HOMEOPATHY, AUTISM & THE SEARCH FOR HEALING
Comments
More than a century ago, homeopathic hospitals were operating across America. Australian homeopath Melissa Kupsch joins Del to explain how the practice works, why it largely disappeared from mainstream medicine, and why a growing number of families are turning to it again for some of today’s most difficult health challenges.

An important reason why homeopathy in the United States—despite the prominent position it held there over a hundred years ago—fell behind and almost completely disappeared is the fact that the homeopathic physicians of that time were unable to keep pace with the scientific developments that were taking hold in all areas of modern life.
They saw no way to fit the fundamentals of their therapy—the so-called “law of similars” (“like cures like”) and the “principle of high dilutions/potencies” of their remedies—into the scientific context of the time.
Physics (before Einstein, Planck, and Schrödinger), analytical chemistry, and—consequently—medicine, which was increasingly oriented toward these sciences, had no place for the homeopathic approach, which, while it worked in practice, could not be explained by them—even to this day.
Unfortunately, Melissa Kupsch did not address this point, even though she cited some scientific evidence from recent homeopathy research.
But this is precisely what is possible today with modern methods of microbiome research and immunology: placing homeopathy on a scientific foundation.
Homeopathy, microbiome research, and immunology are the three principles that can now be combined to prevent homeopathy from continuing to exist in the shadow of science
An Amazing show once again! Thank you Del and the hole team for having Homeopathy in the spotlight again! Nexttime if you wanna get deep into the science of homeopathy get HRI Chief Executive Rachel Roberts onto the show – she is a scientist in Homeopathy Research Institute in UK. https://www.hri-research.org/ Keep up the fantastic work – you guys are making the world a better place!
I want to know how to learn about homeopathic methods to fix my 8 year old son’s microbiome. Any suggestions on what to read or do?
