Guest guest Posted February 5, 2007 Report Share Posted February 5, 2007 All the best in your endeavours: On a similar type of subject I would like to express my view on Homeopathy. Many folk in many fields either embrace homeopathy or deride it to their best of the abilities. It is supposed that these things cannot work, yet work which is not even recent anymore has shown that parts of less than one billionth can indeed have a profound effect on our body and its systems. It has been proven now that parts in less than a billionth which supposedly have no effect on our body or environment were completely wrong. Many fish and frogs and other creatures that live in waterways that have been cleaned of toxic wastes to parts of less than a billionth have shown abnormalities caused by the very substances believed to have been diluted to safe quantities. The reason these substances are effecting the systems and indeed those of humans as well as show by the cancer rates and other abnormalities in people in these areas using the water is that when the substances/elements/compounds/chemicals reach such low parts, the immune system and defences of the bodies including those of frogs and fish no longer are able to register and detect these invaders thus the immune system stays silent and fundamental changes to the DNA can and do occur. This was first found in areas where gold mining had taken place. Now using macrobiotics certain Algae are being used to eat up the traces of these chemicals and elements and indeed a profitable business has been made in collecting the gold and other chemicals from these waters. The same effects must work for homeopathy, the parts of less than a billionth really do work cause they slip under the immune system. It wont be long before it becomes mainstream medicine, it is a given thing, unless of course it is prevented by laws and bills and such. Bless you all, Leslie Re: Lavender oil linked to abnormal breat development in boys! ________________________________ Several of us in the UK have been taking this report apart piece by piece. Tony Burfield will hopefully pull all the comments together into an article and/or reply which doubtless will be posted here. What I spotted though was that the consultant responsible for the unit that did the research, got general funding from Pfizer, Eli Lilly and other drug companies. Ever heard of pleasing your masters!!

Hi Martin, I am certainly not supporting this shoddy research and sympathetically acknowledge your inference, however, I think we need to be absolutely accurate. " General " funding is not what is stated. Let me quote the NEJM publication: " Dr. Bloch reports receiving grant support and lecture fees from Eli Lilly, Genetech, Novo Nordisk, Pfizer, Tercia, and Serono. No other conflict of interest relevant to this article was reported. " This disclosure statement does not indicate that funding for this particular study came from any of those pharmas, but it does not specifically state that it doesn't. One would assume (in the ethical world we perceive it to be) that the disclosure indicated past project funding and lecture fees, however, in this day and age, one cannot assume anything. The statement is certainly ambiguous and certainly begs ethical questions if funding for the research came from any of those companies, and I think we would be wise to question whether that wording might be intentionally ambiguous. Certainly, any omissions or lack of clarity in the statement in this regard begs closer investigation. Don't think any of us here have the journalistic clout, nor subpoena power to get the facts behind that disclaimer, it's going to take a whole new government to reverse current watered-down ethical standards and regulation. Better to attack the science itself. Be Well, Marcia Elston http://www.wingedseed.com " Give thanks for a little and you will find a lot.
