Kritische Bemerkungen und Ansichten Anhang
[Caroline Durieu]
Dr.
Caroline Durieu offers some reasons that homeopathy
doesn’t seem to work is some patients. Obstacles to cure, limiting
beliefs and being unanchored are discussed as the culprits.
They
are two kinds of people in this world. Those who understand the point of
homeopathy and those who don’t, you would think? Almost! I’m sure that
everybody reading this must be convinced about homeopathy, so let’s take a step
back to think the other way around.
Once
you have felt the magic of homeopathy for yourself, it has always been a huge
question to me to try to understand why it can’t help everyone the same way.
And
why I never listened before. As much as I’m mesmerized by my patients
globally healing, unravelling, sorting out their lives, blooming and thriving
after a good remedy, I’m very much interested in why it does NOT obviously work
with everyone, which is definitely contributing to a fair share to the doubtful
reputation of it in the wide eye. ..along with understanding how it works of
course.
What
I would like to share here is my understanding as of now. There’s only one
world, and I strongly believe we have to find a model that explains both
visions of healthcare, and we, as homeopaths and homeopathy patients, have to
do our steps towards the mid-line.
“All
religions, arts, and sciences are branches of the same tree.” – Albert Einstein
1. Hahnemann talked about the obstacles to cure
(heavy metals, toxic chemicals, toxic foods (let’s now include leaky gut/“Ernährungs Docs”); sleep deprivation, sedentary
lifestyle, and those are indeed rather common,
but it’s not anymore a sufficient explanation to me.
How
do you explain that somebody eating well, exercising, reading, and truly
thriving in this world can’t feel it?
2. Limiting beliefs
Those
are why it usually takes someone to experience some serious adversity, to drop
the beliefs and be willing to look around. Those are why there are not
enough homeopathic doctors around, compared to so many patients asking for
homeopathic help. Because you can’t learn and leap such a big gap when you are
a doctor, backed by the supermighty
statistically-proven solution-in-a-drug thinking.
You
can’t learn when you think you know. (Though often, life – usually having kids!
– eventually finds a way to teach you different.) You precisely have to be sick
and sometimes almost desperate to have your mind open for help.
Limiting
beliefs explain the fervour some people use fighting against homeopathy. Profound
resentment happens when a crush/deep attraction is clashing with limiting
beliefs, because it’s threatening the safety of a supposed understanding of
everything, and that is intolerable.
I
don’t think it’s right to assume it’s bad faith, or philosophical denial, as I
used to. I truly respect all my colleagues, and I strongly believe everyone
tries his best on his personal path to understand the world. Adversity and
trust helping, pride and money comforting steady state.
[Albert
Einstein] “Everything that man ignores does not exist for him. That is why the
universe of each one, is summed up to the size of his knowledge.” For he knows
that only “the more you know, the more you realize what is yet to learn”….
But
let’s keep thinking. Now let’s say that we have this patient doing everything
right, willing to try and we know the remedy is right. And it just doesn’t take
off, or barely (let’s face it, stop convincing yourself). Why not?
3. Being anchored
Everyone
has heard of Einstein, but few know why. Part of his point is :
·
E=mc²
: Everything is a vibration. Vibration of the Earth, vibration of us, or
everything around us, resonating- or not, waves being in phase – or not.
·
“Law
of Attraction is physics, not philosophy” as he said. And that Law of
Attraction is controlling all those vibrations together, in the most complex
way that man is far
·
from
realizing, ego forbids. A vibration as the power to interact and modify other
vibrations, just like our moods does on our social contacts for example, or a
colour,
·
a
music modifies us and the atmosphere of a place.
So what’s in the magic pills?
“Sugar”
of course AND a vibration, an electromagnetic wave, interacting with our own
vibration to resonate, lift us and bring us back in phase with the Earth
vibration, and Health.
It
is all about physics, and electricity. And just like every electrical wiring
system in a house has to be earthed to work, and SO DO WE! I wrote in a
previous issue about being anchored. Isn’t an anchor, holding beside
storms, whatever happens, the exact opposite of a soap bubble, floating
aimlessly, always higher and out of reach, until it bursts (and technically
needing a newly adapted remedy every second it’s been rotating?), analogy of
many people’s uneasy lives? On the other hand, when foundations are stable, you
can build up so much, and have not only healing, but life-changing remedies.
What difference does it make?
Let’s
compare to spelling or grammar mistakes in a book you would buy. You can start
correcting every mistake for yourself. It will look better but how do you know
after all if you’re keeping the right meaning? How do others benefit from it?
On
the other hand, being anchored would be like contacting the editor, the source,
so that you can have the corrected and updated edition and so others would too.
In the same way, you can fix somebody very well with the right remedy, but if
he/she is a soap bubble which loses everything the next day being blow up by
some news or anything, you’ll never see ALL the life-changing improvements
emerging from the remedy.
And
the right remedy for a soap bubble changes every second, you can’t compete!
The
point of a homeopathic treatment of a flu for example, is not even to shorten
the length of it but really that the patient feels better than before. That is
the full potential of homeopathy, using disease to grow. So, I think
there are two kinds of people in this world: anchored or not-anchored.
In
the general population, it’s fair to assume that around 75% are not grounded,
25% grounded. It would be the opposite ratio amongst people doing yoga for
example. It’s actually why people go to yoga or manual/earth work in the first
place. People on the self-care or recovery pathway are just on the way to
reconnection.
This
seems to me a necessary update considering people 200 years ago people were
closer to nature than we are today. Nature nowadays is competing with another
network, taking up all minds and space, and definitely not as kind and caring
as the original one.
a)
It’s our responsibility as homeopaths to advise a patient, knowing that:
·
First,
we have to be anchored ourselves to understand the bigger picture behind
disease manifesting and healing, and to find the best remedies. Your own
self-care will indirectly but definitely influence your patient’s health.
·
Then,
the best remedy can hardly compete with those 3 categories of obstacles, so do
not bother searching too much BEFORE those are tackled (although intercurrent remedies will help the patient coming
together) We need a radio, then to connect to the FM before searching for fine
tuning!
·
It’s
our responsibility as doctors to talk about a wider vision of health and
disease, and coaching our patients to be anchored. Don’t judge it, accept it as
it’s a fact and must
·
be
dealt with accordingly, and cared for every day.
It
is besides important to understand our limits, for the sake of the patient (and
ours!), not wasting time on either side, but also towards homeopathy, as
unsuccessful remedies only corroborate that hazardous reputation about
homeopathy.
Until
the obstacles are removed, classical chemical medicine might be the only one
working, fixing up one of the broken paths in order to keep going.
(I
think that Schuessler Salts are the most underrated
remedy to start with in unanchored patients, and for that reason helps out on
average 75% of my patients.)
b)
Anchoring exercises are to my point of view a very interesting way to let the patient
regain his responsibility towards healing, give him his part of the job, rather
than selling the almighty doctor with-a-wand image. Solutions come for within,
we are only showing the patient the path.
c)
When you are grounded and already aware of the general rules and laws of
nature, all you long for is individualization, which is homeopathy, and exactly
the opposite of the idea of ungrounded people who want
overall-statistically-proven drugs, and generalization. Just a different point
of view, both valid when you understand where it comes from…
d)
From a sociologic point of view, amongst non-anchored people, rich stay rich,
poor stay poor, and nobody really questions it because it seems so logical
after all. Only what you learn from adversity and (all) vibratory medicines can
change the vibration and the course of events, and influence growth.
Take-home
messages:
·
One
world, two kinds of people, three kinds of obstacles
·
Everyone
is doing his best on his own life-learning path
·
It’s
only by moderating extremism of views on our side that we can expect less
extremism on the other side.
·
The
more you need nature, the less you have it in you, so work on it consciously!
·
Be
anchored and coach your patients for much better results.
·
With
all my gratitude to the massage therapist who first told me about being
anchored years ago – and trust me I had no idea what she was talking about –
and to my homeopathic veterinary friends and teachers.
