THE TRUTH ABOUT “WHAT IS WRONG WITH HOMOEOPATHY”

by

Now let us get down to cold facts: Homoeopathy can never succeed, prosper and spread until it owns and controls its own colleges and experimental stations where it can properly and scientifically prove drugs and evaluate the results of those provings and sift the positive from the negative symptoms; where the teachers are properly trained for their work. Homoeopathy needs of all things, A Drug Provers Union.

In ignoring the concentration on drug proving it gives modern medicine good and sufficient grounds for branding homoeopathy as passe, and proclaiming it as “out of step with the times.” Modern medicine is at least trying to progress according to its light, but we are content to sit back and rest on the fruits of those who have gone on. The more cures we can make the more patients we will have, but no homoeopath can make cures without proper remedies. All the real research homoeopathy really needs is drug proving! Prove drugs and practise homoeopathy strictly and watch it grow! We preach homoeopathy to the laity and when the laity asks for it we have no homoeopathy to offer, and the most that is now offered is hybrid.

Allow me once again to repeat good old Boenninghausen:.

Ever more glorious will homoeopathy unfold its banner; ever more brightly will it beam in the firmament of science; ever more full of curative virtue she will show her wonderful powers if she is not decked in any false finery or disfigured with any borrowed attire or ornaments. It positively will not mix with modern medicine. Then “If I am right your grace impart still in the right to stay; if I am wrong who of you will teach my heart to find that better way?”.
