That's not a placebo!

How many times have you heard that homeopathy is at best a placebo?

If I received a penny every time I had to refute that argument, I would… well, the pennies would be piling up for me.

So I want to give you the perfect reply to this untenable line of argument — think of it as an early Christmas present for you.

The old maple tree and homeopathy

When I lived in Canada, a magnificent old maple stood on our property. I estimate it must have been at least 18 m tall and it might have taken three people with outstretched arms to wrap around the trunk. The large canopy stretched out for several metres!

This tree was ancient. Our neighbours, who had lived here for three generations and knew it from many stories, estimated the tree's age at about 200 years.

Just think about it: that mighty maple must have been a small seedling when the homeopathic idea was just beginning to sprout in Dr Samuel Hahnemann's mind! And while that tree was growing in Canada, homeopathy was spreading across the world!

Our tree had led a healthy life and had grown splendidly until our neighbours decided to dig a swimming pool.

Tree roots and blood vessels

Although the tree stood on our property, its canopy extended well beyond the property boundary, as I mentioned above. Normally a tree's roots spread across the full diameter of its canopy, just underground. But to make matters worse, maples are known for quite aggressive root systems that often extend beneath a pruned and carefully tended crown.

Please take a moment, close your eyes and imagine the root network of a tree. Which structure of the human body does that resemble?

Yes! You guessed correctly! A tree's roots are comparable to our circulatory system. Both systems transport life-giving nutrients through a complex network.

Hamamelis for injuries to blood vessels

When the excavation for our neighbours' pool began, the root system of our tree was severely damaged and the corresponding side of the maple immediately began to suffer.

And then? What could I do homeopathically to help my tree?

I often gave my trees and plants Schuessler salts to keep them vigorous and healthy. That might have been a good starting point.

Once we had a fierce storm and our maple lost some large branches. At that time I treated it with Arnica 30. It is possible that Arnica alone would have been helpful here as well.

But essentially this was a massive injury to the plant's "circulatory system" — an injury that, in its extent, could have killed this venerable and majestic tree!

This situation demanded more. So I used the same method I use to treat injuries to the human vascular system and gave my maple Hamamelis 200 in combination with Arnica 3. Further information on dosage and potentisation can be found here.

The application is very simple. You can simply dissolve the two remedies in a watering can full of water and pour it over the root area. And lo and behold, our maple recovered and the stressed foliage began to green again.

More than just a placebo

But how was that possible? Opponents of homeopathy like to claim that homeopathy is nothing more than a placebo! Did my conversation with Buster — with whom I was chatting enthusiastically while watering the maple — somehow convince the tree that homeopathy would help it? Yes, exactly! That must be it! The tree eavesdropped on us!

Obviously it wasn't like that. Plants do not possess mechanisms that make them believe a remedy might help them. Okay, okay, we now know that plants have sense organs, but whether that makes them good listeners…?

Folks, if this story is not to be taken as proof of homeopathy's effectiveness, then I don't know what else would be.

Are you tech-minded and would like hard evidence? I've already presented the following video about an interesting study (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIDRFeaPFYg), but I think it's worth showing it again. Watch this video — it's only two minutes long. There you can see how the effectiveness of homeopathy was investigated using duckweed.

And that is certainly not a placebo!

Homeopathy helps — spread the word!

Warmly,

Yours,
