Re: onion/homeopathy

Hi Kirk:

Sorry - your statement: " Homeopathic medicine comes to the same

conclusion when it recognizes that red onion produces a dry cough,

watery eyes, sneezing, runny nose and other familiar cold-related

symptoms when consumed " renders an inaccurate view of the opinion of

homeopathy.

Very interesting on the garlic, but your description of how

homeopathic medicine views onions is wrong. Homeopathy does not view

onions as a toxic substance but rather as a substance, which if

consumed or exposed to in excess, will produce a specific set of

symptoms; this very same symptom set can be cured by consuming a

homeopathic preparation of the original substance (in this case,

onions or red onions).

Homoepathic medicine views almost any substance as a potential

remedy. Homeopathic remedies use substances which have been observed

to inspire a specific set of symptoms " when consumed IN EXCESS. "

Those very substances, when prepared according to homeopathic protocol

have the ability to catalyze a healing when the patient's symptoms

match exactly or closely the symptoms which the original substance may

have catalyzed in TOXIC amounts. This is where the understanding of

" like cures like " comes from.

Additionally, when a homeopathic remedy is prepared, it is diluted so

many times that, even in the lowest potencies, none of the original

substance remains in even microscopically quantifiable amounts.

Because of the succussing (vibrating and shaking) during the

preparation and the repeated dilutions, the ultimate remedy acquires

the PROPERTIES of the original material, yet retaining no measurable

amount of its original chemistry, is non toxic and heals with energy,

not chemistry.

That is not to say that a remedy used too often cannot prove itself on

the patient (proving is the process whereby the symptoms associated

with a particular remedy manifest themselves in a subject through

repeated exposure or ingestion and the process by which homeopathic

researchers purposely determine what healing a specific remedy may

perform). Nor is it to say that a remedy may not spur an aggravation

or " healing crisis, " which will subside as the patient responds and

begins to heal.

Remedies do not act chemically as drugs do; rather, they work in sync

with the patient's overall whole and spur the body to recognize its

path to cure; put simply, they open the door for the body whole to

heal itself.

Homeopathic remedies are prepared from thousands of plants, minerals

and even exudates of diseases, some of them harmful in their normal

state (like aconite (monkshood), phytolacca (poke)), and many of them

not, for example, Apium Graveolens (celery), apple, a variety of aquas

(water from various locations), and many of them materials which we

have naturally in our bodies, but which if ingested in quantity would

be toxic, like aurum, gold, present in micro quantities in our bodies

already.

There are over 70,000 remedies recognized and prepared today. Just

because the homeopathic community recognizes the symptoms associated

with an excess of any substance does not mean that the homeopathic

community would categorize that material as a toxic.

actually http://www.reikiempowermentseminars.com.au/assets/taoist.htmlsaid that.as for my personal opinion re homeopathy I agree with this web page:http://bayourenaissanceman.blogspot.com/2008/06/homeopathy-exposed-as-fraud-again.htmlA typical remedy could have one part of an ingredient to one trillion, trillion parts of water.Although

scientists argue the 'cures' are so diluted they are unlikely to

contain any of the original substance, homeopaths claim the water

retains a 'memory' of the active ingredient, which it passes to the

body to help fight the illness.Professor Ernst - a former

homeopath himself who now researches complementary medicine at Exeter

University - said 200 strictly controlled trials had failed to find any

evidence that homeopathy worked.'If you do a systematic look at all the evidence you fail to demonstrate strong evidence in favour of homeopathy,' he added.However, despite the lack of evidence, supporters of the treatment continue to claim there is hard proof, he said.Some

selectively pick studies that support the treatment, but ignore those

that don't, or misquote the findings of trials, or rely on flawed

studies, he claimed.Dr Simon Singh, who co-authored the book Trick or Treatment with Professor Ernst, said homeopathy only worked as a placebo.'If homeopathy could be proven to be effective it might earn the researcher a Nobel Prize in Medicine,' he said.'He or she would also deserve Nobel prizes in chemistry and physics because the laws of science would need to be re-written.'One

of the best debunkings of homeopathy I've ever seen is delivered by

Randi in the video clip below. It's worth watching.andhttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1026966/Leading-professor-offers-10-000-person-prove-homeopathy-works.htmlLeading professor offers Â£10,000 to first person to prove homeopathy worksRead more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1026966/Leading-professor-offers-10-000-person-prove-homeopathy-works.html#ixzz0UJ5RUepX--- On Sun, 10/18/09, Theresa <tgeorge1@...> wrote:From: Theresa
