It was a couple years ago that we left the first doctor, but she might have brought up that my kids would be a risk to other kids in the practice... However it does make me more confident that I may be able to push forward and expect decent care despite our statuses. I found myself really intimidated at a recent ER visit with one of my children because they were really pushing questions about vaccines in general. It always feels somewhat unsafe these days to answer questions about it. But my children are generally healthy and I only really need the doctors if they get really sick or injured. <br /><br />Thank you for looking into the herbal books...

I find it increasingly...Thank you for the response! I find it increasingly hard to sort out what is good and bad these days in regard to health. I just keep asking Our Lady to guide me to the truths that I need. We converted from Novus Ordo almost 3 years ago now, and I'm still constantly trying to learn. I sort of hated to find out something might be wrong with what I thought I had found to be good medically, especially because it means more research, again! As Traditional Catholics, I guess we have to get good at constant research. <br />As to your points, <br />1. I recently tuned into a training on using herbal remedies for the family and the suggestion was to use something like Rosemary Gladstar's books but to pair them with the Materia Medica so that you always do your due diligence with a recipe to make sure the items in the mixes are safe for your needs. My plan was to buy both of those books and start to grow herbs and prepare some simple remedies this year to keep on hand. I would love to know if you have come across more trustworthy sources in your own research. It's so hard to figure it out in the world of endless publishing! I also know some people who push Dr. Christopher's work as being good, but others question it. <br />I remember reading sometime a year or so ago that St. Hildegard of Bingen had written books about medicine and was curious to read them, though haven't yet. Have you looked into that work at all? I know it's hard to figure out what is scientifically good or not sometimes with the older writings. I also have concerns with some modern medicine practices, especially after learning about the smear campaigns doctors did to try to eradicate midwives. I thought I remembered reading that they did the same with the older style doctors and herbalists as well, but it has been a while so I may have that wrong. <br /><br />2. That's really interesting to know. Our old Dr. told me specifically that she could not have me take my children to her any longer when I wanted to delay and stop some vaccines. She told me she could lose her license for it if she continued to see my children. I had another Dr. strongly push vaccines and corner me about my choice to stop every time we went in, which became exhausting. They treat you a lot differently if you mess with the way they do things. I wonder if it would do any good to report them? Would it be worth telling them first that you will if they refuse treatment? I live in Indiana. As a lawyer, you might know better than I. <br />3. I think the doctor we have now would be sensible enough to give me alternatives to the homeopathics if I chose not to use them. She is very good at working with what I can do, but is technically a Naturopathic Dr... She is in a practice with some Chiropractors (any ideas on if they're safe morally?) and only recommends the homeopathics as part of the treatments. She is common sense about everything that I've seen (homemade bone broths, vitamins, probiotics, rest, monitoring sickness and not over-reacting, etc.). She is confident that she can help me treat any illnesses that I've chosen not to vaccinate against, so I have had peace of mind with that. <br />I am starting to read the book by Steven Ransom mentioned by another commenter. I understand that even the idea of a Naturopathic Dr might not be great, but I struggle with the fact that she claims to be a Christian (although Protestant, so I know that isn't worth much) and is not someone to shun modern day medicine. She has never told me that it's bad or anything like that, in fact, she has repeatedly told me that it has it's place and to not be afraid to use Doctors. She has friends who are modern doctors and doesn't seem bothered by it. She doesn't give any of the creepy mumbo jumbo that you often hear of these people. I have always had a natural disgust for anything that seemed cooky or iffy spiritually (yoga, reiki etc) so I thought I was doing alright here. I'd love anything you might have for further reading as I research more. <br />Thank you for your prayers, I will be praying for you as well.

The book is not per se evil, but it is based on mere observation, not done under strict scientific scrutiny. There are many books that can give you information on the medicinal use of plants that are not homeopathic.<br /><br />2. In the U.S. NO DOCTOR can force you to get vaxxed. You can refuse on moral grounds and/or religious grounds. If the doctor refuses treatment, report his license to the State in which you live. <br /><br />3. Herbal remedies are not homeopathic.

I hope you're still reading comments here....Hi! I hope you're still reading comments here. I've just come over from listening to your podcast with Kevin on Make-Believe Friends. It was very good and informative. I've had to stop listening to some of the other ones like music because I'm a bit sensitive I suppose, and those things scare me. But your research seems to be very well done and I appreciate all that you present on the podcast. Thank you for doing them! <br /><br />With that said, I have to admit that I'm kind of heartbroken about this topic because I recently had to transition to a different doctor for my children because All of my local doctors force vaccines. I have absolutely loved this doctor. She has been very common sense and practical in her medical advice, and has never acted cooky or spiritually weird in any way. One of the things that she does suggest though, is the use of homeopathic medicines. I actually have seen Belladonna bring my child's fever down in about 20 minutes many times. I don't claim that all homeopathics work, but I have found a handful of a few that have helped symptoms in my family. I had no idea about the origin of them in the first place. I actually just thought that they kind of activated the body into a sort of immune response to help the body to heal faster. I have been able to eliminate using acetaminophen and ibuprofen which I have some concerns about their side effects, so now I feel kind of stuck because I'm going to have to research what to do instead now again. I guess because the ones that I have been using came from plants, I really felt like they would be included in what God gave us to heal our bodies with. I'm a little bit confused still and frustrated, because of course I don't want to harm my children's souls in any way, but I also don't have alternatives right now that I feel comfortable with using for bodily healing... I am looking into collecting herbs and such but I haven't gotten too far with that yet. In your writing above you mentioned the Materia Medica. To my understanding that was just a book explaining what different plants do. Are you suggesting that it too is evil? I'd just like some clarity here.

The citations as to the occult use of homeopathy is in <br />my post above:<br />alopsis.gr/afieroma/af-homeopathy-examined-h-j-bopp-m-d-neuchatel-switzerland<br /><br /> One biographer says, “The reverence for Eastern thought was not just Hahnemann’s personal hobby, but rather the fundamental philosophy behind the preparation of homeopathic remedies” (See Samuel Pfeifer, Healing at Any Price, [1988], p. 68). He was a follower of Emanuel Swedenborg, who taught his followers to enter an alternative state of consciousness in order to commune with spirits. Hahnemann called the occultic practices of Franz Mesmer “a marvelous, priceless gift of God” by which “the vital energy of the healthy mesmerizer endowed with this power [can be brought] into another person dynamically” (See Organon of Medicine, 6th edition, pp. 309, 311). Hahnemann held to the panentheist view that God is in all things, like the soul is in the body.<br /><br />5. How do I know that medicine helped my mother? When I eliminate variables, it makes sense, and more importantly science supports the medicine with double blind studies, clinical trials, etc. All the literature has a scientific consensus. Food is worse than ever before, the air is more polluted, there is more overall stress, yet people are living longer, healthier lives than before. It's not due to everyone using homeopathy. I can therefore attribute it to the advances made by modern medicine.<br /><br />6. Not everything is using fetal cells. You cannot make something BASED ON OCCULT IDEAS holy or "neutral" by the use of Holy Water or having it blessed. That's an exercise in futility, akin to putting Holy Water on the Satanic Bible before you read it and thinking you will be protected from what you read.<br /><br />God Bless,<br /><br />---Introibo<br />Introibo Ad Altare Deihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377479441601352059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466183320330735196.post-74394794139470829782023-01-25T19:08:45.044-08:002023-01-25T19:08:45.044-08:00@anon5:57
1. As I wrote above:
About 200 clinical...@anon5:57<br /><br />1. As I wrote above:<br />About 200 clinical studies of homeopathic remedies are available to date. With that sort of number, one cannot be surprised that the results are not entirely uniform. It would be easy to cherry pick and select those findings that one happens to like (and some homeopaths do exactly that). Yet, if we want to know the truth, we need to consider the totality of this evidence and weigh it according to its scientific rigor. This approach is called a systematic review. Over a dozen systematic reviews of homeopathy have been published. Almost uniformly, they come to the conclusion that homeopathic remedies are not different from placebo. As one study puts it:<br />"Through the laws of physics, homeopathic medicines appear to have zero chance of containing any biologically active component. Evidence from physical chemistry also rules out the plausibility of mechanisms such as water memory."<br />(See onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.2042-7166.2012.01162.x).<br /><br />2. The methods of homeopathy are based on absurd ideas. Read Hahnemann and check my cites. He claims homeopathic substances release their vital force, power, or cosmic energy and become increasingly powerful as they are diluted and shaken. They are most powerful when the original substance (the medicine) has completely disappeared. Hahnemann remarked, “Modern wiseacres have even sneered at the thirtieth potency… [but] we obtain, even in the fiftieth potency, medicines of the most penetrating efficacy. (See Samuel Hahnemann, The Chronic Diseases, Their Peculiar Nature and Their Homeopathic Cure—Theoretical Part, trans., Louis H. Tafel [1976], p. 19). How powerful are homeopathic medicines that do not have even a single molecule of the remedy in them? Incredibly, Hahnemann referred to the “infallibility” of homeopathy “laid before the eyes of the world through facts… [e.g.,] typhous contagious epidemics must now allow themselves to be speedily turned into health by a few small doses of rightly-selected homeopathic medicine.” (See Ibid., p. 26). Unfortunately, typhous and other contagious epidemics are still with us. All diseases that have been eradicated were not defeated by homeopathy, but by scientific medicine. Hahnemann’s prediction failed to materialize because homeopathic substances are not medicines and they have no curing powers. Outside of homeopathic circles, no evidence exists that substances become more powerful by dilution and shaking. The sciences of chemistry and pharmacology (as well as basic logic) teach the exact opposite—that the more diluted a substance, the weaker it becomes.<br /><br />3. As to Ben Franklin there's a difference between being a Mason and making something based on true scientific principles (light bulb) and that which itself is based on occult principles ("vital force") As Hannemann himself wrote, "It’s only when the vital principle is troubled by a diseased element (that is to say by the intrinsic nature of a virus in the form of incorporeal substance) that it emits reactions and symptoms of disease" A virus with an "incorporeal substance"? <br /><br />(Continued below)Introibo Ad Altare Deihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377479441601352059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466183320330735196.post-3354837176361678272023-01-25T17:57:08.635-08:002023-01-25T17:57:08.635-08:00To find studies of the efficacy of homeopathy, you...To find studies of the efficacy of homeopathy, you should research the Bannerji Protocols, the largest collection of scientific case studies of patients using homeopathy.<br /><br />I'm also not entirely sure you've researched the methods of homeopathy. For example, digitalis purpurea (foxglove flower), is deadly if you chomp it off the plant and eat it. But in homeopathy it stops a heart attack when take under 30c, 200 or 6x dilution. Digitalis purpurea is the main ingredient in the medicines they'll give you at the ER to restart your heart. Many medicines use similar base ingredients, as someone above said with aspirin and willow bark. Now as to occult practices while making the homeopathy -- where did you find this? Please cite a source. I advise anyone using herbal remedies, homeopathy, essential oils OR allopathic medicine to bless their medicine with holy water first. As Saint Augustine says, we are not culpable for using items used in pagan ceremonies if our will does not assent (ie not knowing that it was), and with the use of Sacramentals to rid them of evil influence, what's the problem? We simply can't know what each company does when making it, just as we can't know if a chef sprinkled a curse item in our food at the local restaurant.<br /><br />Ben Franklin was a Freemason, does that mean I can't turn on the light switch in my house, or I'll get possessed?<br /><br />You seem to scoff at anecdotals, but you mention your mom's use of allopathic drugs. Did that keep her alive, or God's grace? Was it diet? How do you *know*?<br /><br />Lastly, if you get bit by a snake, you'll be given its own trace venom as antidote. That is how homeopathy works. That's what you'd be praying for at the jungle hospital if you got bit on vacation.<br /><br />Lastly, give me homeopathy I've blessed with holy water over abortion derived Big Pharma which more and more is using its fetal cell tests in everything from vaccines to eczema medication.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466183320330735196.post-5969671130726240662023-01-24T06:59:19.595-08:002023-01-24T06:59:19.595-08:00Yes, North Idaho and Spokane are a hotbed of Tradi...Yes, North Idaho and Spokane are a hotbed of Traditional Catholics.

That is a lot of data...https://www.pbhrfindia.org/the-free-clinic/2-about-us.html<br /><br />Reply: About 200 clinical studies of homeopathic remedies are available to date. With that sort of number, one cannot be surprised that the results are not entirely uniform. It would be easy to cherry pick and select those findings that one happens to like (and some homeopaths do exactly that). Yet, if we want to know the truth, we need to consider the totality of this evidence and weigh it according to its scientific rigor. This approach is called a systematic review. Over a dozen systematic reviews of homeopathy have been published. Almost uniformly, they come to the conclusion that homeopathic remedies are not different from placebo. As one study puts it:<br />"Through the laws of physics, homeopathic medicines appear to have zero chance of containing any biologically active component. Evidence from physical chemistry also rules out the plausibility of mechanisms such as water memory." <br />(See onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.2042-7166.2012.01162.x).<br /><br />You write, "Aside from that, I know from experience that homeopathy is not placebo, as I have personally seen it work on babies under a year old and also on animals."<br /><br />Response: Homeopaths frequently claim their magic potions work on infants and animals. This allegedly proves homeopathy is effective, because placebos would not work on babies or dogs. But if such an effect had really been proven, I think everyone would know it. It would have spurred a multi-billion-dollar research program, and homeopathy would have been accepted long ago. For Americans, the discovery of a dramatic new healing power for their infants and pets would hardly go unnoticed. Furthermore, BIG PHARMA and CORPORATE INTEREST would have been secured by the promise of vast profits in the neo-natal industry and veterinarian care. Such a discovery would have caused a public sensation from the implications alone. That's why the claim to work on babies and animals is unproven anecdotal evidence.<br /><br />You write, "In regards to the popes using or not using homeopathy, we may not know the true answer. However, they had 150 years to condemn it, and it was never condemned. It also seems convenient that you think the word "homeopathy" can mean home remedy when it serves a purpose for your argument."<br /><br />Reply: The Church had more than 150 years to explicitly condemn Astrological Medicine, and never did. Maybe that's because astrology is occult and therefore it stands condemned already? Would you really want this person trying to cure you:<br />https://www.astrologyofhealth.com/<br /><br />Finally, you write, "I know at least one valid priest who uses homeopathy and who recommends it to fellow Catholics, and I find it to hard to believe that anyone would take your word over a priest's."<br /><br />Reply: Arius was a priest. Martin Luther was a priest. Do you think priests can't/don't make mistakes? Can't be evil? <br /><br />God Bless,<br /><br />---IntroiboIntroibo Ad Altare Deihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377479441601352059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466183320330735196.post-51721636653136858892023-01-22T13:35:10.887-08:002023-01-22T13:35:10.887-08:00Michelle,

However, it is also possible that you have misinterpreted the meaning of the term 'vital force' and are taking his organon out of context.

I do hold a Masters in Science Education and know the basics of the scientific method. As a lawyer, I know how to cite references IN CONTEXT. <br /><br />Read Hahnemann and check my cites. He claims homeopathic substances release their vital force, power, or cosmic energy and become increasingly powerful as they are diluted and shaken. They are most powerful when the original substance (the medicine) has completely disappeared. Hahnemann remarked, “Modern wiseacres have even sneered at the thirtieth potency… [but] we obtain, even in the fiftieth potency, medicines of the most penetrating efficacy. (See Samuel Hahnemann, The Chronic Diseases, Their Peculiar Nature and Their Homeopathic Cure—Theoretical Part, trans., Louis H. Tafel [1976], p. 19). How powerful are homeopathic medicines that do not have even a single molecule of the remedy in them? Incredibly, Hahnemann referred to the “infallibility” of homeopathy “laid before the eyes of the world through facts… [e.g.,] typhous contagious epidemics must now allow themselves to be speedily turned into health by a few small doses of rightly-selected homeopathic medicine.” (See Ibid., p. 26). Unfortunately, typhous and other contagious epidemics are still with us. All diseases that have been eradicated were not defeated by homeopathy, but by scientific medicine. Hahnemann’s prediction failed to materialize because homeopathic substances are not medicines and they have no curing powers. Outside of homeopathic circles, no evidence exists that substances become more powerful by dilution and shaking. The sciences of chemistry and pharmacology (as well as basic logic) teach the exact opposite—that the more diluted a substance, the weaker it becomes. <br /><br />2. You write, "You state that the WHO is one of your sources. I am curious if you agree with their stance on Covid 19 and their vaccine advice? https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/covid-19-vaccines/advice"<br /><br />Reply: I don't agree with them on that point. I made it clear that I don't trust Big Pharma as they push pills. That conventional medicine gets some things wrong, CONCEDED; that they get everything wrong, DENIED. I would trust Big Pharma over occult mumbo jumbo telling us a substance is more powerful when it no longer exists. <br /><br />People are living longer, healthier lives despite garbage for food and pollutants around us. This is not due to homeopathy but conventional modern science. <br /><br />(Continued below)<br /><br />Introibo Ad Altare Deihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377479441601352059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466183320330735196.post-56094782256212215202023-01-22T10:36:05.901-08:002023-01-22T10:36:05.901-08:00In regards to Hahnemann being a freemason, I do no...<br />In regards to Hahnemann being a freemason, I do not deny that he was.

Yet, it suffices to say that if homeopathy is based on occult principles (which I have shown in the writings of Hahnemann himself), and the Church HAS condemned occultism--then homeopathy has been condemned, albeit indirectly.<br /><br />In like manner, the Church has no decree explicitly condemning "grand theft of automobiles," yet it is a form of stealing and that HAS been condemned by the Church.<br /><br />God Bless,<br /><br />---IntroiboIntroibo Ad Altare Deihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377479441601352059noreply@blogger.com
