Sometimes I wake up in absolute disbelief that my government is trying to kill me. Other days, it’s just on with the show.
But this is the summer of pure dismal. It rains everyday in many places—here and where loved ones live. I’m of the opinion the bastards control the weather.
The smoke from the Canada fires are bad where I live today and it’s making my mother in Hospice worse because she’s not getting enough oxygen to her brain. She has a lung disease and is dying. The smoke doesn’t help. It makes her delirious.
And word is today that malaria, of all things, is active in Florida and Texas. Gee, what a surprise. Let’s get those red states! Bring on the malaria, boys!
Florida is being punished on a daily basis, with high insurance, skyrocketing housing costs, and now Malaria. Really biblical weather in South Florida this summer where my daughter lives with Noah-like rain and crazy thunder for weeks.
Dengue fever in Peru spreading there from Brazil and Gate’s mosquitos. And I could go on, but you know the news.
I’m just fed up tonight. My brother, who is awake, called, and we were marveling at all the chaos. We decided we just have to be strong every single day. Stay ahead of the blues. Fight to be happy. Carry an umbrella. Sing in the effing rain.
In theory that really sounds great...BUT...the initial dilution is one part substance to 10 parts water/alcohol (1:10 or 1X), or one part to substance to 100 parts water/alcohol (1:100 or 1C) or one part substance to 1,000 parts water/alcohol (1:1000 or 1M). The solution is succussed (shaken or pounded), then a drop of the solution is diluted again 1:10 or 1:100 or 1:1,000. So you can see it is a process...we used to eat seaweed chips so they probably were very good for you...
I was being sarcastic on the dilution theory. The idea of something being more effective because it is even more diluted just doesn't make sense, other than a deadly poison being diluted low enough to prevent the toxic effect. I believe in natural therapies and treatments, but much of the homeopathic theory doesn't make scientific sense.
Ah...I see...but the proof is in the pudding, which means whether or not you believe the law of similars...it still works...and whatever causes a disease cures a disease...whether or not you believe that...
The great thing about alternative medicine is that there is something for everyone...I have used homeopathics for over 41 years so I have lots of experience and success with them...I will say there are other things that work just as well...so I really want people to believe in the things they chose to use...whatever healing technique that may be...
You do realize in all healing it is the body that heals itself...the things we do or take only gives the body the materials it needs to heal. Homeopathics and Essential Oils are vibrational healing techniques...the remedy has an affinity for certain parts of the body that share a vibrational frequency. All healing is really quite complex and miraculous...
So I appreciate your sarcasm but I would venture to say if you actually did some serious study on homeopathics you may find a whole new world of understanding and knowledge is out there...just waiting to be understood...you are only as blind as you choose not to see...
But you do see the insanity of believing that making something even more dilute, to the point of essentially being undetectable, will make it even stronger, right? I believe there are ways to treat different things through different methods, but it seems that some things may be carried to an extreme.
I understand your reticence to accept that concept...there is not agreement in the homeopathic community on the use of the highest potencies...it is based on water memory...which can be debated...But...much healing can be done when you can't quantify something...
Let me give you an example...I use foot reflexology...if you touch certain spots on the foot they correspond to certain areas of the body...which are mapped out on charts. There are corresponding points on our hands and ears...
When you massage a sore point you can feel crystals...the person can feel corresponding pain in the targeted area until the crystals are broken up through massaging that point...
Now...WHY does foot reflexology work? We know if we rub garlic on the foot we can taste it in our mouths...what is the circuit that allows this...what allows foot reflexology to work?
Perhaps the lymph system or such...but it is probably more akin to the Chinese acupressure/acupuncture points that follow/connect meridians in the body...can this circuitry be quantified? NO...but Chinese medicine and acupuncture/acupressure is very effective...again the proof is in the pudding...something transpires that creates healing...so I tend to stick with things where I see results...maybe in time "science" will catch up...
