Rockefeller, the Flexner Report, and the American Medical Association: The Contentious Relationship Between Conventional Medicine and Homeopathy in America

Abstract

This article examines the ideological and institutional forces that led to the marginalization of homeopathy in American medicine, despite its popularity among prominent figures, including John D. Rockefeller. Drawing on five previously unpublished reports written for Rockefeller by his philanthropic and business advisor, Frederick T. Gates, the article reveals how these internal communications criticized homeopathy while shaping Rockefeller philanthropic foundations’ policy. Using early 20th-century archival materials, it places the foundations’ decisions within the broader context of changes in American medical education and regulation. The resulting funding decisions played a critical role in medical education reform and the rise of “scientific medicine.” The article also summarizes several strategies used by the American Medical Association (AMA) to marginalize homeopathy, including the “consultation clause” in its code of ethics, its collaboration in the writing of the Flexner Report, and its early advertising policies – an underexamined but significant factor in the AMA’s consolidation of power and accumulation of financial resources.

3 Homeopathic Remedies to Heal Your Tummy

There should be nothing common about such ailments as acid reflux, gallstones, ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, gallstones and anal fissures.

If you have been beset by such conditions there are a number of ways to help yourself.  First your doc is the only one who can give you a diagnosis.  According to one report over half of individuals over the age of 50 have had diverticulitis.  As the above list shows, these conditions generally do not develop overnight.

If you are reading this article and for the most part are ok.  Great.  You may want to see how you can enhance your wellbeing.  You can give your health a boost by practicing intermittent fasting, not eating until you’re “stuffed”,
skip the fried foods and cold foods (such as ice cream), and not eating strange mixtures of food types for fun.

Using homeopathy for any condition requires an understanding  of your symptoms.  When and how you manifest the ailment, what does the pain feel like, when does it happen, when did it start, what makes it better or worse, etc.?

Simple indigestion from overeating, can be helped with dioscorea (dios.) if the pain is relieved by bending backwards, flatulence after eating and twisting pains in the colic.  Nux-v is legendary for helping those who are overstimulated from too much coffee, alcohol, spicy food and such.  Arsenicum is useful for burning pains, thirst for sips of cold water, anxiety, there may be diarrhea after eating and weakness.

If you have a recurring concerns I invite you to contact me for more information.

 

Whole Foods Market to Remove Homeopathic Remedies

Stand Up for Access to Single Tube Homeopathic Remedies!

We couldn’t believe it when we heard it!

We have a critical situation at hand that demands your immediate attention! Whole Foods Market (WFM) is quietly eliminating almost all single tube homeopathic medicines from its store shelves nationwide over the next several months. These are the ones that you typically get from the display cases that have single remedies in alphabetical order from A to Z. Those display cases will soon be gone. This is an alarm bell for all of us who value natural remedies and personalized healthcare solutions.

This was a business decision made by WFM management, and, needless to say, we think it was a bad one. That’s why we’re asking you to contact WFM and let them know that you value having homeopathic remedies available at your local WFM store. Click the link below to take you to a pre-written message you can send to the company.

“But I don’t trust WFM! They were bought out by Amazon!”  Don’t be fooled into thinking that this issue is about Whole Foods–this issue is about access to homeopathic medicines. This action alert is about the ripple effect this decision has on access to homeopathic medicines: The WFM decision influences other stores, it this impacts people’s access to homeopathy, and it impacts the viability of the homeopathy companies themselves.

We ask that you look beyond “Whole Foods” and focus on the ripple effect this decision has. 

Time is of the essence! The iconic display cases, housing a curated range of single homeopathic remedies from A to Z, are on the brink of disappearing from the shelves of WFM.

I wonder how many of you have gone over to your WFM store just to get that one remedy you’ve run out of because someone in your family needs it right now. And, then you’ve done a little shopping besides. That’s been me on a regular basis.

We need to help WFM management see that their decision is not only bad for you, it’s bad for the company. And, we know from our sources in the industry that homeopathic product sales are rising and retailers are making good money off these products. So, it makes sense for WFM to keep on stocking them.

 

Homeopathy Works

I have used and worked with homeopathy and homeopathic medicines (called remedies) for decades.  Within that time I have had my own wonderful experiences and been privileged to see others.

Today, I want to share a friends story.

This friend sustained an injury to their knees and hamstring muscles.  This caused a bit of limping around and aching for several works…until the lightbulb moment.

Here’s the Takeaway

They took Arnica! Two doses…pain gone.  Healing done.

Now homeopathy doesn’t always work this fast, but at times it does.  And when you experience it for yourself.  All you can say is Thank God!!

So learn about it for yourself.  Try it for yourself where it is indicated.

Best.

 

 

Homeopathy in Treatment of Resistant Depression

Efficacy of Individualized Homeopathy in Treatment-Resistant Depression

Abstract

Treatment-resistant major depression (TRD), defined as an insufficient response to at least two antidepressant treatments, is usually treated with antidepressants, psychotherapy, electroconvulsive therapy, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, and vagus nerve stimulation or combinations of these. However, the response rate is modest and, on many occasions, insufficient or nonexistent. Here, we describe the case of a 19-year-old woman with a history of TRD, treated for depression since the age of five years. Her symptoms were resistant to fluoxetine, escitalopram, atomoxetine, and psychotherapy. Individualized homeopathic treatment with Staphisagria, Nux vomica, Arsenicum album, and Lachesis trigonocephalus was started. Posology was carried out in 200CH dynamizations. Treatment was prescribed for four months. This led to an immediate improvement in mood and a sustained and gradual reduction of depressive symptoms and, consequently, a reduction and then cessation of medication with antidepressants and psychotherapy. At follow-up eight months later, the patient is free of depression and medication. This case study reconfirms the usefulness of homeopathy in the treatment of depression. It also suggests that individualized homeopathic treatment may be useful in cases of treatment-resistant depression.
