Why Big Pharma is unsustainable
The conventional view, upon which modern medicine is based, is that the body is a collection of dumb atoms which somehow come together to form molecules (chemicals) which combine to form living cells.

21st Century Healing – The Biofield

On the one hand, homeopaths point to their success in curing a wide range of conditions for millions of people and cite studies that have demonstrated that homeopathy can have a positive effect – including conditions where conventional medicine has failed.

Does water have a memory?
Homeopaths argue that homeopathic remedies, like water, contain a ‘memory’ of the active ingredient from which they are prepared. Is this true? Most scientists say this is nonsense.

Infinitesimals, Miasms and Similars: Principles of Homeopathy
Homeopathic remedies are designed to gently prompt the immune system into fighting a health problem by giving it the necessary information to do so. They are based on the notion that a diluted preparation of a substance that causes symptoms in a healthy person can cure diseases that cause the same symptoms in a sick…
