Action vs. wait-and-see

[Charlotte Gilruth]

Hi Tanya,

just thought it was interesting that the way we treat patients as
homeopaths, and the way allopaths treat patients could
be taken to be analogous to the essentially Female/ Male divide in
approach to just about everything in life...
where these allopathic guys just want to action everything to get some
instant 'result', to feel as if something is being done.
Even when there is no appropriate action to take (thus the figure of
85-90% of all operations being experimental and the amount of pills
written up) rather than absorb the problems of the case and sit and
think before taking action. There also is a very strongly entrenched
patriarchy within the field of conventional medicine.
Homeopaths definitely take the approach a mother would take to
adjudicate the complexities of a child's playground complaints,
listening, observing and looking for alternative interpretations from
surrounding context before even uttering a word... thinks upon it, then
finally after
weighing everything up gives up her advice/ admonishment. There is no
hurry to reach some goal post and the knock-on effects of results are
considered especially emotional and mental upon the child.This approach
could account for all the ladies practicing and taking up homeopathy...
it's kind of natural to them

p.s. it's like we are re-living the early history ... whereas now
preventative -ectomies are the rage, mass vaccination programs are
creating apathy and damage in the general public, discrediting
alternative practioners is the common sport amongst the established etc.
etc.

Hi Jas,
Great insights.

Dr. Harry Swope, N.D., who conducted my oral exam for CCH, told me he
learned in naturopathy school, "Don't just do something, stand there!"
