Dear Friends of Homeopathy...

2009 is a very auspicious year for CHARLES DARWIN because it is the 200
years ago that he was born and it is 150 years ago that his seminal book,
"On the Origin of Species," was published. The precise date of the
publication of his book was November 24, 1859, which means that the 150th
anniversary is coming up! These auspicious dates explain why we all are
seeing an increasing number of references to Darwin in the popular media.

Well, I am now giving you and the media one more GOOD reason to talk
about Charles Darwin...

I am pleased to announce that my newest article, "The Curious Case of
Charles Darwin and Homeopathy," was just published by Oxford University
Press' respected medical journal, eCAM (Evidence Based Complementary and
Alternative Medicine). Its editor, Edwin Cooper, PhD, is a professor of
immunology at UCLA, and its editorial board is international in scope.

The abstract of the article summarizes it:
In 1849, Charles Darwin was so ill that he was unable to work one out of
every 3 days, and after having various troubling symptoms for 2-12 years, he
wrote to a friend that he was 'going the way of all flesh'. He sought
treatment from Dr James Manby Gully, a medical doctor who used water cure
and homeopathic medicines. Despite being highly skeptical of these
treatments, he experienced a dramatic improvement in his health, though some
of his digestive and skin symptoms returned various times in his life. He
grew to appreciate water cure, but remained skeptical of homeopathy, even
though his own experiments on insectivore plants using what can be described
as homeopathic doses of ammonia salts surprised and shocked him with their
significant biological effect. Darwin even expressed concern that he should
publish these results. Two of Darwin's sons were as incredulous as he was,
but their observations confirmed the results of his experiments. Darwin was
also known to have read a book on evolution written by a homeopathic
physician that Darwin described as similar to his own but 'goes much
deeper.'

Those of you who are familiar with my book, "The Homeopathic Revolution:
Why Famous People and Cultural Heroes Choose Homeopathy,"
(www.HomeopathicRevolution.com) will know that much of the information in my
new article is drawn from this book, though I have added more information
and more references.

The chapter on "Physicians and Scientists" in this book include details
about the use and/or advocacy of homeopathy by Sir John Forbes, Sir William
Osler, Emil Adolf von Behring, Sidney Ringer, Charles Frederick Menninger,
August Bier, Royal S. Copeland, Grant Selfridge, William J. Mayo and Charles
H. Mayo, C. Everett Koop, and Brian Josephson. If you too are tired of
skeptics saying that homeopaths and advocates of homeopathy are "lame," you
can let them know that they are "indicting" many of the most respected
physicians and scientists of the last 200 years...
