Dawn

The current epidemic of Ebola, in a sad and painful way, makes clear what the current position of homeopathy is at the world stage of health care. While homeopathy has excelled in the treatment of epidemic diseases for centuries, stealth operations are needed to make homeopathic treatment available to Ebola patients.

WHO, which is fully ruled by the doctrine of school medicine, ignores homeopathy; critics find a new reason to further bash homeopathy and the media show a shameless lack of what good journalism entails – curiosity, inquisitiveness, openness and objectivity.

Although this may all be very disheartening, successful treatment results with Ebola might also put homeopathy convincingly back on the map.

Itʼs always darkest just before dawn. May the promise that homeopathy holds to prevent and cure epidemics soon dawn on those that can make the difference.

Dawn

Heads down, they do as they have always done:
They walk away from hope and light,
And trail shadows cast on weed and grass.
They eat and chew; they eat and chew without delight.
With every step new shade is formed,
They must go on and deal with darkness evermore.
All else is lies; there is no other way,
Just cud and chew, digest and shit,
Thatʼs what the shepherd made them for.
Staying one step ahead of dawn,
They shield their truths, herd their beliefs.
They say there is no single proof of light
And hide their shadows from that thief.
