Research on combination homeopathic remedies

As many of you know, I've been working with King Bio for the last little bit. I did some writing with Dr. Frank King back in 1998 when we published a little "Guide to Homeopathy." It was enlightening and invigorating working with Dr. King and sharing his vision.

Now, I've become the Public Relations guy for the company. It's a great feeling working to spread the good news about homeopathy and King Bio specifically. I've been trying hard to create an online presence in the homeopathic world, posting on forums, reading and submitting articles to journals, and generally getting a feel for what the current state of homeopathy is.

Now I've been asked to write an article on current research and theory behind the combination remedies being produced by Dr. King at King Bio. Quite exciting news, this is! Since I know so little about how Dr. King first developed his homeopathic remedies over twenty years ago, I look forward to some lively discussions with him over the next couple of weeks as I try to write this challenging (and rewarding!) article.

I promise to keep you informed as the research and theory comes in!

State of Minnesota ahead of the curve!

I just read that low-income citizens in the state of Minnesota can receive state-funded complementary and alternative medicine. Further research is required into what exactly will be covered, but it sure sounds like a great start. Down the article, the republican representative who authored the law recognized how alternative medicine might just save the state a whole lot of money.

I sure wish we had more forward thinking legislators!

classical versus contemporary homeopathy forum

For the last several weeks I've been looking into the differences of opinion between classical homeopathy, or homeopathy where a homeopath utilizes only one remedy at one specific potency at a time, and contemporary homeopathy where multiple remedies and potencies are combined together into one new remedy. Seeing as how my knowledge base of homeopathy is very limited, it has been quite an eye-opening process.

The main arguments against combination homeopathics seem to be that as a patient experiences results with a combination, it is difficult to know which remedy or potency is creating a change. Homeopaths like to utilize the least amount of intervention possible, so I can see how this would be an issue for them.

The main arguments for combination homeopathics seem to be their ease of use. The latest postings on the forum linked to above discuss how these combination homeopathics might just be the bridge allowing more of the mainstream to see the power and effect of homeopathy.

Check out the forums. Leave a post. Bless us with your opinions.
