We started publishing homeopathic medicine cases in 2005.
Many told me I would kill our credibility, that it was “pseudoscience” or that no serious medical journal would touch it. I was told I’d never attract conventional doctors as readers.
I published them anyway.
Not just homeopathy, but the full therapeutic spectrum: botanical medicine, nutraceutical interventions, food as medicine, IV therapies, mind-body techniques. And yes, pharmaceuticals when warranted, because that’s what the therapeutic order actually teaches us.
Here’s what happened over 20 years:
The homeopathy market grew 18% in 2023 alone, with nearly 40% of US adults now using complementary health approaches including homeopathy. Post-COVID, respiratory homeopathic applications are showing the highest growth as consumers prioritize lung health and immune resilience.
But here’s what the market data doesn’t capture. The cases.
For example:
A 51-year-old woman suffered from shingles for years. Classical homeopathy brought rapid relief – blisters scabbed within 48 hours with no postherpetic neuralgia.
A 43-year-old man endured panic attacks for a decade. The correct homeopathic medicine eliminated his anxious feelings within 15 minutes.
An 11-year-old girl experienced chronic abdominal pain for 5 years. Two gastroenterologists, multiple ER physicians later, this case achieved resolution with the right homeopathic medicine.
These are documented clinical cases, published with practitioner insights, follow-up data, and honest assessments of what worked and what didn’t. There are many many more in our archives.
While everyone else was waiting for an institutional validation of what worked in practice, we were documenting it. Aren’t patient outcomes what matter most?
That’s the real gamble I took. Trusting that clinical observation matters. That what works in practice deserves documentation, even when it’s 10-15 years ahead of mainstream acceptance.
47% of our readers today aren’t even naturopathic doctors. They’re MDs, DOs, PAs, and NPs looking for what actually works when conventional approaches fail.
The “fringe” medicine of 2005 is the integrative protocols of today.
Twenty years ago, publishing homeopathy cases was supposed to be professional suicide. Today, it’s just medicine.
I’ll keep taking that bet.
