I don't know what's up with his disapproval represented by the thumbs-down sign, but I'll just ignore it since what he said is mostly true, and it seemed to me that you meant an appointment with your homeopath or with Hans, not with your acupuncturist. I wish people in general were more precise, unambiguous and avoided making statements that can be misinterpreted, but I don't think you did, and I know I didn't, so it's a mystery. Who cares, though, since most people who speak about homeopathy or any Great Truths live in glass houses?
Specifically, I don't believe that modern people deserve to be treated like fools and given simple explanations for complex issues, for one invariably finds half-truths and lies within those kinds of explanations and the far-worse cliches, platitudes and slogans of brainwashing (conditioned-reflex brain reactions) when we attempt to simplify without wisdom, but I otherwise agree. He's invoking the magnificent statement by Samuel Hahnemann in Article 52 of the ORGANON OF MEDICINE (link:
Hahnemann's Organon), arguably the very core of the book that will still be mostly valid for thousands of years, but I said what he did there in my own words, didn't I? In truly simple terms, you can't combine allopathy and homeopathy any more than you can get sugar from salt or invoke up when you mean down and expect anything but chaos, can you? Restated, why seek out allopaths for something when homeopaths have cured it? That's just dumb, but I noticed that you'd probably understand the fuller explanation as a knowledgeable homeopathic patient and therefore clearly aren't dumb, so I proceeded beyond the first sentences in quoting you.
I think it's a cool question, and I doubted that you'll ever meet anyone else who knows this little bit about Dr. Voegeli's papers on acupuncture because the writings of Hahnemannians are such obscure information. It's therefore obviously better to have shared it even if you didn't understand since others will either now or later, but I'm rather sure you did.
God bless!
