Minutus

(welcome to pass this on to others)

Greetings all,

A historical and inspiring event took place 10-12 December 2008 in Havana Cuba that I had the honour to attend. There, the Carlos J Finlay Institute under the guidance of its director-general, Dra. Conception Campa Huergo and Dr. Gustavo Bravo and others hosted NOSODES 2008, an International Meeting on Homeoprophilaxis, Homeopathic Immunization and Nosodes against Epidemics.

Homeopaths from Cuba, S America, Canada, Australia, UK, and Kenya (yours truly) made presentations on the wide varieties of successful disease prevention using homeopathy and more specifically, nosodes.

Each presentation was more amazing than the previous. All were very remarkable and notable in the field of research and science. Some of the topics included Childhood Disease Prevention, Homeopathic prophylaxis as an aspect of gov'tal programs, Nosodes Genus Epidemicus and Compexes, Homeoprophylaxis on Agronomy, Homeoprophylaxis on Veternary, Homeoprophylaxis in TB, Homeoprophylaxis in Chagas disease, Homeoprophylaxis in hepatitis, Homeoprophylaxis in Malaria (yours truly, again) and the list of presentations goes on.

(I am sorry for my lack of variety of adjectives for this email - "remarkable", "awesome" and "amazing" will be repeated often because I have no other way to express my opinion of this conference)

Some of the speakers (known to our English speaking homeopaths) were Martine Jourde, Issac Golden (Aus), Kate Birch (Canada), Tony Pincus (Ainsworth, UK), Leo Van Gelder (NL) & Lindsay Hickey (UK). A number of Cuban & SAmerican homeopaths also presented their work. All have done unique work in the field of homeopathy & epidemic disease.

THE PREVENTION OF EPIDEMIC LEPTOSPIROSIS IN CUBA
But none of these remarkable speakers, each presenting their amazing work in disease prevention and use of nosodes could not hold a candle to the historical accomplishment of the Cubans in their presentation of controlling the local endemic-epidemic disease of Leptospirosis.

Now, the Finlay Institute is primarily the Cuban research institute that produces allopathic vaccinations for their country. Since Cuba is outcasted by the USA government, they have come to depend on themselves for the making of medicines, health care programs, etc. And since the Cuba is not under the yoke of the international pharmaceutical juggernaut, they are not held back from adopting homeopathy and other alternative medicines wholeheartedly into their national health programmes. The Finlay director-general herself is very pro-homeopathy (not to mention, besides, a macrobiotic vegetarian).

To put it simply, what they presented is this:

Cuba goes through a yearly cycle of Leptospirosis epidemic, especially after the hurricanes flood the countryside and water pollution reaches its height. (Leptospirosis: infectious disease caused by the spirochaete Leptospira transmitted to humans from rats, giving jaundice and kidney damage. Can cause death)

Annually the population is exposed to the disease, most especially after hurricanes.

Until Aug 2007, the Finlay Institute (a part of the Ministry of Public Health, Cuba) has been distributing its own allopathic Lepto vaccination. August is the height of the hurricane season. Annually, many are left homeless, flooded out and under the stress of disaster situation. There is a sharp rise in the lepto epidemic.

The usual expectacy of infection even with allopathic vaccination would have been around a few thousands, with some deaths included.

Part of the reason for this is that the high cost of vaccination prevents putting but the most at-risk populations (ie children, pregnant women, elderly) on vaccination. The cost of such limited vaccination is about US$3,000.000.

But in Aug 2007, Finlay put approximately 5,000,000 people (yes! 5 million!) in 2 provinces on homoepathic nosode prophylaxis at the cost of about only US$ 200,000.

That figure represents the entire population of the 2 provinces. The prophylaxis consisted of 2 single doses about 2 weeks apart. Included in the dose was the Lepto nosode + some Bach flower remedies to address the mental distress of the disaster situation.

How very amazing it was to watch this presentation being made. Up to the point, the presenters were showing us graph after graph of the usual rise of the epidemic, year after year, even with the use of allopathic vaccination. Each year the graphs would edge higher and higher towards the year-end, reaching up to the thousands of infected.

But this time, within 2 weeks after Aug 2007, the rising lines literally dropped off the chart to ZERO-Ten infections only! Yes. Near-zero infections, zero deaths from leptospirosis after Aug 2007. And in 2008, no deaths, infections less than 10 a month.

HISTORY MADE for Homeopathy
This mass treatment of 5 million people with homeopathy, I don't believe, has been done anywhere else in the world, not even in India, where homeopathy enjoys the shelter of the government.

And the awesome results of going from hundreds of infected to near-zero in the period of a few weeks, also is historical. My jaw dropped as I watched the graphs demonstrate their success.

The Cuban team readily admits that they have not invented anything new as far as homeopathic philosophy or application. They have simply followed what we homeopaths know to work. And since they have no pharmaceutical multi-nationals to stop them, they were able to do it on a massive scale unknown in the history of homeopathy.

What is remarkable is their application to such a large population, and its dramatic success, with full scientific verification. The results are incontrovertible and undeniable even by the most rabid of anti-homeopaths.

=======
I'm eagerly awaiting their formal publication in the medical journals of this remarkable event. I'm sure once these medical results are published, homeopaths will have more "weapons" in our "arsenal" to fight for our existence and for the adoption of homeopathy in national health programmes in industrialized and developing countries.

=======
As a word or two about Dra Heurgo, Dr. Bravo and the rest of the Cuban team. Truly remarkable people. "Concita" as Dra Heurgo is lovingly known by the people of Cuba, is well known and loved as a woman who has done remarkable work to improve the health of the population. I found her to be a remarkable person - untiring, passionate about her work and compassionate in her motivation to serve her fellow human beings.

I should like to nominate her for the Nobel Prize.

Dear Didi,

Thank you for sharing! Wonderful to hear about the work currently being done in Cuba.

When I worked there in 2002 I was convinced that it was the perfect place to produce serious research into the clinical results of homeopathy. Homeopathy is accepted by the govt, there are excellent homeopathic doctors there and as you rightly point out there is no competition from the pharmaceutical companies. Back in 2002 one of the major obstacles was finding a way to have the work published in 'outside' journals, but with the changing political circumstances and a new administration in the White House this should be increasingly easier.

Viva Cuba!

Hi Didi Ananda,

Thank you for this report - it is all you have called it.

Just one remark, which may or may not be of utmost importance.

I take it that the nosodes used were made from scratch in Cuba and
were made from live matter.

As I have posted several times, this is no longer true for most
nosodes made in Europe. Here the original substance - whether pathogen
itself or disease product - has to be autoclaved before further
processing into the potencies - which means that all the ingredients
are dead matter.

There has not been any experience yet as to whether these nosodes work
the way the old ones did nor even whether they work at all (most
homeopaths have been using those they had before and/or got new ones
from Switzerland, where they MAY still be made the old way.) Some
commpanies making the remedies (e. g. in India, England may also still
have original matter on stock and prepare the potencies from it
without autoclaving first - but this is all very uncertain. On
enquiring I did not get any straightforward answers)

So for trying out the Cuban protocols in other countries the nosodes
should be either self-made or gotten from Cuba!!

Regards

Luise

Dear Didi,

Thank you so much for this inspiring report! I can see your enthusiasm, I would be at least as excited had I been to this conference...

I sent this post to all my Homeopathic contacts, which are many. I had to remove the list of your correspondents (you put everyone in the TO: and CC: fields, so all are visible....better put in the BCC field...) and asked people to contact you if they had questions or if they wanted to contribute.

Swamiji Ananda from S. Africa replied right away that he is sending you an email. (Sohum organization). He is a wonderful older guy who runs a clinic (or several clinics) in S. Africa and world=wide. I have all the books that he co=authored with Swami Narayani (Mataji), as well as their remedy cards (Malcolm Rae type), and as you know I have had the Rae remedy maker for a great many years now. I bought the remedy cards from him and the books I bought years ago from India. This system is fantastic and potentially can help you greatly with your clinic work. I hope you like knowing him and that you can augment your activities through his help.

I went through your website again and saw all the interesting products. However, you don’t include ingredients in the various remedy combos. I am wondering why? Do you use Peter Chappell’s products? And if so, how have the results been? I am using some of his physical remedies here and there and also the downloads, but so far I only saw good results with Influenza only. I am patient....

Again, thank you so much for this wonderful report, and wishing you and the entire organization a Happy, Healthy, Productive and Peaceful New Year,

With love

Sara
