Homeopathy is Witchcraft, say Allopathic Doctors
Big Pharma is attempting to crush Homeopathy and is launching a vicious disinformation campaign against it! 'Dr Tom Dolphin, deputy chairman of the BMA's junior doctors committee in England told the conference: "Homeopathy is witchcraft. It is a disgrace that nestling between the National Hospital for Neurology and Great Ormond Street [in London] there is a National Hospital for Homeopathy which is paid for by the NHS". The alternative medicine, devised in the 18th century by the German physician Samuel Hahnemann, is based on a theory that substances which cause symptoms in a healthy person can, when vastly diluted, cure the same problems in a sick person. Proponents say the resulting remedy retains a "memory" of the original ingredient – a concept dismissed by scientists.'

Could This 'Forbidden Medicine' Eliminate the Need for Drugs?
'A fierce battle was also waged against homeopathy in the United States during the 1800s, where homeopathy had achieved a strong presence by 1840. In fact, in 1847, the American Medical Association (AMA) was formed specifically to fight the battle against homeopathy.
Most homeopaths of the 1800s were former allopaths who had abandoned their brethren because they found Hahnemann’s system to be more successful in battling cholera, typhus, yellow fever, diptheria, influenza, and other epidemics of the 1800s. In retaliation, the preamble to the AMA’s charter forbade its members to associate with homeopaths or to use their medicines, and many doctors were expelled for failing to comply.
But does homeopathy really pose such a threat to conventional medicine today? To see how the little David of homeopathy could take down the Goliath of big pharma, we need to take a closer look at what homeopathy is all about.'

Preparing for Radiation: Do Homeopathic Remedies Protect Against X-rays, CT Scans and Other Radiological Procedures?
'In Brief: X-rays, fluoroscopy and CT scans provide early detection of serious problems, inform treatment, and save lives. Unfortunately, they also damage genetic material and cause cancer. Homeopathy can be used alongside radiology to minimise its harmful effects.
'A recent study published in the New England Journal of Medicine drew the medical establishment’s attention once again to the harmful effects of diagnostic radiation – particularly of CT (computed tomography) scans. This latest study was nothing new but media outlets ran with the story, alarming the public about the increased risk of developing cancer from these scans.
'Medical imaging does carry risks but protective steps can be taken. This article explores those risks and how homeopathy (and certain foods) can minimize the impact of those risks.'

Study Shows Homeopathic Remedies Kill Cancer Cells Without Harming Healthy Cells
'A recent study published in the February 2010 issue of the International Journal of Oncology has documented that homeopathic remedies applied to breast cancer cells caused significant cell death, while resulting in nearly indiscernible harm to normal breast cells. The finding cannot be explained by a placebo effect, as it was a lab experiment on cell lines, results were reached using automated equipment, and proper controls were included.
'The study, done by the respected MD Anderson Cancer Center, was entitled, "Cytotoxic effects of ultra-diluted remedies on breast cancer cells"(1). Lead author, Moshe Frenkel MD, stated,
We felt that homeopathy needed to be tested in the same way that we test new chemotherapeutic drugs. We were quite impressed to find that homeopathic remedies have similar effects to chemotherapy on breast cancer cells but without affecting normal cells, a very exciting finding. As far as we know, this is the first study that evaluated the effect of homeopathic remedies on breast cancer cells.
'Modern automated equipment was used to test the effects of four homeopathic remedies on two adenocarcinoma cell lines. Controls of normal breast cells and cells treated only with solvent were done. Results were presented in graph form, a method often used in pre-clinical trials of drugs. The methodology is similar to testing done on paclitaxel (generic for Taxol®).'

Big Pharma's War Against Homeopathy
Could This 'Forbidden Medicine' Eliminate the Need for Drugs?by Dr. Mercola
'Perhaps the most derided of alternative medicines is my own favorite – homeopathy. Over the past few years, detractors have focused their efforts in the United Kingdom and have succeeded in crippling homeopathic hospitals and clinics funded by the National Health Service, as well as the practices of many homeopaths.
A few well-placed editorials in prominent newspapers have done the trick, despite the fact that Prince Charles and the rest of the royal family are ardent supporters of homeopathy.'
