My point was that WE all need to act, and in particular the homeopathic institutions need to learn to act in concert, on the same broad scale that conventional medicine has. We must learn to become politically savvy and expedient.
It's not a job for one person or individual people to do, acting on their own behalf. Look around you: conventional medicine isn't acting piecemeal against homeopathy, its long established institutions regularly buy media, they buy medical schools and their students, they buy "research", they buy power via lobbyists. They definitely limit our ability to inform or educate our patients, the general public, and even ourselves.
They are definitely acting to ensure they maintain their market and their authority, that's how threatening we are. If we continue to delude ourselves into believing we're occasionally maligned by an errant journalist, we'll never become accepted because we'll always be well suppressed.
