NCCAM Senior Staff Makes Negative Comments about Homeopathy

[Guest guest]

Many people involved in complementary and alternative medicine have long been

concerned that the staff of the National Institute's of Health's National Center

for Complementary and Alternative Medicine are really not supportive of

complementary therapies at all. The previous director, Dr. Steven Strauss, who

passed away in 2007 from brain cancer, was quoted in the New York times shortly

after taking the position as saying that he had never used an alternative

therapy.

 

On Friday the NIH Director announced the appointment of a new Director,

someone who has no apparent history in the field, but has a significant and

respected research career at the NIH and the Howard Hughes Research Institute.

 

The below quote a senior NCCAM staff member in a Newsweek story about a

Connecticut physician under investigation for treating a dying cancer patient is

disturbing and should not be ignored by the community itself. It points to a

closed mindedness about a leading therapy and/or a lack of real knowledge in the

field.

Dr. Jack Killen, acting deputy director of the National Center for

Complementary and Alternative Medicine, says homeopathy " goes beyond current

understanding of chemistry and physics. " He adds: " There is, to my knowledge, no

condition for which homeopathy has been proven to be an effective treatment. "

 

 

(Before NCCAM, Dr. Killen was at the Division of AIDS in NIAID)

Living organisms are more than just chemistry and physics. The

frontier in science, and especially in physics, has demonstrated that

the world obeys bizarre laws that are non-local and allow particles to

share information across vast distances.

 

Not to belabor the topic, but standard " halopathic " medicine has

fallen short in being able to treat many deseases and conditions,

making patients depend on high doses of highly processed chemicals

with unknown or even dangerous side-effects.

 

Homeopathy treats people as a dynamic system of parts, physical and

non-physical (mental & emotional), and applies the laws of Similars to

find the specific signature of a condition for a given individual. It

is precise, holistic, and based on actual phenomenology of the disease

on various levels, not only physical and chemical. Homeopathy treats

the whole set of symptoms and uses information produced from the

interview to find the right remedy.

 

Once a remedy has been taken, the effects are carefully recorded and

followed up, in order to purify and adjust the remedy and doseage to

cure the disease, not just to supress the symptoms. The biological

laws that homeopathic treatment applies follows Arndt-Schultz's law of

biological stimulation and homeostatic equilibrium.
