I would strongly  second the idea of allowing at least read/view access for the registered members to the professional forums.The post/write access may be restricted.This will help spread the homeopathy knowledge and learning immensely.
Thanks

I do not consider either Hpathy or these forums as 'my' oven. There is a whole team of volunteers working behind this effort and most of the decisions are taken collectively.

I really appreciate your ability to reason. I just wish everyone were like you and I would make these forums open. Your suggestions are worth giving a thought and without making any promises to the result, I will raise the issue in our admin forums and will inform you of whatever the result is.

   Make it publicly readable and moderate reader's responses except for qualified professional.
Shallow skeptics will then have no balls to play.

Just because of a few shallow skeptics the rest of those who would have benefited immensely from a professionally diagnosed and treated cases were denied ?


These are policy decisions, which have evolved after years of managing and moderating these forums. These are not going to change.



 There was once a man who observed how his wife made meat-loaf. Everytime she had neatly tied up the meat loaf she would cut off the ends and then would throw it away. The husband had been observing these for years and wondered why she did it. He then asked her why she did what she did. She replied that it was how her mother did it and she never question her mother.  The husband was stumped.

When his mother-in-law came visiting the temptation was too great. He had to ask. So he asked his mother-in-law why she taught his wife to cut off the ends of the meat-loaf. The mother-in-law was perplexed and didn't know what he was asking. And then a smile wreak across her face with understanding. "Oh! I cut off the ends because it could not fit into their tiny pan that came with the oven" she replied.

Are the reasons for the restrictions still valid ?  I think we do have a "bigger oven" today.

I also understand that this is your "oven" and you can jolly well do what you want. As I had said it just a bell-boy sounding off.

A lot of cases in text books had been described and no one had ever been implicated or harmed but a lot of good came from real-life cases.  The whole purpose is education and learning. If a professional homoeopath needs a second or even third opinion shouldn't that be taken into a private chatroom or private communication ?

And how does the science and homoeopathy forum be at risk of revealing personal details of patients ?

There is no doubt that sometimes 'common sense' works better than professional training but David has already given the reason why we cannot make the professional forums open to everyone. The cases put up for professional discussion in he pro forum need some level of restriction to prevent the information from being misused in any way. We have to balance our responsibilities towards professionals, bell-boys as well as patients!

Apart from this, I would like to share with you that most of the discussion takes place in the general forums, so you are not missing on a lot.

I remember one of my teacher who used to hide his prescription.Wo got nothing from him.
Let we all  universalize and spread homeopathy.

The professional forum is where we may post our patient's cases. I use this forum to help maintain some confidentiality when discussing the cases. ]]> Sun, 18 Oct 2009 05:15:36 +0000 http://forums.hpathy.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10524&PID=95611#95611 Access to Pro forum : You are right.At least the reading... http://forums.hpathy.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=10524&PID=95488#95488 Author: sajjadakram

Any scientist or researcher worth their salt and this would also be applicable to homoeopaths would realise that logic, reason and science are blind. Even when we believe that we know what is real, false or good we should always have space to listen and examine anything and everything that went agaist our training, teachings and experiences.

Once there was some civil engineers discussing how they could put a lift into a hotel. The engineers said that it could not be done without closing the hotel and the owner did not want to close the hotel or even part of it. So they debated and discussed and argued and came up with over-engineered and highly sophisticated engineering solutions. All were rejected for either being too hare-brained or too expensive.  The bell-boy who was standing nearby quietly went over to the owner and ask him why is it so difficult to build the lift outside the building ?  The owner suggested this to the engineers and they were all stumped by the brilliance and the simplicity of the solution.

I may not be a professional homoeopath or even a registered student but after my retirement I have great interests in healing art and have been reading up on it. I would certainly like to have access to the pro section to at least benefit from it.  I could be prevented from posting or perhaps have my posting moderated first before being posted to the general audience but why is there a need to even ban the reading by others. I thought the whole purpose is to disemminate knowledge to as many people as possible. This can only benefit the homoeopathic artform.

This is just a 2 cents worth from a "bell-boy"  8-) .
