Minutus

Dear Isali,
What, in that case, is a homeopathic proving? As Dr Roberts stated it is a
deliberate upsetting of the balance of health. A homeopathic remedy is, when
misused, capable of engendering disease. It introduces a foreign energy
field to the organism; when used against an existing mistunement it
resonates in destructive harmony with it. That is how it works, and in fact
that is the only way it could work if one wishes to look at this matter
scientifically.
Yes, naturally I am aware of the energetic nature of the remedy.
Well... there is really nothing magical about it. And to answer the last
point, evidently the aim is not to cause destruction to the organism. That
rather goes without saying. But the aim is most definitely to disable and
cancel out the dynamic mistunement that has set itself up within the host
organism. That is an act of "destructiveness", but only of a therapeutic
kind.

Thank you for your comments.

Greetings George, I reply interspersed within your post.

Dear Isali,

Do you believe that it is due to magic that the Newtonian paradigm is now
outdated?

I feel there is more than a touch of dualism here - you imply that one must
either be a Newtonian reductionist of the allopathic school, or a magus or
wizard. This polarised concept is, in my view, one of the most destructive
things within homeopathy today, and is largely responsible for the insidious
grip that the so-called "new-age" movement, which is neo-religious in
nature, has on our science. Thus we have meditative provings, dream provings
and other such subjective nonsense. If we allow talk of magic to creep into
our work, homeopathy will not last very long as a serious medical science,
and it will lapse into the sorry state of such things as astrology.

Arthur C. Clarke once wrote: "Any sufficiently advanced technology is
indistinguishable from magic". Hence, a television set might seem like magic
to someone that had never seen one and was unaware that they existed.
Similarly, homeopathy might seem like magic to a person who does not
understand it.
I fail to understand in what way my argument can be construed to support the
view that homeopathy is antipathic, if that is what you are trying to say.
