Are you serious?

One minute you're yelling that homeopathy is scientific , next you're
suggesting this?
How is this homeopathy or scientific?

make your mind up!


LOL

OK Thanks- as long as it works for Michele and their house is free of
termites.
termites

a
to follow

I have tried to reply to "Venkat" privately without success, so I'd like to
say thank you for your practical advise.
I presume you mean diluting the neem as 1 part neem to 2 parts kero??
Thank you to all for your comments and advice.I didn't expect so much
discussion.
For the record, I was considering Ars Alb 10 M as an isopathic solution. I
was freaking out. Maybe it's me who needs it.
Thanks again,
Michele.

Chris,
it was never that I needed to 'catch on', it was that you had a
obsolete definition of scientific and I was politely trying to get
you to see that.
But we've had that discussion!

I still find the ideas of getting rid of vermin with homeopathy
hilarious though!


Simon

I don't remember reading in the organon that you can get termites out
of your shed with homeopathy!
LOL!

might there be a hidden aphorism for that one?


C'mon, how can that not be hilarious!:-)

Now to all the students on the list it should be explained that there
is one type of homeopathy for curing humans ( this is the
*scientific* homeopathy) and another for curing sheds of termites, -
getting cats not to poo on your garden - and keeping aphids off your
roses. This is a new frontier homeopathy and it might or might not be
scientific, we haven't decided yet.
In the former you prescribe according to scientific principles, but
not in the latter. Be careful not to confuse the two as you might
find your patients get scared to go into the garden shed!

It's no wonder the scientific community think homeopaths are cookoo!

The problem is still we do not define ourself and we are trying to be
all things to all people. Next thing we know we will have
Homeoastrology... ( might already exist for all I know)

It is only when we get some spine and say this is a medical science
first and foremost that we will gain respect in the eyes of the public-
yes other things are possible but for now this is who we are ... and
this is the face we want to show the public...I am not even talking
about scientific community - even among the general public there is a
lotof confusion about what or who we are...

May be we can be called "Terminators 4" or "ghost busters"

As you say- even among the general public...

Perhaps we should go into competition with Rentokil as the holistic
alternative way to get rid of pesky varmints?
I'll keep an eye out to see if it appears on anyone's leaflets!



Simon

If we view a striving for health as a fight for survival - whatever the
species, whether it be trees, the wood of which goes into making sheds,
termites that feed off that wooden shed, or humans who live in the shed
- then it comes down to survival of the fittest. In the same way
bacteria, viruses and other pathology 'invade' with a view to taking
over and surviving.

We attempt to 'destroy' or re-direct that which threatens to take over
and as homeopaths we do that with our rx. If potentised Formic acid was
the intervening 'dynamic' then why can't you be curious about that as a
possibility? Best wishes, Joy

Did potentised Formic acid work then? - I missed that post

I have no problem with anyone doing anything but when it is referred
to homeopathy or homeopathic, terms which like you and Chris I take
to mean something specific, then it makes a mockery of the term
Simon

Where's the mockery? That a homeopathic remedy worked within the
grander scheme of survival of the fittest? You've lost me. Joy
