Hi Dillweed,
Thanx for the comments. OBVIOUSLY I'm not going to post on a forum like that anymore. I do have some brains even though I'm blonde!
I also don't have any problems with having patients or prescribing. My practice is busy and I have 7 years of happy clients who happily refer their friends and their family members. That's not what I'm referring to.
My concern was how others deal with negativity.
I got drawn into this because of how I saw another Homeopath pulled to pieces and I wanted to set the record straight.
As a Homeopath listening and observing are all important skills. And I observe that there ARE elements in society that don't want to allow us to practice.......by writing articles in magazines, producing TV programmes...writing books.
If we just ignore their actions and bury our heads in the sand we make the development of Homeopathy difficult.
I also realise that most Homeopaths have USED Homeopathy ( I did a survey when I was editor of Student Homeopath Magazine) and the 'critics' have never even tried a remedy....
And yes, its perfectly true that until you use Homeopathy, you can't judge it's ability to heal. My first experience of Homeopathy was when my son was a baby (he's 13 now) and I gave him Aconite for croup....when I SAW him recover from an attack of breathing difficulty I thought ;"WOW, why did THAT happen?".....and after 5 years of study and 7 years of practice I know why....and those 'WOW's still happen.
