Funny you mention this here, that's exactly what I thought when I read it, "they'd need a remedy that would fit both aspects." Of course,
I am a homeopath, and that's the way I think, but it is interesting to see how people tend to split everyhting, while we are a unity.
Homeopathy sees the totality of the person to be treated, not physicals vs. mental or emotionals, just like unschooling sees the learning
process as a whole.

Homeopaths would say that you can't treat a physical symptom without
treating the psychological symptom too. They're both related.

Yol:

Yes, that's the true beauty of homeopathy. It treats the trauma and
the physical condition simultaneously. Good to know there are other
homeopaths on this list. I often hestitate to bring up homeopathy
because it is so unknown to most Americans. It was/is very common
where I lived for 27 years, as it is all around the rest of the
world, but not where we are living now, the seat of conservatism in
Ohio.

If only more people knew more about it, so many problems, like those
who get labeled as ADD or ADHD, or autistic, or those suffering from
so many chronic complaints, could find gentle, safe relief.

Ohio has very repressive laws regarding the practice of homeopathy.
I'm sure it's not the only place, but the only one where I've lived.
The conservatism here is to preserve the status quo, keep the medical
monopoly going. Too bad. But unless the public demands it the
government is not about to change it.

Basically in Ohio no one can practice medicine unless they are an M.
D., or equivalent (D. O., for example) period. It is considered to
be "practicing medicine without a license" and the local medical
societies do initiate prosecutorial action regularly. Funny how a
really bad M. D. is almost impossible to get rid of, but they will
attack with a vengeance anyone not in the "club."

That's the good old boys medical monopoly that has dominated this
country since the Flexner Report in 1910 which was used to
conveniently support the move by the AMA to corner the market on the
American medical business. This was one of the most
successful "closed union" coups, in terms of dollars, in American
history.

Even though homeopathy has continued to thrive and develop around the
rest of the world, especially in countries like the UK, France,
Germany, Belgium, Australia and New Zealand, and even more so in
India, the fall-out from the well-timed Flexner report has severely
crippled homeopathy in this country. Some states have more liberal
laws and some recently have started to change their laws to
accommodate alternative practitioners. I have always lived in those
other more liberal states. So coming to Ohio has been a real
hardship for my family. But we are only here for a few more years at
the most, so I will survive.

In general I find people here, at least in the Cincinnati area, are
very traditional about medicine, and very gullible, believing
everything that the AMA and its various government arms (FDA, CDC,
NIH, NIMH, etc.) tell them. They will look me right in the eye and
tell me that if homeopathy really worked then they know that their
doctor would be suggesting it for them. Okay. At 57 I am old enough
to know better than to argue with them. But having been a
practitioner for more than 30 years I guess I would have to discount
everything that I have seen, studied, researched, learned for the
past 30 plus years to accept that kind of argument.

Norma,
If you have any recommendations, Could you send some links about becoming a
homeopath? Particularly distance learning.
