Rubbish

Homeopathy

Acupuncture

Shiatsu

Clairvoyance

Clair audience

Psychic abilities

Effects at a distance

Just to show a few things that are held to be rubbish by some people

They are held to be rubbish according to many doctors and scientists

Though we need to remember that doctors and scientists come in all shapes and sizes

Some pretty stupid

Some very clever

Some very biased against things they cannot understand

.

Others open minded

.

We could argue in defense of the above list however this would take too long and this blog is just designed to provoke thought

So we choose homeopathy as it is so often derided because " why there is not even one molecule of the original substance left in the preparation so how can it possibly work"?

.

But work it does even though many dispute this

.

Indeed all on the list above work in the sense that they have been around and accepted by many for thousands of years, with countless examples of success

.

Thousands of years and yet they are still being argued about

.

How come?

.

Simply put anything that cannot be understood by western science must be nonsense

.

The fact that they work is inconvenient but no deterrent to spin and ridicule

Has it ever been so with western science

.

So back to Homeopathy

.

In the case of homeopathy, no we are not talking about any placebo effect because while this might be so in some instances, as it is with many mainstream treatments, the effects of homeopathy go way beyond the placebo

.

And so how does it work?

.

Why the preparation has memory and it is this that does the work

.

When preparing a homeopathic remedy the practitioner imparts an idea, an instruction to the preparation in the form of a substance that he is using for a particular treatment

.

This affects the chain of water molecule formatons changing their shape and informing them of the instruction

.

This instruction remains even when every single molecule of the preparation has been removed from the water

.

A Japanese scientist Dr Masaru Emoto has extensive photos of frozen water molecule formations before and after instruction showing these effects visually in photos

.

This is clearly and beautifully shown in one of his books "The hidden messages in water"

.

He is not alone in having researched how water behaves when so instructed but is one of the first to show this visually

.

Why have scientists not pursued this line of enquiry further?

.

No idea

.

Well actually it is clear that this offends ideas of linear logic and old ideas about healing

.

In addition the Medical Establishment is famous for it's conservative views and politics

.

It is also clear that vested interests have no desire that cheap alternative remedies be found for many of the areas where they currently sell expensive pills and treatments

.

So on the one hand is an area of great potential for mankind and on the other vested interests

.

For sure many complementary therapies do not help themselves by resisting calls for verification of their approaches

.

Those who want to move our understanding forward will keep trying and one day as always happens the majority will bow to overwhelming evidence and say that they always knew that they worked!

.

In the meantime

.

For all of us there are areas in life where we can choose what we think to be real

.

We can go further and have a look for ourselves

.

Why not do this?

.

Apart from anything else many of these areas are fascinating

.

Warning!!

.

There are many charlatans around today so ensure that if you do want to look at any of these areas you find a reputable practitioner or umbrella organisation
