Diabetes: Where they focus on early education and prevention

My ex was a student of homeopathy. He used to say (don't know if it is true or not) that it was the primary treatment modality early on in the states and was kicked to the side by what we now consider normal medical care. It didn't work for me, maybe because I was always handling the pellets while helping him. I have seen it work for burns (cantharis, I think) on my daughter and one of her friends, and in a few other people. It is used a lot in England, from my understanding.

Harris Coulter is an incredible historian. His books are exhausting and he has published several volumes which by now may be more reasonably priced. Yeah, in his book you will see how the Flexner Report closed many medical schools down save those that equaled standards set by John Hopkins School of Medicine. This was in the early twentieth century. Many types of medicine competed with conventional medicine during the frontier years, politics a la AMA took care of the competition.

Gandhi supported homeopathy in India as a viable useful medicine and is substantially used there. Also in Russia, Latin America and other places. Supported by the state as a legal form of medicine.

Medicine in America is expensive, symptom oriented and not prevention oriented. In countries where they focus on early education and prevention they pay far less for medical care. When I was in Australia the costs for medical care were dramatically lower and I found the medical providers there were every bit as good, and probably better, than most medical providers here. What we have is extremely expensive high-tech and lots of drugs to fix underlying problems largely created by a toxic environment and a lousy diet.

Samuel Hahnemann's manual contains much of this. He was the founder. He was a gifted physician and researcher gave up the practice after he invented homeopathy. He had a great practice and trained many followers all over the world. The biography of this man is well worth reading gives insight into why he invented homeopathy. I was not able to find anything in homeopathy that helped my diabetes. I am sure that there are a handful of homeopathic docs who can help me but they are not easy to find. Long distance running, vegetarian diet did help me with my diabetes and is probably why I am alive today.

The McDougal Diet was the diet I observed, the 7th Day vegetarian diet. Nice mixture of religion and diet. Ralph Nader, a person I did not like when I first met him long time ago, is very cautious about the food he eats, no processed food, nothing made by corporations, he fears toxins. Strange guy and I am learning slowly how much I have in common.
