View Article  Homeopathy alive and kicking

 

Congratulations to those who organised the British Homeopathic Congress (biennial Faculty of Homeopathy Congress), at the Barcelo Majestic Hotel, Harrogate (Yorkshire) last weekend. Warm wishes to those whom I met there and to those with whom there was insufficient time to chat. Three days just fly by. The venue was very welcoming, too, which makes a huge difference to such an event.

Congratulations, too, to the wide array of illustrious and stimulating speakers.

It was a warm, congenial, vibrant affair, showing that homeopathy is still very much alive and evolving, despite what some might like to think.

It was great to see such a meeting of minds and hearts, from an eclectic mix of professions (medics (physicians), vets, podiatrists, dentists, non-medical homeopaths etc.), from all over the world.

Veterinary homeopathy marches on - we are currently in the throes of the VetMFHom examinations, in Australia, South Africa and the UK. I wish all the candidates good luck in their endeavours. We are looking forward to other countries taking part, where folk are nearing that point of their training. Japan and Italy are among these.

View Article  UFOs and all that

 

I just love a mystery. I also love the notion that, in our modern, vain world, we hardly scratch the surface of knowledge and understanding, despite our pride in our 'scientific achievements'.

Files are being published by the MoD today, showing reports of Unidentified Flying Objects. Some may have rational explanations.

Among them, one particlar 'incident' is quite unsolved, however, and sounds very 'real'. An Alitalia passenger jet pilot, on a flight to Heathrow, reported a brown, missile-like object nearby. Great stuff. There's one in the eye for the sceptics.

As there's so much going on around Kent, one might fancifully wonder whether it mightn't have been an arrow that got Harold at Hastings, after all . . . . .
