Kirt.
Perhaps I over reacted. When I see something work hundreds of times with
people, I get very frustrated thatpeople still call it "placebo".

Let me relate just one recent case: Two weeks ago at my weekly Rotary
meeting, our club president was complaining about eye pain. It got
progressively worse as the meeting continued, to the point that she
could not finish the meeting. Her left eye became very red and swollen
and extremely painful.

She had a similar problem 2 yrs prior that had her bedridden for 3 wks..
Even the Kresge Eye Institute was stumped.  Needless to say she became
very upset. Since she couldn't drive, I took her back to my office where
she called a friend to pick her up.  She is a psychologist and very
medically oriented. She does not "believe" in homeopathy. I gave her
some Rescue Remedy and that calmed her down immediately.
I then gave her a dose of Euphrasia just before she left the office. Her
friend called 10 minutes later from the car phone to tell me that it was
already better!

No drugs,  no expense, but most of all, she was spared weeks of pain and
many dollars.  I would not call this a placebo effect.

In the rest of the world, homeopathy is excepted and covered under most
health plans. There are seven MD staffed homeopathic hospitals in London
alone. In this country, it seems that, with most people have never heard
of it. I see it work effectively, almost daily. I am not a kook or wacko
(I don't think),  but, I am least smart enough and compassionate enough
to not discount this healing modality because of someone else's
prejudice.

When it comes to Biodynamic farming, I would suggest reading "Secrets of
the Soil". Again, it would seem the rest of the world is far ahead of us
in understanding its importance.

I would like to apologize to the list and to S.B.. for the demeanor of
my earlier post.
