Helpful Homeopathy with Caroline Wilson: Topical Issue- homeopathy and autism

A Homeopathic consultation:

During a Homeopathic consultation, your practitioner will ask many questions to build up a complete picture of your condition, including your past medical history and emotional challenges to understand your individual needs. This consultation does not take the place of a diagnosis from your doctor and I would encourage you to have regular checks on your health with your doctor, not least to measure your progress.

Clients often feel a sense of wellbeing, optimism and relaxation after taking their homeopathic medicines that are usually supplied in sugar tablet form.

The speed with which you feel relief will depend on the condition being treated. Your recovery rate will also depend on the nature and duration of the illness and your individual vitality.

I would welcome the chance to discuss your particular ailments with you, feel free to leave me a comment with your contact details and I will respond as soon as possible. I work from clinics in Hailsham (Bethany House Surgery in Battle Road) and Horam in East Sussex (Horam Natural Therapy Centre 01435 812997).

Making a difference

As the old man walked along the beach at dawn, he noticed a young woman ahead of him picking up starfish and flinging them into the sea. Finally catching up with the woman, he asked her why she was doing this. The answer was that the stranded starfish would die if left until morning.

'But the beach goes on for miles and there are millions of starfish,' he said. 'How can your efforts make any difference?'

The young woman looked at the starfish in her hand and then threw it to safety into the waves. 'It makes a difference to this one!' she said.

They don't want you to know how good homeopathy is!

I am not allowed to tell you how good homeopathy is! And I thought you might want to know why this is.
Homeopathy is a medical therapy that has always attracted opposition, mainly from the vested interests of the Conventional Medical (ConMed) Establishment of the day.

This criticism has never been more strident than it is today. Organisations like 'Sense and Science', which is funded largely by the pharmaceutical drugs industry http://www.senseaboutscience.org.uk/index.php/site/other/130/ is leading the assault. They constantly repeat the mantra, ‘there is no evidence that homeopathy works’, that it is ‘just placebo’. And they continue to do so, regardless of any, and all the evidence presented to them!

The Advertising Standards Agency (ASA) is now supporting this attack on homeopathy. It is working closely with the Nightingale Collaboration, another organisation dedicated to attacking homeopathy (and other CAM therapy) websites. At their behest, the ASA has told homeopathic practitioners that:
homeopaths cannot say that homeopathy ‘heals’ illness
homeopaths cannot say that homeopathy ‘cures’ disease
homeopaths cannot say that homeopathy ‘treats’ conditions
Now, if homeopathy, as a medical therapy, had not been doing these things for over 200 years, there is little doubt that homeopathy would no longer exist!
Yet despite placing websites such as this under threat of prosecution, the ASA has refused to meet with the major Homeopathic organisations to discuss the situation openly and sensibly.

The ASA says that whatever homeopaths do say about homeopathy it has to be supported by ‘good’ evidence. But the ASA seems already to have made up its mind about ‘the evidence for homeopathy’, and has taken a view entirely consistent with the 'anti-homeopathy' stance of the Conventional Medical Establishment. They are on record as saying:

“...to date the ASA has not seen robust scientific evidence to support claims that imply homeopathy is proven for treating any specific health condition”. Faculty of Homeopathy Newsletter April 2011.

The Evidence for Homeopathy
This is arrant nonsense. But it mirrors exactly what 'Sense about Science', their Pharmaceutical Company backers, and the Conventional Medical Establishment, wants you to believe.
However, regardless of this attempt to gag homeopathy, this website is determined to outline the evidence supporting homeopathy, and this comes in three distinct forms.

1. Personal Testimony

The best evidence for the effectiveness and safety of any medical therapy, including homeopathy, is empirical evidence; that is, individual testimony, based on the outcome of those receiving treatment, that is, people who have used homeopathy, and can say: I was ill - I used homeopathy - and I got better (safely).

The ASA is refusing to accept this kind of testimony - even though this is what most, if not all patients are looking for in a medical therapy!
2. The Homeopathic Materia Medica

The Homeopathic Materia Medica (HMM) is a vast body of information, built up by homeopathic practitioners over 200+ years. It concerns the symptom pictures of each homeopathic remedy, and the symptoms of ill-health for which they are used. The HMM is the homeopaths guide to selecting a remedy that will work for an individual patient.

The ASA is not accepting this clinical evidence either!

3. Randomised Controlled Trials
Randomised Controlled Trials (RCTs) are used by the Big Pharmaceutical companies to provide the ‘evidence base’ for its drugs.

This is the type of evidence that the ASA is apparently looking for!

They are looking for this, despite the fact that RCT evidence has demonstrably and consistently failed to prevent the marketing of pharmaceutical drugs that have proved to be ineffective, or dangerous to health, or both. Many of them eventually had to be withdrawn or banned.

In contrast, Homeopathy can say, without contradiction, that it has never had to withdraw a remedy because it was unsafe. This makes any evidence for homeopathy based on RCTs both unnecessary, as well as completely unreliable.

So regardless of the ASA's support for the Conventional Medical Establishment, the purpose of this website is to provide you with access to all the evidence supporting homeopathy. I hope that this will allow you to make up your own mind. It is the evidence that has underpinned the success of homeopathy, for millions of people, throughout the world, for over 200 years.

Clearly, there are people who do not want you to hear
how good homeopathy is!

The Tao of Homeopathy by Ian Watson - good advice on life too!!

Disease is the cure in progress. it is the mechanism by which the body-wisdom asserts itself and communicates its needs. The homeopath understands that disease is never static. it is a dynamic process, always changing from moment to moment.

Healing is also a process, never a singular event. the wise homeopath remains mindful that many things may encourage a return to health and does not imagine her own contribution to be more or less important than anything else.

Healing may appear to follow the taking of a medicine, but the consultation process itself provides an opportunity for a healing relationship. For many, the very decision to seek help is the first crucial step on a long healing journey. A wise homeopath named Burnett was fond of saying that when a ladder is used to climb a height, all of the rungs are equally important.

True healing involves a growth in consciousness, an opening in awareness and a return to oneself.
Everything else is symptom relief.

Cultivating awareness is a lifelong pursuit for all practitioners of the homeopathic art. Becoming aware of another person's state of being is the easier part of the work.

Developing true self-awareness is considerably more demanding.

The practise of Homeopathy holds a mirror up to the homeopath (and the patient). Much of what she sees in others is but her own reflection. If she is not vigilant, she bases her own prescriptions upon her own projections.

Self awareness shows the wise practitioner that she is not seperated from her patients' process, their suffering is her suffering. Her own self healing benefits everyone who consults her.

Knowing this she pays attention to her own process and doesn't allow herself to be carried away in saving others.
