Como físico y miembro de la comunidad científica, estoy hasta las narices de la homeopatía. No, nada personal, sólo me irrita que una terapéutica sin base científica alguna pretenda hacerse pasar por una actividad seria y honrada. Compran una cátedra aquí, hacen encuestas allá, presentan evidencias científicas que no lo son, y cuando todo les falla se parapetan tras los ciudadanos honrados y sus “pues a mí me funciona.” De momento no me han hecho nada personalmente, salvo quizá aquella vez que un médico quiso colarle un Coffea Tosta a mi esposa para que mi loco bajito número dos pudiera dormir tranquilo. El problema es que, aunque no me meta con ellos, ellos se meten conmigo y con los míos. Ganan millones con productos que no son sino agua y lactosa puras, subvierten el método científico, inducen a error a personas que no saben del tema. He intentado explicar por qué la homeopatía no funciona. Ya no sé cuántos artículos he escrito, cuántas veces he repetido lo obvio. La respuesta es siempre la misma: “sí, pero a mí me funciona.” Mi reacción es gritar a todo pulmón “¡NO, NO TE FUNCIONA!,” hablarle del placebo, de los ensayos clínicos amañados, de la falsa publicidad, de las promesas de calidad que se esfuman a golpe de BOE. No me resigno. Y, puesto que ya hemos dedicado mucho tiempo a defendernos, quizá sea hora de pasar a la ofensiva. La comunidad científica y médica, la gente de batas blancas que aglutina el saber de nuestros días y en la que la sociedad confía para que le diga la verdad, ya hemos callado durante demasiado tiempo. No he escrito este libro para ganar dinero. Lo he escrito para mostrar la verdad de la homeopatía; para que puedas ver por qué no funciona; para que no vuelvas a caer en el amimefuncionismo. Y, no menos importante, para mostrar que la homeopatía no es una terapia natural y buenrollista que cuenta con cada vez más adeptos. Mis detractores (que los tengo, y cada vez más) me dirán que soy partidista. Por supuesto que lo soy. Tomo partido por la ciencia, por la verdad y la justicia. Sueno como el Llanero Solitario, pero es lo que pienso. A lo largo de estas páginas te mostraré las razones de los partidarios de la homeopatía, y también las de sus detractores. Espero haberlo escrito lo bastante claro como para que la lectura se te haga sencilla. Si, a pesar de todo, encuentras que algún capítulo resulta pesado de leer, sáltatelo. Lo importante es que disfrutes este libro. Para eso lo he escrito.

Harnessing the power of symbols for physical, emotional, and spiritual healing • Explains how to make symbols directly on areas of pain for quick relief, on bandages to speed healing, and on acupressure points for energy and emotional work • Explores the use of symbols to reduce scar tissue, counteract electromagnetic pollution, balance the chakras, and cleanse toxins from the body • Details how to transfer the energy of a symbol to water, food, jewelry, or stones for long-term treatment and prevention Geometric symbols and signs have been drawn on the body to enhance strength and courage and stimulate the body’s powers of self-healing since prehistoric times--the most ancient evidence being the 5,000-year-old iceman “Ötzi,” found in the Alps in 1991, who had symbols tattooed over his arthritic joints. Found in indigenous societies around the globe, symbols on the body--whether drawn, painted, or tattooed--act as energy antennae, triggering healing impulses in the energy body and meridian system. Exploring several simple methods to work with symbols for physical, emotional, and spiritual healing, Petra Neumayer and Roswitha Stark illustrate the key symbols used in this practice and reveal how to select the proper symbol or symbols for your condition. They explain how to use these signs directly on areas of pain and injury--from mosquito bites to eczema--for quick relief, on bandages to speed healing, and on acupressure points and meridians to treat more complex conditions. They explore the use of symbols to reduce scar tissue, counteract electromagnetic pollution, balance the chakras, and cleanse toxins from the body. The authors explain how, like homeopathic remedies, symbols transfer information through energetic vibration and morphic fields—the resonance between all living things, past and present, discovered by Cambridge biologist Rupert Sheldrake. They detail how to transfer the energy of a symbol to water, food, jewelry, or stones for long-term treatment and prevention. They also show how to heal animals and plants with symbols. Bringing together traditional Chinese medicine, quantum physics, dowsing, and homeopathy, this new yet ancient practice harnesses the power of symbols to initiate healing at the very foundation of our energetic being.

This ? rst edition of Antimicrobial Drug Resistance grew out of a desire by the editors and authors to have a comprehensive resource of information on antimicrobial drug resistance that encompassed the current information available for bacteria, fungi, protozoa and viruses. We believe that this information will be of value to clinicians, epidemiologists, microbiologists, virologists, parasitologists, public health authorities, medical students and fellows in training. We have endeavored to provide this information in a style which would be accessible to the broad community of persons who are concerned with the impact of drug resistance in our cl- ics and across the broader global communities. Antimicrobial Drug Resistance is divided into Volume 1 which has sections covering a general overview of drug resistance and mechanisms of drug resistance ? rst for classes of drugs and then by individual microbial agents including bacteria, fungi, protozoa and viruses. Volume 2 addresses clinical, epidemiologic and public health aspects of drug resistance along with an overview of the conduct and interpretation of speci? c drug resistance assays. Together, these two volumes offer a comprehensive source of information on drug resistance issues by the experts in each topic.
