As usual, an excellent article, Dana. Its too bad that the Wikipedia folks consider all energy medicine to be snake oil, including acupuncture and traditional chiropractic. I think profits on pharmaceuticals are getting in the way of medical advancements. Anyway, I always knew that the reason I get lost in New York City, but not in the countryside, is that those tall buildings disturb the magnetic fields of force. The nose knows!

Wikipedia is controlled content, which sadly many don't realise.

According to the Washington Post, the TWO most controversial sites on Wikipedia are JESUS CHRIST and HOMEOPATHY! Big Pharma and its many shills protect it from presenting any positive scientific studies...and there are MANY!

Yep, true healing and health (including spiritual) are the biggest a threat to Big pHarma-public health- industrial "healthcare" model.

Taking responsibility for one's health is shunned - go seek a "licenced" doctor...funnel them back into the sickness system.

Homeopathy is clearly a huge threat, 'cos it works.

The FDA has concluded that homeopathy does not work, and has limited further the availability of remedies in the U.S.

I read the article. It is significant that one of the committee members had a conflict of interest and is on anti-homeopathic lobbying groups. So, the Australian study is meaningless. There was reference that efficacy was found in five conditions. However, as a medical modality it is designed to address all conditions, we still need high quality studies to confirm efficacy. Great theories are not enough. Again, knowing mechanism of action is vital otherwise it can be attributed to placebo.

I use homeopathic medicine, so I am not denigrating the modality. However, I have a problem from a scientific perspective with Hahnemann's miasmatic theory which was theorized pre genetics, immunology etc....Also, I am unsure if the cures are not a result of placebo. I listened to Roger McFillin and a surgeon Ian Harris from Australia last week who wrote a book called 'Surgery the ultimate placebo', in the interview he did reference homeopathic cure as placebo based. Hard to know, I err on the side of caution and use homeopathy over suppressive crude drugs, which are on occasion needed, as in anesthetics for surgery. I convinced a relative to come off Bp medication and go to the homeopathic doctor and sadly after six years my relative went into heart failure and had to take western medicine. I feel guilty and my relative now believes homeopathy is voodoo, can't blame him. I too am uncertain.

Actually, whenever anyone suggests that homeopathic medicines may be acting as a placebo, I generally assume that they have not received good homeopathic prescribing. The fact that you are confused about miasms also suggests that you are inadequately educated about homeopathy. Don't take this in a negative way. You are like a lot of well-intentioned people who simply lack education and experience. It sounds like you'll benefit from seeking professional homeopathic care. Good luck to you on that. As for your relative, what makes you think that your relative would not have had heart failure even earlier if s/he didn't get homeopathic treatment?

Being also a clergyperson, albeit a bit of a heretic when it comes to conventional dogma (I prefer the take of the members of the Jesus Seminar and the Maryknoll Fathers), I would love to see what Wikipedia thinks of Jesus....

It is amusing to see the mainstream news media not quite able to grok (and disounting any beneift of) the round bruises on swimmer's bodies at the Olympics, given that the internet was supposed to give us acces to knowledge from around the world, yet we still don't understand meridians. Thank you for your work

I'm thinking it could also be described as bio informational medicine, the informational therapies that direct the vital processes.

Thank you for the excellent synopsis. Energy medicine is indeed the future of medicine, but its popularization will be retarded and hindered by the powers that (shouldn’t)be, ie pharma and those attached to it as beneficiaries or using it as a tool. But that’s always the pattern for progress, it progresses despite, not thanks to, people in power.

your article inspired me to write this:

Increasing Cancers in Millennials & GenX? Olympic Bruises & the Need for EMF Science Diplomacy with China & Russia

“The consequences are profound if the American Cancer Society and others are getting it wrong regarding the dramatic increase in cancer in young people.”

Thank you

Interesting article...but I am not clear how or why you chose to ignore the increasing body of evidence that the COVID vaccines (!) have led to a huge increase in "turbo cancers," extremely fast-moving cancers. Further, heart ailments from the vaccine seems to be influencing athletes more than others...and such heart problems can manifest not only in heart ailments but in immunological disorders that can lead to many ailments, including cancers.

Thanks so much for reading Dana, I follow the other issues, but especially as a layperson and not a health expert, my focus in on the EMF/RF issues, which I hope won’t be obscured by multiple stressors, including vax concerns. There are many other writers and researchers speaking on Covid, and not much that I could add, but not as much conversation that implies that there is an issue with tech, including cellphones. Thanks for all you do.
