-Caveat Lector-
As it happens, I was talking last night with my sister, whose husband died
last year of lung cancer...or rather of the effects of the chemotherapy
which killed the cancer. He had had his left lung removed; when the autopsy
was done after his death, they discovered that there was no sign of cancer
in his right lung. What killed him? The chemo caused massive bleeding in the
remaining lung.
"Orthodox" medicine is more correctly called "allopathy"--the use of poisons
to affect the functioning of the human body. Most of the time these are
dilute; but--as my sister pointed out--this isn't always the case, as in
chemotherapy for cancer. I can witness to the power of side-effects myself;
as part of treatment for pulmonary sarcoidosis last year, I was put on
long-term high-dose prednisone. After six weeks of the prednisone, I
developed a humongous strep infection in the lining of my lung, which
resulted in my spending three weeks in the hospital, a good bit of that with
a chest tube draining fluid. The total amount of fluid removed from my chest
came to close to a full liter (that's roughly a quart, for the
metrically-challenged). Allopathy, in short, killed my brother-in-law, and
nearly killed me.
As I understand it, what homeopathic medicines do is to enhance the ability
of the human body to heal itself. No, homeopathy doesn't work all the time;
but then neither does allopathy, and homeopathic remedies are much safer
than allopathic ones. Any medicine is inherently dangerous. There are an
awful lot of herbal medicines which you should never use without the close
supervision of a physician. But homeopathic medicines are much safer to use
than their "orthodox" counterparts, because they have far fewer
side-effects. I often use a specific combination of homeopathic remedies for
my arthritis, which relieves pain when NSAIDs (non-steroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs), even very expensive NSAIDs, will not. And with the
homeopathics I don't run the risk of intestinal bleeding, which is always a
risk with NSAIDs.
If you investigate how allopathic medicines work, you will discover that, in
fact, there are some of them that increase in potency the more they are
diluted. (No, I'm not sure which ones...can someone on the list help out
here?) This is widely known throughout the medical and pharmaceutical
communities, but for obvious reasons not well publicized. I suspect that the
real issue in the suppression of homeopathy, and also of herbal medicine, is
that the medical profession is afraid that if it became widely known that
highly effective remedies for common conditions are available, which do not
have the devastating side-effects of so many chemical remedies, the public
which is now paying them so handsomely will decide to check out the contents
of their gardens instead. But THAT is, perhaps, the subject of a new thread.
