There is a new attack on homeopathy on the way. This is nothing new, perhaps, but it does raise the question 'Why?'.
The answer is relatively simple. So-called 'Quackbusters', and organisations like 'Sense about Science' speak for so-called 'scientific' medicine, based on Pharmaceutical drugs. They support hugely powerful vested interests, and they do so in the name of 'science'.
However, how scientific are they? Let us use an analogy to describe what they do. It is well known in the game of cricket that bowlers can get the cricket ball to 'swing' after it is bowled. Every cricketer knows this.
Good swing bowlers have learnt how to swing the ball, both ways, and use the technique to get batsmen out. A bad swing bowler would be someone who observed the swing, but stated that there was no scientific evidence to suggest why this should happen, and refuses to believe it could happen.
Good batsmen know that swing bowlers can swing the ball, and take this into account when playing the ball. A bad batsman would know that there is no scientific evidence to suggest that the ball will swing, and does not allow for it.
In a similar way, a good scientist is someone who observes the world, notices that for over 200 years people have got better after homeopathic treatment, and seeks to explain why this should be. A bad scientist, the denialists, like those in Sense and Science, just dismisses the evidence before their eyes.
Science, say the denialists, has no explanation that suggests homeopathy can work; therefore it cannot work, and does not work. Homeopathy is no more than placebo (even when animals are treated). Anyone who says that homeopathy has has worked for them are dismissed as deluded, or mad, or both.
Even when these denialists are presented with scientific evidence (and there is plenty of it), they dismiss it as 'inadequate' in some way. They ignore it. And they continue to repeat, ad nauseum - homeopathy does not work, because it cannot work.
Just ask the question. What if Newton, or Galileo, or Einstein had said this? We would have much less understanding of our world today. Good, perhaps, for the Pharmaceutical companies; bad for patients.
Morning Sickness and Homeopathy
Morning sickness can be annoying, and many women are reluctant to take ConMed drugs to deal with it. This is quite understandable. And the history of the dangerousness of ConMed is well known, through the Thalidomide debacle, and more recently, the withdrawal in the USA of Bendectin, which was commonly prescribed for morning sickness. It was found to cause serious harm, including birth defects.
Drug companies seem to care little about the damage they can cause to patients, even to pregnant women and their babies. They will sell dangerous drugs anywhere.
Yet homeopathy can deal safely and effectively with this condition. Homeopathic remedies are gentle and safe; they can be very effective. These are some remedies you might want to try (the information is taken from http://www.naturalnews.com/030917_morning_sickness_homeopathy.html
Colchicum: worse after smelling food, especially cooking food. Vomiting even at the thought of food. Nausea worse from even the slightest movement.
Ipecacuanha: Constant, persistent nausea. Even vomiting doesn't relieve the nausea and it is worse when lying down.
Nux Vomica: Nausea is worse in the morning and from eating. The stomach is very sensitive to pressure. Nux Vomica can be taken alternately with Ipecacuanha.
Lacticum Acidum: Nausea is better after eating and worse from the smell of tobacco smoke. Appetite is not affected, may even have increased appetite.
Sepia: Nausea is worse in the morning. Sensitive to odours, and craving for sour foods. She may be depressed, and and may regret the pregnancy.
Symphoricarpus: This remedy often works for morning sickness when other remedies fail. The nausea is worse after any motion with aversion to all food.
So find a local homeopathy, and treat the condition safely.
Yet you can still buy Bendectin in the UK.
It is known here as Diclectin, and is still being prescribed.

ADHD? Is Homeopathy preferable to Big Pharma drugs?
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (or ADHD) is described by NHS Choices as “a group of behavioural symptoms that include inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsiveness” and that common symptoms of ADHD include a short attention span or being easily distracted, restlessness, constant fidgeting or overactivity, and being impulsive. But there are many more symptoms than this, including:
- Accident proneness
- Poor eye contact
- Insomnia
- Fussy, intensive, demanding attention
- Temper tantrums
- Defiance
- Jealousy
- Cruelty
- Mischievousness
- Repetitive behaviour
- Making inappropriate noises and faces
Conventional Medical Treatment
NHS Choices says that “there is no cure for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), but treatment can help relieve the symptoms and make the condition much less of a problem in day-to-day life.
NHS Choices says that ADHD can be treated using medication or therapy, but that “a combination of both is often the best way to treat it”.
It outlines four main drugs licensed for the treatment of ADHD, which they say are not permanent cures for ADHD, but “they can help someone with the condition concentrate better, be less impulsive, feel calmer, and learn and practise new skills”.
1. Methylphenidate
“Methylphenidate is the most commonly used medication for ADHD. It belongs to a group of medicines called stimulants that work by increasing activity in the brain, particularly in areas that play a part in controlling attention and behaviour”.
After describing how the drug is administered and monitored, and who it is suitable for, NHS Choices lists these common side effects:
• a small increase in blood pressure and heart rate
• loss of appetite, which can lead to weight loss or poor weight gain
• trouble sleeping
• headaches
• stomach aches
• mood swings
Methylphenidate drugs come in many different names, including Concerta, Equasym, Medikinet, and the most widely used, Ritalin.
2. Dexamfetamine
“Dexamfetamine is also a stimulant medication that works in a similar way to methylphenidate, by stimulating areas of the brain that play a part in controlling attention and behaviour”.
NHS Choices list these common side effects of dexamfetamine:
• decreased appetite
• mood swings
• agitation and aggression
• dizziness
• headaches
• diarrhoea
• nausea and vomiting
Dexamfetamine drugs come under many different 'brand' names, including Elvanse.
3. Lisdexamfetamine
“Lisdexamfetamine is a similar medication to dexamfetamine, and works in the same way”.
NHS Choices lists these common side effects of lisdexamfetamine:
• decreased appetite, which can lead to weight loss or poor weight gain
• aggression
• drowsiness
• dizziness
• headaches
• diarrhoea
• nausea and vomiting
4. Atomoxetine (Strattera)
“Atomoxetine works differently to other ADHD medications. It is known as a selective noradrenaline uptake inhibitor (SNRI), which means it increases the amount of a chemical in the brain called noradrenaline. This chemical passes messages between brain cells, and increasing the amount can aid concentration and help control impulses”.
NHS Choices lists these common side effects of atomoxetine:
• a small increase in blood pressure and heart rate
• nausea and vomiting
• stomach aches
• trouble sleeping
• dizziness
• headaches
• irritability
It goes on to admit that Atomoxetine has also been linked to some more serious side effects that it's important to look out for, including suicidal thoughts and liver damage.
NHS Choices have been somewhat ‘conservative’ about how dangerous these drugs can be, and the harm they can cause to children.
Certainly no-one should agree to take these drugs until they have gone beyond what the conventional medical establishment are prepared to tell us about them.
An ‘Informed Choice’ about taking pharmaceutical drugs like these can only be made after serious consideration of the possible consequences, and the possible harm that can be caused.
To demonstrate the point, in a WDDTY report dated February 2005, the following side-effects of Ritalin (the most widely used ADHD drug) were listed, indicating just how damaging these drugs can be to young children (who are probably already suffering from a condition created by other NHS-ConMed drugs).
Cardiovascular
- Rapid heart beat (palpitations, tachycardia)
- High blood pressure (hypertension)
- Unusual heart rhythm (arrythmia)
- Heart attack (cardiac arrest)
Central Nervous System
- Altered mental status (psychosis)
- Hallucinations
- Depression or excitement
- Convulsions / seizures (excessive brain stimulation)
- Drowsiness or "dopey" feeling
- Confusion
- Lack of sleep (insomnia)
- Agitation, irritation, anxiety, nervousness
- Hostility
- Unhappiness (Dysphoria)
- Impaired mental abilities (cognitive impairment on tests)
- Jerky movements (Dyskinesias, tics, Tourette's syndrome)
- Nervous habits (such as picking at skin or pulling hair)
- Compulsive behaviour
- Depression/over-sensitivity
- Decreased social interest
- Zombie-like behaviour
Gastrointestinal
- Eating disorders (anorexia)
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Stomach ache, cramps
- dry mouth
- constipation
- Abnormal liver function tests
Endocrine/Metabolic
- Growth problems (pituitary dysfunction)
- Weight loss
Other
- Blurred vision
- Headache
- Dizziness
- Rash/conjunctivitis/hives
- Hair loss
- Inflammation of the skin (dermatitis)
- Blood disorders (anorexia, leukoplacia)
- Involuntary discharge of urine (enuresis)
- Fever
- Joint pain
- Unusual sweating
- Withdrawal and Rebound
- Sleep problems (insomnia)
- Evening crash
- Depression
- Over-activity and irritability
- Worsening of ADHD-like symptoms
And remember, these drugs are not offered as a ‘cure’, or even a treatment for the condition - they offer just an amelioration of some of the symptoms. And they normally have to be taken for many years.
NHS Choices then moves on to described therapeutic treatment, and mentions the following ‘talking’ therapies, none of which have any side-effects, or DIEs.
- Psychoeducation
- Behaviour therapy
- Parent training and education programmes
- Social skills training
- Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)
Then NHS Choices moves on to mentions the importance of some life-style and diet responses to ADHD, which also benefit from a lack of side-effects or DIEs.
- cutting out certain foods and taking supplements (but stating that “there is no strong evidence these work, and they should not be attempted without medical advice”.
- Diet. There is a recommendation to “eat a healthy, balanced diet” but again with the warning “do not cut out foods without medical advice”.
- The connection between ADHD symptoms and some foods are mentioned, for example, “sugar, food colourings and additives, and caffeine are often blamed for aggravating hyperactivity, and some people believe they have intolerances to wheat or dairy products, which may add to their symptoms” in which case you are asked to keep a diary.
- Supplements, in particular, suggestions “that supplements of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids may be beneficial in people with ADHD”, although again, NHS Choices expresses reservations in that “the evidence supporting this is very limited”.
If the Conventional Medical Establishment had any interest in providing us with safe medicine perhaps it would focus of these therapeutic and life-style focused treatments, but as usual, it does not do so, instead remaining intent on pushing drugs on us that can be dangerous, and harmful to our health.
Homeopathic Treatment
Important Note.
Homeopathy does not treat illness or diseases. It treats the individual who has been diagnosed with a particular illness or disease. The distinction is important, and if you wish to read more about this, click on the chapter “Illness Diagnosis” above.
Homeopathy uses many remedies for people suffering with ADHD, and related illnesses. As is normal with Homeopathy, the correct remedy for any individual is based upon a remedy that best matches the symptoms of that individual. The main remedies used, with a brief description of the kind of symptoms they are used for, are as follows (taken originally from the www.helium.com website:
Arsenicum Iodatum
For the individual who is irritable, unable to study, restless, anxious for health and demanding, climbs everywhere and wonders how they got there, fastidious, not exhausted by restlessness, is very warm, who tries to be nice but can't be still and dislikes bathing.
Asaftida
For relief of dissatisfaction with one's self; complaints about one's troubles, hysterical restlessness and anxiety. Indicated for the individual who is unsteady and fickle, irritable or apprehensive, over-sensitive or excitable.
Belladona
For relief of an overly-excited mental state, hypersthesia of all senses, delirium, restless sleep, convulsive movements. A great children's remedy. The Belladona patient is wildly hyperactive, feels he or she is acutely alive and may be crazed by a flood of subjective visual impressions with acuteness of all senses and changeableness.
Cereus Bonplandii
For the individual who desires to engage in work; to have all time employed; to be engaged in something useful. May find it difficult to keep attention fixed, and feel that time seems to pass slowly.
Coffea cruda
Stimulates the functional activity of all organs, increasing the nervous and vascular activity. The drinking of coffee by the aged is likely to increase production of uric acid. Effective for nervous agitation and restlessness, extreme sensitiveness, great nervous excitability and intolerance of pain, unusual activity of mind and body. Helpful for alleviating the bad effects of sudden emotions, surprises, joy, etc. Indicated for individuals who are impressionable, especially to pleasurable impressions, full of ideas, and quick to act. The patient may experience tight pain in head, worse from noise, smell, narcotics.
Iodium
For relief of the tendency to experience anxiety when quiet. May experience anxiety and depression, with no reference to the future. Sudden impulse to run and do violence. Forgetful. Must be busy. Iodium patients tend to have rapid metabolism, with loss of flesh despite great appetite.
Mandragora
For relief of restless excitability, hysterical tendencies, depression alternating with increased vital and mental activity. Hypersensitivity to noise and smells with increased appetite. The individual in need of mandragora has often experienced violence, either mental or physical, may have self-aggressive or self-abusive behaviour.
Sumbulus moschatus
Indicated for the individual with many hysterical and nervous symptoms, emotional and fidgety, dull in morning, clear in evening. May make frequent mistakes in writing and adding.
Randomised Controlled Tests (RCTs) on Homeopathy
Whereas the main proof for the effectiveness of Homeopathy are the patients who once suffered from this condition, and there are several RCT trials that have looked into the use of homeopathy for people suffering with arthritis, and similar diseases.
The following studies on Homeopathy and the treatment of ADHD have been listed on the Hpathy website. At this link each of the trials have been fully evaluated, and each one shows that the treatment of ADHD with Homeopathy can be successful.

ConMed drugs "offer limited benefits"
Reuters have reported that the EU drug regulator has been critical on new Pharmaceutical drugs. Perhaps he is looking for early retirement - daring to biteg the hand of the Big Pharma companies that feed him!
A Reuters report, 15th December 2010, quotes Thomas Lonngren, head of the European Medicines Agency, saying that there was a 'mismatch between profit considerations and public health' - something I have been saying on this blog for a long time! We must always remember that the primary object of drug companies is profit, and not public health.
He also said that the drugs industry was going through 'a period of upheaval' as the patents on 'blockbuster drugs' were expiring, shrinking the industry's revenue base. This, of course, is one of the main pre-occupations of drug regulators - to get new drugs to patients as fast as possible so that drug companies get on return on their investment as soon as possible. However, he failed to mention the cost of litigation by patients who have been harmed by the dangerous drugs he has been responsible for passing during his ten years in office.
He was also calling for more research on new drugs, and more new drugs - despite speaking about the rise of 'superbugs', and the growing problem of bacteria that are 'resistant' to antibiotics. This is typical of ConMed, and Big Pharma. They dig large holes, then realise they are dangerous, and can only think of one solution - continuing to dig an even deeper hole!
He might have added something about how dangerous there were, too. But, of course, he didn't!
This was a Reuters release in early December 2010. If anyone saw this mentioned in the mainstream media, please let me know. Of course, it is not something they normally publish. I don't think we are supposed to know!
Overall, he painted a grim picture of the drug industry's recent output, saying many new medicines offered limited benefit and often helped a small minority of patients.

Conventional Medical Drugs. What price the value of human life?
Big Pharma company GlaxoSmithKline has been fined 400,000 pesos for killing 14 babies during a vaccine trial in Argentina between 2007 and 2008.
Good news? Well, at least they were caught! But one Argentinian peso is worth just $0.25 dollars - about 20p. So I make that to be just over £500 per life lost. No prosecution of GSK personnel responsible for conducting these trials. And the money - well - it is not even pocket money for GSK. (For a more local report see this).
So what is the value of human life? I wonder what my sentence would be if I had murdered 14 babies? A heavy fine?
Estimates about how many people Big Pharma kill each year vary amazingly. This article states that it kills just 106,000 deaths per year. This leaves me wondering at what point they stopped counting! But it is a difficult calculation to make - not least because when deaths occur the association with Pharma drugs is usually denied. But at least this article tries to show the extent of the fraud, the illegal sales activities, and the total fines that Big Pharma companies have been paying in the USA. It also states clearly that spending money on drugs does not lead to saving lives. Whilst spending more on drugs than any other nation, the USA is 49th in terms of life-expectancy.
Drugs are regularly being linked to disease and death. The diabetes drug, Actos, for instance is now being linked with cancer. Last year it was banned in France because it was found to cause bladder cancer. But this does not prevent drug companies selling it elsewhere - for as long as they can get away with it!
When medicine causes disease, or death, it is called Iatrogenesis - caused by doctors. This article explains that it is not just drugs that cause this in conventional medicine, but many other factors. It states that iatrogenesis cause approximately 225,000 deaths each years, making it the 3rd biggest killer in the USA.
In an attempt to assist us, this article picks out the 10 most dangerous Pharma drugs. But is it wise to do this? Highlighting these is only the tip of the iceberg of dangerous Big Pharma drugs, and what is needed is to highlight that they are all potentially dangerous to our health, and even to our lives. But it does point that that for the first time, in nearly a century, automobile accidents are not the leading cause of accidental death any more (according to the US National Center for Health Statistics). This prize now goes to Big Pharma drug companies!
Our experience with Pharma drugs now points to only one sensible conclusion; they are a danger to our health, and to life itself. And it is no good trying to apportion blame to just a few drugs. They are all heavily implicated. Any trying to decide which drugs are okay, and which are dangerous is no good. We just don't have the information - mainly because the drug companies refuse to tell us!
The British Medical Journal has actually complained about this practice! An amazing outbreak of honesty from them! Apparently, when there is evidence that a drug might work - Big Pharma publishes it. When they have evidence that it doesn't, or where there is evidence that it might cause problems, the evidence can be witheld. I have discussed this in an earlier blog - and raised some of the issues it raises (or should raise) for all of us.
It would seem that we never know quite what we are taking when offered Big Pharma drugs. The only information we are given is positive information, and this means that it is bogus information! Nor do doctors and GPs. Nor do the Drug Regulatory bodies.
There is no-one out there appears either able, or willing, to protect us from the consequences of conventional medicine, and Big Pharma drugs. Except ourselves, of course. And we must all begin to say:

Flu? Don't panic, use homeopathy
The world of ConMed and the NHS is busy scaremongering about 'flu and its dangers. They do it every year. We are being told, regularly in the mainstream media, that 'flu is killing people, and that we all need to get vaccinated. Indeed, this is beginning to be an annual event?
But there is no panic required, as long as you realise the homeopathy is far more effective than ConMed, and as usual, much less dangerous.
Have a look at this article, published in the Huffington Post.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/larry-malerba/homeopathic-remedies-for-the-flu_b_802803.html
It states the fact that in the worst 20th century flu epidemic, in the 1918 Spanish Flu outbreak, homeopathy consistently out-performed ConMed - and it helpfully lists a number of the main remedies used in the treatment of influenza, and some of their specific symptoms. These are:
Bryonia, Gelsenium, Arsenicum, Eupatorium, Nux Vom, Rhus Tox, Aconite, Baptisia, Phosphorus, Mercurius and Belladonna.
Any homeopathic first aid kit will have these remedies, and no home should be without a homeopathic first aid kit! Safe treatment is always possible because homeopathy is safe. But if the remedies chosen do not work for you, consult with a registered homeopath.
