Hi Jennifer,
You may have noticed, Ratgirl's write-up is just crammed *full* of
inaccuracy, innuendo, slander, and general weirdness. Ranging from
completely inaccurate description of how remedies are made (and that's the
*easy* part!), to describing The Organon as an "occult romance"
(ROTFLLL!!!!!! "Occult romance"???? Did they even *read* the book, even a
tiny little bit????) And oh yeah, remarking that "Positronium" is
responsible for memory of water, and that scientists can't even detect it
("it" presumably meaning the positron, which of course is *quite* detectable
these days, if you've spent your few million dollars on the right tools).
It strikes me as a hodgepodge of "mistakes" that really couldn't have been
innocently made; someone's got an agenda, not to mention an attitude.
Weird, and unfortuante... I've written her to ask what her sources are, but
am not surprised that so far I haven't gotten an answer to that -- the she
did send a note saying that "my [i.e. her] assessment of homeopathy is
historically & scientifically correct, not one inaccuracy, not one
exaggeration. If you find it libelous, sue me [an enchanting idea, as then
they would have to offer "sources", which should be entertaining]. The very
idea that truth is libelous is about as rational as your apparent faith."
And a little bit more, but that was the gist of her answer. Ah well, I see
no point in arguing with someone whose mind is already closed. Sad...
And yes, her usage of the word "occult" has nothing whatever to do with its
use within homeopathy. In homeopathic texts "occult" indeed would usually
refer to blood, and simply mean, as Julian noted, "hidden", not visible.
