Dana Ullman's newest Huffingtonpost article: How the AMA Got Rich & Powerful

Post by Dana Ullman, MPH »

Friends,
To get the AMA's "Seal of Approval" on drugs, drug companies did not have to prove safety or efficacy...they simply had to advertise in every local, regional, or national AMA publication (a clever means of extortion!). The AMA got both rich and powerful. Homeopathy, naturopathy, chiropractic, midwivery & other alternatives didn't lose out due to lack of popularity...they were pushed out by the Big Pharma/Big Medicine!
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dana-ullm ... 03720.html
I’ve uncovered some important “smoking guns” that verify the dastardly deeds the AMA committed. Compelling information!
And please consider making a comment or two at the Huffingtonpost site.

Everyone here, INCLUDING ME, knows what the AMA dirt-bags did to homeopathy. That does not mean that other things did not also happen that harmed homeopathy. I stand by the logic of my reasoning.

I personally cannot risk the money that I will lose if homeopathy does not work for me the next time that I need it, and I believe that my son needs it right now.

Unless there is a homeopath here who is willing to help me for free or who is willing to get paid for results, I will not take the risk of it not working.

Roger

You are unclear! Does your son need homeopathy or your money.
I think colleagues who have read your posts have a good idea what your remedy might be - so I wonder why previous attempts have not given the required result.

Roger, in my opinion, that is just not a sound or moral contractual arrangement - for any sort of human commerce. And it's a bit insulting on your part to go in with that attitude, not to mention its being a potential obstacle to cure. I don't think one could expect to have carpentry, well-digging, chiropractic - any service - performed on that basis.

Much better to do your homework, decide who sounds competent and interesting re your situation, and enter into it without a chip on your shoulder. Perhaps just hanging out here, studying and reading a bit, will give you the confidence and understanding that will facilitate healing. This isn't woo-woo stuff; there's a system, and it actually works, is repeatable, and is a matter of record. I won't recommend anyone, but there are several really good homeopaths who more-or-less specialize in children and the young, so that might be a place to start. If he needs help, try homeopathy. Waiting will not make anything better.

Soroush,
Why is it presumed just ONE remedy needed, which may be a perceived constitutional?
If the constitutional is not antipsoric, it won't lead to a cure of miasmatic inherited chronic diseases.that requires a antipsoric, antimiasmatic intercurrent, etc.
The theory of the chronic miasms is one of the deepest aspects of Homoeopathy and must be well understood if one is to master homoeopathic pathology. Those who emphasize the so-called essences don’t bother to study the miasms. They are inspired by James Kent’s work but they do not realize the important role the miasms played in his practice.
A great deal depends upon a physician’s ability to perceive what constitutes the miasm. If he is dull of perception he will intermingle symptoms that do not belong together. Hahnemann seems to have had the most wonderful perception, he seemed to see at a glance. Hahnemann was skillful in this respect because he was a hard student of Materia Medica and because he proved his Materia Medica daily.
....
Remedies chosen only by the presiding symptoms do not reflect the totality of the signs and symptoms of a miasma. They can suppress and palliate the symptoms because they are not similar to the collective picture of the miasm. To understand the miasma the complete case history must be put into perspective. If the patient truly needs anti-miasmatic treatment the homoeopath will see the characteristic signs and symptoms of the miasma in the history of the patient and their relatives.
The miasms are diseases of common cause and similar symptoms. For this reason, they produce a homogeneous set of characteristics in a greater number of individuals of various constitutions and temperaments. By understanding the collective portrait of the miasma one comes to recognize its signs and symptoms when they are present.
Everyone has been affected by the miasms to some degree but there are some cases that are founded on the miasms. These individuals are only helped when a long-term anti-miasmatic strategy is employed.

Congratulations, Susan, on doing your reading assignment:) However, if Roger were to experience some relief from a smaller remedy, or a nosode, starting by dealing with his mentals and a few salient physical symptoms, he might in fact become a believer, and be encouraged to stick with it long enough to GET to his antipsoric of choice...

Dear Ginny,

It is nice of you to mention carpentry and well-digging. If I were to hire one of those services, I would expect results. If I hire a well-digger, I expect that there will be a hole in the ground. So your thinking is flawed (as is perhaps mine.) With the chiropractor, no one can expect your asthma to go away if you get your back adjusted. It might, and I have personally experienced literally instantaneous results with chiropractic (just as I have to homeopathy, flower remedies, and perhaps a few other healing modalities). But if the chiropractor does his work, we can't withhold payment just because we did not get the results that we are hoping for.

To say that my proposed approach is immoral is way off base. I expect results for money that I pay. My wife is about to buy a car; we expect to actually get the car. We are not going to be paying $11,500 up front and wait around for weeks and weeks wondering if we are ever going to get the car (and eventually we didn't). I did not get the "homeopathic" car. My sister-in-law, whose feet I am not worthy of bowing down to, did not get her "homeopathic" car.

If I were to be blessed suddenly with the power to heal, sort of like Jesus, in my fantasy, I would accept payments only on the results. But presumably I would be getting a 100% hit rate. Homeopathy is sort of miraculous like the the healings of Jesus, using subtle energy, but the hit rate is much lower than 100%.

If you have so much confidence in your homeopathic practice, why would you insist upon payment upfront? Unless you think that I am a crook. My concern here is not with homeopathy. It is with the accuracy and insight of the people doing homeopathy.

I await your thoughtful response.
Respectfully,
Roger Bird

I am a believer. I am just not a believer such that I feel that I can get results often enough to want to risk my money, particularly with my wife looking over my shoulder. It is her money also, and she works way more than 40 hours per week for it.

Roger, I have worked with two previous homeopaths, and the last of them as much as told me that the psoric issues I had would never get any better, and that one pretty much endures them until they kill you. This, after a great deal of progress had been made with this practitioner! It took a couple of astute friends who were practitioners to convince me there was in fact much yet to be done, and who recommended a brilliant and thoughtful practitioner who has come up with remedies of which no one else thought - and they are working! There IS more to do, but our collaboration is fruitful and satisfying. I don't expect a one-remedy cure, and greatly enjoy and appreciate the process.

We expect nothing from conventional doctors, and are not disappointed:) Yet we pay their fees, when they say right out that they cannot cure you but they could try this substance or other to make you feel better, although it might have side effects. Now, this sounds like a huge lapse in logic, no? Yet, a gentle and unassuming homeopathic practitioner tells no lies, makes no promises, sets no time limits, and you stand there daring to be cured and call him a charlatan if he cannot produce "results".

You're right; this is not well-digging. But neither is a fine restaurant, a movie, or even a vacation possessed of some foreseeable outcome. You might say "Well, we'll never go THERE again..." but you don't begrudge the suppliers the money spent, and you don't define that outcome before you pay for it. Like everything else in life, homeopathy is a journey, a learning. However, you are free to play hookey, or tear the pages of the book.

Best,

ginny
