According to the website, Dr. Edwards opened the clinic when “a divine appointment in 2011 opened his eyes to the fact that US medical schools only teach a very narrow way of disease and symptom management with pharmaceuticals instead of disease and symptom resolution by addressing root causes.”
doesn’t get more “root cause” than stopping a viral infection in its tracks with an effective vaccine. jfc.

The rallying cry of homeopaths everywere… 🤷♂️ 🙄
Edit: other lemmers have educated me. Thanks for sharing your opinions and knowledge. Homeopathy <> holistic. Homeopathy is a stupid pseudoscience scam. Holistic is good. Original comment below being retained for context.
I hate how binary it is. A homeopathic or holistic view of a healthy lifestyle and body doesn’t mean someone can’t also accept some of the modern miracles of medical science, like providing weapons-grade intel about a deadly pathogen to your body’s chief defensive forces without forcing it to fight that foe to the death in a cage match. I’m all for integrating herbs in my diet and…idk, binaural therapy and soft lighting and whatever (not crystals, except for lookin’ and touchin’ because they’re just neat and pretty), but those are just nice maintenance in day to day existence. If there’s a low risk way to clue in my T and B cells without feeling like shit, possibly sickening others, and maybe even dying or being scarred/deformed, then sign me up!
A homeopathic or holistic view
No. These words are near complete opposites. Anyone who uses “holistic” in that way is being disingenuous or straight up does not know what those words mean.
It’s like trying to get public schools to teach “intelligent design.” They are using the word “holistic” (meaning “whole,” or to view the body as a whole system, that’s what a “holistic approach” actually means) in an attempt to suggest that homeopathy deserves to be a part of that approach, and that’s fucking stupid.
“Holistic” is good.
“Homeopathy” is absurd pseudoscientific bullshit about molecules having “memory,” and that diluting something makes it more powerful because… Reasons.
If we’re talking about medicine, then you don’t get to pick and choose between actual effective medicine and your homeopathic snake oil. The stuff that you’re talking about, it just doesn’t work, and those vaccines that we’ve had for decades and longer, depending on the disease, they actually do work.
But if you want to buy some incense and soft lighting because it makes you feel better, maybe because it’s a placebo effect, then you can certainly do that. It’s your money and if you choose to spend it on snake oil then that’s your business. And if your justification is that maybe it might work even though there’s no solid evidence, that sounds a lot like Pascal’s Wager, but still, it’s your money to spend.
Just be careful that you are aware of the difference between the two.
but those are just nice maintenance in day to day existence
They do nothing and are a waste of money. That’s not “maintenance” , that’s a “scam”.
