Homeopathy under attack

Well, let us presume our entire craft is nothing but hokus pokus Placebo Effect.  

So, we can give at least about 50% cure to dying children of the Third World with AIDS from at least trying to tend to them with more attention and care than some allopathic twit will do in passing out a packet of free drug samples that Gimpy's pals would probably just love to do in that market.     The people are obviously seeking out help;  Help that is not given by the allopaths and First Worlder; for there's no money in cleaning up the poor -- just stringing them out like crackheads, crackbabies, and slaves who can be further exploited.

Go back to dining with your nazi friends, Gimpy!!  You all suck!!!  Nothing but a bunch of SS  concubines that will surely burn in Hell.    That's okay, though.   Evil always has a way of sewing widespread resentment, hatred, and rabid masses seeking revolution as a direct function of its growth, spread, and tyrannical way.  You'll see someday when a new, global, French Revolution is chopping off your elitist head while they all urinate upon your grave for centuries to come.   Nobody remembers well all these trivial, nobody nazis in history.  All just dog st souls in the world they be. 

Wake up, Gimpy!   Take the side of human Life.   In the name of Christ and Mary, I exorcise your demons and pray for the conversion of your lost soul, you filthy concubine of the Devil!!!!  

Crux Sancti Patris Benedicti!  Crux Sacra Sit Mihi Lux.  Nunquan Draco Sit Mihi Dux.  Vade Retro Satana.  Nunquan Saude Mihi Vana.  Sunt Mala Que Libas.   Ipse Venana Bibas!!!!!!!

...Choke on it!!!!

New York Times Exposes Vitamin D Testing Fraud
Are you one of the hundreds of thousands of people who have received inaccurate vitamin D test results from one of the largest lab testing facilities in the world?

Hey gimpy
note the wording in this line

New York Times Exposes Vitamin D Testing Fraud

fraud is what?
ethical pharmaboys, huh?

shut up or put up.

The African situation – or for that matter the rest of the third world – is a prime example of criminal intent, when we discover that drugs well past their use-by-date or banned because of terrible side effects are available on the street corner from some-one who has no clue about their powers or indications and sells as much as he can. Meanwhile the Africans are told that ‘from the West comes the best’ and they gobble those terrible fungi in ever larger quantities, while the industry cynics rub their hands at the enormous profits they rake in, by legally – or even illegally if it suits the pur-pose – poisoning the public everywhere.
Of course the industry can say that they imported the drugs before that use-by-date and it will probably be true – two days before is after all before, is it not? So they have the excuse they did not sell it too late on purpose with deliberate intent. Yet they are responsible for the irresponsible sale by the ignorant who prescribe it to other ignorant people in much larger quantities than necessary.
Here is an excerpt from a letter published in the BMJ.
A lead letter in the British Medical Journal (324: 1034; 27 April 2002) com-mented:

“HIV has gained the biggest foothold in poor countries with rising unemployment and declining health and educational services. Over the past 20 years the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund have conducted a massive social experi-ment in poor African countries. It is called structural adjustment…Africa urgently needs a realistic evaluation of the continuing effects of debt and neo-liberal economic prescriptions on the health of its people.”
Deadly Silence or Screaming Outrage
The long-term side effects are not even known. The fact that Aids was seen as a ‘new disease’ from the start has hindered proper assessment. ‘New diseases’ require a probable and possible cause, which was rather quickly announced by someone who was in search of a new career, having failed in the previous one. From then on, the entire Industry has been chasing this chimera and anyone questioning it is con-demned as promoting unsafe sex, exposing people unnecessarily to grave risks and other distortions of the meaning of the critique and the dissidence.
Study of medical records – when in existence – could have taught them every-thing they needed to know, but apparently none of the learned brethren was and is astute enough to consider the eminently logical. Imagine, they might find out they al-ways had it wrong – both concerning antibiotics and their long-term side effects and concerning the cause of this scourge. While the second might be palatable – not likely in the present climate – the first option will be considered not only highly doubt-ful, but downright ridiculously impossible. Therefore, we expect nothing but silence, while we hope for outrage. By having proposed such an outrageous explanation – as we predicted we would in the preface – we have called upon the orthodox in their turn to be completely outraged at the very proposition. By challenging the very foun-dations of their entire system, we have almost guaranteed a reaction to come.

There is a caveat for their reaction, however. For the louder the critique, the greater their acceptance and/or the possibility we are right. To even react is already a direct admission of the possibility, which of course must immediately be denied. This has a few consequences they may not have foreseen. The first is of course that the entire system breaks down, simply because its foundation has been demolished. The second is that insurance companies will refuse to pay for disease that are caused by drugs – which means they will no longer pay for half the cases, unless you pay a hefty rise in premium.
It may even come to the collapse of the entire sickness insurance industry. The Medical-Pharmaceutical Industrial Empire will be hit hardest – their stocks could plummet and many may go bankrupt. Massive lay-offs could ensue, with the unem-ployed protesting for Government interference. Chaos could ensue, with riots in the streets. The doctors will no longer be trusted – giving drugs to people that cause Aids will not inspire any trust.
So-called alternative doctors will be swamped and many do not have the skills to treat the very serious cases, like cancer, rheumatism and Aids, because they have always been forbidden to treat them. They have not had the chance to develop those skills, with a few exceptions. Hospitals may close, especially the private ones, be-cause they no longer receive support.

On the other hand, we know from strikes in the Sickness Industry that the health of people improves by a massive 90% during a six-month strike, so we do not have to be all too pessimistic. Apparently our designation as a detrimental medical service is quite adequate and to the point. For it is also common knowledge – or it should be so – that 70% of all operations are not necessary, but are performed because the student-surgeons ‘must learn how to cut’. Hence the upsurge in health when the hospitals close.
Moreover, if they can afford to strike, they can afford to loose their jobs. Most doctors are heavily over-paid, while being little more than pen- and pill-pushers. Those that work in hospitals as surgeons are simply over-paid plumbers and me-chanics, who can afford to loose their jobs more than any of the others. With their knowledge they should be able to immediately find re-employment with plumbers and garages – albeit against lesser pay. While this is in no way to disparage their good-will and dedication, their ‘services’ have proven to be ill-founded and detrimental to your health. Against such results – which they could have discovered themselves, if so dedicated – the excuse of ignorance counts for as little as for the Germans who stood trial in Nuremberg.
All this notwithstanding, we expect silence to be prevalent. There may be an in-vestigator who is inspired by this account to find out for himself if the thesis in these pages is correct. We predict he will come to the same conclusion. Who denies these findings of massive consumption of antibiotics and their consequent long-term ef-fects, is not worth his scientific salt, as we have remarked several times. Denial is simply tantamount to intellectual dishonesty and nothing less.
Dumping Practices
Yet, massive dumping of antibiotics in Africa does take place, either of those drugs forbidden here due to their side effects, those past the use-by-date or those having to be tested on humans for the first time. This results in genocidal effects and draws the attention to the suspicion it might be deli-berate.
Deliberate it is, but for a different reason. Those antibiotics were not made for nothing and they want at least their invested money back. Hence they seek to find a place where this can be done without too many repercussions. Most, if not all countries in Europe, have laws in place that forbid such dumping and in the third world these laws may also exist, but the governments are often corrupt.
Africa is almost the very logical place to implement their dumping plans. They also find convenient the ease with which the rules can be flouted. There may be laws in place, but the body to enforce these laws is conveniently lacking. Because the rest of the Third World does not yet get as many antibiotics as Africa, the suspicion is not entirely without grounds either. After all, the African continent is full of all the re-sources the West would want to maintain its artificial living standards.
Removal of the population by artificial disease is easier to hide than plain military genocide. It is also made easier acceptable if they are made the victims of some deadly germ. We can then turn on the ‘compassion-tap’ and patronise them about their supposed lack of morals and social responsibility, to assuage our own guilt. However, genocide is not proven and war is much more efficient at killing large amounts of people in a short period. A pretext for war is easily fabricated, if recent history is anything to go by. Iraq is a prime example, where sanctions killed a million in ten years, without firing a shot and the subsequent war did the same in less than half the time.
Meanwhile, the attention has been not so skilfully deflected from the real issues and the real cause, which goes on unabated.
Nonetheless, cynical people are found in all strata of the population – the Medi-cal-Pharmaceutical Industrial Empire is no exception. We can easily conceive of a cynic, or even a whole group of them, who will consider it a convenient clean up. A reduction in the over-population of the planet – as claimed by some, but denied by others – is only convenient. Pity they happen to be Africans, who bear the brunt of this population reduction, which is not so great as we are led to believe.
Having said that, we do not mean to reduce the devastation wrecked in Africa by diseases in general, but to draw attention to the fact that misdiagnosis is rife in Africa – possibly more so than in the West, because there are more ‘Aids-defining’ condi-tions, it is claimed. This is of course simply an excuse for lousy testing, because a Hiv test is among the most difficult to perform and several tests are needed to get a mere semblance of an objective result. Therefore, we both question the numbers of correct tests and we question the numbers died from Aids. After all, numbers can be manipulated to represent what you want to have represented. The WHO is very good at manipulating the numbers, for they simply state that they are estimates. Estimates can always be adjusted up or down, according to the demands of the situation – not necessarily the local situation, but the situation the WHO itself desires to present.
Some question the motives of the WHO and UNAIDS; not without reason, it seems. There have been some UN scandals, involving food for oil in Iraq and there is more critique on the organisation. There are voices that opine it is but a tool for colo-nialism and empire and the impression is also not without grounds. Some declare the WHO and UNAIDS to be but mouth-pieces for the Medical-Pharmaceutical Industrial Empire and fronts for drug pushing. We consider them spreaders and disseminators of detrimental medical services.
What Goods Are Dumped
Dumping is:
    • Selling goods banned elsewhere.
    For example: Exporting TRIS-treated children’s’ nightwear after TRIS was found to be carcinogenic in the US.
    • Selling goods casually which are highly restricted and controlled elsewhere.
    For example: Prescription-only drugs sold on marketplace stalls in Indonesia.
    • Selling goods in an environment for which they haven’t been designed and in conditions which came make them unsafe.
    For example: Baby foods promoted where water to dilute the powder is dirty, where illiterate parents cannot read the instructions and families are too poor to af-ford enough formula for regular and adequate feeds.
    • Transferring polluting industries and/or unsafe manufacturing processes to countries where unions are weak and governments acquiescent and officials corrup-tible.
    For example: Asbestos manufacture in South East Asia.

Chemical products - beware!
Pesticides, drugs and industrial chemicals are all chemical products. Because of their toxicity, they are amongst the most dangerous products that can be offloaded onto unprotected consumers.
The temptation to dump chemical products in the Third World is high because:
• There are few or no controls over testing or registration of imports.
• There are few or no obligations to print appropriate warnings or advice on the labels.
• There are few or no restrictions of supply, which might ensure responsible con-trol through safe outlets.
The risks are greater because those working with the chemicals in the Third World are less aware of the dangerous consequences of spilling, breathing, handling or ingesting the products.

Fact Of Life 1
The export of chemical products from rich countries to the Third World rose from $5 billion in 1970 to $24 billion by 1978, an increase of 480%.
(Source: UNCTAD Handbook of International Trade and Development Statistics 1987)
The dumping of pharmaceuticals in the Third World can occur because:
• Dangerous drugs are available without prescription from untrained pharmacy staff.
• Drug labels, package inserts and adverts to doctors sometimes give no warn-ings on side-effects, optimal dosages vary.
• Often there are no shelf-life restrictions.
• Little or no testing is done on drug imports.
• Drugs withdrawn in the West are often available.
• Most causes of death go unrecorded. Sources of illness are difficult to find. So drug-induced problems are impossible to trace.

Fact Of Life 2
During the 1970s drug sales in the Third World increased by 20% p.a.
(Source: UNCTC Transnational Corporations and the Medical-Pharmaceutical Industrial Empire 1979)
Testing Ground for new drugs
New medicines should be introduced where the research laboratories and/or the company headquarters are located. They should only be introduced where strict monitoring conditions are available to allow the side-effects on patients to be quickly identified. Such preconditions rule out most of the Third World.

Fact Of Life 3
The chief producers are US 34%, Japan 20%, West Germany 13%.
However, in 1980 of the 2452 new drugs introduced in the year only 4% were launched in the US and Canada; more than 40% were launched in the Third World.
(Source: The Food and Drug Letter 1981)
The dumping of pesticides in the Third World fields can occur because:
• Lack of restrictions means pesticides can be sold even though they may be banned elsewhere.
• The users are likely to be rural workers with an unjustified faith in Western technology, and perhaps unable to read warning and mixing instructions.
• There are often few or no label warnings.
• Little or no protective clothing, masks or gloves are worn.

Fact Of Life 4
38% of international trade in pesticides was with the Third World (1978)
(Source: FAQ Trade Year Book 1979)

Fact Of Life 5
Pesticide consumption in Africa increased by 500% between 1964 and 1974. Imports of pesticides into the Philippines increased by 500% between 1972 and 1978.
(Source: Poisons and Peripheral People: hazardous substances in the Third World', Cultural Survival Inc.)

Fact Of Life 6
More than 30% of all pesticides exported from the US were not approved for use within the country. Approximately 20% of these had formerly been registered but were suspended or cancelled for most uses after dangers became apparent.
(Source: Better Regulation of Pesticide Exports and Pesticide Residues in Imported Foods, US General Accounting Office, 1979)

Do not forget that pesticides, fungicides and herbicides are manufactured by the same companies that bring the drugs to you. Monsanto Cs are as much into drugs as into agricultural chemicals, seeds, and other such products that strengthen the mo-nopoly position. Take the following report for instance.
Bayer Sells AIDS-Infected Drug
Bayer Sells AIDS-Infected Drug Banned in U.S. in Europe, Asia

Unearthed documents show that the drug company Bayer sold millions of dollars worth of an injectable blood-clotting medicine -- Factor VIII concentrate, intended for haemophiliacs -- to Asian, Latin American, and some European countries in the mid-1980s, although they knew that it was tainted with AIDS.

Bayer knew about the fact that the drug was tainted and told the FDA to keep things under wraps while they made a profit off of a drug that infected its patients. If these allegations are true, then both Bayer and the FDA are at fault for this catastro-phe. FDA regulators helped to keep the continued sales hidden, asking the company that the problem be ''quietly solved without alerting the Congress, the medical com-munity and the public,'' according to the minutes of a 1985 meeting.

The AIDS War: Propaganda, Profiteering, and Genocide from the Medical In-dustrial Complex by John Lauritsen

A Harvard-educated survey research analyst by profession, John Lauritsen be-gan reviewing AIDS research in 1983, and is now the leading critical AIDS journalist. THE AIDS WAR is a collection of his major writings on AIDS, going back to February 1985. From the introduction: The AIDS epidemic is an epidemic of lies, through which hundreds of thousands of people have died and are dying unnecessarily, bil-lions of dollars have gone down the drain, the Public Health Service has disgraced it-self, and Science has plunged into whoredom. The official AIDS paradigm -- includ-ing the preposterous notion that a biochemically inactive microbe, the so-called "hu-man immunodeficiency virus" (HIV-1), causes the 29 (at last count) AIDS-indicator diseases – represents the most colossal blunder in medical history. But it is more than a blunder. In the course of this book it will become plain why I have employed the metaphor of war: the terrible suffering and loss of life, propaganda, censorship, rumours, hysteria, profiteering, espionage, and sabotage.

AIDS in Africa: lies and deceptions
Today, in Africa and other so-called third world countries, the AIDS nightmare is continuing and growing more frightening as each day goes by. Not because of any viral pandemic, sweeping across the plains of Africa, but because of an orchestrated pandemic of lies and deceit, sweeping across the globe via a Western-controlled media campaign. In actual fact, it is pre-existing illnesses (the majority of which could be treated relatively easily and cheaply, but which are not), which are now account-ing for so much of these spiralling conventional AIDS death statistics. The World Health Organisation, World Bank, UNAIDS, associated UN organisations, the phar-maceutical giants and related media colleagues etc., are manipulating the current AIDS 'epidemic' in order to continue with their scare-mongering AIDS DEATH HEADLINES.
More shamefully, these organisations are now colluding in the delivery of toxic drugs into Africa and other so-called third world countries, with the express intent of using these drugs as a form of population control in the recipient nations. The World Bank and the IMF are granting loans to HIPC's (heavily indebted poor countries) only if they agree to spend a considerable proportion of that loan on combating AIDS, 'the dreadful disease ravaging their poor country'
Dirty tricks over AIDS figures - Dr Christian Fiala, an Austrian doctor with many years of extensive research on the epidemiological data on HIV/Aids in Europe, USA, Africa and Thailand, including a fact finding mission to Uganda and Tanzania, exposes the ugly methods used by the World Health Organisation (WHO) in arriving at the alarming figures it publishes about African Aids.

"In recent years, there has been an upsurge of police activities in the USA, the nature of which most Americans would more readily associate with repressive dicta-torships. We Americans have been educated to believe that democracy, due pro-cess, assumed innocence-until-proven-guilt, and Constitutional protections against il-legal search and seizure are the laws of the land. On paper, these protections are there; but in reality, these basic Constitutional rights and freedoms have been gradu-ally and steadily eroded away by new laws, judicial rulings, and bureaucratic de-crees. One of the lesser-known but more significant leaders of this assault on Ameri-can freedom has been the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA)."
(James DeMeo, Ph.D.)

"AIDS science needs rethinking. It needs fresh ideas. New leaders. Different pat-terns of funding. And more than anything, the public needs to know that there are scientists who strongly object to the mainstream theory that HIV causes AIDS. What AIDS science needs to abandon quickly is the destructive attitude that anyone who questions the dominant theory is a threat to public health. This position is shameful in a so-called democratic society. Such an unscientific stance rings of insecurity, ego and career protection. The smell of big money is also attached to this outrageous behaviour."
(Nicholas Regush, former correspondent with ABCNEWS.com)

And to make sure they sell as much as possible unimpeded, the US Government has decided that they could kill two birds with one stone – set up the Army in Africa, to both ‘secure the resources’ and ‘protect business interests’.
US Military Control of Africa’s Resources
‘In February 2007 the White House announced the formation of the US African Command (AFRICOM), a new unified Pentagon command centre in Africa, to be es-tablished by September 2008. This military penetration of Africa is being presented as a humanitarian guard in the Global War on Terror. The real objective is, however, the procurement and control of Africa’s oil and its global delivery systems.
‘The most significant and growing challenge to US dominance in Africa is China. An increase in Chinese trade and investment in Africa threatens to substantially re-duce US political and economic leverage in that resource-rich continent. The political implication of an economically emerging Africa in close alliance with China is resul-ting in a new cold war in which AFRICOM will be tasked with achieving full-spectrum military dominance over Africa.
‘AFRICOM will replace US military command posts in Africa, which were for-merly under control of US European Command (EUCOM) and US Central Command (CENTCOM), with a more centralized and intensified US military presence.
‘A context for the pending strategic role of AFRICOM can be gained from ob-serving CENTCOM in the Middle East. CENTCOM grew out of the Carter Doctrine of 1980 which described the oil flow from the Persian Gulf as a “vital interest” of the US, and affirmed that the US would employ “any means necessary, including military force” to overcome an attempt by hostile interests to block that flow.


‘It is in Western and Sub-Saharan Africa that the US military force is most rapidly increasing, as this area is projected to become as important a source of energy as the Middle East within the next decade. In this region, challenge to US domination and exploitation is coming from the people of Africa—most specifically in Nigeria, where seventy percent of Africa’s oil is contained.
‘People native to the Niger Delta region have not benefited, but instead suffered, as a result of sitting on top of vast natural oil and natural gas deposits. Nigerian peo-ple’s movements are demanding self-determination and equitable sharing of oil-receipts. Environmental and human rights activists have, for years, documented atrocities on the part of oil companies and the military in this region. As the tactics of resistance groups have shifted from petition and protest to more proactive measures, attacks on pipelines and oil facilities have curtailed the flow of oil leaving the region. As a Convergent Interests report puts it, “Within the first six months of 2006, there were nineteen attacks on foreign oil operations and over $2.187 billion lost in oil rev-enues; the Department of Petroleum Resources claims this figure represents 32 per-cent of ‘the revenue the country [Nigeria] generated this year.’”


‘Oil companies and the Pentagon are attempting to link these resistance groups to international terror networks in order to legitimize the use of the US military to “stabilize” these areas and secure the energy flow. No evidence has been found however to link the Niger Delta resistance groups to international terror networks or jihadists. Instead the situation in the Niger Delta is that of ethnic-nationalist move-ments fighting, by any means necessary, toward the political objective of self-determination. The volatility surrounding oil installations in Nigeria and elsewhere in the continent is, however, used by the US security establishment to justify military “support” in African oil producing states, under the guise of helping Africans defend themselves against those who would hinder their engagement in “Free Trade.”
‘The December 2006 invasion of Somalia was coordinated using US bases throughout the region. The arrival of AFRICOM will effectively reinforce efforts to re-place the popular Islamic Courts Union of Somalia with the oil industry–friendly Tran-sitional Federal Government. Meanwhile, the persistent Western calls for “humanitar-ian intervention” into the Darfur region of Sudan sets up another possibility for mili-tary engagement to deliver regime change in another Islamic state rich in oil re-serves.
‘Hunt warns that this sort of “support” is only bound to increase as rhetoric of stabilizing Africa makes the dailies, copied directly out of official AFRICOM press re-leases. Readers of the mainstream media can expect to encounter more frequent usage of terms like “genocide” and “misguided.” He notes that already corporate me-dia decry China’s human rights record and support for Sudan and Zimbabwe while ignoring the ongoing violations of Western corporations engaged in the plunder of natural resources, the pollution of other peoples’ homelands, and the “shoring up” of repressive regimes.
‘In FY 2005 the Trans-Sahara Counter Terrorism Initiative received $16 million, in FY 2006, nearly $31 million. A big increase is expected in 2008, with the adminis-tration pushing for $100 million each year for five years. With the passage of AFRI-COM and continued promotion of the Global War on Terror, Congressional funding is likely to increase significantly.
‘In the end, regardless of whether it’s US or Chinese domination over Africa, the blood spilled will be African. Hunt concludes, “It does not require a crystal ball or great imagination to realize what the increased militarization of the continent through AFRICOM will bring to the peoples of Africa.

Gimpy and co.

you have it all wrong, as these posts show. here is apost that explains why.




Let me begin with removing some misconceptions about healing. Healing is not a science, but an Art. Of all things Art is the governor, for it is through Art that Gov-ernment works. Of all Arts, the Art of Healing is the uncrowned Emperor. Poetry may be its Minister and Painting its Culture, Theatre its Jester and Science its Priest, but above all the Art of Healing, Divine in principle and practice, is without doubt the Em-peror.
We are not of the general opinion that modern science as a whole and medical science in particular, is an undivided boon to mankind. To achieve that undivided beneficial quality in medical science demands a different approach from the present. For the learned fraternity of doctors uses the principles of the art of war to achieve their goal. You would not think of applying the principles of healing, painting or poetry in warfare though. What use would syringes and band-Aids, paintbrushes or quat-rains be against machineguns, hand-grenades and bombs?
Similarly, the principles of war are useless in medicine. Bombarding a diseased body with heavy drugs is the wrong way around. If they want it to be a science, then this is unscientific. Bombs always have the opposite effects of what we truly want.

“The danger of bombs is in the explosion of stupidity they provoke.”
                                                                                   (Octave Mirabeau)
Masters & Fools
William Blake said:

“After having been a fool, a student is to amass a stock of ideas and knowing himself to be fool he is to assume the right to put other men’s ideas into his foolery. Instead of following a few great masters, he is to follow a great many fools.”

In homoeopathy, we follow some great masters – Hahnemann and Hering, Von Boenninghausen, Kent, Clarke and Burnett, to name a few. We call them masters, because their findings and the attached doctrines, uses and their results are benefi-cial to our health, both mental and physical.
They heal with the smallest of possible doses radically each and every disease, without the use of the knife or fire and perform the physician’s high and only mission – to cure the sick.


Hahnemann S. Von Boenninghausen C.    Kent J.T.               Hering C.

William Blake made some more astute remarks about masters and fools.

“Servile copying is the great merit of copying. Mechanical excellence is the only vehicle of genius. Execution of this copying is the chariot of genius. Copying correctly is the only school to the language of Art. Copy the few great masters and stop follow-ing a great many fools.”

That is the message. Whether the art is painting, theatre or healing, we have to follow and copy diligently the great masters and not follow any fools. Following in their footsteps in applying the rules of the art, mastery is the well-deserved and tasty fruit.

The orthodox of the Church of Medicine follow quite a few such fools, like Avo-gadro, Mendel and Darwin, Jenner and Pasteur or Roentgen and Curie. These they call their masters. We call them fools because their findings and the attached doc-trines and uses as well as their results are detrimental to our development and our health, both mental and physical.

   
             Edward Jenner                    Louis Pasteur             Marie Curie

For one would not unduly and undividedly praise their inventions as beneficial – vaccination causes untold damage as explained by Professor Coulter PhD and by many others in their books on the subject.

Roentgen and Curie discovered radiology and radioactivity. Radiology we all know causes cancer and modern so-called ‘nuclear medicine’ uses radioactive dyes and scanning machines that give you the equivalent of 10 X-rays per year over 60 years in one go. That is a massive 600 times the normal X-ray radiological dose.
Pasteur’s Gospel is also but a shot in the dark, as we shall see in Chapter 1. It leaves everthing to be wished for and has generated resistance problems with dis-eases that are rapidly becoming insurmountable.

Mendel’s and Darwin’s work gave us the Nazi race laws and the drive for genetic knowledge to make the superrace. This notwithstanding the fact that stupidity and ig-norance survive, simply by their sheer numbers. Fools generally do not consider the negative uses their inventions and discoveries can be put to.

Poor Avogadro could not comprehend anything beyond the molecular level and his ‘limit’ does not take into account nanophase products and potencies, as we shall explain in Chapter 18. Hence it fails to be a limit, except in a limited, molecular sense.
The Enemies of Progress
As Bhaktivinoda Thakur, an Indian sage of the 19th Century wrote:

‘We love to read a book which we never read before. We are anxious to gather whatever information is contained in it and with such acquirement our curiosity stops. This mode of study prevails amongst a great number of readers, who are great men in their own estimation as well as in the estimation of those who are of their own stamp. In fact, most readers are mere repositories of facts and statements made by other people. But this is not study. The student is to read the facts with a view to cre-ate and not with the object of fruitless retention. Students, like satellites, should re-flect whatever light they receive from authors and teachers and not imprison the facts and thoughts just as the Magistrates imprison the convicts in the jail!.’
(Thakur Bhaktivinode. The Bhagavat)

Study is therefore more than the retention of facts. Facts alone will not satisfy the true student, as he cannot do anything with them but make lists and classify, di-vide, count and enumerate. Such is the occupation of bookkeepers. If the goal is to cram as many facts into the head as possible, then study is as good as useless. Study means not that we shall become mere repositories of facts and figures read from a machine, as that does not constitute either study or knowledge or science. For we will find that at some point in life these kinds of facts alone will not help us. The facts are really there to teach us connections between things and to use that know-ledge for the betterment of the patient. The masters have shown us what to do with the facts and we shall slavishly copy them.

‘Begin anew!’ cry both the useless student and the shallow critic and discard all they have ‘learned’ to go back where they started. Each will find he has to again cover the ground he already covered and try to catch up with where he was. This atti-tude hinders the understanding of important things and essential knowledge about disease and its cause is discarded because of it.
There is also the shallow critic, who takes into account what suits his shallow in-vestigation, often designed to deride different paradigms from his own. This is the very thing he deems he is supposed to do. Both the useless student and the shallow critic are the enemies of progress. Progress means elimination and new acceptance, while holding on to the laws and principles. These, the useless student and the shal-low critic will denounce with all their might. From this attitude come sterile experi-ments and uneventful results.

‘These are shallow expressions. Progress certainly is the law of nature and there must be corrections and developments with the progress of time. But progress means going further or rising higher. Now, if we are to follow our foolish critic, we are to go back to our former terminus and make a new race, and when we have run half the race another critic of his stamp will cry out: "Begin anew, because the wrong road has been taken!" In this way our stupid critics will never allow us to go over the whole road and see what is in the other terminus. Thus the shallow critic and the fruitless reader are the two greatest enemies of progress. We must shun them.

‘The true critic, on the other hand, advises us to preserve what we have already obtained, and to adjust our race from that point where we have arrived in the heat of our progress. He will never advise us to go back to the point whence we started, as he fully knows that in that case there will be a fruitless loss of our valuable time and labor. He will direct the adjustment of the angle of the race at the point where we are. This is also the characteristic of the useful student. He will read an old author and will find out his exact position in the progress of thought. He will never propose to burn the book on the ground that it contains thoughts which are useless. No thought is useless. Thoughts are means by which we attain our objects. The reader who de-nounces a bad thought, does not know that a bad road is even capable of improve-ment and conversion into a good one. One thought is a road leading to another. Thus the reader will find that one thought which is the object today will be the means of a further object tomorrow. Thoughts will necessarily continue to be an endless series of means and objects in the progress of humanity. The great reformers will always assert that they have come out not to destroy the old law, but to fulfill it.’
(Thakur Bhaktivinode. The Bhagavat)

However, medical science today has come at a point where what was valid law yesterday will be rejected today, because of some theory, subsequently to be thrown out tomorrow by another theory.
Therefore, they have to start the race each time anew, getting further and further behind where they already were. In homoeopathy we see this trend also develop and we do well to pay attention, for the last time this happened, homoeopathy was vir-tually destroyed in the USA. Mind you, all the so-called new trends in homoeopathy such as drainage and organ therapy were first tried out by Hahnemann before he discovered the Law of Similars and he summarily rejected them as not good enough. We expect our colleagues to study before they make assumptions and to not suc-cumb a second time.

‘Thought is progressive. The author's thought must have progress in the reader in the shape of correction or development. He is the best critic, who can show the further development of an old thought; but a mere denouncer is the enemy of pro-gress and consequently of Nature. The student must hence be creative in his study, if he is to understand. And the critic therefore should have a comprehensive, good, generous, candid, impartial and a sympathetic soul.’
(Thakur Bhaktivinode. The Bhagavat)

Enthusiastic admiration of the previous masters is the first principle of knowledge and its last. The medical scientist who, on examining his own mind finds nothing of inspiration for pure and simple healing, ought not to dare to call himself, let alone at-tempt to be, a healer. He is a fool and a cunning knave, suited only to the purposes of evil exploitation.
This exploitation of the suffering of the patients is the result of a few events in the history of modern medicine, which find their origins in fragmentary, materialist-reductionist thinking, which we inherited from the medieval times, when Pythagoras and Plato were introduced again to Western minds. Pythagoras was a doubter, who wanted to discover whether what he had learned from Egypt, Babylonia and India was really true and could be proven materially. As if his teachers wanted to cheat him! Such investigations lead to fragmentary thinking, since for each fact of learning, something must be invented to prove it.

Similarly in Medicine, where Hippocrates and Galenius wielded the scepter, fragmentary, contrary thinking was the order of the day, although the Arab physicians healed by similars. Later this also changed to the teachings of Galenius and it was the Arab physicians who taucht their European counterparts during the Crusades and the Renaissance.

Fragmentary thinking became therefore the order of the day and gradually re-ductionist-materialist thinking replaced the wholeness and implicate order of the pre-vious ages. This trend has continued and led to such fragmentary views that when Pasteur presented his aberrational germ-theory, they were all too ready to finally have a material cause for disease, as we shall see in Chapter 1.
In the intervening years, much has changed in medicine, making it increasingly fragmentary and reductionistic-materialistic in outlook, but the biggest change came after World War II.
The Emperor’s New Clothes
After WWII, some changes took place in medicine that are extremely detrimental to your health. The first was the incorporation of the camp-doctors within the main-stream. The Allies took as many as they could find, including laboratory personnel, because they knew the procedures. We all know they took the rocket scientists and think that was it. But doctors and chemists and other life-scientists were considered as important, for they had a lot to teach.

Next was the incorporation of those teachings within mainstream research. From the present-day progression, we can all see that Medical Fascism is gaining ground, with mandatory vaccination, mandatory medicinal intake by schoolchildren and man-datory testing at pregnancy or at least the push for such legislation by all too copliant and even willing Governments.
They would like it so that everything not forbidden is compulsory or if not, to be made so on the shortest possible notice and anything not compulsory is forbidden or if not, to also be made so on the shortest possible notice. This of course includes any alternative to their form of quasi-scientific quackery.
There was however a problem.

How did they integrate a despicable form of research and treatment resulting from it, without incurring the wrath of the entire world?
They instigated an enormous PR campaign in which the childhood diseases were painted in the darkest colours, from the few deaths that occurred from them among the poor and underfed.
They then began with mass vaccination and presented it as a benevolent pro-cedure. The resulting diseases caused by the side effects they must of course re-search to ‘understand’ them. It also gave them a tool of fear, to demand compulsion. From the history of vaccination they already knew it was a superfluous procedure with its own accompanying dangers. The simultaneous increase in hygiene, better housing and food that were the real cause of reductions in diseases was kept out of the public eye and the vaccinations were claimed to have done the trick.
An increase in vaccines is the next step to make the population sick and insti-gate more research. These vaccines create ‘a-typical’ forms of the disease which are deadly and on that basis they demanded compulsory vaccination, which succeeded in the US, some States in Canada and Australia, but not in Europe.
When Watson and Crick announced the helical structure of DNA in 1956, medi-cal science had prodded the biologists to further investigate the genes – more frag-mentation – so they could exploit the results and piggy-back their own genetic re-search onto it. Mind you, this was only 10 years after WW II, which should give us pause to think. It must have taken a massive effort – similar to the Manhattan project – to advance that much in so few years, considering the technology available. Gradually, they introduced the idea of genetic causes of disease and more research was directed towards it.

This increased the power of the Medical-Pharmaceutical Industrial Empire a great deal and fed its ambitions to megalomaniacal proportions and so it was that it became the Emperor of Sciences, rather than simply remaining the Emperor of Arts. Lobbying the Governments further strengthened their position and the Emperor grew in power, demanding compulsion for vaccination – if not possible for babies, then for the military at least, ‘to protect them against biological weapons’.
The Governments realised that universal healthcare could be achieved with the help of the Industry and the socialism that took a hold of Europe and elsewhere be-gan to implement it. This meant giving more power to the Medical-Pharmaceutical Industrial Empire, which suited them very well. With legislation backing them, they could finally install their Emperor upon the throne.
Next, they lobbied to make certain other types of treatment compulsory, which failed on a general level, but was successful at the local level in many places. Now they had another weapon in their fight for control of health, reproduction and sanity. For meanwhile they had also developed the pill, to control the population numbers. They moreover increased the number of ‘psychiatric illnesses’, which puts school-children on six different drugs every day, to ‘control their behaviour’. The fact that 60% of Americans are on some form of psycho-active drugs, is telling in this respect. Any other form of medicine is labeled quackery and prosecuted, harrassed and robbed of its tools, by declaring them carcinogenic or some such excuse. That is how much their Emperor has gained in power.

They present their Emperor to us as a more and more dictatorial figure, whose desires in the war on disease must be followed without so much as demurring. Dressed up in the tyranny of conformation, he demands you must submit to everyone of his procedures. From the day you were born, some form of the Emperor’s direc-tives have been forced upon you, no matter how loud you protested. The Emperor demands that we shall be subjected to mandatory suffering.
While you will not be tortured in the literal sense of being imprisoned and sub-jected to thumbscrews, waterboarding and such like, the substances they subject you to can at least be classed in the same category. Most of the time it does not even leave a mark, except with pox, measles, whooping-cough and possibly polio, which may drop you dead, give you personality and brain-damage or leave you a paralysed, drooling wreck.

They say this is based on scientific evidence. However, evidence is supposed to remove all doubt. The evidence in the ‘evidence-based medicine’ presented by the orthodox brethren produces different results from their suppositions. It does not re-move doubt, but reinforces it. While they have impressive arrays of machinery to show us their ‘evidence’, the conclusions derived from it are far from rational and highly doubtful by themselves, as we shall discover.
Their treatment is suppressive, forcing the disease to seek ever newer outlets, primarily because its former outlet is removed by surgery. By pushing the disease further inside, they conveniently hide its symptoms for some time, after which it will break out anew and be taken to be a different disease. They force upon the patient all kinds of haphazard measures, which he swallows, hook, line and sinker. They ex-periment a little here and add some guesswork there and simply wait and see and hope for the best. The boringly drab conventional cloakery in which they dress up their vague explanations fails to impress.

As William Blake said:

“The Prince's Robes & Beggars' Rags
Are Toadstools on the Miser's Bags.”

What else but miserly is modern medicine, with its attention to machines and its complete and utter disregard for the patient, the real sufferer.

Such types of clothes cannot even be designated as rags, let alone represent the Imperial robes, with all their splendour, beauty and glory. For their Emperor has no sable mantles, no pashmina shawls, no hermelin robes, no gold-embroidered silken shirts, no velvet trousers, no fine wool or cotton socks and no beautifully crafted shoes with gold-and-diamond clasps. He does not even wear an Imperial ring! Their Emperor wears consequently no clothes at all, but as in the fable, nobody dares to say anything.
We shall assume the mantle of the child and loudly proclaim that their Emperor is naked!
The Art of Healing
The Art of Healing finds its origins in charity and therefore cannot work but by empathy and sympathy. Since the law of homoeopathy is found in the oldest reli-gious texts of the world and because it works along the same principles of empathy and sympathy, it can be easily inferred that it is the True Divine Art of Healing. Heal-ing then, as in to make whole and Holy, cannot come out of speculation and self-reliance – it has to follow scientific principles, just like its material counterpart. It is not that anything you try should give it to you – no imaginative process will help, whether you call them ‘affirmations’ or ‘meditations’ or in a more down to earth manner call them ‘blood values’ and ‘antibody counts’ – you better be honest enough to admit that it is imagination either way.

Just as in any other art you first must learn the materials and the technique, so it is with the Art of Healing. It cannot be learned at university and no pope, emperor or king can confer this art or its qualifications upon the seeker. Just as there is but one Rembrandt and one Picasso and one Dali, so there are but few real Healers. And just as in the other arts, there are the assorted wannabees, the hangers-on and the charlatans. The Art comes through apprentice-ship and practise, practise and more practise, in following in the footsteps of the great masters – just consider the massive oeuvre Rembrandt left and his copying of previous masters, till he found his own style. It comes from diligently treating and studying the sick, according to the rules set out by the masters.

Healing – to make whole or Holy – involves more than a cure. A cure is more than the removal of mental, emotional and physical symptoms. The doctor – of what-ever medical persuasion – generally only deals with the body, and if he is somewhat more holistic, he deals with the mind and emotions as well.
Treating disease is not only medicine and healing, it is also and foremost spiri-tual practise, which includes nutrition, body care, right work, proper rest and recrea-tion. Homoeopathy is about holistic health and happiness. Although not giving spe-cific spiritual instructions, it exhorts mankind that the spiritual path is the greatest guarantee for long life and happiness. Any good homoeopath should also be ac-quainted with the spiritual practises of his patients, so he can assist them in this manner as well. For as we noted above, the Art of Healing finds its origins in Divinity and hence it must be directed there, to have the greatest efficacy.
The Law of Similars is as old as the mountains and was reiterated for the first time in the Bhagavat Purana:

amay? yas ca bh?tanam yayate yena suvrata
tad eva hy ?may?m dravy?m na pun?ti cik?tsit?m

‘Oh good soul, does not a thing when applied therapeutically, cure a disease, which was caused by the very same thing?’
(Veda-Vyasa K.D. Bhagavat Purana 1/5/33)

The Bhagavat Purana is said to be the spotless purana. Because it does not contain any materialism in it. Hence every statement from that purana is spiritually pure. Therefore, the Healing Art described is the purest and most Divine of all.
Now, we reiterate it again, to impress upon the reader that ‘there are more ways to skin the cat’, as the saying goes. It was subsequently reiterated by Hippocrates, Paracelsus and Hahnemann – the latter two both ridiculed and despised for their in-sight and wisdom – yet modern medicine discards it as antiquated, vitalist, moon-shine medicine. However, we paraphrase Vyasa:

“This knowledge is the king of education, the most secret of all secrets. It is the purest knowledge and because it gives direct perception of the self by realisation, it is the perfection of healing. It is everlasting and joyfully performed.”
                                                      (Veda-Vyasa K.D.)

Homoeopathy, as the True Art of Healing, will not assimilate with the system. The mere mention of it is as nearly certainly the cause for a conventional reaction as is a glass of beer to a prohibitionist or an AA member. This reaction will be apparent from both sides, for they are wholly incompatible, having opposite principles and laws.
Again we quote David Bohm:

“The probability is always open that there may exist an unlimited variety of addi-tional properties, qualities, entities, systems, levels, etc, to which apply correspond-ingly new kinds of laws of nature.”
(Bohm D. Wholeness and the Implicate Order)

It is of the ideals of science to know one thing from another before expressing an opinion on it. The medical scientists have neglected this and have gone from an as-sumption – Hiv causes Aids.
Assumptions generally leave one open to criticism, especially when the concepts on origins are hampered by tunnel vision, rooted in the 19th Century aberration of Pasteur as we shall see. As Louis de Broglie once stated:

“It is premature to reduce the vital process to the quite insufficiently developed conception of the 19th- and even 20th-Century chemistry and physics.”
(De Broglie L. La Chemie Moderne)

The theory must be repeatable by experiment to deserve to be classed as scien-tific. However, conjecture is the name of the game and there is no scope, nor escape for dissidence. Kent, a nineteenth century homoeopath and contemporary of Pasteur, expressed man’s preoccupation with conjecture as follows:

‘There is a state of insanity in the sciences of the present day. They put all laws aside, in order to accept for instance the germ-theory (or for that matter any theory), because they want something that in its aggregate is large enough to be felt with the fingers.’
                                                                       (Kent J.T. Lesser Writings)

Since this is so, the throne of the Emperor must remain empty, till the rightful owner comes back to claim it. We cannot assume that modern medicine with its claims to health and happiness which they fail to deliver has the right to occupy any throne – let alone the throne of learning that medicine is.
You can see for yourself – and if not, we shall make you see – that in the cen-tury-and-a-half between these words and the present day nothing has changed. If we are unable to make you see the obvious you are either literally or figuratively blind. In the first case you will be forgiven. In the latter case, we suspect you belong in the class of ‘none so blind that refuse to see’. We admit that for those, even homeopathy is almost powerless. But only almost, since such refusal is merely a part of the symp-toms and thus curable.

Oh, Gimpy!  Come out...come out...wherever you are?! 

Don't cry, little girl.   Doc Quack sent you a love note, but it's doubtful you have the honesty to post it all on your blog, now isn't it?     I'll censor it here for you and the others, though!

G is for little girly man, now isn't it? 

As far as I can tell, Gimpy has pointed to serious ethical breaches and no-one on this forum has yet attempted to disprove or to properly address these concerns. I don't see how posting a New York Times headline about unethical behaviour by somebody else excuses, disproves, or explains the unethical behaviour of Sherr. Would you like to try again?

As far as I can tell,

which is not that far.
we have addressed all his concerns and his slanderous remarks about Sherr.
maybe you should read all the posts carefully. you could learn something in the process.
and no, a headline does not address those points, but shows that it is at best the pot telling the kettle black.

Say, Dr. K, this "Albert Junior" gig is pretty fun but it's starting to draw up the evil demons in me so I'm gonna go enjoy the rest of my day and work in the sunshine.  To hell with these skeptic trolls. 

and here are a few more deep gully, ponder them and be shocked or outraged, who cares about your shallow thinking?

The Hippocratic or Hypocritical Oath
We discover they pay but lip-service to the well-being of the patient, violate every rule in the Oath of Hippocrates and pay scant attention to the results – either short or long-term – of their haphazard, speculative, experimental and dangerous treatment. Neglectful of the basic needs of the patient, they stuff them with atrocious food, which does not serve in strengthening the sick, but fill them with such loathing, they weaken and suffer more from under-nourishment.
While the use of the knife, fire and the means for both abortion and euthanasia are forbidden by the Hippocratic Oath, the knife and burning are their first lines of defence in many cases and abortion and euthanasia have become the order of the day.
Instead of protecting life, they engage in its destruction, all in the name of progress in science.
It reminds us of a certain period in history which we vowed to never repeat.
Yet we find that stand-over tactics are used to force the wish of the doctor over the wish of the patient – he is threatened with certain death if he does not comply with an expensive and often unnecessary operation.
No explanation is offered for the real reasons the doctor wants to operate – teaching the boys how to cut; adding to the surgeon’s own glory; adding to the surgeon’s purse; sprucing up the financial position of the hospital or simply reducing the waiting lists that are as long as the surgeon’s arm – there is no visible indication, other than large amounts of money changing hands. The notions of secrecy and conspiracy are overwhelming, yet no scrutiny is exerted over hospitals and clinics.
Recent admissions that 90% of their dope has no value other than filling company coffers and that reduction of intake of antibiotics by four to seven days does not lead to less cures, are signs that the game is up. We have had the wool pulled over our eyes for too long and no longer take it lying down.
We demand justice for and freedom from the suffering and compensation for those that have undergone their useless treatment and those that lost loved ones because of that same treatment.
A Ritual Sacrifice at The Black Mass
Where they denounce the religious, they believe in even more elusive Devils –
bacteria, vira, bacilli and microbes, of which they have become the self-appointed priests. Pasteur is the Moses of this religion. Pasteur’s Ten Commandments which he brought down from the Mountain of the Lab must be followed, on the threat of excommunication. Their other devils we met already – Virus and Bacterium, Bacillus and Microbe. The Altar of Medical Science is deemed worth any sacrifice – even that of human life – which is offered in a Black Mass to the prevailing Devil perceived in the disease, which may go by any fancy Greek/Latin name, as long as he fits in one of the accepted Classes: Bacterium, Bacillus, Microbe, Virus or Fungus and is present in large enough numbers to cause panic and subsequent ritual placation.
All this happens, notwithstanding the prohibition of human sacrifice.
I have compared modern medicine to its medieval counterpart. I should actually consider it as belonging in further recesses of time and typify it as pre-primitive.
Although a fool’s set of scales may tilt to the heavier side, one must carefully watch what has been put into it. All progress is from the outrageous to the commonplace. Stones don’t fall from the sky and if they do, they are all just meteors. Diseases don’t come from drugs and if they do, they’re only minor side effects.
We know how hypnosis works; if you insist long enough, you begin to think you are right. You imagine you may have higher perceptions what is right. The prohibitionists had this worked out very skilfully. It may be that the discovery of Australia will turn out to be less important than the discovery and meaning of bacilli; or so they hope.
The staff of caduceus – the staff of Hermes and the traditional sign of healers – is now usurped by the practise of doctoring, calling itself the science of medicine. Healing is not their goal, but the conquering of disease, which is making so much money that to be sick, is costing society on average twice as much as one produces per day. This latter non-method runs around in circles in the periphery, while the centre, the patient is completely ignored. It is the wild goose chase after the chimera of the material cause of disease. It is based on the following generalisations and hence failures.
It takes its leave from the mythological Mr Average, who is a figment of the imagination.
It is under the illusion that disease is a localised phenomenon, situated somewhere in the tissues or the organs.
Because of this illusion of locality, specialisms are the next fragmentary problem they face, since it boils down to knowing so much about so little that one knows nothing.
This specialism leads automatically to medieval polypharmacy, because each specialist will give his own type of medicine. Since none knows what the other did, such abominable mixtures cause untold problems.
It is under the illusion that the accompanying germ is the cause of this disease, whereas the germ is really also the result.
It tests its medicines first on animals, as if animals are more like people than people. From this aberrational idea no conclusions can ever be drawn
