Reply To Hahnemann's Position On Vaccination: A Call To Rethink., Rudi Verspoor
Reply To Hahnemann's Position On Vaccination: A Call To Rethink., Rudi Verspoor
Indian Journal of Research in Homoeopathy

I argue that Hahnemann made clear that vaccination did not provide immunity, and never can. I further argue that there are better alternatives to vaccination in terms of boosting the immune system, and …
Healing Sanctuary, Kammy Downs
Healing Sanctuary, Kammy Downs
Master's Theses
The natural world has hidden wisdom and resources that are disregarded as we misuse our responsibility to care for them. The benefits of being in tune with nature have been traded for a culture that manipulates nature on the altar of expediency, waste, and unquenchable desire. Healing Sanctuary presents a duality. My work speaks about the relationship between the seen and unseen, represented by ten larger-than-life drawings of medicinal herbal plants that have had a profound physical healing effect on me. At the same time, plants, roots, and seeds create visceral metaphors for mental health. Our accomplishments, outlook on life, …
