]]> Comment on Medicine is not an Exact Science so Get Over it by Paul http://freetochoosehealth.wordpress.com/2007/12/02/medicine-is-not-an-exact-science-so-get-over-it/#comment-366 Paul Thu, 20 Aug 2009 01:18:09 +0000 http://freetochoosehealth.wordpress.com/2007/12/02/medicine-is-not-an-exact-science-so-get-over-it/#comment-366 This is just a punt, but upon marriage I presume your husband's immediate environment changed, and that in all likelihood is the most telling factor. Medicine will never investigate this link because it does not bring home the bacon. I also like to double up on the assertion that medicine is definitely not an science. Note that I did not use the qualifier 'exact science'; No, it is not a science period. Anyone who beleives that it is should brush up on the definition of what a science actually is.

]]> Comment on Homeopathy is in the Bible by G.Bocquee http://freetochoosehealth.wordpress.com/2007/12/03/homeopathy-is-in-the-bible/#comment-363 G.Bocquee Sun, 09 Aug 2009 13:39:30 +0000 http://freetochoosehealth.wordpress.com/2007/12/03/homeopathy-is-in-the-bible/#comment-363 Jesus spoke in parable so that only those who had ears to hear would hear. He knew that science would become the god of this world. So, the Bible says that God uses the foolish things of this world to confound the wise. The wise in their own eyes, that is. Yes Indeed, the Homeopathic principle is throughout the Bible. God does use similar things to heal similar things. Anti-venom is used by medical science but God thought of it. Science does not create anything, it only discovers.There are easier examples in the natural world to explain Homeopathy. Spiritual truths, on the other hand, which must be spiritually discerned, cannot be comprehended with the natural mind.Once you are born again you will be able to discern Biblical truths.Here are some examples of the law of similars in nature: fighting fire with fire.Just ask the bushies, it works. Ever fallen off a horse? How do you cure the fear that it causes? simply by getting back on the very same horse.Ask a cow boy, he knows. Group therapies exist for people who have fear of spiders. How does it work? They are made to handle spiders a bit at a time, in a group with a trained supervisor. It takes time but it works.How do you measure that with scientific methods which demand double blind studies? The example I would like to give out of the Bible is this: Man is condemned to death because of sin. So,Jesus took that sin on himself so that we may not be condemned.Hence,the condemnation of Jesus takes away our condemnation, if we accept it.There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ.His condemnation removed our condemnation. Isn't that wonderful? Jesus spoke in parable so that only those who had ears to hear would hear. He knew that science would become the god of this world.

]]> Comment on “Autism is Caused by Conventional Medicine but Homeopaths Can Cure It” by Dorothy http://freetochoosehealth.wordpress.com/2007/11/23/autism-is-caused-by-conventional-medicine-but-homeopaths-can-cure-it/#comment-352 Dorothy Thu, 25 Jun 2009 07:08:29 +0000 http://freetochoosehealth.wordpress.com/2007/11/23/autism-is-caused-by-conventional-medicine-but-homeopaths-can-cure-it/#comment-352 One of the beauty's of Homeopathy is that one doesn't need a "diagnosis", or a "name" for a disease to treat the individual. So statements questioning whether or not the child had Autism are irrelevant. Treatment is based SOLELY on the symptoms that are presenting at the time. And might I remind everyone, that tradional medicine doesn't have all the answers. Take vitamin supplementation for instance. Back in 2002, reversing a long-standing anti-vitamin policy, the Journal of the American Medical Association advised all adults to take at least one multivitamin pill each day. Prior to that, "the last time JAMA made a comprehensive review of vitamins, about 20years ago, it concluded that normal people shouldn't take multivitamins because they were a waste of time and money. People can get all the nutrients they need from their diet, JAMA advised, adding that only pregnant women and chronically sick people may need certain vitamins." Or how about the recent revelation that we DO need our appendix after all. "For generations the appendix has been dismissed as superfluous. Doctors figured it had no function. Surgeons removed them routinely. People live fine without them. And when infected the appendix can turn deadly. It gets inflamed quickly and some people die if it isn’t removed in time. Two years ago, 321,000 Americans were hospitalized with appendicitis, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The function of the appendix seems related to the massive amount of bacteria populating the human digestive system, according to the study in the Journal of Theoretical Biology. There are more bacteria than human cells in the typical body. Most of it is good and helps digest food.
