homeopathy list or no?

[Rachel]

with some trepidation i would like to offer that the number of non-homeopathy messages on this so-called homeopathy list is getting so oppressive it is driving some of us to leave. i'm not leaving myself but i do wish we could talk about homeopathy.

[Irene de Villiers]

Nutrition and the ability to determine what is needed in that regard is PART of homeopathy.
NO remedy can provide one iota of any missing nutrient, and NO healing can occur when a necessary nutrient is absent.
So I recommend those who think they are immune to a need for such knowledge to be decent homeopaths,
please rethink that notion.

Hahnemann stated it as imperative to get nutrition right for healing.
List members here wanted to know how to get healthy, and hopefully nobody excised their delete key for posts in which they have no interest.
Nor is anyone stopping them from posting a more remedy related post if they are gettig withdrawal symptoms:-)
Namaste,
Irene

Dear Rachel,

Even in a "pure" homeopathy course where I pay a lot of money to learn more about homeopathy, there is plenty of talk about nutrition. Less about supplementation, but some. Exercise, other forms of therapy.... It is hard to be interested in health and not be interested in everything.

Still I understand your concern. If you are trying to learn homeopathy and you a newcomer, then just the fundamentals of homeopathy are a headful. You want to turn off everything else while you catch your balance. Been there, done that. It is necessary for a while.

I suggest that we label topics that are not homeopathy something like "not homeo" That way, you can skip those topics.

This may sound rude, but I look at names when I choose to read a post. I always try to read Irene's comments about everything because she know a lot that I don't. I don't always agree with her or even share all her interests. But, there is a high chance that I will be interested. I don't discriminate homeo or not. Other people, I do discriminate. The topic tells me if they are talking about homeopathy or just ranting. I don't have endless time. By now (more than 13 years), I know who is knowledgable. So, I skip to the chase and look for those names who have ideas and information that usually interests me.

Also, over all these years, because we talk about things that are tangential to homeopathy, I know people on the list in a way that I don't know many people who I see everyday. That's a plus to me.

Best,
Ellen

Hi Ellen,
Maybe a lot of talk about nutrition, but hopefully for the money you are paying, a lot more about homeopathy. I think that is the point being made.

Ever since I have been reading minutus, this has been an issue that recurs.

My feeling is that when someone does not like the OT talk, they should take the responsibility to offer other
topics instead of complaining about other people. This is the way conversations go in real life.

The question is, to me, why there is so much interest in OT topics and why people tend to pull away from talking
homeopathy.

I haven't been following very much currently (lack of time, not lack of interest), but there's been a recurrent request for just what Ellen suggests: "I suggest that we label topics that are not homeopathy something like "not homeo" That way, you can skip those topics."
What we had agreed on, and which is *occasionally* being followed, is that an off-topic post has a subject line beginning with "OT-". Of course that only works to the extent that people are (cough) changing the subject line, as the subject changes! It's a challenge…
Rachel, I suggest two things. One is to "have patience" because topics do come and go. And the other is to "speak up" (as you have done!) -- and ask questions, re-direct, give the conversation different "seeds" to crystallize around.

Surely no one here is pulling away from talking homeopathy -- but most of the people reading and writing much here, have been doing so for quite a while. Some of the topics that would be interesting and helpful to those who are coming here to learn, are ones that conversation could easily be re-directed to, but not so apt to come up in chatting amongst ourselves.

[Rachel]

it's not that i need homeopathic chatter all the time, so it's not a matter of me bringing up a new topic just to get a new conversation going. it's a general complaint that i spend minutes each day just clicking and deleting all the emails from threads i know are off topic. not that they're not interesting to me, but i just don't have time. it seems many people have time to talk on and on about everything. if i were running the list, i would keep it more strictly on homeopathy, and i would suppress the rest. but, i'm not running the list, and i'm not leaving either, because what i do get out of this list, i value. so, carry on!! i will endure

I agree 101%. We are not living in Hahnemann's times or even Kent's time. We are awash in a tsunami of artificial foods, over processed foods, instantaneous gratification, laziness, automobiles, pollution, lousy health advice, pharmaceutical drugs, shallow thinking, apathy, etc. etc. etc. We simply cannot think that maintaining causes are here or there, an occasional issue that homeopaths have to deal with. We live in an ocean of maintaining causes, from too much television to Skittles to the chocolate cake sitting on my counter for my wife's birthday which is calling my name. (But it already hurt me, so I am deaf to it's calls.) (:->)
