New Canadian Pro Homeopathy Website - take a look - leave a comment about how homeopathy worked for you.

Here is a link to an old BBC program showing convincing evidence that homeopathy does indeed work.

This essay’s theme was inspired by a question asked by a child: ‘Why do I get ill?’ The question is very interesting, but has no easy answer. This paper discusses a few possible answers to this difficult question. Through the life of a person, from birth to death, there is a “continuum” in the pathological conditions a person may experience. The body, as a whole, suffers deeply any time there is an acute or a chronic condition that is either maltreated or neglected. Chronic and acute diseases in the medical history of a person constitute a rigidly related chain of immune responses in the form of a real “continuum” that at every point in time indicates the end result of this continuum. The idea promoted here is that suppression of diseases, read more

While it would be wrong to uncritically support “alternative therapies,” there seems to be a much wider problem when it comes to NHS treatments.

The research and marketing of pharmaceuticals is controlled by a small number of huge corporations which spend millions marketing their products and influencing clinical decisions.

In the same way that debates over climate change are distorted by the millions paid by oil and coal corporations to “sceptics,” the science of health care is shaped by self-interested multinationals.

With their monopoly profits, big pharma can spend money manipulating the media and public opinion including the rubbishing of alternatives.

With an agriculture degree from the Royal Agriculture College, Cirencester, and a qualification in homeopathy, it was only natural that Christine Lees should turn her attention to alternative therapy for farm animals.  "I had already done part of a homeopathy course before I went to Cirencester," she says. "And I liked cows. So I put the two together for my dissertation: The role of homeopathy in the treatment of farm animals."

Not everyone has a pet name for their eczema, but actress and TV presenter Nadia Sawalha called hers 'my John rash' after a mild attack was triggered as a 17-year-old after she broke up with her boyfriend.

And as mysteriously as the skin condition arrived, it disappeared. But then, in 2002, at the age of 39 and six months after the birth of her first daughter Maddie with TV producer Mark Adderley, Nadia noticed tiny bumps on the little finger of her left hand.

Known as vesiculation, these bumps are a classic symptom of eczema, as is the erythema or redness that next appeared.

'The bumps began to itch before splitting open and weeping,' she says. 'They quickly spread to the rest of the hand and then to the other one, too. They were red raw. I looked like something from a horror film.'

It does get tedious. Invective after diatribe after vilification. If it’s not me they are attacking then it is anyone else who dares to disagree with their diktats.

Now Professor Edzard Ernst – a leading member of science’s militant tendency – insists on bombarding myself and like-minded colleagues in Pulse, our own journal. Read More

.....The doctor had prescribed hydrocortisone cream and antibiotics. "The cream was so strong I was concerned about putting it on her face. The eczema came back each day ... I didn't want her to be on a steroid cream for ever." When one of Henry's friends suggested homeopathy, she decided to give it a go. Interestingly, her health visitor also recommended it. "The doctor said there was no cure ... she would have to grow out of it. The homeopath said she could be cured," she says.

After two monthly sessions, during which Ruqiyah was given homeopathic pills nearly every day, her eczema cleared up. "Her skin is so soft and smooth," says Henry. "I can't believe the results." With treatments at around £30, Henry wishes it was available on the NHS. "We're not rich at all," she says, "but it is worth it.".....click to read whole article
