It's 2017... Now Let's Get to Work!

Happy New Year! As some of you might have noticed, I've cut back considerably in my writing of the newsletter over the past year or so. In fact, there hasn't been one released since the September/October issue. The reason: I've been absorbed with other things in my life, and I'm also trying to let go of my (former) tendency to be an "over-achiever" who compulsively gets everything done on time. I believe I've made great progress!

However, in 2017, I intend to send something to you a bit more often, hopefully once a month, even if it's a bit less meaty or simply includes links to interesting things that have come my way. Along these lines, this issue will include important information written by homeopaths Dana Ullman and Richard Moskowitz.

I know that many in the world are greeting 2017 with trepidation. The upcoming Trump presidency will have an uncertain impact on not only the United States, but the entire world. Many people I know personally are filled with fear for the imminent collapse of the USA they hold dear. Since my son Izaak lives and works in Australia, I am well aware that many nations around the world are also nervous about the likely end of "Pax Americana" and what it might mean. Others in the autism community have supported Trump out of the hope that he will finally stand up to Big Pharma and its growing vaccine mandates.

For my part, I am trying to stay out of negativity and getting sucked into endless hysterical Facebook posts, media rants, and fear-mongering. For one thing, what does fear, anger, and bitterness accomplish? It certainly negatively impacts my health and peace of mind. True, I don't want to be an ostrich with my head buried in the sand, but that is hardly possible. The news invariably finds its way to me, even if I don't actively become obsessed with it.

No, what I can do is work for positive change in a positive way. Yes, there are things that we must work against. The ongoing attacks against homeopathy are one of them. But one thing I have learned over the years is that promoting awareness of the power of homeopathy goes much further than fighting against the forces that seek to squash it. Working for is more effective that working against.That is one of the reasons I wrote Impossible Cure the way I did. It aims to make people aware of the true history and power of homeopathy, by revealing personal stories, scientific results, and buried historical facts. People want and need healing, so they will come to homeopathy if they know about it and it is right for them. In the political sphere, people want and need love, peace, and justice. In the end, truth and love will win. As John Lennon said, "Love is the answer."

In past issues of the newsletter, I have mentioned the various recent FDA hearings about homeopathic medicines. In Impossible Cure (Chapter 10), I point out that one of the legs upon which homeopathy and health freedom stand is access to remedies. Big Pharma certainly knows this. Indeed, as I have pointed out in past writing, general awareness of the power of potentized medicines -- including potentized allopathic medicines -- would undermine Big Pharma completely because medications would cost next to nothing.

The truth is, the FDA hearings, and now, a new ruling by the FTC about labeling of homeopathic medicines, are the latest in the 200 year battle between conventional and homeopathic medicine. Dana Ullman writes eloquently about this topic in his latest article that has been run in a number of venues including the Huffington Post and GreenMedInfo.. Perhaps the most ludicrous and telling aspect of the FTC ruling is that it requires remedy labels to state that homeopathy was developed in the 1700s -- when it was actually developed in the 1800s! That has actually been my experience: the quackbusters who attack homeopathy usually know almost nothing about it, getting basic facts wrong and often misspelling words in their writing.

So what can you do to promote homeopathy in 2017 in a positive way? Keep using it! Keep telling all your friends about it! It is people's positive experiences of homeopathic healing that have kept homeopathy alive for all these years, despite unending attacks. I have every confidence this will continue to be the case. Yes, there will be bad times. Yes, the world and the USA may be entering into a difficult period. But the cycle of life continues. Remember:

Out of the darkness, light emerges and positive changes are born. Stay tuned into that positive hope and intention, because it is an important factor -- perhaps the most important factor -- in the creation of a better future.

An Excerpt from Richard Moskowitz's New Book on Vaccination

Boston homeopath and family medicine doctor, Richard Moskowitz, MD, has always been an important writer in the area of health, homeopathy, and vaccination. He has written a new book that will appear in 2017, and has been sharing a series of book excerpts with the homeopathic community. I have asked and been granted his permission to share them with you too. Enjoy!

From the Introduction.

"I want to invite my readers to think very carefully about vaccines and our present policy regarding them, not least because the concerns of parents who decide not to vaccinate are so rarely acknowledged or taken seriously. As a family physician who has cared for many such children over the years, I cannot keep silent about the major epidemic of vaccine-related suffering and disability, sufficient to break any heart, that continues unabated, remains largely unacknowledged, and cries out at the very least for caution, restraint, and simple compassion for the viewpoint of those whose lived experience, whatever may have caused it, is so tragically different from that of everyone else privileged enough to be ignorant of or somehow unmoved by their loss...

In what follows, I make no claim to absolute truth or final answers. I am a family doctor, not a research scientist, and at bottom I am trying simply to make sense of my own clinical experience. What I offer is an ensemble of observed facts, clinical and basic science research, news reports from the media, actual cases from my practice, and such reflections and hypotheses as have occurred to me and other colleagues in the field to try to explain and integrate them. My aim is to provide an overview of the subject that will be accessible to a general literate audience, regardless of scientific training or background. I will feel well rewarded if my words, my reasoning, and the commingled sadness, fear, and outrage I have long felt about this subject will help to promote a healthy debate, and to elicit more of the rigorous scientific work that still needs to be done.

I write with some sense of urgency, because the time-honored rights of patients to refuse unwanted medical treatment and of parents to make such decisions on behalf of their children are now being challenged as never before. I am not a teetotaler who rejects all vaccines under all circumstances. The essence of my position is simply that vaccines by their very nature have a major downside that has largely been ignored and indeed is built into their design, so that it is reckless in the extreme to continue mandating them, and indeed more and more of them without limit, until these dangers are taken seriously, understood in a broader context, and assessed in a more careful and systematic fashion..."
