Actually there are many of us here who use other things together with
classical homeopathy (not necessarily at the same time). If one is going to
"mix modalities", it's important to be *very* well grounded in both, to know
what you *expect* from each therapy you presecribe, and to know which
effects are due to which cause.

If there is any uncertainty, then it's important to begin only one new thing
at a time, and watch carefully. (Of course there are some exceptions, e.g.
in a life-threatening infection one might give remedy *and* antibiotic or
etc., stuff like that...)

Dear Tanya,

I wholeheartedly agree with you. Over the past week I have been amazed
at watching the hostility, lack of politeness and the increasing
aggression of one or two male members of the group and an attitude which
seems to be against the very spirit of healing - indeed its intention
seems very destructive and even disturbingly self-destructive. Whilst
spirited and even passionate debate contributes to a lively site, I feel
such rudeness is against the interests of the group's stated intention
to "promote homeopathy and educational benefit of its members" (below).
To me it seems that the site, from an excellent and fascinating basis of
classical homeopathy, inevitably - and for the greater good - covers a
wider field than classical homeopathy and also provides a platform which
gives non-homeopaths and potential clients/patients a view of
homeopathy. Seeing such mailings does not make me want to learn more
about homeopathy - it merely makes me wonder about the mental state of
those posting such mail and it reduces a profound subject to the level
of soap opera.

I no longer look forward to opening mail from the site as an
intellectual exercise and an opportunity to learn and share but with a
feeling of sadness for those under attack.

Dear All:

Don't worry so very much. May be I'm a strange, but a list is a list (with
1000 members, a few friends and a lot of people very ill). To be sad 'cos
there is fight is as live togheter with a tiger and don't figth.

By the way, have you thought the mails could be forged by another person.
P.e. some one take my address and send me a virus. It looks myself sending
myself a bomb (and my Norton cleans my machine every email sended and
received.

Well, pace be with you.

I agree in general. But what was the healing or usefulness in that episode?
Only, IMO, if we learn something from it...

In a way she was more aggressive (short-term, to not long-term), and
certainly more outrageous -- in content, tho not in intent. But she was the
cornered "prey", and he was the hunter! Were the hunt and its venue
appropriate ones? What have we learned from it?

Dear Simon,

Yes, I would entirely agree with the idea of debate being vital to any
subject, especially one needing to define its boundaries and increase
its expertise and public awareness of its potential.

I think the focus on one male and one female having a slanging match is
not quite correct though - looking back through the emails, since I was
invited to join the site, there has been more than just the one episode
with two individuals and I express sadness for all those being unfairly
and distressingly attacked for having opinions (and this includes David
where relevant and my comments about the one or two males if it caused
any distress to either of them - I was not just referring to him!). It
should be possible to have intelligent discussion without it taking the
form of attack, because aggression is bound to lead to many members
feeling unable to voice their views, which is surely against the nature
of this type of site and against the development of ideas and wisdom in
any free society.

When I talk about the "spirit of healing" I refer to the fact that a
site such as this is based upon the wish/intention to learn/share
information about helping people become well. Distressing participants
does not seem to me to be helpful, and goes against the sharing of ideas
and the learning process. (There are more intelligent ways of showing
disagreement with someone's viewpoint.) For instance, this morning I
wanted to reply to Hennie's mail about
epilepsy/cancer/pregnancy/organs/the influence of the brain etc. and
share my information/experience on those subjects but decided I didn't
want to expose myself to arguments or caustic comments on such sensitive
subjects - in other organisations I belong to I would have felt
perfectly happy to do so and would have found the interaction
fascinating and probably very positive. I am guessing I am not alone in
making decisions like that. And that is sad.

Angela

That's very interesting, 'hunter and cornered prey'
Not how I saw it.
That's the point.

What we learn from it is up to each of us every time.

What do we see in any situation, why do we see it that way, why do
others see it differently?
What's going on internally for us individually, that we respond the way
we do?

)) Dang, spoken like a meditator (or whatever)! And I say that with
pleasure. It's so much more interesting and useful an approach than blaming
each other--however seductive *that* may be.

I would still be interested in comments on the starting point of that "event"...... what do those of us who do distant homeopathy find useful or missing, apart from the obious?

Did a phone conversation change anything in the case/prescription made on the basis of a letter/email?

If you use regular mail, do you ask for a hand written letter and use graphological information? has anybody found this type of analysis to be useful or to correlate with remedy selection?

Would you ask a patient to send a tape or videotape from themselves giving you the case or answering a series of questions you sent beforehand?
