Homeo- vs. Homo-

peasant

Homeo-pathy against Homo-sexuality, that is.

According to the German association of catholic doctors, homosexuality is treatable ...with homeopathy :D:D

I'm sorry, the article is only available in German http://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/medizin/0,1518,766184,00.html but it really makes you wonder.

These people have studied x semesters of medical science ...yet they are prepared to offer "treatment" for a non- existant "illness" with non-effective "medicine".

Religion really is the universal stupidifyer it seems.

Seems the perfect marriage to me - the homeopaths can waste their time, busying themselves, applying ineffective "treatments" to people who don't have a problem and don't need "treatment", thereby not annoying everyone else while the gay people take one for the team, so to speak. Nice one.

You people are so ignorant, how do ye not realise that what consenting adults do in their own time, in their own homes when it doesn't have any effect on you is totally your business and a complete abomination which should be treated with medicines to chemically castrate these diseased individuals. How can the people of AH not see this is the only course of action.

It's not castration. Nobody is hurt.

They take the essence of one gay man, dilute it to one part in a trillion, in a process known as potentization.

This homeopathic formula is then applied to other gay men, in order to cure them.

And there has been some proven success.

Berlin - The Lesbian and Gay Federation in Germany (LSVD) one is angry. Of a "suggestion" and an "insult" is the speech and "lack of respect for homosexual and bisexual men." Background is a website of the Association of Catholic Doctors (BKÄ) on which the association "therapies of homosexuality presents. Among other things, was the web magazine Telepolis reported.

The BKÄ faces claims to as the "voice of the Catholic medical community." Under the heading "Our mission" is in the self-presentation of the initiative and the item "help for seekers." But the supposed help now provides for severe criticism. Immediately after the statement "homosexuality is not a disease!" BKÄ writes on its website namely, that there is "therapeutic approaches against homosexual tendencies."
Specifically listed Psychotherapy and the - already highly controversial - homeopathy . In the latter case, a "constitutional treatment with appropriate resources in high-potency" take place "as Platinum. Mastermind behind the Association of Catholic physicians Gero Winkelmann. It was the nineties in the mini party active in the Christian League. He now runs a private practice in Unterhaching. Focus: homeopathy.

"We know of many homosexual sentient people who are in a spiritual and psychological distress and suffer greatly," Winkler writes in a statement to SPIEGEL ONLINE. "If someone is unhappy, feeling ill or in distress, he should get help from us opportunities presented." The website was "not long maintained" - "because the issue is not currently burning up to date for us."

When asked about the scientific basis for the listed "therapies" will Winkelmann a bunch of supposed sources: medical and psychotherapeutic, philosophical and theological literature, "the" minority opinion of psychotherapists, "the" teaching of the Catholic Church, the Holy Scripture "and the "homeopathy by Samuel Hahnemann.

With ineffective drugs for a non-existent disease - the Lesbian and Gay Association reporting keeps the "treatment options" unacceptable "the deals are dangerous to use the uncertainty of homosexual or bisexual young people or their parents." Says association spokeswoman Renate Rampf on Question by SPIEGEL ONLINE. For those affected, such offers are themselves problematic if they "appear as in this case, quite ridiculous." Rampf criticized the alleged assistance would be "destabilizing" - not least because they simply could not function. "All credible experts agree that sexual orientation is shaped in earliest childhood."

Winkelmann defended himself, his organization wanted to "anyone in a 'sick corner' push injure or harass." The general aim was "to give medical opinion and opinion without hurting someone or to try to patronize." Under the motto "Who wants to hear, let him hear" would of BKÄ "conceal no acceptable alternative possibility."

Protestant and Catholic church are working off the topic

Under the heading of "conversion therapy" radical religious groups propagate mainly in the U.S., the "cure" for gays and lesbians. It will not always come so harmless ingredients such as sugar spheres are used, but in some cases drugs and electric shocks.

The BKÄ presents on its website, the alleged statement of a gay from Southern Germany. It is this quoted as saying he had "noted with pleasure" that the association "a change of homosexual inclinations quite possible" hold. Also, to read, the person concerned had "the feeling that a change in me might well be possible", and therefore seek professional help. It is however difficult to convince a therapist from the task: "Unfortunately, probably the most common among psychotherapists believe homosexuality is innate and not changeable."

The Federation of Catholic Doctors presented on its pages is not the official Church line, but a private opinion. And yet the Catholic Church repeatedly discussed on how to deal with homosexuality. Most recently, Archbishop of Cologne, Cardinal Joachim Meisner, the religion teacher and journalist David Berger church teaching license withdrawn . This had been outed as gay. Then the church had declared, Berger could "no longer credible mission of the Church Catholic religious instruction given in the".

But in the Protestant church front have been anti-gay religious zealots made. Sun 30 Westphalian priest complained in 2009, gay-friendly statements of their country Präses Alfred Buss of the Church in Bremen. "Is not the homosexuality of the created order of God" as they would the Bible described in, the pastors declared in an open letter from which the Internet portal, the West was quoted as saying.
Where "treatment" "discredited" against homosexuality will be denied to "people who are suffering from their homosexual feelings, which help to change," says the letter. Rhetorical criticism is the now the website of the Catholic doctors quite close.

The World Health Organization has removed homosexuality from the way the catalog of diseases ("International Code of Diseases"). And while on 1 January 1993. The Gay Association had declared, go to "for gays and lesbians 90 years late 19th century to the end." Maybe you got the time was a bit too early.

Confusing translation to say the least.

Yet, but all it takes is one person with a vendetta to cause serious harm. Look at the Nazis, brainwashed an entire country to hate Jews.

But more importantly, the only time homeopathy has worked is experimental error and the daily mail article, homeopathy helped my wife conceive. Certainly not George down the road

Science is science.

Apparently the more virulent the original gay subject, and with a slight tweaking of the potentization process, a more virulent homeopathic solution is produced, and the incidence of homesexuality can be further reduced.

You can't argue with the results in that article.

Homeopathy is used by taking the cause, and using ever increasing doses to build up immunity...so does that mean they would like to start gay men/women off with a lick and tease, all the way up to full sex hoping that it will "cure" them?

Seems like a no-brainer to me! (these so called catholic doctors clearly have none anyway).

Did you mean to say the homeopaths believe they have had some "success", rather than you believe they have?

Yes I can, the result is inherently bias due to the fact it was funded by catholics.
Also how to you objectively measure the amount someone wants cock in order to say it decreased?

Men infused with the potentized gay essence may have varying degrees of homosexuality remaining.

Perhaps the term homeo-sexuals is more appropriate.
