Allergies and what causes dis-ease and disease.

Today I took pictures of my garden as it is Canada Day.  Later I was talking to a woman about Rag Weed which causes allergies and Golden Rod which does not cause allergies but does looks beautiful in the sunlight.
She told me that for years she had allergies every spring and they suddenly went away one year and never came back.  I asked her what happened that made her allergy depart.  She said it was the year she got her divorce.
A  dis-ease causing a disease as so many do.  It is a clean object lesson that many of our chronic ailments are mind driven.

ABUSE


ABUSE is awesome for it creates an environment in the victim: this environment can be antagonistic and/or servile: the antagonistic type may be a fighter feeling he or she can outrun the abuser, and blame themselves when caught and the servile type may serve so as
to not get any punishments.

The abused carries both environments in their memory; flee, blame themselves or be servile. 

This becomes and is then the way the abused life is defined.

The person themselves become self abusing and this demonstrates itself clearly in self blame (low esteem) or perfectionism so the person feels safe. This impedes ones ability to fulfill a useful life. It does not have the energy or bravery to move beyond self safety; Often they will not be able to fulfill themselves for 'abuse of self' rules and every action obeys that rule.

Abuse of the child has a long arm but one can train the mind to look more lovingly at self and in that way move away from self abusing in all its manifestations. Being aware and responding over and over until a new and more fulfilling life can be accomplished.

Mid month of my documentary on bee sting therapy

Today is the 15th and on the first of July I started to document my progress using bee stings to see how my lymphoma would react. I am not up to 490 stings as I began in late May to do the therapy. 20 stings under my arm every other day and 3 in the centre top of my head. Ouch I can say for sure. The tumour has not gone down but the area seems to be changing. I have cut dairy out of my diet. I am taking one or more tablespoons of sauerkraut every day for my digestive system. I am eating some haddock and halibut fresh from the ocean which I buy at the farmers market. It comes by FedX and tastes so good it is hard to believe. I also do a meal of chicken breast every week. This week I added fresh sweet white turnips and more shitake mushrooms. I will be adding some sea weed soon. My diet supports me very well and with the supplements I have the feeling I am healthy but not well due to the cancer. I drink no or very little coffee at all. My major hurdle is my smoking and although I stopped at the beginning of the month I find myself puffing away again for no really good reason. It is that problem which I feel is standing in the way of my healing so I am dealing with it as best I can. Every day at a time.

I won a Challenge to make a Feature Documntary

Went to a movie and saw Ingrid Veninger's I am a good person/I am a bad person. I loved it and when I left the cinema I spoke to her. She recounted her first memory of me. She was running away from the bad guys on camera and tripped but bravely got up and kept running. Finally the director yelled cut. She remembers me standing over her with a bottle of Bach Rescue Remedy asking her if she wanted some. I looked up her site Punk Films and there was this $1000 challenge. Here is the outline that got me one of the five prizes. For many thousands of years mankind has explored one form of medicine or another. It comes as no surprise that there are possible complimentary and alternative treatments to "modern" medicine which merit study. Here is my exploration of 25 years that ends with the use of bee stings in an effort to cure my own cancer. Me, the Bees and Cancer – a documentary feature In 1986, at the age of 52 while working as a 1st Assistant director on feature films, I had the pleasure of being on set with Louis Malle for the feature film, Atlantic City, Norman Jewison on Agnes of God, and I had begun a string of films with David Cronenberg: The Brood, Videodrome, The Dead Zone, and The Fly. I had worked with stars like Sophia Loren, Jeremy Irons, Jane Fonda, Susan Sarandon and Bert Lancaster to name a few. Life was wonderful and full of challenges. I started a TV movie, A Christmas Wife, starring Jason Robarts, Julie Harris and Don Franks. There was only one problem, I had arthritis in my left hand, joints that ached, and my baby finger would not curl up properly. On Agnes of God, I used to go with Jane Fonda to small towns near Guelph and do her video workout program with the local ladies who came to participate. It was fun, but did I ache! Arnica cream brought relief. It helped my arthritic hand for a while, but I knew I would have to do something more serious to get rid of the problem. More by accident than anything else I went to Thompson Homeopathic on Yonge St., just north of Bloor. It’s been there since 1868. They gave me two remedy mixtures, and my arthritis disappeared for almost a decade. That was an epiphany, and my interest in alternate healing techniques began. I started to carry homeopathic books and remedies on film sets. Colleagues on Dead Ringers, Naked Lunch, M Butterfly and series like Friday’s Curse and Pit Pony used the remedies so often and so effectively I became known as “Dr. John”. Over time, I found that the homeopathic remedies were excellent for acute situations. I learned more on every film. For the next 10 years I plied my avocation, and wrote up the case histories and the events that led me to a favorite group of remedies. My question became, how could I tell the world what I had learned? In 2004 I created the Hollywood Survival Kit using remedies I had found most efficient and effective. I began to market this kit to film companies, stars and crews. Jeremy Irons bought the first 10, and Woody Harrelson bought 11. The kit was a bit expensive, so I introduced a Pocket Pack with 5 remedies; a smaller version of my first kit, and a good way to approach the public with an inexpensive way to treat themselves. By 2008 I was raising money and completing business plans to expand my market. Presently, I am designing fiscal and marketing plans to bring these kits to the general market place. In August of 2010 I found a lump the size of two peanuts in my right armpit. I took the normal route: biopsy, CT scan and blood tests. The diagnosis was Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, stage 1. The doctors said it was an early stage, and I could go on working producing the feature film, Hello October; and deal with the cancer after that. We filmed in October, and I had to direct the last week, as the director my best friend Doug Dales became dreadfully ill and hospitalized. He had terminal cancer and he died in little more than a month. In January of 2011, my CT scan and blood tests were almost the same as the first tests. I had lost my best friend and the awareness of my own circumstance became more real. Motivated by my loss and inspired by those who were helped through belief in what I had preached, I took my own "leap of faith". I decided to opt out of Chemo Therapy and Radiation. I had already changed my diet to organic and vegetarian foods. In addition, I was taking supplements including baking soda, magnesium, resveratrol, curcumin and vitamins B, C, D, and E. My August 2011 blood tests showed a slight deterioration and the addition of Epstein Barr Virus, which at first they thought was Aids. Again, the oncologists at Princess Margaret Hospital recommended the standard treatment. Again, I refused. I felt I could succeed with my diet, supplements and homeopathy. In November of 2011 I went to Costa Rica to spend the winter in a hot climate and swim in the ocean. I lived in the mountains about 18km from the Pacific Ocean. For the first months I fared badly, and lost more than 10 lbs. I decided to do more exercise, swimming, hitchhiking and walking between rides up and down the mountain. I was able to gain some weight and strengthen my body. I arrived back in Toronto in mid-April, brown and looking healthy. My spring blood test results were slightly better which gave me hope. My weight was up to 130lbs. My Epstein Barr Virus was still present and this was worrying everyone. I added Vitamin B12 and folic acid to my supplements and took up swimming again to add more strength. At this point my brother, Stephan, who is an apiarist with about 200 hives, suggested I try bee stings to exact a cure. He had already helped a woman survive cancer after the standard treatment of mastectomy with chemo and radiation had failed. I was apprehensive, as were my nutritionist and homeopathic doctor. My brother introduced me to Don Downs who had taught him the art of using sting therapy for ailments like MS and arthritis. Don is a board member of the American Apitherapy Association and a teacher of sting therapy. My advisors remained skeptical, so I set up a conference call between them and Don. The call satisfied my advisors. I began a course of bee stinging every other day. I currently do 20 stings at a time around the lymph node and 2 in the top of my head and aside from the initial pain of the stings I feel ok. I have done about 200 stings so far. I hope by the time I have 500 stings under my belt I should see clinically positive results from my efforts. I would like to make a documentary that chronicles my years exploring alternative remedies and my seemingly radical struggle with the relentless disease: cancer. The Visual Presentation. As I go through my experiences using Apitherapy I will present the healing and learning events of my early career to express a continuity of experimenting with alternative remedies. I will relate through pictures and narration what I have learned from the stars and crew members who showed me, through use, the effectiveness of homeopathic remedies. The film will deal with my experiences using Apitherapy and the use of bee stings to help heal my cancer. I will visit my brother’s honey farm and interview him to better understand the use of bee products for healing. My homeopathic doctor and my supplements advisor will add their wisdom to my case. You will hear and see what I have tried so far. Throughout the film I will be building to a climax of whether I have progressed or not during the filming period. By the end of July I will have stung myself over 500 times and it will be clear to me how I am. My final question will be what to do in the future to continue healing. The good and the bad of me, John Board, will be there too as I work to bring my smoking under control and essentially clean up my own act. It will be the adventure of one man’s search for good health in the world of alternative ways of healing.

My Supper last night



I am so proud of getting in touch with vegetables and juicing. It is so easy but difficult to make taste worthy. I even got to make some humus with my juicer. Great fun and I ate it all.And of course had my vitamins and antioxidants which I do now without thinking. Having cancer is not the most fun in the world but it makes me pay attention to what I am doing in so many ways, It is teaching me about me. Life is good.

I cannot seem to catch my breath
winds blowing hard against my every leaf.
There is not place outside to find a niche.
What should I feel when pummeled toward my death.

Five months ago I rose and saw a great adventure
before my eyes. An energy I love awoken
A goal to reach, a new rider to strut his stuff;
A dear friend, with really such a lively brain.

No easy task I undertook for age and confused temperament :
best just to say both are old and certainly I have a bent.
Some tinged with barbs as hard as barbs can be
but not with malice but with love laid where not all see

Not all saw that and so I grieve far more than most
My health has disappeared and cancers found me tasty
The rider now like me is fighting but far more risky.
The adventure taken back for others to be host.

And that is only part of all that tilts my bowler.
I struggle now to find the path to bring back health.
Years now I know good healing with herbs and homeopathy
That stand out in my mind gainst Chemo and XRay killer.

I listen to the folks I trust and place down all the questions
and sit with doctors who have figures to their benefit.
So I’ve changed my food and take supplements too
And mix up things that look like goo.

My last big chore is to give up the weed.
Addiction is a potent greedy freak
I’m coming close to the devil now
And soon I'll regain my strong know how.

And I sit alone in my dark third floor
With my solitaire and my mind out the door’
I can’t seem to find my feet on the floor
Just a mind caught nowhere and nowhere to go.

It’s the lot of my life to live in between
A mind in the wind with the leaves all akilter
But I try my best to stand up in the storm
I’m not much for quitting. I can take lots more.

Homeopathic use world wide.

I just got this article from HPathy which is the largest Homeopathic magazine in the world. I am surprised how well Homeopathy is doing in the world at present. What is most encouraging is the Pharmaceutical schools and some Medical schools are beginning to teach it and many doctors are embracing it in their practices. Read on
March 15, 2010 by Robert Medhurst



It might be useful for you to know the extent to which homoeopathic medicines are used around the world. Globally, homoeopathy is an extremely popular modality and to reflect this, in 1999 the World Health Organisation (WHO) called for closer incorporation of homoeopathy into “western medical systems”1 and a ranking of the world’s top healing systems (including pharmaceutical drug therapy) carried out in 2003 had homoeopathy second only in popularity to Traditional Chinese Medicine2.

In Germany, 20% of medical practitioners prescribe homoeopathic medicines for their patients 3, 4, 5 and they’re used by 90% of German veterinarians6. It’s interesting that given the fact that homeopathy was originally developed by Dr Samuel Hahnemann in Germany, there isn’t a higher level of use by medical practitioners.

In the UK a study carried out in 1994 found that 10 out of the 16 university pharmacy schools taught homoeopathy as an undergraduate subject and in 1999, 66% of pharmacies sold homoeopathic medicines7, 8, 9 with some particular pharmacy groups such as Boots producing their own range of homoeopathic medicines10 . Still in the UK, there are 5 homoeopathic hospitals run by the British National Health Service (NHS), as well as 2 private homoeopathic hospitals and homoeopathy has been supported by the NHS since it’s inception in 194811, 12. A 1992 study found that 42% of British doctors refer their patients for homoeopathic treatment13 . By 2001 20% of Scottish GPs had been trained in homoeopathy 14 and by 2003, 86% of Scottish GPs surveyed were found to be in favour of homoeopathy 15 . Currently, homoeopathy is the second most popular complementary medicine in the UK 16, 17.

The situation in France is also interesting. Most French pharmacies carry these products18, 19 and in 1999 the French Medical Association called for homeopathy to be included in all medical degree training20. A 1998 study concluded that people using prescribed homoeopathic medicine cost the French government half of that for patients who used pharmaceutical treatments21, 22 .

Around the rest of Europe, 45% of doctors in the Netherlands use homoeopathy (40% of GPs in the Netherlands use homoeopathy23, 85% of Belgian medical practitioners provide homoeopathic treatment for their patients24, 25, 47% of Dutch doctors use homoeopathy26 and in the 10 years to 2002, interest in homoeopathy in Switzerland had risen by 300%27 and homoeopathy is rebatable by most health insurance providers27. In 1997, 37% of Norwegians who were surveyed had visited a homoeopath 28 and homoeopathy is the most frequently used system of veterinary medicine in Norway29.

In Europe generally, a 2003 survey found that 20-25% of all Europeans used homoeopathic medicines30, 31 and homoeopathy was the most frequently used complementary medicine in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway, Italy and Switzerland32. In 1999 The European Parliament called for homoeopathy to be integrated into medical practice33 and the EU recommended that homoeopathy and herbs be used as first line treatments in veterinary medicine34

Pakistan appears to have a high level of interest in homoeopathy. Last year, the Pakistani Government established homoeopathic dispensaries in Pakistani hospitals35 and there are 165 government recognised homoeopathic medicine colleges operating throughout the country36. For the last few years the Pakistan government has set up homoeopathic medicine camps to treat the pilgrims who travel on the Haj to Mecca. Last year, 50,000 people were treated in these camps37. In India, 54% of medical practitioners prescribe homoeopathic medicines38 .They are widely used in Indian hospitals and homoeopathy is the most commonly used complementary medicine in this country39, 40, 41.

In 2003 in Sri Lanka, construction began on a government-funded homoeopathic hospital at Welisara42 and Columbian President, Alvaro Uribe, uses homoeopathic medicines to “stay in mental shape”43. It’s estimated that there are 15,000 homoeopathic doctors practising in Brazil44 and it’s a government requirement that homoeopathy is taught as an undergraduate subject in all pharmacy courses at Brazilian universities45. In the USA, 58% of US medical schools teach homoeopathy46. In Australia, the level of use of these medicines is a little difficult to determine. One relatively recent study said that around 12% of Australians use homoeopathic medicines but this figure has yet to be verified47. However, 78% of pharmacies here carry products made from homoeopathic ingredients and many of the larger pharmacy groups recommend these products as a core range, i.e. it’s mandatory for anyone setting up one of these stores to have them on their shelves 48. In New Zealand49 and South Africa50, homoeopathy forms part of the undergraduate program in pharmacy courses in some universities.

Evolution

The Evolution of ideas and how we got here is only significant to understand where we are. To alter the course is also part of an ongoing evolution. We are past the crossroads of man's dominance on earth and we will adjust downwards as we are able to alter the evolution of ideas that have brought us here. If we do not share appropriately with the earth then it will devour us and starve us to death.

Sad truths and why I advocate change

People sometimes ask me why I am so strong in my opposition to Pharmaceuticals and the AMA and the Governments who support this way of healing. The article below is one reason. They are irresponsible and continue to be so as much as possible to extend their earning powers. I am not prejudiced in this statement but just stating the obvious. What does any Pharmaceutical Company have to gain by not protecting its patients other than money.
When I read that the EU is doing an official investigation as to whether or not the Pharmaceutical companies pushed hard to get the WHO to declare a Pandemic when it is more and more clear that there is none and the hype is still going on perhaps you can see the clear reason for opposition on my part. I wish it were otherwise.
I am not happy about health in any way when the drug companies are rich and the Health Care system is broke and people have no more money. Does this not tell us something about horses and carts. The operative word is make money and patients for life are a good thing for they earn us money. I want to see people really getting well and not reliant on medicines and that is not what is presently here except for those who steer clear of the system.
If Governments stopped being led and started to examine honestly not only what is going on but how else they could care for people I would be happier.
Yes I see it as tragedy for this side of the fence, the side that is about healing, and the fence is high is kept out of the media except to denigrate with campaigns to smear and poison people against Homeopathy. I suppose you would have to follow their campaigns in England to see it in full bloom. It is all supported by the Pharmaceuticals and there is no response to be given for one is given no space in papers or media to respond. Burial is a place full of better ways of healing.clawing at the coffin side trying to be heard. I do not feel good about that.

Thanks to the ongoing demand for truth and change by places like Novus Medical Detox Center there is movement and people are waking up and I encourage all who read this to actively seek safe ways to heal themselves when ill. It is in your interest to do so.

I have just finished a bout of flu or something like that. Nausea, weakness, belching, coming in waves. Anas Barbariae 200C seemed to help as did Carbo Veg 30C which I took for the belshing but the kicker was Eupetorium 30c. My flue had been with me for 5 days and it was not so nice for I could not settle down and get into any living rythm and I was told by Homeopathy who is on his way to Haiti that Eupetorium 30c is called for with this illness. One pill last night and today the peanut butter and honey tasted good on the toast and the apple,orange,lime,celery,bannana,ginger,honey,cinnimon juice I squeezed was so good.

Be well,


Pain Management and Opioid Overdose
By Steve Hayes, Novus Medical Detox Center Director

MYTH-OPIOID OVERDOSES ONLY HAPPEN IF YOU ABUSE OPIOIDS

In February of 2009, the FDA announced that they were going to require Risk Evaluation Mitigation Strategies to be applied to dangerous prescription opioids like:

OxyContin
Oxycodone
Vicodin
Hydrocodone
Endocet
Fentanyl Patch
Percocet
Lorcet
Lortab

The FDA still seems to believe that there is something "dirty" about people who die from drug overdoses. They seem to have bought into the idea that these people did something wrong that caused the fatal overdose.

This explains why some at the FDA were happy to invite to testify at the REMS hearing a psychiatrist who acted like a paid stooge for the narcotic drug dealers. He said that the only people who overdose on these opioids were people who abused them and did not take the drugs as prescribed.

FACT-OPIOID OVERDOSES HAPPEN IF YOU TAKE OPIOIDS AS PRESCRIBED

One of the people with me, Ed Vanicky, was there because he lost his wife to an overdose of these narcotics and she was taking the drugs exactly as prescribed.

There are countless numbers of other reported incidents of this happening.

Many of the overdoses were not fatal and the patients were able to be saved, but they did go into respiratory failure and would have died without prompt medical attention.

PROOF-OPIOID OVERDOSES HAPPEN IF YOU TAKE OPIOIDS AS PRESCRIBED

At last, the medical community has conducted a study that confirms what those of us who speak with people on opioids have known-you can die from an overdose even if you take the prescription drugs as prescribed.

Few would argue that there is a place for these narcotic drugs that act in the same way as anesthesia to block pain if someone has cancer or other terminal disease. No one wants to deny them the right to end their lives as comfortable as possible.

That is why this study is so important-it concentrated on non-cancer or end of life people receiv­ing opioids.

The 4th World War-The Corporations versus Mankind

This morning I read in the New York TImes and it is news everywhere that the Supreme Court of the United States has overturned the law restricting Corporation spending: that the government may not ban political spending by corporations in candidate elections. Citing the First Amendment as support for this action it places a corporation in the same category as an individual. America the bastion of freedom and equality has lost a major battle for now Corporations is equated with an individual and can freely wield its money to the side that supports them.

It is a terrible loss for now what has been going on behind our backs but with at least some recourse in law will be openly done with no recourse. This, in the clear evidence that Corporations are not people but businesses with the sole first purpose of earning profit for its owners. How many cases against Corporations are in the courts that are challenging the destruction of the world we live in and the people who live in it?

Starting with the Banks and its rape of ordinary citizens, the Chemical companies that are destroying the earth , the Pharmaceutical that are poisoning the people of the earth, we and the earth are at war to survive. It is not global warming or cooling that is the enemy of our survival but Greed. This began centuries ago, since man has been able to write history we know this, and it is now coming to fruition. Like all religions we are being eaten from inside by Greed for both wealth and power over man.

Greed causes destruction and is firmly set throgh the porfit motive in the Corporation and the Executives who run them; innocent patsies beholden to pieces of paper that they willingly obey: Poisoning the world, themselves and their own children's minds and bodies to satisfy the Corporate weal. The war is in full swing around the world.

We, each and every one of us are the enemy of the corporation and we are being chopped down to manageable no different than the forest in Brazil by unbridled Greed. We are brainwashed to accept our fate as what must be.

We are losing the war right now for even though there are pockets of resistance we are yet to take our destinies back from our enemy the Corporation with its unending money to have its bidding done. So far the Corporation has won every battle by every group to bring sanity back to our lives. The Corporation is amoral and in that it is immoral. It does not judge itself except by its monitary growth and all others measures are of no real interest save to support their prime directive.

It is not enough for individuals to rail, for small groups to rail or even for governments to rail unless we all rail together and deny the Corporation its current place of power by taking away its profits. Margaret Mead said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful people can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."

We have a small group and it is called Mankind and we have a way of talking to each other and joining forces to battle and that is the Internet. We have to be openly subversive until as a mass we crush our enemy. It is a final passive resistance that is the only way to win.

We have to put down our own personal greed and turn a deaf ear to the brainwashing of the Corporations. We have to put down our fears and embrace modesty as a proper way of being and know that sharing will bring us back to family, friends and community. In respecting all we respect ourselves.

Do we have the strength left to fight this final battle? We cannot know unless we gird our loins and take up the cry. The world is one and devided we die.

The Swine Flu vaccine is perhaps the first time people have wond a battle. We have seen massive scare tactics by the Governments, WHO and the Pharmas FAIL because we refused the brainwashing. Many countries, no matter how the "Pandemic" was hyped, found its citizens and its own medical fraternity opting out of what was a planned media campaign. Nature itself was our ally.

We have a chance if we all come together. We can win the 4th World War.

Act Modest, think Bold, do your part help the world come together.

2010 Magic Numbers

Magic is a personal decision and so 2010 is officially magic in my lexicon of numbers. Sounds good doesn't it. Sort of foolish but then what we cannot know we can believe what we want. I can believe what I want.

Is it truer if more people believe it? Not if we cannot know. And yet the human over the centuries has created his belief systems mostly based on what he cannot know. Vast empires of religions have risen and fallen or lie stagnant waiting for a shriveling up and all are based on what we cannot know.

There is lots than we can know. Humans have the capacity to experience and learn from observation. We can store information and have learned to store it even into electronic space so we can gain experience even without experiencing things directly. Thus over time through experiences we can directly learn and know.

I have been one to learn mostly by experiencing first hand. It is only later in my life that words and what they mean have come more to the fore of my mind. My real experiences in life through film making, healing and teaching get me to this point of real confidence in the reality of what I can know.

What I cannot know is of use as well. As I get older I get both more controlled and wilder in my creativity at every level. I explore my curiosity continually for it challenges me at every turn.

I meditate. It helps me stay in charge of my mind more Slowly the wild child is settling down to perform the more serious work of the person I am. The healer, helper and motivator; the artist, creator and activist.

Medicine Evidence and what is it.

This is a submission to the official inquiry by British Government through the Science and Technology with regards to Homeopathy and other alternative healing techniques and if they should be part of their system of medicine.

This submission is an interesting history of testing and what has happened to its basic concepts.

Sir Wiliam Osler to the rescue.

I was in a heated debate with an eminent doctor about Homeopathy and I sent him a quote by Sir William Osler. Here it is.

THE GREATER THE IGNORANCE THE GREATER THE DOGMATISM.
DR. WILLIAM OSLER, CHAUVINISM IN MEDICINE 1902

The doctor's answer was as follows.
"Funny you should quote Osler to me. He was one of Medicine's first scientifically oriented clinicians basing his ideas on observation research and the brilliant pathological studies of Rudolph Virkow.
He knew that homeopathy was bunk and said so along with comments about phrenology etc. ..."

I looked up Sue Young's site http://homeopathy.wildfalcon.com/ The site has histories of all the famous men who used Homeopathy or said something about it. It is surprising the famous people who used and spoke well of Homeopathy. Press search and enjoy... Below is what I found for William Osler to refute the eminent doctor's prejudicial and blind response to my first quote from Osler's book Chauvenism and Medicine 1909

William Osler 1849 – 1919

William Osler, Time Online - “Founder Hahnemann was given his historic due by no less a personage than Sir William Osler. “No individual,” said Dr. Osler, “has done more good to the medical profession than Samuel Hahnemann.”

Harvey Cushing The Life of William Osler P. 171

“His belief that over-treatment with drugs was one of the medical errors of the day has been hinted at, and it was always one of his favorite axioms that no one individual had done more good to the medical profession than Hahnemann, whose therapeutic methods had demonstrated that the natural tendency of diseases was toward recovery, provided that the patient was decently cared for, properly nurses, and not over-dosed.”

Hans J Eysenck on William Osler

“It is more important to know what kind of person has a disease than what kind of disease a person has”

William Osler A Concise History of Medicine

“One notable example is typhoid fever. At the outset of the nineteenth century it was treated with ‘remedies’ of the extremest violence–bleeding and blistering, vomiting and purging, and the administration of antimony and mercury, and plenty of other heroic remedies.

“Now the patient is bathed and nursed and carefully tended, but rarely given medicine. This is the result partly of the remarkable experiments of the Paris and Vienna schools in the action of drugs, which have shaken the stoutest faiths; and partly of the constant and reproachful object lesson of homeopathy.

“No regular physician would ever admit that the homeopathic preparations, ‘infinitesimals,’ could do any good as direct curative agents; and yet it was perfectly certain that homeopaths lost no more of their patients than others. There was but one conclusion to draw– that most drugs had no effect whatever on the diseases for which they were administered.”

William Osler

“It is not as if our homeopathic brothers are asleep; far from it, they are awake (many of them at any rate) to the importance of the scientific study of disease.

“It is distressing that so many good men live isolated in a measure from the great body of the profession. The grievous mistake was ours: to quarrel with our brothers over infinitesimals was a most unwise and stupid thing to do.” and “Our homeopathic brothers pursue very seriously the scientific study of disease.”

William Osler

“Variability is the law of life, and as no two faces are the same, so no two bodies are alike, and no two individuals react alike and behave alike under the abnormal conditions which we know as disease.”�

William Osler

“The greater the ignorance the greater the dogmatism.”

William Osler

“All scientific truth is conditioned by the state of knowledge at the time of its announcement.”

William Osler

“I fear that we may return to the state of polypharmacy, the emancipation from which has been the sole gift of Hahnemann and his followers….”

William Osler

“But, fortunately for medicine, some hundred and fifty years ago Hahnemann appeared…”

Dr. Osler not only recognized Homeopathy and Hahneman, he recognized the hate that ignorance could generate. I find that this kind of blind hate is still alive; this inordinate resistance to honest investigation.

I also find that there is a growing community who are using and examining Homeopathy and it includes many doctors, scientists, artist and everyday folk. Homeopathy is the medicine of the 21st Century.

Now have to band together to stop Pharmaceuticals from weakening our immune systems and harming our emotions and minds with the medicines they sell that have debilitating side effects.

A worthwhile talk by two doctors re flu and vaccines

So often one gets reports without substantial statistical backup and one is left wondering what is going on with regards to flu and vaccines. Here at last is a measured response that is clear and supported in its findings and its responses.

The way we die!!!

I find it unpleasant to write a title like that for I am just another person here on earth and how do I know how we die anymore than the rest of us do.

Once upon a time in Germany in the late 1700s about 1790 the medical profession was not doing very well getting people better. Leaches, bloodletting, purges and a plethora of mystical personal systems were the medical rages.

Samuel Hahnemann came along with a system that did not injure or invade the systems of the patient with harmful medicines.

He came up with the logical idea that the body was strong on its own and dis-ease and disease could be alleviated by pushing the core of the system, the immune system to do its work and not by killing or suppressing any symptoms at all. Hahnemann discovered Homeopathy as a way to heal.

Homeopathy is a different way of thinking. It is safe, efficient at healing, and best of all for the people it is very cheap. Much of it can be practiced at home for acute situations and I as a person in 2009, 210 years later can say this is true. My personal experiences of over 20 years and my experience in helping thousands of just ordinary people deciding what to take to heal has been positive more than 90% of the time.

Here we are now 210 years later and the tally can be taken; in health, in cost of service, in effectiveness and in the damage to people through side effects, addiction, malpractice, and worst of all massive cost of drugs and vaccines needed to sustain this erroneous idea of healing.

The medical profession and its partners the pharmaceutical companies of the world are our executioners. This does not mean that medicine has not done some great good and found ways to help dysfunctional people. This is about normal every day health we all supposedly start with at birth.

It has never been different and Hahemann’s statement that “he pitied the patients who came to see him for it seemed his medical training for he was a doctor only gave him ways of destroying the patient”, sparked him to research and look for other answers.

Out of this dissatisfaction with the medical paradigm Homeopathy was created.

Homeopathy has been constantly attacked and debunked by the medical/pharma fraternity since it first appeared.

The pharmaceutical industry attacks hardest and it always has from the beginning. Homeopathic remedies were minute so they could not charge for it by weight. It took time to make and a clean lab: they would lose money. It did not matter that the people got better.

It is the same today. Once a patient caught in the medical paradigm and you are a patient for life. The pharmaceuticals are determined to make this a fact and through their control of WHO and every government they can control this is happening.

Vaccines are a key to this. Trumpeted as the answer to the fight against nature everyone is slowly being forced into taking them or being ostracized like the herbalists in the 15th century were, called witches and burned when possible.

The Governments of the world are for the most part setting laws up that will limit our choices of healing systems. All other Governments are being pushed as hard as possible into this paradigm.

Forced vaccines are how in the end we will die. Antibiotics are how we will die. Bad nutrition through genetically altered foods that have not enough nutrients is how we will be weakened.

Laws against selling the very nutrient supplements lacking in our genetically modified foods adds to this weakening of the human.

By grace, good fortune and the many healers who are doctors of Homeopathy we can see their record over the time since Hahnemann began in 1800. Even today we can examine very well run hospitals, clinics, private practices and patients in India and several European countries and North and South America. Millions are helped every year.

Injury to the person through addiction and side effects does not exist in Homeopathy and death through malpractice is rare. In all plagues and epidemics Homeopathy has been much more effective than medicines. Do the research and be amazed. It is true.

Even I, an everyday person, can attest to the efficacy of Anas Barbariae 200C as a flu remedy and have seen my own eyes it successfully used on film sets to fight flu hundreds of times. This is true wherever my kits are used. It is a fact. Boiron even did an empirical testing to satisfy the FDA that testing like other drugs finds the remedy effective.

Put the systems side by side and count the dollars the medical and pharmaceutical companies are costing the world. Count the deaths through malpractice and mis-dosing.
Count the hospital deaths due to errors. It is huge. Add to that the cost of vaccines and the state of stress and fear encouraged and created in people around the world. All this is created and we poor humans have fallen for the bait. Not only that once in the system always in the system, stung for life.

Homeopathy beats Medicine in a heartbeat when it comes to keeping people well.
The medical credo is clear “At first do no harm”. Homeopathy obeys that first rule.
Medicine has co-opted a word associated with war “Collateral damage”. We all think this is just those poor folk that fell prey to medicines and got ill for life or died, but in fact we are all falling prey to medicines. We are all victims, each and every one of us.

So it is easy to see how we will die individually and as a species. Perhaps some will survive as mutants to rise again to despoil the paradise we inhabit and the gift of life we have been given, much like the viruses who mutate and make our antibiotics useless and our vaccines not today’s cup of tea.

The blind are faithful to their lack of sight.

HOW TO DIE?

Every 15 years the New York Times columnist THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN tell us that “we will add 1 billion people to the earth.” Who is kidding whom?

Will we die along with the depleted land from the chemicals used to make enough corn, wheat, rice and soy beans to sustain us? Will we die of the toxic chemicals put into our bodies at the control of the world pharmaceutical companies? The United States soon make rotovirus and influenza vaccinations mandatory. They already do with many of the infant and childhood vaccines. We have a right to ask our governments to rethink their actions. We have a responsibility to question the direction our world is taking.

The immune system that is a central part of all of us is the master guardian of the entity human. The immune system is being breached and weakened with every Pharmaceutical that enters it. Think about this for a second. Every vaccine you have taken has breached your core system and taken away some of the immune system's choices thereby limiting future possibilities of core actions to keep your entire system in balance. [use scientific terms and data like platelet count, T-cells, etc. How do we understand the immune system?]

Using Agent Orange, Roundup or future chemicals intended to annihilate insects and weeds create succeeding generations of those pests with genetic modifications to resist the insecticides. Unintended death to needed vegetation and reproductive flowers occur at a massive level. Pesticides have no brain, they kill everything in its path. It will kill us too. If you watch the news you will know it is killing the bee population of the world, a key partner to our own survival because bees pollinate our plants.

Fertilizers devastate our crops and supporting soil and deplete the nutrients held within the soil. Genetically modified [GM] crop lands can change the make-up of the diversity of our natural vegetation and create sterilization of seeds.

We are being hurled like a rush of lemmings over the cliff of extinction.

Most people, especially younger people, laugh and say you only live once when asked to think about MAN as going the way of the dodo. They shield themselves in a protective place called denial, where logical realization and its consequences become overwhelming. Taking a close look at actual repercussions of our past actions tell the story. The flu vaccine promoted by the US Government in the 1976 Swine Flu season resulted in a woman who needed leg braces to walk and neurological damage. The forced vaccination of babies and kids will suffer untold damage and destroy family lives. We take our chances that our own damage will be minimal and some of us will get through life without a problem and for more and more there are real palpable negative results.

Forced vaccination damages human life in unseen ways. Antibiotics take away parts of our immune systems. We are all compromised internally by this.


The rest of the Pharmaceutical Pandora's box of anti-depressants, sleeping pills, arthritis medications etc. play an ongoing role in our demise. The problem of addiction to some medicines is just the most overt fallout of the side effects created and newsworthy. Lack of focus and negative emotional states can strike even the modest users and are endured as the price of relief.

So to all of us alive now, we have to ask, how can we stay alive and protect our immune systems so we will be healthy till we die? Good health is a matter of personal choice and appropriate action. I hope enough of us speak out loud enough to force governments to turn around and create laws that will benefit the health and wellbeing of it’s citizens. It is a necessary and important step in protecting ourselves. Speak out with your pen and your voice!
