Minutus

I think it's myopic of Vithoulkas to argue that articles disrespectful of homeopathy are appearing in mainstream publications because of what is happening within the community of homeopaths. Editorial boards and policies change over time (and it's been about 25 years since Vithoulkas was lionized as the "king of homeopathy" in The Times of London).
To me, it's far more realistic to ask "who benefits?" from articles critical of homeopathy. The answer, obviously, is conventional medicine and the pharmaceutical companies. Who, by the way, don't give a damn about self-reproach within the homeopathic community over why there's this spate of nasty articles. When the articles are not valid in their criticism, when they're patently biased and poorly researched, then I think we have to look to outside causes. What frightens conventional medicine is not that homeopathy is divided in its methods but that it presents a paradigm that invalidates much of what is taught as the "science" of medicine.

Why articles appear against Homoeopathy in newspapers may have many
reasons. But there is no doubt that Homoeopathy is slowly going to
the dogs. Homoeopathy if well understood is so simple, unfortunately,
people, many of whom call themselves classical Homoeopaths and have
thousands of followers dish out such rubbish that would have shocked
Hahnemann had he been alive today.

They even claim whatever nonsense they teach is in accoradance with
the Organon by quoting one line here and one line there and confusing
all those who do not have enough experience in Homoeopathy.

Please do not get fooled - read the Organon carefully and apply its
teachings and you will see ho simple Homoeopathy really is

I think it is extremely clear sighted of George to recognise as many of us do that within the homeopathy communities Hahnemann's methods are either being abused or so far digressed from it is hard to see the homeopathy. And unfortunately even forums like this one that clearly claims to be Hahnemannian suffers those same digressions, aggressively so sometimes, so yes it is rife amongst homeopathy communities around the world.

I 'grew up' with George's teaching and respect him highly and see a drastic downturn in quality practices in those 25 years. There will always be anti homeopathy articles, that remains a challenge for us but for Hahnemannian homeopathy to be down trodden by so called practising homeopaths is a challenge we shouldn't have to deal with.

I do agree with you Dale. The mainstream press is at the service of the corporate powers,
particularly Big Pharma as concerns homeopathy. The press is set up to assault any
protocol or idea that threatens the power of the pharmaceutical corps and their income.
I do think there are even big, more sinister agendas behind the scenes, but we won't go
there now.
