I also went to college to be a public school teacher and had never heard of John Dewey until we decided to homeschool. Our country's school system is built on the beliefs of an atheist but most parents have no idea of its origins when they send their kids to school.
We could instead discuss the work of Dr. Schuessler (which I also study) who developed a similar system to homeopathy using similar preparation practices and get to the same place without the occult influence.
For the diabetes: I'm trained clinically and the approach is a little different than some other homeopaths. I would first find out if there are prominent symptoms. Like sugar cravings and blood sugar imbalances can be helped with the remedy Phosphorus, and liver/pancreas issues can be helped with Taraxicum. They could take a remedy regularly to help prevent issues and possibly reverse the diabetes or they could take it whenever they experience discomfort, much like one would take Tylenol for pain relief. Did you need a consultation? ;) I'm joking, this has been exhausting. I need to go back to lurking instead of commenting :D
Ok, that book above is definitely occultic. And I'd be lying to you and myself if I didn't admit that a large majority of the people in to homeopathy also have strange religious beliefs. But there are also books like the following that show that homeopathy in and of itself does not work because of evil spirits but because of actual science. (I own this one and have to read it very slowly because I don't have a science background.) https://homeopathic.com/product/the-emerging-science-of-homeopathy-complexity-biodynamics-and-nanopharmacology-4/
I use the concept of "like cures like" and I use the dilution process to make my remedies. Those are scientific concepts that define homeopathy. "Healing the soul" and playing with the vital force are marks of a religion that some people combine with homeopathic practices.
I have a feeling we are creating confusion with each other because we're using words in different ways. My homeopathic training had NO spiritual aspects involved at all, we weren't even required to read Hahnemann's works. It was all about observation techniques, memorizing of remedies (there are hundreds) and learning pharmacology. And other sciences like anatomy and physiology.
I'm about halfway through this video, I have to go tend to my children soon, but I noticed some points that I want to address so far. First, everything so far has been mostly anecdotal about how homeopathy "doesn't work" or that it's all placebo. There have been actual studies done on this and that deserves some attention https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20129180/
He also cites a Vatican statement in his intro, which I think we can agree is not a solid source.
She is talking about Hahnemann's involvement in freemasonry and how he explains that homeopathy works. I don't believe that Hahnemann's explanations of HOW it works are accurate, and "science" has developed a much better understanding of how it actually works. Many forms of healing have been explained using the spiritual world before there was an understanding of how they work. My Christian chiropractor told me that chiropractic care was considered witchcraft just 100 years ago, because it works on the nervous system (which is how homeopathy works, by the way), and people couldn't explain it any other way. Dr. Ullman is really great when it comes to real homeopathic research if you want to check it out. https://homeopathic.com/category/homeopathic-research/
The principles of dilution were also developed by those other than Hahnemann. Dr. Schuessler is an example of this. He was a chemist and a physicist who discovered a similar thing in his science lab through scientific means. What he developed is also considered homeopathy. https://schuessler-cell-salts.com/biography/index.htm
And just to address some of the priest's anecdotal info... The story about the holy water making ALL of that homeopath's remedies ineffective does not make sense to me. A part of that story is missing. There is no way to test the effectiveness outside of a homeopathic pharmacy for hundreds (or thousands) of remedies that the homeopath would have on hand. There's no sure way of knowing that every single one of his remedies had indeed been made ineffective.
My last point so far has to do with what I suppose is a differing in theology between you and me. If I were to disregard every single advancement made in society or science (or whatever) that was initiated or founded by a pagan (a non-Christian), then I would have very slim resources at my disposal. And if that's the stance that a Christian is taking, then no Christian should ever take a pharmaceutical put out by Big Pharma or a single vaccine (not just the new jabs) as they are all tied to pagan scientists and developed and promoted by what I now believe is the Deep State. That logic would also prevent any Christian from utilizing the public school system, as it was created by John Dewey who was vocal about his denial of the truth of the Word of God. https://teachdiligently.com/articles/john-dewey-secular-humanism-public-education
Anyway, I'm happy to have civil discussions - I don't really appreciate being accused of spouting "garbage" when I've done my own research into this topic. Also, I can say without a doubt that I have not "lost my salvation" (as the priest stated) because of my use of homeopathy (not naturopathy). In fact, because I am healthier through the use of homeopathy and no longer dependent on Big Pharma to get through my days, I believe I have more energy and efficacy for serving Christ than when I was sick 8 years ago.
And to make sure I address your question: The remedies that I am making from wildcrafting are indeed considered homeopathy NOT naturopathy. There is a reproducible, scientific method used when I'm making a remedy. No funny business involved.
As a conservative Christian homeopath I have to reply to this. The occult/pagan idea is a lie fabricated to create division and deter people from using it. I can make my own homeopathic remedies just the same as I can make an herbal extract from wildcrafting in my backyard. No woo-woo rituals or satanic arts involved.
Cell salts are a result of the work of Dr. Schuessler, the dude I love to study. He developed them independent of Hahnemann but used the same dilution process to turn minerals into "homeopathic" remedies. The idea is that you pick the cell salt based on your mineral deficiencies which can be observed through certain symptoms.
That YouTube channel seems to cover the facial indicators of deficiencies. Schuessler didn't develop the facial analysis but those observable symptoms are often used to help pick cell salts. I like studying cell salts as there's only 12 as opposed to hundreds of remedies and you can take them more freely - we all likely have deficiencies in all the minerals so you don't have to be so exact with picking one. Often any given person can take Silica 6X and see benefits rather quickly.
