Western Mass Business Show 6.27.20

In The Western Mass. Business Show

Tune in Saturday, June 27th @ 11 am to hear Ira speak with Abby Beale of Clinical Alternative Medicines. Abby is a homeopath, and tells of the development of Samuel Hahnemann’s 19th century idea of “like cures like,” so that the process of diluting and shaking the substance increases its healing energy. Is it a placebo? Because it does work on babies and animals. How it’s the whole person that is being treated, so you will not get the same remedy as your sibling, even if you both have migraines. We also discuss the history of homeopathy being respectable, and then besieged by the newly formed AMA. And what treatment is like for you, for what ails you today; including during the pandemic, where social distancing is required.
