pc - not again

Now *this* is what I call a non-justifiable personal attack, in the form of
an unrequested prescription based on a very negative view of the (non)
patient! Just about as unprofessional as it gets. The general discussions
re remedies and cases are very valuable, but those cases have been put up
*for * discussion by someone who actively wants help. Sometimes the case is
partial, sometimes full, and the responses have to be evaluated in that
context. Practitioners presenting the cases generally seem to have a certain
amount of respect for their patients - as it should be. This is just an
apalling abuse of the list.
A lot of people genuinely feel that the intellectual basis of the PC
remedies is decidedly dodgy for a variety of reasons - are we all going to
get nasty little case analyses submitted to the list? Having been told I
couldn't possibly be querying the declared manufacturing process of PC
without having a personal grudge I have kept quiet in this latest round -
but to be honest with friends like this I don't know that Peter needs
enemies or grudge holders!

A guess about your case--part of you has felt not as loved or respected as
you want to be by the homeopathic community for your extensive and unique
historical and editorial work. I have watched you seek adoration on this
list--this suggests a feeling of not being adored by the community.
Adoration on this list is palliative of your state, not curative. The
feeling of somehow feeling excluded was undoubtedly exacerbated by the flap
over your editorial which led to the international journal debate over the
evolution of homeopathy around 2000-2001. That editorial was you in your
role of interpretive "cop", a position you have been in since well before
1998 when your CA dx given.
In response to your editorial, your own old friend Dick Moskowitz and a
large group of others publically asked you to resign the editorship of
Homeopathy Today. At some level, that must have
an unrequested prescription based on a very negative view of the (non)
patient! Just about as unprofessional as it gets. The general discussions
