NOTE:  Check out this new feature — a YouTube of this article! Ah, the hubris of Man! And Woman too, but let’s face it, usually the problems arise because of Man… Just when we think we’ve put the natural world behind a fence and we’re all safe and sound in our artificial bubble, nature rises…

Occasionally I get a question from someone who is new to homeopathy and is nervous about embarking upon treatment. For example, I recently got this inquiry: “I just saw a new doctor (MD) who practices homeopathy almost entirely. I’m trying to learn what it is all about. I’ve read homeopathy can be harmful and can…

While there is still a sliver of February left, with its message of love commemorated on Valentine’s Day, I thought I’d conclude the shortest month of the year with a brief word about the power of love. Most of us are familiar with the teaching of how just a small bit of light can illuminate…
