Homeopathy is Alive and Well



Yesterday I had a really interesting conversation with a couple of very interesting women. One, Linda, is an MD, the other, Ashley, is a nurse. Both I would identify, with high praise, as unabashed Homeopathic Evangelists. Each of them spoke with great eloquence of this system of medicine, that while not at odds with Western Medicine, continues to be viewed with considerable skepticism by the modern medical community.

What these two women are working toward is the education of as many people as they can reach, to let them know of the benefits of this "alternative" medical system. The reason I placed quotes around, alternative, is because it is so often used in a pejorative way; to make it appear that this sort of practice is to be viewed with a certain amount of suspicion.

As I came to learn through our conversation, homeopathic remedies have been around for more than 200 years and are regulated by the FDA just like pharmaceuticals. There's nothing alternative about that. Each of these incredible women works with people both locally and remotely in such far away locations as India. Ashley spoke of hosting meeting with some attendees in the room and others checking in via Facetime (or some such). Linda spoke about her own experience with having been healed, not through her own deep understanding of what was needed, but rather through the slightly different perspective of one of her colleagues. The sense I got was of how dedicated each of them is to the task they see ahead. I was so impressed by their commitment to the dissemination of this information, that I've invited each of them to write a guest post, or two, here on the Searching for Sincerity site.
I certainly look forward to seeing more their insights on this subject.

Evaluation: Extraordinarily sincere!

Merry Christmas - Nice

Yesterday my son Josh was sick with a terrible sinus headache which unfortunately expanded into throwing up all last night.  Obviously, we had to postpone a planned trip by plane.  Everything got crazy quickly if ya' know what I mean? He's starting school in January and finds himself between insurances (naturally), so we needed a reasonably priced doctor who would take care of him without an overwhelming pile of paperwork, governed by an even more overwhelming number of rules and regulations. I called the Community Healthcare Network in Long Island City. At first, all those things I feared would occur - did. However once I explained the dilemma and the situation, a woman named Crystal came the rescue. Basically, she bent the rules just a very small amount and made things happen fast. What a great experience. As I write this Josh is being seen by the doctor. What a relief to know that he is in capable and caring hands. This is what true sincerity is all about.  Merry Christmas to all, etc...-)
