There is more than luck to the Irish and to the Homeopaths as well!!!

Easter Monday was April 24, 1916. It was on this day a group of lightly armed Irish citizens seized control of the Dublin Post Office and some other buildings in Dublin and proclaimed Ireland's independence from Great Britain in what came to be known as the Easter Rebellion. Hopelessly outnumbered and out-gunned, these few Irish citizens knew that they could not win but they determined to try even if they paid with their lives. They wanted to show their fellow Irish citizens and the World that they refused to be the subjects of the British.

The British forces overwhelmed the Irish citizens and executed three of their leaders--the educator Padraic Pearse, the socialist labor leader James Connolly and the poet Thomas MacDonagh. Eamon de Valera, the future President of the Irish Republic, was to be executed but instead it was decided to imprison him because he was born in the United States. Another Irish patriot captured and imprisoned was Michael Collins.

It was Michael Collins who led the guerrilla attacks on the British that brought them to the bargaining table and resulted in Collins negotiating a peace with Britain in 1921 that created the Irish Free State but kept Northern Ireland under British control. Collins was slain by his countrymen in the civil war that followed the adoption of the treaty, and this same animosity against the original treaty kept Ireland in turmoil until recently.

A small group of dedicated men and women refused to accept anything but freedom and they won independence-at least for a part of their country.

It is so too with Homeopathy as finally it is beginning to fight the injustices laid upon it by the pharmaceuticals and the medical profession who so unscrupulously try to eradicate all opposition to its harmful medicines and destroy all the alternative medicines in its path. I take encouragement from the Irish on this day to continue my fight to bring homeopathy and the Bach Flower Remedies to the people of the world. The fight is real and the forces for us grow stronger each day. Take heart and heal yourselves gently with my kits.
