Best of Medicine Debate - 26th June

The first debate on the Best took place on 26 June, where four speakers put the case for the top-dog ideas in medical history.

You can listen to the debate by clicking here (mp3 format). (Go to about 45% for homeopathy debate)

"Homeopathy narrowly lost out last night to vaccination as the 'Best of Medicine' - not that, from where I was sitting, the apparently independent
chair actually counted the votes - there was a show of hands/cards and I have to say that homeopathy looked like the winner. But hey, maybe that was
just me."  Paula Ross, Society of Homeopaths.

Famous people and Celebrities...

GEORGE BERNARD SHAW and Homeopathy

George Bernard Shaw defended and explained homeopathy at a time when allopaths were only interested in money, not the health of the people. Shaw pointed out that “All great truths begin as blasphemies“.

In his play The Doctor’s Dilemma, Shaw argues that homeopathy was attacked by allopathy soley on the basis that it cost them money. The tiny doses used in homeopathy strangled the lucrative profits of the allopathic druggists:

Robert Koch

The claim that Robert Koch ‘borrowed’ his groundbreaking ideas from homeopathy is not new. It was made at the time by homeopaths who criticized him for taking certain parts of their method and then misapplying them, and by allopaths who viciously attacked him for ‘being a homeopath'.

I swear by...

Homeopathy. When I had my kids I took a lot of homeopathic things, and I had them both with no painkillers. Arnica is great. I got kicked in the stomach by a horse once and some adult slapped arnica all over it and I had no bruise at all to show for my pain.
