Homeopath to the Queen 'risking patient health' by selling swine flu remedy

There are so many unsettling things about this. First off for over 200 years homeopaths have treated the person's symptoms, not the disease. So treating the symptoms is nothing new.
But the issue that really comes to light in this article is the people's right to choose how they want to receive their healthcare is under attack. Since when does the individual not have the right to choose. These are basic rights along with freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom to choose our elected officials and health freedom. The medical community and the pharmaceutical companies are trying to use fear as a weapon to have people give up this right. Is that really what people want...to give up their freedom of choice? I don't think so.

I am appalled at this article. You quote Dr Hamish Meldrum, the BMA chairman, as claiming that "Homeopathic medicine has not been shown to have any benefits at all and should not be used as an alternative to conventional treatment." I am both shocked and surprised that as Chairman of the BMA, Dr. Meldrum seems to have no knowledge of the official journals kept at both conventional and the many homeopathic hospitals in the USA during the Spanish Flu epidemic of 1918. These official records reveal that while the mortality rate of people treated with traditional medicine and drugs was 30 percent, those treated by homeopathic physicians had a mortality rate of only 1.05 percent. Of the fifteen hundred cases reported at the Homeopathic Medical Society of the District of Columbia there were only fifteen deaths. Recoveries in the National Homeopathic Hospital were 100%. In Ohio, of 1,000 cases of influenza, Dr. T. A. McCann, MD, Dayton, Ohio reported NO DEATHS. According to Dr. Frank Wieland, MD, in Chicago, "(With) 8,000 workers we had only one death. Gelsemium was practically the only remedy used. We used no aspirin and no vaccines." Ohio reported that 24,000 cases of flu treated allopathically had a mortality rate of 28.2% while 26,000 cases of flu treated homeopathically had a mortality rate of 1.05%. In Connecticut, 6,602 cases were reported, with 55 deaths, less than 1%. Dr. Roberts, a physician on a troop ship during WWI, had 81 cases of flu on the way over to Europe. He reported, "All recovered and were landed. Every man received homeopathic treatment.
A report to the American Institute of Homeopathy in 1921 documented the dramatic success of homeopathy in the worst flu pandemic in history. The death rate of 24,000 flu cases under conventional medical care in that study was 28.2 percent, while the death rate of 26,000 cases treated with homeopathy was a nearly miraculous 1.05 percent. Similarly, many homeopathic physicians each reported treating thousands of patients with very few deaths.
According to these records, based on very large samples, homeopathy has a spectacular success rate in flu epidemics. Why therefore are the BMA and the MHRA attacking a purveyor of such reportedly powerful medicine? Why are we not handing out Gelsemium and other homeopathic remedies instead of Tamiflu, whose side effects are now all in the news?

From where do you obtain these facts? I'm interested in reading more about this study.

Interesting historical record:
Vaccine not virus responsible for Spanish flu

RYLE DWYER writes on the horror of the 1918-20 pandemic which the propaganda says was caused by Spanish flu (Irish Examiner, May 1).

How did they know it was the virus of Spanish flu that killed millions of civilians and soldiers?

This disaster occurred when viruses were unknown to medical science.

It took a British science team to identify the first virus in man in 1933.

As regards the origin of the outbreak, he relates that a senior US army officer suggested that the Germans might have been responsible for the bug as part of their war effort, by spreading it in theatres or where large numbers of people assembled.

Did they also spread it among their own people, killing 400,000 as reported?

Ryle would have us believe that all those American soldiers who died from non-combatant causes may have died from Spanish flu.

But US Army records show that seven men dropped dead after being vaccinated.

A report from US Secretary of War Henry L Stimson not only verified these deaths but also stated that there had been 63 deaths and 28,585 cases of hepatitis as a direct result of yellow fever vaccination during only six months of the war.

That was only one of the 14 to 25 shots given to recruits.

Army records also reveal that after vaccination became compulsory in the US Army in 1911, not only did typhoid increase rapidly but all other vaccinal diseases increased at an alarming rate.

After America entered the war in 1917, the death rate from typhoid vaccination rose to the highest point in the history of the US Army.

The deaths occurred after the shots were given in sanitary American hospitals and well-supervised army camps in France, where sanitation had been practised for years.

The report of the Surgeon-General of the US Army shows that during 1917 there were admitted into the army hospitals 19,608 men suffering from anti-typhoid inoculation and vaccinia.

This takes no account of those whose vaccine diseases were attributed to other causes.

The army doctors knew all these cases of disease and death were due to vaccination and were honest enough to admit it in their medical reports.

When army doctors tried to suppress the symptoms of typhoid with a stronger vaccine, it caused a worse form of typhoid paratyphoid.

But when they concocted an even stronger vaccine to suppress that one, they created an even worse disease Spanish flu.

After the war, this was one of the vaccines used to protect a panic-stricken world from the soldiers returning from WWI battlefronts infected with dangerous diseases.

The rest is history.

An answer more on topic of this article:
The problem with this undercover story is that the pharmacist should have told what ingredients were in the bottle. Reflecting on 'freedom of labeling information' there should be ingredients listed on the bottle.

Homeopathy works!
