Homeopathic Reflections for Year’s End

Last
month I promised to provide a list of studies in this month’s
newsletter. However, I decided that this would be a better way to begin
2019 — with new energy and information. December seems like a better
time to sit back and reflect a bit.

All
of us cannot help noticing that today’s world is facing an increase in
polarities — the yin and yang between growing brightness and ominous
darkness. Various philosophers and historians tell us that increases in
polarity portend that a major shift is coming our way. I talk about this
in my book Active Consciousness.
Personally, I am excited and quite hopeful about these incoming shifts
to our society and the evolving consciousness of humanity.

One
of the polarities we are experiencing affects homeopathy. I alluded to
this in last month’s newsletter. Crackdowns on access to homeopathy and
other alternative health approaches and views are expanding. These
attacks are, ultimately, all fueled by Big Pharma, which many people say
has grown to be even more powerful than the military industrial
complex. The fact that Big Pharma is investing such effort and money
into all of these efforts indicates that they are feeling threatened. It
means that, at some level, they see the writing on the wall and are
getting desperate. This also means that now is not time for us to give up in despair; it’s time to knuckle down and redouble our efforts and enlarge our voices!

Here are some growing signs of darkness and light:

Darkness: The FDA is trying to slowly whittle away our access to homeopathic remedies.

Light: (Excerpted from the National Center for Homeopathy newsletter. The NCH
is the largest homeopathic consumer-based organization in the US) —
“NCH has experienced tremendous growth over the past year; we’ve seen a
283% increase in new individual members, 90% increase in Organizational
membership, 900% increase in lifetime members and new Student
memberships. NCH also experienced a 17.9% increase in new followers on
social media especially related to advocacy efforts by NCH to create
awareness around the draft guidance proposed by the FDA: Drug Products
Labeled as Homeopathic Guidance for FDA Staff and Industry.”

Darkness:
Major outlets of information are beginning to brand alternative medical
views as “fake news” and block them. For example, Pinterest, a major
social media platform with 250 million users, banned The National
Vaccine Information Center (NVIC) and GreenMedInfo for posting natural
health information, including research questioning vaccine safety. This
is an extremely alarming trend. We already know that Wikipedia is a
completely biased and untrustworthy information source on anything
pertaining to alternative medicine, from homeopathy to chiropractic.
(You can read an article I wrote about this all the way back in 2008.) Please do not
support them! Unfortunately, even more important outlets for
disseminating information, like Youtube, Twitter, and Facebook, might
become banned to us.

Light: Many alternative organizations have begun to embrace homeopathy more wholeheartedly! Most notable is the Mercola Newsletter. This is the number one alternative health site on the entire web. They printed a review of my book Impossible Cure and an interview with me back in 2003, after my book first came out. This media was critical in making Impossible Cure
a number one book about homeopathy worldwide. Nevertheless, Dr. Mercola
was not really a big fan of homeopathy at the time. That seems to be
changing now. For example, the Mercola Newsletter has recently been
featuring articles by Dana Ullman, complete with an hour-long video interview with Dr. Mercola himself!

Let’s
face it, the more the crackdowns happen, and the wider their net is
cast — way beyond homeopathy — the more allies homeopathy gains. It’s
an example of intersectionality. We are all being persecuted so we will
all band together. And there is strength in numbers.

In
the end, censorship will fail, especially as the conventional medical
system continues to collapse around us. Information has a way of getting
out. It may only take an epidemic outbreak or the expansion of
antibiotic resistance, along with news that these problems are
effectively addressed by homeopathy, to turn the tide. In fact, it is exactly these kinds of events that can cause a shift to happen! And it’s even secret sauce of homeopathy. A small dose at just the right time and place does the trick!
