I spent some time studying with Peruvian shamans and I use some of their modalities with clients, but I talk about it in terms of “the realm of narrative, analogy, and metaphor.” My professional work definitely involves areas that fall outside of medical science in terms of Bacon’s method (for now), and yet, work where other things fail.
It brings me to two questions: what are the limitations of science, and what are the *current* limitations *within* science. What don’t we know how to test for because we lack the tools or even the framework for such tests? Surely the reason western medicine is no longer improving life quality-over-span now that we’ve hit the apex of sanitation and food availability isn’t because we aren’t sciencing hard enough for materialistic mechanisms and materialistic interventions?
The limitations are thus: if you can’t profit ($) from a thing, it does not deserve study. It is therefore not useful or valid (scientifically). There being many many things that would be curative and helpful therefore are purged from scientific inquiry. Also these things are scorned and given ad hominem treatment. The other thing is that people don’t want an honest answer but an easy one. Exercise and eat good food? Too hard. Gimme a pill goddammit.
Some things don’t fit into the contemporary framework of AB testing given what we know how to test with and for, though. We *have* the Heisenberg Principle. We know about quantum interference. And there’s only almost *everything* we *don’t* know about electro-magnetics. I’ve seen healing happen, real, measurable, healing, in people where science says it shouldn’t be possible. But when we try to subject it to AB testing, it falls apart.
Bone marrow transplant after relapse bought me time. But homeopathy saved my life and is the reason I’m healthier than I’ve ever been 8 years later. How do you test for that?
we also have the problem of “science” saying they know things that they actually don’t..climate change, impact of genetically modified mosquitos, RNA therapies, etc. we should have testing on the orders of multiple generations, not fiscal quarters.
Well you can't really but don't tell too many (of the wrong sorts of) people or they will want to make it illegal. Not even kidding unfortunately. Beautiful to hear however. I think I will sneak on over to your substack to see if you have anything interesting on there...
The FDA is definitely trying to regulate it out of existence. The CDC is openly hostile and the entire shadow information infrastructure of the weaponized web smears it at every opportunity.
Given what we've just seen, I wear that as a badge of honor.
Sarah, I agree with you 100%, and have written about this myself. The one group of people that were not surprised when the CDC suppressed effective medicines during COVID were homeopaths.

Agreed. People constantly ask me what I do to be in the shape I’m in. When I tell them they either sigh or roll their eyes. I don’t have many takers.
I'd love to hear about it....
