    Posted on February 22, 2012 by

    One of the most remarkable homeopathic consultations that I have ever experienced was of a woman who was a panther. With a long history of extreme mood swings, periods of deep physical lethargy and a few other relatively minor complaints, the conventional medical diagnosis bestowed on her was ‘bipolar disorder’. She was medicated accordingly. But [...]

  • A Noble Laureate Weighs In

    Posted on February 22, 2012 by

    Nothing raises the hackles of homeopathic disbelievers more than the way in which the medicines are made.

  • A Week In Kolkata

    Posted on February 8, 2012 by

    I flew into Kolkata (what used to be known as Calcutta) not really knowing what to expect – of the city itself or the people and place I had arranged to visit. The former had a reputation as the soulful, cultural heart of India, filled with the ramshackle architectural beauty, elegant buildings, and teeming slums; [...]

  • Alan Yurko

    Posted on February 8, 2012 by

    This past week I received an email from a prisoner at a Florida correctional institution. Accused of ?Shaken Baby Syndrome?, that is shaking his own infant son, ?Baby Alan?, to death, Alan Yurko is serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole. But Yurko insists that the true cause of death was a vaccination [...]

    One of the basic differences between cancer cells and normal healthy ones is their relationship to oxygen. Cancer cells lack oxygen. They are ‘anaerobic’, meaning that they require an absence of free oxygen to survive. On the other hand, normal cells are ‘aerobic, that is, they need oxygen in order to live and grow. Put [...]

    Regular readers of this column might be aware that over the last number of years I have been making annual trips to India in order to pursue continuing studies of homeopathy.

  • Aspartame – aka Nutrasweet, Equal

    Posted on February 8, 2012 by

    Although our attention may currently be more focused on the possibility of becoming infected with anthrax or smallpox, I was recently given a forceful reminder about the consequences of the widespread dissemination of another toxic substance throughout our public domain. A woman we’ll call Sherry had come to see me for chronic back and hip [...]

  • Back From Mumbai – Recent Trends In Homeopathy

    Posted on February 8, 2012 by

    Back from Mumbai 17 years it took for me to get back there. And, from the moment of arrival, engulfed by the fetid smells and damp heat of the city, I started to ask myself, “Why did I wait so long?” It felt like I had come home. It is said that a visitor either [...]
