posted in Politics by themaiden |What makes you sick? Well, whatever it is put some of it in solution and dilute it 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times. That will make you better. Never mind that “the laws of chemistry state that there is a limit to the dilution that can be made without losing the original substance altogether” and that Hahnemann, homeopathy’s founder, “himself realized that there is virtually no chance that even one molecule of original substance would remain after extreme dilutions“, because you still have ““spirit-like” essence—”no longer perceptible to the senses”—which cures by reviving the body’s “vital force.””
Ok. But…
Homeopaths would be fine, if they could just shut up about serious stuff, like Aids, malaria, and MMR.
This week I received a flier for a conference being organised by the Society of Homeopaths (“representing professional homeopaths”), the biggest professional organisation for homeopaths in the UK. “Join us at this one-day Symposium in London for a fascinating insight into the role of homeopathy in treating HIV/AIDS.”
It’s a pretty fascinating flier. “In searching for an effective remedy for treating the AIDS-epidemic in Africa, the UK-homeopath Peter Chappell discovered a method to design remedies fitting the totality of a disease. These remedies are now known as PC-remedies.” In case you’re wondering how he makes them, Peter explains on his own site how he “creates a holistic mirror energy/information set to the disease using a special process he does not yet disclose.”
He also sells energy wave patterns on iTunes. They sound like jazz – I am listening to Aids one right now - but this is simply the “carrier”, on which the healing “resonance” is “engrafted”. “Modern quantum physics is confirming resonance works on all levels of existence,” he says.
The Society’s conference materials are gushing. “He [their lecturer] observed that in just a few days or weeks patients become symptom free and able to return to their jobs and schools or to look after their children again. Harry believes that using the PC1 remedy, the AIDS epidemic can be called to a halt, and that homeopaths are the ones that can do it.” On his own site, Harry is even more explicit: “PC1 for HIV/AIDS works”. How well? “In all cases.”
… treating AIDS by engrafting healing resonance onto carrier jazz created via a holistic mirror? Treating AIDS with music? That is downright psychotic. And ought to be illegal. Of course, I guess I just don’t get it.
I feel you have not researched the many scholars around the globe that are researching the quantum biological perspective. A few key biophysicists are gaining knowledge that there are subatomic fields that interpenetrate and structure the molecular level. These fields can directly relate to how homeopathy works. YOU DO NOT NEED ANY MOLECULES OF THE SUBSTANCE IN THE REMEDY TO AFFECT THESE UNDERLYING FIELDS. A SUBATOMIC WAVE FIELD THAT IS CARRYED BY THE WATER OR SUGAR IN THE REMEDY IS INTERACTING WITH THE SUBATOMIC FIELDS UNDERLYING THE PHYSICAL MATTER OF THE PATIENT. The problem is our limited technology can only measure a limited band of the energy spectrum. WE ARE NOT THAT ADVANCED AS A CIVILISATION. JUST WATCH THE NEWS.
Really, I love insanity like “quantum biological perspective” and “subatomic fields that interpenetrate and structure the molecular level”. Snake Oil 101: Explain your quackery in terms of the latest and most confusing real science you can find. The more difficult and obscure the real science the better. No one is going to check. And, using the word ‘quantum’ sounds so high-techie and advanced.
I also love things like this.
Homeopathic practices tend to be from the biblical roots of good natural medicine. There are millions that will fight any intrusion on homeopathy and its tenets. God have mercy on the persecutors.
Right. That says “Good science”. Hmmm… nevermind that it doesn’t sit so well with the previous justification of homeopathy.
