Netherlands, the US, Germany and Austria, Gregory’s witty synopsis of each talk. Peter
Sue Armstrong and Wendy McGrandles
showing how the use of homeopathy was applied to animals shortly after its use in people, and how it was instrumental in combating rinderpest outbreaks.
One of the best ways to end a Congress must be with Sue Armstrong speaking. Sue began her talk by noting a recent “Lancet” statement that conventional cancer treatment was ineffectual at best, and lethal at worst. Homeopathy can do better, by supporting the patient, and changing remedies as needed. The homeopath must be aware of their limitations, as well as the time and energy commitment required for successful management of these cases. Sue urged us to address our high-risk patients early, to establish management practices and homeopathic prescribing to prevent cancer. Sue uses a timeline to visualise influences in each case. She then guided us through several cases, illustrating how she addresses the tumour itself, prescribing for the totality of the case, and adjunctive support, such as mushroom blends and transfer factor. Situations when animals are on traditional chemotherapy or following such therapy were discussed, as well as advanced metastatic disease, and when to leave the case alone.
The Congress wrapped up with Peter
couldn’t manage it in the three words Geoff requested per each, however. Better luck next year, Peter! (Just for the record, Peter is scheduled to close the Congress each year, unless and until he pops his clogs). Congress closed with a group hug and warm feelings all ‘round. We’re already looking forward to seeing all of you next year!
