The History of Homeopathy
The History of Homeopathy
Today I was looking at the broad sweep of the history of homeopathy. I notice that there were many intelligent and influential people like Mark Twain and Henry James in the nineteenth century who were big time homeopathy supporters. Now, not so much. In the 19th century, homeopathy was a going concern, it was a force to be reckoned with, in the United States. It is still a force to be reckoned with in India, Brazil and many other countries now. Why is this? Why is it that so many of our homeopathy customers have disappeared?
What happened to all of the homeopathy customers? Yes, you homeopaths here at minutus have customers, perhaps plenty of customers. But homeopathy thrived in the 19th century because the number of successes per 1 million customers was very high. Now, not so much.
The chorus of homeopathy customers/supporters has disappeared in the USA because homeopathy does not work as well in the USA as it does in say India with regard to successes per million customers. Why is this? Simple. It does not work as often for exactly the same reason that it did not work for me recently. I got a remedy that my homeopath, I, and several people here at minutus all agreed was perfect for me: sulfur 200 C. It did nothing to heal me from being an obnoxious and irritable hothead. It did not work (but I still had to pay for it, which could turn a person off from homeopathy.) I like to think that it worked because I believe in homeopathy and know that homeopathy is often spectacular. But in truth, any results I got from that sulfur 200 C would not have propelled me into the ranks of homeopathy customers/supporters/boosters (if I wasn't already there). It did not work because I had a maintaining cause, which was high carbs and wheat. I have fallen off the wagon enough times with regard to high carbs and wheat to know that that is what has caused me to be an irritable and obnoxious hothead for the past 40 or more years.
Multiply dietary maintaining causes by 330 million, and this is why homeopathy is not popular and why the customer base for homeopathy has shrunk to a very few people. Processed foods consumption greatly expanded over the past 120 years and the during the same time frame the homeopathy customer base shrunk. That is what happened, primarily.
Poor diet is the 666 pound gorilla in the room of health care, and it is the primary cause why homeopathy is considered a joke in so much of society. It is why so many people pay good money and get nothing out of it. It is why my sister-in-law paid over $500 and got exactly zip out of homeopathy. It is not that homeopathy is not spectacular and wonderful; it is that there is no and can be no compensation for a poor diet, even homeopathy.
Sincerely,
Roger Bird

Re: The History of Homeopathy
Big Pharma spends BIG Bucks to attack and shit down homeopaths by changing and/or misrepresenting the laws here and coercing prosecution of anyone (licensed or not) for using homeopathy at all anywhere.
My own next court judgement is due by 8 Nov.
Then I wil be back to court for the next round.....
The law here (WA state) now says I can use vet homepathy as long as it is gratuitous help of an animal owner, becasue if money is involved then it is deemed unsafe.
It is hard to make a living with gratuitous help.

You buy the animal from the owner for 1 cent- treat it and then sell it back to the owner at your fee!
All you need is documents to show these transactions.

Re: The History of Homeopathy
Irene, I sympathize with your situation, but I wonder where Big PharmaJerks got all of that money in order to shut down (I like your "shit down") homeopathy. They got it partly because so many people got turned off from homeopathy because they had maintaining causes thanks to the rise of processed foods and bad fertilizers etc. etc. that kept them from being healed, no matter how accurate the homeopathic prescription.

Re: The History of Homeopathy
Actually I think the rise of allopathic versus homeopathy was due to the advances in organic chemistry that allowed Bayer and others to synthesize and patent drugs. That plus the development of antibiotics started to give allopathic docs some muscle. And the financial benefits got the drug companies watering at the mouth and lead to their unethical promotion of allopathic meds to the doctor and public.

Re: The History of Homeopathy
I have heard the pharmaceutical breakthrough theory before, and I am sure that that is part of it. But it does not explain why homeopathy is holding on in other parts of the world were processed foods are not the norm, like Brazil and India.
I thought of this independently this morning at 3:00 A.M. (thanks to a touch of insomnia), so it is possible that you have not heard this idea before. To me, it makes perfect sense. I am positive that my sister-in-law will not be spending another dime on homeopathy for the rest of her life. Homeopathy lives and dies by personal testimonials. If the personal testimonials dry up, then homeopathy goes away.

Re: The History of Homeopathy
It's not personal really - it is an attack on all vet homeopaths as mine is the frst test case to set precedent in vet hom. If I lose, ALL veterinary homeopaths lost.
There are eight companies in cahoots with AVMA to fund it.
It started about 1996 after the publication of facts showing that Americans spend more money on alternatve health than on vets. So it was decided to so a 2 million or billion dollar study (I forget which and do not have the downloads any more) done by Hills Science Diet and Bayer, with the agreement by AVMA that vets (who are coerced to join AVMA) would carry their Hills/Bayer products in return for them doing a study on how to shut down the competition from alternative health.
The conclusion of the study was that thtey needed to change the state laws about veterinary medicine to make it look to legislators that the changes were safety related, but in practice to rewrite the laws and lobby them into action, to exclude any possibility of alternative health folks staying in business.
To this end they came up with a "Model VeterinaryMedicine Practice Act". At this point eight companies became involved, (food and drug companies, again with AVMA agreement to carry ONLY those 8 companies' drugs and foods at vet clinics) in order to cover all the lobbying needed to change laws in fifty separate states.
THe laws have been duly changed into draconian messups. For example they added terms like that an animal has to be seen in a surgery equipped "properly" (defined as with xray equipment, surgery equipment, a proper pharmacy etc etc) .......
Just read the crazy new laws yourself if you want to see.
This way, they decided they can either accuse vets of practicing outside the area of their vet training (hence they just sued a California vet and won becasue he was telling his client how to use homeopahty on her cat) and if someone has no license then they sue you for practicing medicine wihtout a license.
No you are totally wrong - homeopathy is highly desired, and the drug companies and vets are running scared as their inome already HALVED in 1996 and they are (were) under threat of goingout of business and not having money for yachts, fancy homes etc.
Just yesterday a cat owner wrote to me to say she had spent $2200 on "diagnosis". This icluded eplortory surgery on a very ill cat. All they needed was a $100 of blood tests. But the latest approach is to do every teat they can dupe the client into paying for.
The case I am in court for involves no money asked or received by me, (unless you believe the lies the AAG invented) but the first of two vets had already charged over 8 thousand dollars with a wrong diagnosis - followed by a correct diagnosis by a 2nd vet for? more dollars....soon after which the cat died.
I had offered homeopathy help but it was declined. Now I am being called a charlatan, taking advantage of people with a very sick cat and overcarging them and using my computer as a medical device to put the people of WA state at risk by sending an email to CA duplicating my website information on the website in India - except the judge judged that it was in WA, (so that they could say I was practicing medicine in WA) and called it an "undisputed fact". They also called it an "undisputed fact" that I charged several hundred dollars for a remedy (none was offered nor sent - hundreds??? for one remedy??? confusing it with allopathy?).
The point is they had a long list (126 pages) of "undiputed findings of fact" not one of which was true and not one of which had evidence to support it (just the oposite) - every one of them disputed vehemently with good solid evidence that it was untrue. (Dunno why I even mailed any answers, they were ignored.
A real kangaroo court.)
All to stop my "potential" for competing for dollars vets are supposed to have.
But it is NOT that homeopathy has failed - it is that it has been shown to be too good - and to be competition for DOLLARS. Vets and drug companies especially make their bread and butter from vaccines. Homeopaths are quick to undo that trend. That's trillions of dollars at stake per year...... SCARY if your trillions are threatened?
I was supposedly found guilty of making money by treating a cat and sending a very expensive remedy.
Nothing could be further from the truth but the point is they will stomp out homeopaths no matter what the truth is. The pack of lies is all they could invent, I had been super careful not to stick a toe over the stupid line. It does NOT matter - they WILL stop all homeopaths - they do not care how. Truth has no place in it.
Nobody is turned off homeopathy - except 8 companies and AVMA - who dislike the competition
Namaste,
Irene
