Drs.J.P.Prinsloo Incorporated is the oldest Homoeopathic Practice in South Africa. The Practice was established in 1956 by (Prof)Dr.J.P.Prinsloo ND,DO,DHom,PhD,PhD(Hons).
The practice was registered as an incorporated company in 2002 and is continued by Dr.Johan P.Prinsloo ND,DO,DHom,Dsc.
Drs.J.P.Prinsloo Incorporated specialises in Homoeopathy. This means that only Homoeopathically Prepared Medicines are dispensed. The practice has a well-established National and International Patient Base and has gained wide acclaim for it's successes in Chronic and so-called "Incurable" (Diuturnological*) conditions. The practice nevertheless functions as a general/family practice and also attends to Minor and Acute Conditions.
*(Diuturnology refers to Chronic "Incurable" "difficult-to-treat" conditions)
The
Revolutionary Revival of Homeopathy in spite of its Demolishment by
the World Media
Anyone who reads the papers, watches the
news or listens to their radios over the years might be forgiven for
wondering what the media's demolishment of homeopathy from
time-to-time was all about. It often follows soon after reports like
those published on 24th August 2005, which stated that Prince
Charles commissioned a study on the economic benefits of Homoeopathy
and other forms of alternative and complementary medicine and
reports like the one in The Times UK on 21st August 2005 which
stated that 'demand for alternative therapies such as acupuncture
and homeopathy is soaring and people are increasingly using their
medical insurance to pay for it'.
This kind of news appears to send the pharmaceutical companies into a flat spin, sending them into coordinated overdrive to get all their favourite medical and science correspondents to put out highly negative stories about homeopathic medicine in newspapers all around the world. These reports are usually based on very biased unfavourable studies on homeopathy published in journals like the Lancet which state that the benefits of homeopathy could be all in the patient's mind.
The ferocity of the media attacks can only mean one thing - that there is a huge rise in popularity of homeopathic medicine and that it is now becoming a threat to the billion dollar drug industry!
This
worldwide revolution has taken place almost entirely by word of
mouth and by personal recommendation - a truly remarkable phenomenon
because up until now the media has studiously ignored and excluded
any positive news on the subject.
A
few years ago the programme Horizon on BBC 2 tried to demolish the
work of Dr. Jacques Benveniste whose studies proved that homeopathic
medicines work. Benveniste claimed his studies had been replicated
hundreds of times.
Dr. David Reilly of the Glasgow
Homeopathic Hospital has also conducted many such successful studies
and the Bristol Homeopathic Hospital has conducted long term studies
of the benefits of homeopathic treatment. All these homeopathic
hospitals, including the London Homeopathic Hospital reportedly have
at least 6 month waiting lists.
If
anyone needed proof of the efficacy of homeopathic medicine, they
need only study the statistics of various epidemics during the
1900s. In 1854 a cholera epidemic struck London. A report revealed
that under allopathic care the mortality was 59.2% whereas under
homeopathic care the mortality was only 9%. In the yellow fever
outbreak in the US in 1878, the mortality in New Orleans was 50%
under allopathic care and 5.6% for homeopathic care. Records of
three years of diphtheria in Broome County, New York from 1862 to
1864, show the mortality rate for allopaths as 83.6% and 16.4% for
homoeopaths.
There
are 220,000 homeopathic doctors in India and all over Europe,
especially France and Germany, homeopathy is hugely popular. The
Queen of England, who is arguably the richest woman in the world,
reportedly travels everywhere with a homeopathic first aid kit for
her and her staff. The kings and queens of Britain have always had
their own personal homeopathic doctor and for the last two centuries
the aristocracy has traditionally enjoyed the benefits of
homeopathic medicine. Many famous people, including MPs choose
homeopathic treatment. Tony Blair's sister-in-law, Lyndsey Booth,
changed careers from being a lawyer to becoming a qualified
homeopath. In South Africa we find that a large number of
Homoeopathy students are qualified professionals, such as
pharmacists, lawyers, medical practitioners, psychologists and the
like.
Is it possible that all these people have been deluded
into taking dummy pills, the effects of which are 'all in the mind',
in their imagination?! Hardly.
What
about animals and babies? How does the placebo effect work on them?!
As any homeopathic veterenarian will tell you, homeopathic medicine
works almost better on animals than on humans and likewise, babies
respond particularly well to treatment. Is it even possible to
explain to them that the homeopathic remedy alleviated their
symptoms, much less that the psychological effect of taking it
brought about the cure?!
Hippocrates
said there were two laws of cure - the law of opposites (orthodox
medicine) and the law of similars (homeopathy).
The
media often thrives on skewed trials intent on bringing down
homeopathy, akin to the kinds of trials we have to come to expect
from a pharmaceutical industry that gave the green light to such
medicines as thalidomide and Vioxx.
The fact of the matter is that homeopathy has enjoyed a huge rise in popularity for one simple reason and that is because it works!
