I HAD A DREAM
— Katja Schütt
This night I had a wonderful dream
I had never dreamed before
I dreamed the world had all agreed
To see the benefit of homeopathic healing law.I dreamed I saw a mighty room
Filled with women and men
And the paper they were signing said
They’d never fight again.The allopaths were glad to learn
How the law of similars applied
And were working with homeopaths hand in hand
Making the Hippocratic Oath the universal guide.All homeopaths joined hands and bowed their heads
Agreements about education and practice were made
They ceased to be discordant minds
And grateful prayers were prayed.And the people all over the world
Were dancing round and round
As every living thing on our precious earth
Could help defeat disease, with that which Hahnemann found.Deep, deep in my heart, I do believe
We will make it one day
And humans, animals and plants,
will heal with homeopathy and live in a peaceful way.[1]
Some time ago Dr. Manish Bhatia asked for support in his “Fight Back” for homeopathy. He got a big response
from the homeopathic community but not many international homeopathic organizations, schools and pharmacies agreed to support the appeal, so I had the idea to ask them directly. For me, being a homeopath not only means to practice this healing art, but also to fight for it, so that I will be able to practice in the future.
Homeopathy is used for humans, animal and plants in over 80 countries throughout the world and a constant growth is noted, although there are still countries in which the word “homeopathy” is quite foreign. In some countries it is integrated into the public health care system. Often, it is exclusively limited to doctors, but elsewhere non-medical professionals are qualified to practice. In some countries, no quality standards for homeopathic education exist, or the quality is quite low. In other places, there are problems with the availability of homeopathic medicines, or pharmacies are forced by laws and regulations to change the manufacturing procedures, resulting in deviation from Hahnemann’s original instructions. And of course, homeopathy has always had its detractors.
Despite all these obstacles to practicing homeopathy, it has always been and will remain a healing art that requires profound knowledge, love and the desire to help the sick. With over 300 million patients using homeopathy, we homeopaths have a duty to offer the best possible education and to further advance our own healing skills. I think
Hpathy.com has established one of the best educational platforms where homeopaths can learn and exchange valuable information. Thank you so much for all your professional work and the time and heart you put into it!
Future articles will include the history and current status of homeopathy in different countries and the work of different international homeopathic organizations. Through this, we aim to give an overview of the practice of homeopathy throughout the world, to introduce the great work that homeopathic organizations have performed and to sensitize each other to the problems homeopaths in other countries are facing.
This is my contribution to strengthen the homeopathic community and to promote the worldwide expansion of homeopathy. I hope you will enjoy these articles.
