Is Homeopathy Bleeding to Death?

Excellent contribution Soroush. In fact I am currently treating a journalist, we will see how it goes. We just need to keep going and going writing letters to all the national newspapers, and get our patients to do the same. I keep repeating to everyone though, we need to keep working from the heart, with good intentions, so that we do not bite into their negative energy - this is so important. I worry about much of what I hear homeopaths saying.
Very interesting on how the discussion on this topic is developing on the politics within the profession, and how we work with each other, or not!!. Could I offer that this also a good thing, perhaps part of the attack from outside is that homeopaths are gently (or not so gently) being pushed towards an imploding process that will help us all to define Homeopathy in the 21st century, who knows? The sadest thing for me is that we are being attacked from the outside at the same time as we are attacking ourselves from within. This is challenging!!!!!
Incidently, I forgot to mention, that unlike the prediction put forward by Dr Bhatia about degree courses in Homeopathy dwindling, in fact the reality is quite the opposite. In the UK, we have just had another BSc course approved and already up and running with the Centre for Homeopathic Education (where I am a case supervisor) and validated by Middlesex University. I have friends who are teachers of Homeopathy at Westminster University, so I know that things are well there too, and many others up in the north of the country. Yes, lets face the reality of the situation, and mobilise ourselves in every positve way possible, but in a measured, non-exagerated way.
I also want to acknowledge here that I am very aware that many homeopaths's practices are operating with reduced numbers of patients, and in no way do I want to devalue their feelings and concerns.
Have a good week, Grace
