“We’re seeing an increase in prescription drug use across the board. Prescription painkillers — especially oxy — speed, you name it. We’re seeing a lot of kids dealing ADHD drugs too,” said one school resource officer who wasn’t authorized to speak on the subject."

Statin Drugs Provide No Benefit: Study of 4 Million People

"Despite a widespread and increasing utilisation of statins, no correlation to the incidence or mortality of AMI [acute myocardial infarction] could be detected. Other factors than increased statin treatment should be analysed especially when discussing the allocation of public resources."

Homeopathic skeptics turn ardent supporters

(NaturalNews) The history of homeopathy is littered with eminent medical doctors who, in their desire to debunk it, have become some of its most ardent supporters. To debunk it, first they had to study it. After an in depth study, they became homeopaths themselves, leaving medicine behind.

Because it is not possible to fit the concepts and philosophy of homeopathy into current, common ways of thinking (now or in the past), it is often seen as irrelevant.

However, this is not the fault of homeopathy, but rather that of the limited way of thinking of humanity. The thinking of humanity is a work in progress. New ideas are explored constantly. New knowledge comes to light all the time. Old ways are discarded as the truth is exposed.

Current medicine is based on Newtonian physics, which is only concerned with the physical. This currently dominates public opinion. But this idea can only ever see the effects of ill health.

Homeopathy is based on Quantum physics, which is concerned with the invisible (and so often ignored) energy behind every form of life. This means the cause of illness can be seen by observers open to this idea.

Our past is littered with forward thinkers who were spurned in their lifetime, their efforts only being recognised of value decades, even centuries after their death, when thought patterns had changed.

Constantine Hering was the father of homeopathy in America. He was born in Germany in 1800 and migrated to the US in the 1830s. He first approached homeopathy as a debunker, having been asked by his medical colleagues to write a paper condemning it. His research led him to become one of homeopathy`s most ardent supporters. His enthusiasm grew so much he became a fanatic. He went about the country, getting on tables to speak enthusiastically about homeopathy.

Another skeptic who later became one of the greatest homeopaths was James Compton Burnett. He was a British homeopath in the late 1800s, and he was among the first to notice that vaccines trigger chronic disease.

He ultimately wrote 24 books on homeopathy. He likened his own conversion experience to that of St Paul on the road to Damascus: "I instantly resolved to fight the good fight of homeopathy with all the power I possess. Were I to do less, I should be afraid to die."

A single homeopathic medicine converts a skeptical doctor

(NaturalNews) James Compton Burnett (1840 - 1901) is one of the big names in homoeopathy. His practice was legendary, with more patients than most doctors can manage, let alone homoeopaths (who take much longer to assess their patients). He took copious notes and his case studies of successfully treated people are still available. But he wasn't always passionate about homeopathy. At one time, he was a highly skeptical doctor.

It all started on a dull, dreary afternoon when he was on duty in the hospital, writing death certificates. He suddenly felt, for the umpteenth time, a great dissatisfaction of his clinical results. A young waif, Georgie, had died. He didn't have a home, so the hospital has taken him in. He had just died of pleurisy.

That evening, Burnett poured out his troubles to a friend. He was contemplating leaving medicine and England and traveling to America to farm.

Somehow his friend persuaded him to study homoeopathy first.

But Burnett was highly skeptical. He didn't feel there was any chance he could become a homeopath. So he decided to study it to expose it as a lying sham. At least that would get him peer approval.

At some early stage in his studies, he decided to conduct an experiment on his wards, to prove his point. He put a few drops of an indicated remedy in a large bottle of water and gave it to the nurse of the children's ward with instructions to give it to all the children on one side of the ward, but not to those on the other side. Those on the other side were to be treated normally.

The next morning he discovered that all the children, who had been treated homeopathically, were free from fever and playing on their beds. Those on the other side were the same or worse.

And so it went on day after day. He was simply dumbfounded and couldn't accept what was happening.

Eventually, it was a nurse who made him see what was apparent to everyone else. He was unable to do his usual rounds for two days. On returning to the hospital, the nurse of the children's ward seemed rather quiet.

She informed Burnett that all the children were well and could be dismissed.

On further enquiry, the nurse explained:

"Well, doctor, I gave your medicine to all the children. I had not the heart to see you go on with your cruel experiments any longer. You are like all the young doctors that come here - you are only trying experiments."

History is littered with other doctors who were skeptical of homeopathy, decided to study it to expose it, and ended up passionate converts.

When the indicated homeopathic medicine is used appropriately, great results can be expected.
