Regarding Homeopathy's Science-Ejected Vitalism, 2008:,
By Robert J. Cullen "'Dr. Bob Ironic'" (Bridgeport, CT) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Alternative Medicine?: A History (Hardcover)
This book is an excellent example of homeopathy's underpinning vitalism / animatism / animism / dualism 'purposeful life spirit' figmentation {like naturopathy, which educationally per AANMC schools and licensure-wise per NPLEX examination, requires 'such' full-blown classical Hahnemannian homeopathy woo [labeled as clinical science!!!]}.I quote: "Hahnemann [...] believed that disease sprang not from a simple breakdown in the bodily mechanism [p.089...but from] the body's ethereal vital force [...therefore,] treatments needed to act on the metaphysical, rather than the corporeal, level [...] he argued that within all living bodies resided an innate healing power [...] 'the spirit-like vital force (dynamis) animating the material human organization' [...aka] vis medicatrix naturae - the healing power of nature [p.090...] 'dynamis' or vital force [...his] medicines more powerfully engaged the patient's vital force [...] 'by giving a remedy which resembles the disease the instinctive vital force is compelled to increase its vital energy' [etc. p.091]." -r.c. |
