Why are pharmacies supporting homeopathy
by continuing to sell homeopathic remedies?
This was a question posed recently on the website "Quora", and this was my answer.
For one very simple reason. They work! And there are lots of people out here who know they work, and how safely they work. Obviously this is in stark contrast to pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines!
It is certainly true that less pharmacies in Britain now stock homeopathic remedies, because they are under pressure from the conventional medical establishment, the pharmaceutical companies, to stop doing so.
However, you don’t need to worry, Brian (the name of the person asking the question). You, and your colleagues, might stop more pharmacies from stocking homeopathic remedies. But remedies will always be readily available from our specialist homeopathic pharmacies. We have several in Britain. And even if you fancied trying to close these down too, and were successful, I (and other homeopaths) can make them for ourselves, quite easily.
So I would like to ask other people what they think about this sort of loaded
anti-homeopathy question? What exactly is Brian’s motivation?
The implication of Brian’s question is that the remedies don’t work. No doubt this is what he believes.
- But if they don’t work people would not buy them - people are not as stupid as he might think.
- And if they do work, why should people (like Brian) want to stop anyone buying them?
It’s all about vested interests, pharmaceutical interests. But notice the direction of this nasty and unpleasant campaigning. It’s not natural therapies, like homeopathy, seeking to stop people using pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines. They may be largely ineffective, and of course they are always unsafe. But if people want to take them that is entirely up to them. I would not touch them myself. I am content with homeopathy. It works for me.
But Brian, and his like, wants to stop my access to homeopathic remedies, and the access of millions of other people, to homeopathy. We may want it. He does not want us to have them.
This says more about Brian than homeopathy. Homeopathy has been subjected to these nasty little hate campaigns ever since it began out-performing conventional medicine in the early 19th century. In the last 15–20 years the anti-homeopathy campaign has become particularly vicious. Why? These have been years when pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines have been failing, and more and more people are looking towards other medical therapies for their medical care.
The conventional medical establishment is trying desperately to stop this decline, and have no doubt, it’s probably powerful enough to pressurise pharmacies to stop selling all rival medical treatments. The pharmaceutical industry already controls medical science, drug regulation, the NHS, the mainstream media, politicians, political parties, and the government. It is now attacking health freedom, and patient choice.
But don’t worry, Brian, homeopathy is still going to be around for a very long time. We will continue treating patients, who either already know, or will discover the wonderful healing properties of homeopathy. We will continue to make our remedies. And you cannot stop us doing any of this.
Homeopathy is alive and well in every part of the world, and everywhere it easily out-performs conventional medicine. So much so that in some countries it is becoming increasingly dominant within their national health services.
Anyway, I had better go. My dog has an ear problem, and I think the remedy “Calendula” will do the trick. I’ve got some, but if not I can get some more from my specialist pharmacy.
Otherwise I can pop out to my garden, where I have lots of calendula plants growing, and make up a remedy in about 10 minutes - for free.
And Brian, be aware, there is absolutely nothing that you can do to stop me!
