What is most important, the fact that a person survives or how a person survives? I would argue that the way a person survives is very important. That when a person is compromised in any realm — mentally, physically or spiritually — they do not have optimum health and without optimum health satisfaction and freedom are compromised.
I learnt in a biology lesson at school when I was around twelve or thirteen years old that we humans are blessed with something called homeostasis. Which means that our bodies have an inbuilt mechanism so that if a part of our body is damaged and out of sync, the body creates symptoms to compensate and maintain an overall balance. So the idea of treating symptoms without treating the cause of the problem is not going to lead to cure, quite the opposite, and that is the reason why those that prescribe petrochemicals never talk about ‘healing’ or ‘cure’ but ‘managing patients’ and it is why the pharmaceutical industry can boast to its shareholders that they have customers for life. It is also why if homeopaths mention the word ‘cure’ on their website they are going against ASA standards and risk their website being taken down. If the big guys don’t aim to cure then no one can, or else, capice?
As a homeopath, I believe the innate capabilities of all life forms should be respected and self-healing stimulated when out of synch, which is a method that in my experience works very well as long our bodies haven’t been damaged beyond repair. As humans we have an innate survival instinct, so that if we are healthy and attacked, we fight back in an attempt to save ourselves. This is true on all levels; physical, mental and spiritual. This fight for life has been installed in us by God if you are religious or by the Creator of the universe if you are not, and is common to all living things on Earth and therefore a sign of health within any living being. The opposite is true if that instinct has been thwarted. The idea that people align themselves with an ideology or a people that will harm them is not healthy. Children propagandised into gender-affirming surgery is not healthy. White people propagandised into believing they are inherently racist is not healthy. Jewish people, gay people, in fact everyone who does not adhere to strict shariah law and supports Islamic jihadists is not healthy. Governments that no longer work for their citizens, but for big organisations, big corporations and big banks are not healthy. Western society has come along way down the road of emotional, physical and spiritual ill health.
Take just one aspect of how the world’s population have been collectively propagandised over many decades. Take the pharmaceutical industry and their agents, the medics. Few of us have questioned the history of the medical profession and the ‘medicine’ they prescribe. Allopathic petrochemical drugs were the brainchild of John D. Rockefeller, the founder of Standard Oil and The Rockefeller Foundation. Initially funding the Nazi eugenics programme, the foundation now funds Wellcome and most recently co-funded the simulation Event 201 where world leaders were briefed on how to respond to a forthcoming pandemic now called Covid19. Petrochemical drugs are formulated to abate symptoms for a short period of time, necessitating the need to repeat taking them ad infinitum, and in doing so undermine homeostasis as described above. Many of my own patients whilst I was in full time practice initially came to see me with shopping lists of medicines that they were currently taking. I would ask them to go through the story of how they ended up taking so many. Each story followed a similar trajectory; the first medicine caused ‘a side effect’ that necessitated a prescription for the next drug and so on and so forth. They might have started off with a relatively superficial symptom like constipation or a skin eruption, but by the time they came to see me they often had far more serious pathology. So, I guess what I’m trying to say is many people, including Jewish Holocaust descendants, both religious and secular, truly believe in the premise of ‘modern medicine’ and in doing so have become slaves to the pharmaceutical industry, placing sophistry above what was bestowed upon us naturally.
Back in 2014, I had already been a qualified homeopath for over twenty years, and was what the right wing establishment would call a ‘lefitie’. Protecting the environment and being kind to others mirrored everything I believed in and I therefore, historically, always voted for the Green Party to mirror my political aspirations. But in 2014, thanks to social media, I began to question my allegiances when every mainstream news channel castigated Israel during the 2014 Gaza war that was started by Hamas indiscriminately attacking Israel with rockets aimed at schools and civilian towns and villages. Having been sent a video through Facebook of a Malaysian policeman (discerned firstly by his uniform which was very different from those worn by the Israeli police or IDF followed by an internet search) hitting a man on his knees with a stick and a voiceover claiming this is what Israelis do to Arabs. I was instinctively motivated to know what the Green Party had to say on this issue and fell upon a website called Greens Engage, which has since been taken down. It highlighted a discussion between Green Party members that spotlit a high ranking member of the party taking the stage at some political event and giving an oration that would have made Hitler proud. Suffice to say, it was at that point that I continued to research political parties and in consequence changed my voting habits considerably, based on characters and their party’s policies, and not just some hippy-dippy love-in-theory that had previously. motivated me And I haven’t stopped researching and questioning politicians and media hype both mainstream and social, ever since.

I must have been around 7 or 8 years old when one of my school friends told me that she wasn’t allowed to watch television because it was brainwashing people with subliminal (she didn’t use that word) messaging. I went home and tried to discern what secret messages were being transferred to me during Batman, The Avengers and Top of the Pops. Needless to say, I didn’t discover anything, but the messaging was there in everything we watched and most of us became hopelessly addicted to artifice.
Roll the clocks forward another sixty years and look around at what we in the western hemisphere have become. Too many of us have completely lost touch with anything natural. So many of us are addicted to artifice on every level. We are not just addicted to television, but to consuming products on every level and now to an automated world that is threatening to undermine, replace and totally enslave us.
A few weeks ago, I was invited to attend a meeting with Alyth Gardens Synagogue book group to talk about my novel, Ash on the Vine. I’m pleased to say that the evening went very well with lively conversation following questions and anecdotes concerning the writing of the novel. One of the main themes addressed in the story is intergenerational trauma spotlighting a family whose grandparents were victims of the Holocaust.Towards the end of our session, we talked briefly about the theme of intergenerational trauma as written about in my book. I brought up a quote from an unpublished piece of writing initially intended as a foreword to Ash on the Vine, where the character Gideon, who is doing a Phd in descendants of Holocaust survivors, gives a lecture about Jewish guilt, amongst other things. You can read the lecture here. I was asked if I thought we could be cured and immediately said, ‘no’, then spent much of the night tossing and turning, regretting my instinctive response. I have since thought a great deal about people turning against themselves, myself included.
In my first year of senior school, many years ago, I had the unfortunate experience of being roughed up in the toilet area by three girls who told me that my mother is a Jewish whore. My mother was very young when she had me. She was very beautiful and fashionable in her early thirties, and no doubt was wearing a mini skirt or hot pants when these girls spied on her coming to collect me. Instead of taking exception to the antisemitic slur, for a while I sucked up to these bully girls. I ask myself now, what made me side with the enemy? And I answer; wanting to be liked. Wanting to be perceived as a good person. Wanting peace and harmony. But everything has a price, and as Melanie Phillips writes peace on Earth is not harmony but demands a surrender of our own personal agency. Gad Saad calls it ‘suicidal empathy’. Basically, it is people turning against themselves.
I recognise similar behaviour in: Jews who befriended Jeremy Corbyn when he was the head of the Labour party, a man who counted Hamas terrorists amongst his friends; Vera Sharav, a Holocaust survivor who fiercely demonstrated against the CV19 injections because they were experimental and against the Nuremberg Code but who very soon after 7/10 accused Israel of genocide for fighting back in defence of her citizens; The gays who march for the victory of jihadists who would throw them off a roof for their sexual orientation; The parents who agreed to giving their pre-pubescent children puberty suppressing hormones; Sex workers for Palestine. There is a word for this kind of mindset; it is called Stockholm Syndrome. Nickolas Andreas said, ‘Stockholm Syndrome is an auto immune disease of the mind’.
Homeopathy is a system of medicine that is based on the paradigm of like cures like. Whatever can harm in a certain way can heal those same characteristic symptoms. It is a bit like looking in the mirror in order to make otherwise unseen adjustments. So whatever can cause a particular dis-ease state, can cure that same dis-ease state in a sufferer. The healing ability of our remedies are elicited through provings, where the provers (who have no idea what substance they are taking) ingest a heavily diluted form of the substance daily for a while, and during the proving they keep a diary and also keep in daily contact with their proving supervisor. At the end of the proving all symptoms are collated and the symptom picture that comes through most strongly for the provers becomes the prescribing symptomatology for the remedy.
This is the mental/emotional state that came through for participants during the proving of Ring Dove (wood pigeon):
Guilt
Delusions he has done wrong
Has no will of his own.
Yielding disposition.
Issues with sex
An emotional state like grief.
The idea of suppression that leads to cancer.
A state of peacefulness, with a sense that it is deceptive.
Softness, tenderness and gentleness are felt.
Needing to serve.
Strong feeling of community.
Suppression of anger.
Great sadness.
Suppression of grief.
Naiveté.
Ability to console and love the aggressor
For me, the question is not can we be cured of succumbing to the indoctrinated thought processes of the enemy.
The question is, will we?
