Re: Homeopathy & Christians

[Guest guest]

I think it's the few references to alchemy here and there.

The only thing I can think of is that it is close to nature in their

minds and might make some word association thing to Wicca perhaps?

I have had patients who stopped seeing me and know of Christians who will

not try homoeopathy because their church friends told them homeopathy is

satanic!

From what I understand, the reason is that they lump hom. together with all

the new age activities. To them, new age means tarot cards, channeling,

reiki etc. And all new age activities are satanic.

Such behaviour is quite typical of humans - we fear what we do not

understand + the unthinking herd mentality.

I forgot to include one major new age satanic activity - yoga!

Hmmm...bizarre to me. I am a Christian and use homeopathy. I've

mentioned it to Christian friends and no one has ever said anything

about it. The " religion " behind some Christian philosophies is

always frustrating to me. It's unfortunate that people would not use

a safe/effective way to treat illness using God-given things from

nature. I'll be sure to ask my pastor though -- I'll let you know

what he/she says.
