theBibleissilent.Weareonlyhuman.Inthiscase,atleast,ourerrorwasonthesideofcaution.
WithmanyissuesinChristianapologetics,theissuesarestraightforward.IfareligionliketheMormonsor
Jehovah'sWitnessesdeniestheTrinity,thenweknowthattheyareoffbasebecausetheTrinityisso

However,whenyougetintoareasthatdonotrelatetothefundamentalsofthefaith,andarenotclearly
dealtwithintheWordofYHWH,youcanrunintoproblems.
IthasbeeneightyearssinceIfirst(1991)puttogetherour"StraightTalk"onHomeopathy,andsince
thattime,IbelieveYHWHhasshownussomethingsthatweprayerfullyfeltweshouldsharesothat
you,asChristians,canmakeaninformedconsent.
In1991,the"StraightTalk"prettymuchcondemnedhomeopathyasanoccultpracticethatnoChristian
shouldengagein.Sincethattime,andthroughintensestudy,counsel,prayerandresearch,wehavecome
tochangeourmind.Butfirst,letusdefinewhatwearetalkingabout.Homeopathyisoneofawiderangeofholistichealingor"alternativemedicine"strategiesthathave
recently come to the fore. Naturopaths, Herbopaths, and Homeopathic healers have presented
themselvesasalternatives(oratleastcomplimentary)totraditionalMD's(called"allopaths")with
theirapproachoftreatingwithdrugs,surgeryorothertechnology.
Homeopathycomesfromtwowords.Theword"Homo"isrootedintheGreekwordforsimilarorthe
same.Forexample,HOMO-sexualsareattractedtotheSAMEsex. "Pathy" isrootedintheGreekfor
disease, liketheword "pathology." Thus, homeopathy is the concept of "likecuring like."Webster's
dictionarydefinesitinthisway:
[term]adopted(c.1800)bySamuelChristianHahnemann[Germanphysician],asystemofmedicaltreatmentbasedon thetheory that certaindiseases canbecuredbygiving very
smalldosesofdrugswhichinahealthypersonandinlargedoseswouldproducesymptomslikethoseofthedisease.(Seenote1)'
So, if Ihave a fever, I take aremedy that contains an incrediblyminutequantity ofa fever-producingsubstance.Thiswouldhealmeoratleastbringreliefofsymptomsaccordingtohomeopathictheory.

Let's broaden the scope foramoment, and thenwe canget into details Homeopathy is not exactlyNaturopathy.Weknow,becauseweareNaturopaths.Naturopathyisthepracticeofmedicinebynatural
means.Itisabroad-ranging fieldofhealingdisciplinesthat includevitamins,herbalism(givingpeopleherbsforhealing),colonictherapy,enzymes,massage,hydrotherapy,etc.
MywifespentmanyyearsasaNaturopathichealer,andIoftenassistedher.However,neitheroneofushadtheoccasiontostudymuchabouthomeopathy.
An Important Distinction in Healing
Thereis a fundamentalphilosophical differencebetweentheapproachesof allopaths (AMA doctors) and
Naturopathsandmostalternativehealingmethods(includinghomeopathy). It is thisthatweneed to
examinebeforewecanreallyunpackthewholeproblemofhomeopathy.
Forthousandsofyears,mostalldoctorsorhealersfromallculturesweareawareofbelievedinaconcept
knownas"Vitalism."Thiscomesfromtheword"vita"inLatin,meaninglife.TheessentialideabehindVitalismwastheideathatourCreatorYHWHputwithinlivingorganismsanaturaltendencytowardlife,
wholeness and balance. Youmight call it the soul, or youmight call it (asmodern scientists do)homeostasis.Vitalistshavebelievedthatallofcreatednatureincludingourbodyhastheinherent
abilitytoself-correcttomovetowardwellness.
This means that if you do something to a human body, certain incredibly complex mechanisms
immediatelymoveintoplaytobringthephysiologybackintobalance.Anexamplewouldbefainting.
Faintingisusuallycausedbyasuddenlossofbloodflowtothebrain.Thiscancomefromshock,froma
suddenblowtothehead,orevenfromstandinguptoofast.
Whenyou"feelfaint,"yourbodyhastheintelligencetoknowthatthebestthingtodoistogettheheaddowntothelowestplaceitcansothatbloodcanruntothebrain.Itshighestpriorityhastobetoprotect
andnourish thebrain.Soit "makes"youfalldown,even thoughwe call this"passingout"and it
frightensus,itisactuallyquitenatural.Thisiswhyapersonwho"feelsfaint"istoldtositdownat
onceandput theirheadbetweentheir legs.Itaccomplishesthe samethingandmaywardoff thefaintingspell.
Vitalistswereempirical,whichmeansthattheybelievedinobservingnature(i.e.thebody)andnoting
itsself-correctingactivities.This,theyfelt,wasthewaytobetterunderstandthebody.
A key idea in Vitalism was that you should do things when youarewell to maintain this
balanceandthiswouldmakeitlesslikelythatyouwouldgetsick.Forexample,thisisreflectedintheancientpracticeinChinaofpayingthedoctoraslongasyoustaywell,andthen-whenyou
becomeill you STOPpayinghimuntilyougetbetter.This is, ofcourse,yotallyopposite from
modernmedicine.
Today, somecall thistakingcareofthe balancewithin thebodyeither"prophylacticmedicine" or
"buildinguptheimmunesystem."Vitalistsviewedtheproblemofdiseaseasasignofanunderlying
imbalancesomewhereinthebodythatyourbodyistryingtocorrect,justlikethefainting.

Anotherexampleofthiswouldbeafever.Mostpeopledonotunderstandthatfeverisactuallyagoodthing.Whyshouldn'titbe?ItispartofthewayGoddesignedtheimmunesystem.Thebodyproducesa
feverwhentheimmunesystemsensesthattherearetoomanyforeignorganisms(germs,etc.)inthebloodstream.Itraisesthebody'stemperaturebecauseGodhassupplied thehumanimmunesystem
withtheunderstandingthatthehighertemperatureswillkilloffmostinvadingorganisms.
Thus,theVitalistobservesnatureandhelpsitinitscourse.TheyhavealwaysaskedWHYthingsare
happeningandthenacttoenhancethehealingforcesthatthehumanbodyalreadyhasbeengivenfrom
God.
ThebottomlinewithVitalismwasthebeliefintheinnateimpulsetowardlifeandbalanceinliving
thingsandthatthebestthingadoctorcoulddowassimplywhateverhecouldtofacilitatetheprocessof
healingthebodyisalreadydoing.TheVitalistpractitionerwouldsay,withHippocrates,"Idonotheal
anyone.OnlyYHWHcanheal."
Oddlyenough,thisHippocrates(apaganGreek(Seenote2))-asintheHippocraticoath(Seenote3)-is
felttobethe"father"ofmodern"mainstream"medicine.YethewasaVitalist.Heisalmostthe"patronsaint"oftheAmericanMedicalAssociation,andyettheAMAisonlynowbeginningtoBARELYcome
aroundtoHippocrates'wayofthinking.
The Mechanistic View
Ontheother hand,there is amedical philosophy thatis known as"Atomism."Atomism is radically
opposedtoVitalism.Ofcourse,weknowtheword"atom"asatiny,sub-molecularparticleofwhich
moleculesaremade.However,originally,theGreektermmeantthesmallestobjectpossible.Eventoday
weseethisinwordslike"atomizer"whichisasprayerthatreducesliquidslikeperfumestothetiniest
possiblespray.
Atomists(ledbyanotherGreekphilosophernamedDemocritus)believedthatthehumanbodyhad
nospiritualcomponentnorinnerintelligencebutthatitwasjustlikeplumbingoramachineofsorts.To
becertain, itwasawonderfullycomplexmachine,but itwasstillamachine.TheAtomistview,asbegunwithDemocritus,deniedanythingbeyondthematerialrealm.
Needlesstosay,themodernmainstreamdoctorstendtobeAtomists.Thoughtheywoulddon't
verbalizeitinthisway,theyessentiallyviewthemselvesasglorifiedplumbers!Lookattheir"Roto-
rooter"approachtothebody.Ifyourbloodvessels(pipes)arecloggedwithatheromaandyouhavehighbloodpressureorapluggedupartery,theyeithersendsometiny"Rotorooter"-likedeviceintothe
arteries to scourout the gunk, or they send in a balloon (angioplasty)which they inflate in theproblematicarteryandshovetheoffendingblockagestotheside-atleastforatime.(Seenote4)
Even the modern "wonder surgery" approach of the coronary bypass is essentially a plumbing
solution.Ofcourse,thismechanisticapproachworksverywellat thingslikefixingbrokenbonesor
removingbulletsfrompeople.MD'sare(orshouldbe)superbatsuchthings.
ButthedifferenceherebetweenVitalismandAtomismcouldnotbestronger.TheVitalist"plumber"

mightdosomethingofanherbalnaturetohelpoutthecloggingproblem,butheorshewouldalsowant

greasedownthepipes,theywilljustclogupagain.
Inasense,untilveryrecently,theAtomist-AMAapproachwasdisease-orsymptom-centered.Ifyouhad
aheadache,theygaveyouapilltomakethepaingoaway.Ifyouhavehighbloodpressure,theygive
youapillthatkeepsyourbrainfromsendingoutnerveimpulsesthatincreasethebloodpressure.Ifyou
haveabraintumor,theycutoutthetumor.Theywere,untiljustthelasttenorfifteenyearsorso,either
mystifiedorunconcernedwithWHYthepersonhashighbloodpressureorabraintumor.
Thus, while the Vitalist seeks to understand WHY things happen in nature, the Atomist is more
concernedwithcontrollingnaturewiththingslikesurgeryorantibiotics.
Oddlyenough, both surgeryand antibioticsarehighlydestructive tothe human immunesystem.
Surgerybreaksthebody'sownfirstlineofdefense,its"hermeticallysealed"skin.Ofcourse,inextremecasesitmaybenecessary.Antibioticskillbacteria,buttheyalsokillofbillionsofthe"friendly"bacteria
(Seenote5)inthestomachandgutthathelpthehumanbodystayaliveanddigestfoods,etc.Bothareakindof"devil'sbargain."
Obviously,thehomeopath,theherbalist,andmostotheralternativemedicinetypesaremoreintheVitalistcamp.AMAmedicineisonlyrecentlybeing"dragged,"kickingandscreaming,intotheideaof
preventativemedicine.Insteadofwaitinguntilsomethingisbrokenandthen fixing it;maybeifwetaughtthemgooddietprinciplesandhowtolivesoastooptimizetheimmunesystem,theywouldn't
get"broken"inthefirstplace.
Thinkofthewholecontroversyasthisparable:Therewasatownwhereastreetendedina
hugecliff.Often,driversandpedestrianswouldunknowinglydriveorwalkoffthecliffandend
up crashing a hundred feet below. The ALLOPATH Town Council voted and said that an
excellentteamofparamedicsshouldbeassignedatthebottomoftheclifftocartpeopleoffto
the hospital and fix them up set fractures, take care of concussions, etc. But the
NATUROPATHICminoritysaid,Wouldntitbecheaperandlesspainfultojustputupsigns

Now,considerthisforamoment.WhichofthesetwophilosophicalsystemsaremoreBiblical?Itisnota

(Gen.2:7)Essentially, trueAtomistsmustbeDarwinianevolutionists.Otherwisetheywouldhave to
believe inandacknowledgetheexistenceofYHWHascreatorandadivineintelligencebehindthemaintainingofourbodies.
Our DilemmaNow,backtous.Whenpeoplestartedcontactingusaboutwhetherornothomeopathywasa
problem,we didn't have a answer. TheBible (obviously)nowhere says "Thoushaltnotuse
homeopathy."SincetherewasnoclearstatementfromtheBible,Iconsultedacoupleof"experts"in
medicineorspiritualwarfare.Theproblemwas(inretrospect),bothwereChristiansbutalsoMD'sand
thustheirtraininggavethemabuilt-inbiasagainstsomethingVitalistlikehomeopathy.
Oneofthepeoplewetalkedwithactuallytoldusthathomeopathicremedieswere"bottleddemons"
andthattheLordhadtoldherthis.Wewerefairlynewatthistypeofsubject(sinceneitherSharon
orIhadeverbeenhomeopaths),andsowetookheratherword.Ofcourse,thereisnotexactlyany
scripturalbasisforbottlingdemons,butwepassedonthat.
Onthestrengthofthesetwopersons'condemnationofhomeopathy,wementionedit inourbook,
BLOODONTHEDOORPOST,andwrotethe"StraightTalk."However,wewereabouttolearnthe
truthbehindthemaxim,"Foolsrushinwhereangels feartotread." In theyearssincethen,Ibegan
runningintosolidChristians-evenpastors-whodisagreedwiththatposition.Sharon,especially,feltthatthereshouldbemoreresearchdoneintothissubjectbeforewecontinuedtocondemnit.
So,inmysparetime,Ibegantoreallydigintothistopic.WhatIfoundamazedme.Homeopathyhas,in
oneformoranother,beenaroundforthousandsofyears(notthatthis,inandofitself,makesitallright).
EvenHahnemannacknowledgedthathejusthadre-discoveredit.Suchtoweringgiantsinthehistoryof
medicineasHippocratesandParacelcustaughttheprincipleof"likecureslike."Indeed,Hippocrates
wrote,in400B.C.,"Throughthelike,diseaseisproduced,andthroughtheapplicationofthelike,itiscured." (Seenote6)Additionally,I foundthat inEurope andtheUS,virtually all homeopathsare
medicaldoctors,withfullmedicalschooltraining.
Now,inouroriginalStraightTalk,wegavethefollowingguidelinesfordeterminingifahealingpracticewasallrightornot:
Guideline#1:AnythingwhichisspecificallyforbiddenintheHolyBibleshouldbedefinitelyavoided
like the plague. The most obvious such technique would be divination or fortune telling.
However,virtuallyallholisticor"alternative"methodologiesarenotmentionedspecificallyintheBible.Fortheseweneedotherguidelines.
(Asmentioned above,homeopathy isnotmentioned in the Bibleoneway or the other. Of
course,neitherischemotherapynorcardiacsurgery.)
Guideline#2:Weneedtoask:Canthisprocessortreatmentbetrackedscientificallyorisit
dependentuponvaguelydefined"energies"or"vitalspirits"whicheludescientificanalysis.
Wecanmeasurechemicallythechangesthattakeplacewhenapersontakesanaspirin.Ifthis
cannot be done with the healing technique, be careful. (We still stand by this statement.

However, recent scientific advances are examined below that may relate to homeopathy.
Homeopathsdoacknowledgethatthereisnoclearunderstandingofwhyitworks.Thatmaybecomingsoon,ormayalreadybeuponus.)
Guideline#3:A treatment that isscientificallyprovablewill (allotherthings beingequal)
work the sameway all the time.The essence ofscience is this repeatability. Ifyou cannot
writeupthestepstakeninthetreatmentandgivethemtoanotherscientistandhavehimrepeat the steps to produce the identical result, then what we are talking about is not
scientific,butsomethingofaspiritualnature.Thus,aspirinisadependableanalgesic.Itworks
the samewayalmostall the time.Thus,aspirineventhoughderived fromanherb(white
willowbark)isscientific.
(SincewritingtheoriginalStraightTalk,wehavelearnedthathomeopathyishighlyscientific,
bothinitsformulationandinitsapplication.Moreonthisinamoment.)
Guideline#4:Ifthetreatmentseemstobemorespiritualthanscientific,thentwoquestions
mustbeasked:
1) What worldview is reflected in the origin and practice of the treatmentChristian or
pagan?
2)Does the treatmentgive glory to the LordYahshua theMessiah (Jesus ChristsHebrew
name) and does it fall within Biblical precedents for healing? (Here is the question. Ishomeopathy spiritual? Is it "bottled demons?" Or is it just using a more subtle form of
interactingwithhumanphysiologythanmostofuscanunderstand?Thisisakeyquestion!)
Are There Deeper Forces at Work?ExaminingGuideline#2ingreaterdetail,wefindourselvestryingtounderstandwhysomethingassubtle
as homeopathyworks. Letus examine the way it isclaimed to work.Homeopathic remediesare
substantiallycomposedofdistilledwater,sugar,andoccasionallyalcohol.First,herbs,mineralsoreven

Theseremedies arethen prepared in potencieswhicharemeasured in either "X", "C" or "N." It is
importanttounderstandthatinHomeopathyitisbelievedthatthemoredilutedthepotencyis,the stronger the remedy is believed to be. The potency increases with each dilution. The
reasoningbehindthisbelief(whichwouldseemtobecontrarytocommonsense)isthateachtime
thesesolutionsarediluted,theyareshakenviolently.Thisisreleases"vitalenergy"intotheliquid.

Thisissomewhatliketheoccultworldviewofpantheismoranimism.Butthereisadifference.WeunderstandfromtheBiblethatsoulsaretheprincipleoflife(seeGen.2:7).Bearinginmindthelawof

A Cautionary Note on Humility
Moreandmorescientificresearchisgivingvaliditytotheideaofvitalessencefromapurelymaterialistic
perspective.Itrecently(1985-97)appearsthattheremaybeascientificbasisforthisVitalisminactual

otherstudiesinAsia(Seenote12)indicatethattheremaybescientificreasonsfortheeffectivenessofsuch
formerlyexoticmethodsofhealingashomeopathyandacupuncture.Thevitalessenceofhomeopathy
(similartowhatiscalledChiinChinesemedicine)mayactuallybescientific.
Thus,wemustproceedwithhumilityandnotassumethatwesternscienceistheonlywaytogo.The

thattheChinese,intheiruseofChi,havesimplydiscoveredadifferenttechnologyofhealingwhichis

simplyOBSERVEDtheeffectsofbasicherbalcombinationsandacupunctureoverthecenturiesandput

Wemustrememberthatdoctorshaveneverhad"alltheanswers."Thingswhichweremedicaldogma

Inreality,theentirebasisforhomeopathyisbasedonempiricaldata-whathomeopathscallthe "Lawof
Proving." The homeopathic concept of "like cures like" emerged through testing. Originally, Dr.
Hahnemann(1755-1843)wasintriguedbywhythedrugquininecuredmalaria.Atthetime,medicinehadallsortsoftheories,butnoproof.
ItoccurredtoHahnemannasahypothesisthatperhapsquininecuredmalariabecauseitproducedthe
sameeffectsasmalariainahealthyperson.Hetestedthisonhimself.Sincehedidnothavemalaria,he
tookquininetoseewhateffectitwouldhaveonhim.Amazingly,itproducedallthesymptomsofmalariainhisbody.Now,Hahnemannwasenoughofascientisttorealizethatoneexperimentdoesnotprovean
hypothesis-especiallywhenthe"testsubject"isthescientistwhowantstoprovethehypothesistobe
valid.Heunderstoodtheplaceboeffect.
Thus,Hahnemannwentoutandfoundmanyfriendsandstudentsandbegantestinginearnest.This
wasthegenesisofthe"LawofProving."Formorethan150years,allhomeopathicremedieshavecomethroughthisprovingprocess.Indoubleblind,scientificstudies(thesamewaypharmaceuticaldrugs

Inallmyresearch, itwasclaimedthathomeopathicremediesworkaswell (ifnotbetter)andasconsistently as any pharmaceutical compound in the area of pathologies where they have been
proven.ButIwasstillnotconvinced.Iknewthepowerofthehumanmind,andtheplaceboeffect.(Seenote16)Perhaps itwasjustworkingbecauseallthesepeoplebelieveditwouldwork.I kept
