Thank you, Jack! You and A Midwestern Doctor (AMD) are teaching us the “Forgotten Sides of Medicine” (AMD’s words). You offer everyone an education that no traditional medical school dares or cares to provide.
The bottom lines seem to be:
1. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
2. “History Doesn’t Repeat Itself, but It Often Rhymes” – Mark Twain
If we cannot learn from the past, we ARE doomed — not only to repeat our mistakes, but also to destroy ourselves in the process. Only by studying the medical past can we hope to avoid medical pitfalls in the future. Thank you for helping us do that!
It's interesting to see some of the nitty gritty of the story that I've known about for 20 years.
I'm confused who the sectarians are?
"The examining board camel after a bit will see to it that the tent is carried away from the "sectarians" unless the latter get together, come out flat-footed for their great Law and "make a noise" among the law makers"
In addition to the Flexnor Report, the infighting amongst homeopaths who practiced in different ways ensured there was no united front to compete against the allopaths. An example of "divided we fall". This is an argument put forward by modern Australian homeopath Alistair Gray.
Unfortunately it still persists
"We very often express symptoms of a disparate group of similar professionals that are working against each other, rather than with each other. We have a tremendous variance in skills and levels of practice. For us to make any headway, we must have clear professional teaching standards, a clear scope and one single voice. While we do our best, this is slow in coming." https://www.homeopathy360.com/2017/07/08/interview-with-alastair-gray/

Thank you. I’ll share.
Are you AI?
As you restacked the instant I released this stack, giving barely any time to even read the title. Hmmm

I share a lot of substack articles.
