I found an interesting article with about how homeopathy wants off the holistic health team. With so many people disenchanted with the allopathic medicine model and so many people seeking alternatives and ways to get better results than what modern medicine had been able to achieve it is quite interesting to see modalities that really want to be included with such poor results.
Wikipedia defines Homeopathy (also spelled homoeopathy or homœopathy) is a form of alternative medicine in which practitioners claim to treat patients using highly diluted preparations that are believed to cause healthy people to exhibit symptoms that are similar to those exhibited by the patient. The collective weight of scientific evidence has found homeopathy to be no more effective than a placebo.
(Note I also find it interesting that Wikipedia used the last line since placebos usually get better results than the drugs they are tested against. In fact placebos are so good many pharmaceutical companies no longer test against placebos and test against other drugs.)

I constantly try to expose all those ‘big’ people who are propagating homeopathy as a branch of ‘energy medicine’ or ‘spiritual healing’, not due to any personal vendetta. Actually, I do not know these people personally. I do this campaign as part of my mission of advancing homeopathy as a full-fledged ‘medical science’, which I think, cannot be achieved without freeing it from malignant influence of diverse shades of ‘energy medicine’ theories and their highly influential international propagators.
We cannot hope to advance homeopathy as a scientific medical practice unless we could explain ‘potentization’ and ‘similia similibus curentur’ in a way fitting to modern scientific paradigms, and prove them according to scientific methods. If you are genuine in this mission, you cannot move forward without settling accounts with pseudo-scientific ‘energy medicine concepts’ that have engulfed homeopathy.
Actually, ‘energy medicine’, energy therapy or energy healing is a branch of complementary and alternative medicine basically distinct from homeopathy. It is based on the belief that a healer is able to channel healing energy into the person seeking help by different methods: hands-on, hands-off, and distant (or absent) where the patient and healer are in different locations. There are various schools of energy healing. It is known as biofield energy healing,spiritual healing, contact healing, distant healing, therapeutic touch, Reiki or Qigong. Spiritual healing is largely non-denominational and traditional religious faith is not seen as a prerequiste for effecting a cure. Faith healing, by contrast, takes place within a religious context.
Homeopathy is essentially a form of ‘drug therapy’. It has nothing to do with ‘energy medicine’. Homeopathy should be understood, explained and practiced as a scientific medicine.
So far KC Chandran Nambair’s view makes since although the logic in is not carried to the fullest extent that everything is energy including scientific medicine. The continuation of this is better than that and not recognizing where each is an extension or apart of the other can limit the effectiveness of either. Integration is more useful than either/or. The article ends with this paragraph…
If you genuinely want homeopathy to be a real ‘medical science’, it is inevitable that you will have to fight for freeing homeopathy from the influence of ‘energy medicine’ theories and associated occult practices. I take up this fight as part of my mission of propagating scientific homeopathy. Kindly do not minimize it into an issue of ‘personality clashes’ or ”ego conflicts.

So here we have someone who wants homeopathy off the holistic health team and on the medical science team. That’s not a good thing or a bad thing. I just found it fascinating with all the dissatisfaction in today’s healthcare system there were people wanting to join a system that has not provided the service and level of care the public expect.
One interesting thing is if homeopathy did wind up on the medical science team the percentages of recovery and effectiveness might improve, which is a good thing.
