

You may have noticed, Ratgirl's write-up is just crammed *full* of
inaccuracy, innuendo, slander, and general weirdness. Ranging from
completely inaccurate description of how remedies are made (and that's the
*easy* part!), to describing The Organon as an "occult romance"
(ROTFLLL!!!!!! "Occult romance"???? Did they even *read* the book, even a
tiny little bit????) And oh yeah, remarking that "Positronium" is
responsible for memory of water, and that scientists can't even detect it
("it" presumably meaning the positron, which of course is *quite* detectable
these days, if you've spent your few million dollars on the right tools).

It strikes me as a hodgepodge of "mistakes" that really couldn't have been
innocently made; someone's got an agenda, not to mention an attitude.
Weird, and unfortuante... I've written her to ask what her sources are, but
am not surprised that so far I haven't gotten an answer to that -- the she
did send a note saying that "my [i.e. her] assessment of homeopathy is
historically & scientifically correct, not one inaccuracy, not one
exaggeration. If you find it libelous, sue me [an enchanting idea, as then
they would have to offer "sources", which should be entertaining]. The very
idea that truth is libelous is about as rational as your apparent faith."
And a little bit more, but that was the gist of her answer. Ah well, I see
no point in arguing with someone whose mind is already closed. Sad...

And yes, her usage of the word "occult" has nothing whatever to do with its
use within homeopathy. In homeopathic texts "occult" indeed would usually
refer to blood, and simply mean, as Julian noted, "hidden", not visible.
