"Homeopathic" nonsense on the Highwire

#1

VENTING ALERT!!!

On today’s Highwire, a very passionate woman started to explain how “homeopathy” works.

Except for one thing: she is COMPLETELY WRONG. On all of it.

She is practicing allopathy while using homeopathic language.

There is no such thing as “homeopathic dextox”. Detox lies within the realm of hygiene, not therapeutics. The only possible exception to this is therapeutic fasting, which is still mostly hygiene. Again, stunning ignorance as to basic definitions.

Yes, there were 100+ schools teaching “homeopathy” in the USA in the 1860s - 1890s, but NONE of them were teaching Hahnemann. I know this because I read the old journals (God forbid!), and the Hahnemannians (Pure Homeopaths) were vitriolic as to the terrible education these physicians were receiving at these colleges. At the time, there were less than 200 copies of the Organon in circulation in the entire USA, let alone the Materia Medica of Hahnemann!!! It is very clear from reading the journals that the admission of members of the allopathic community into the “homeopathc” colleges (starting around the U.S. Civil War) caused the downfall of homeopathy. The Flexner Report and the formation of the AMA were simply the last nail in the coffin.

To give an individual a “homeopathic” remedy made from (insert the name of a vaccine: DTP, MMR, whatever else) to cure autism is not homeopathy because the prescription is NOT based on SYMPTOM SIMILARITY of the PATIENT. It’s based on Hegelian generalisations that ignores the individual person being treated. The technical word for that is ISOPATHY. Now, what she may have done helped that person (it’s entirely possible, I don’t know), but IT IS NOT HOMEOPATHY, SO STOP CALLING IT THAT. Get a real homeopath (like Andre Saine) on TV who has 50+ years of experience working with patients with the most serious forms of diseases in the world, for crying out loud. He’s quite gentle, so she might not even realize that she’d just been eaten for lunch.

This is the nonsense that Hahnemann was fighting against his entire life. And this woman might know that, if she ever BOTHERED TO STUDY HAHNEMANN In the FIRST PLACE.

One more thing: there is no such thing as a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Homeopathy. The college she cites on her CV doesn’t even offer a BSc in Homeopathy! IF some thing should exist, it would be from the same university that Mr. Arday earned his Bachelor’s of Theoretical PhysEd from. And Naturopaths don’t even learn Hahnemann (as I am reminded of nearly every time a meet a Naturopath who has graduated in the last 20 years).

Ask me what I really think!

C’mon @edmontonsockmonkey …tell us what you really think! :rofl: I love it! Feel free to rant any time on this topic - I’m with you on this!

I really can’t tolerate Del Bigtree. In fact, I’m fed up with most of these people who are running these types of blogs and channels. I mean, as if we didn’t get enough of this nonsense when David Wolfe was in vogue (and I fell for that for a while too!)! When I hear things like this, my suspicious mind immediately goes to the notion that Del Bigtree is compromised (and I fully think he is) and he, and others, bring people like this on the show just to dilute the waters. It also leads me to wonder if homeopathy is gaining ground and they start putting people out there to add more confusion.

My colleagues are all saying the same thing: things are really tough. No one wants to spend money on quality care (what’s new?) and the patients we are getting are soooo messed up because of the jabs. The obstacles to cure are becoming almost insurmountable.
I guess the pretenders will make good business because they’re cheap. I just grieve for the destruction to my beloved homeopathy that will be left in their wake.

What was David Wolff’s hustle? He was a living foods guy if I recall correctly. I remember he had a large following but I don’t recall details about his teachings

I’ve used homeopathy but mostly focused on herbs/botanicals which was most of the US pharmacopeia before big pharma. Thevery first United States Pharmacopeia (USP), published on December 15, 1820, was heavily botanical. The majority of its listings were herbs and plant-derived medicines used by both Native Americans and early American physicians—well before the era of synthetic pharmaceuticals

And familiar with medicinal use of essential oils and have used flower essences.

I’d only do a detox with homeopathic with a knowledgeable practitioner. I heard the detox’s can be rough

Like everything our medical system and awareness of novel treatments to diseases is still low IQ America.

I treated my COVID with mostly botanicals with exception of ivermectin and HCQ. I think my friend had to source it from India

I’m monitoring all the infections in the news. Malaria rolling thru Africa. Hanta virus a case of West Nile virus reported in nyc.

We have reached peak antibiotic resistance. Big pharma can’t invent drugs that don’t kill the entire system

I’m already lock and loaded incase we get hit with a surprise.

The war by the U.S. government on invasive plants is a war on cancer killing and severe immune system healing agents

We live in stupid land
