Hi,

On my website, I am thinking of putting up a global map marking the
support for homeopathy around the globe. The Japanese public has
never heard of homeopathy and don't know that they are out of the
loop. If I can't find a map, I will make one.

I am thinking the important items to mark are:
hospitals,
Schools
insurance private and national
State sponsored certification
pharmacies
Book distributors
Private networks of homeopaths
Can anyone think of other important institutions or indicators of
public use and need? I suppose it is important to think of what
counts as a school etc. But the idea is to produce a visual image
with some level of meaning.

Thanks,
Ellen Madono

That's a great effort How about adding organizations?

Hi,
hope it is not too hard. Organizations. Do you think numbers count?
Numbers of members? I guess I would just have a symbol on the map.
Ok That's a good idea.
Best,
Ellen

I suggest making it simple - just shade the countries that use
homeopathy.
The late Julian Winston has/had a good history of homeopathy
somewhere, maybe someone knows a link?
You could then add the approximate time in history when homeopathy
reached each country, and write "Japan 2009?" in the right spot.

I would then go into a brief explaining what it is and why it is
beneficial, mainly by pictorial examples - animal ones too.
For reason????

I like the map idea but I'd keep it VERy basic as I THINK you only
need a "this is used in lots of places" statement - not a study of
where it is used (to what end?).

Are people going to need to know and contact those?
I'd expect it to be distracting and not towards what you want to
achieve?
I'm not in that country so it is hard to know what I would want to be
told in order to use homeopathy if I was there - but you are and you
will be the local expert - so maybe as a guide go by what YOU needed
to know to be persuaded to use homeopathy?
(If there is no automatic prejudice, then I'd not introduce any
implication of some by the way. It suggests you are defensive and
that automatically implies there is something to be defensive about.
Don't go there......)

Perhaps use the space to explain what drew you to homeopathy - it may
fit their perspective with much more relevance to them?
And will ring true from personal experience?

There's a saying - "Stick to the knitting".
I mean:
Be careful to use what meets the objective - and not to distract with
anything that does not apply there. Only you can decide what
applies....You can get that right better if you define your objective
first, to know where you are headed. If you still feel listing
schools and book distributors etc is needed and that it will be
interesting enough to hold their attention and get them to the part
you really want them to take to heart - to reach that objective, -
you will also know why it is needed and in what priority and context
and detail level.

It's almost like repertorising: First decide what your audience
really needs (the symptoms), and then arrange the website (rubrics)
to match that in a way their interest will be:
* captured -
* and then kept -
* and THEN you can add details that need time to read (MM).

Namaste,
Irene

Hi Irene,
Really great advice. I am getting lost in meaningless detail. I have
Julian Winston's history.
I don't think what drew me to homeopathy is normal. I was drawn by
watching cases following Herrings law. I was drawn by the idea of the
similum. I really liked the application of theory. I think that is
weird among the general public. So I keep wanting to write about
that, but people are going to be drawn by what homeopathy can cure.
You were not meaning to put my own long term goals on the home page.
I tried it and it just does not look like what the general public
wants.
Blessings,
Ellen

Sounds fascinating to me!
I'd put it somewhere - maybe where you introduce those concepts.
Lead up to it then, start with what it can do, then how you were
interested and then how that all works and hangs togegther.
Correct - those are your secret.
It is part of your business plan - not part of the implementation of it.

Namaste,
Irene

Hello Ellen,

many Japanese have heard of and use homeopathy, and many have also trained and set up practice in Japan through training at the Japanese Academy of Homeopathy in Tokyo. Kind regards, Grace
