Quotes from Hpathy.com, an interview done by David Nortman. I admire Jan Scholten for his clear and honest thoughts regarding radionics.
J: There are also people who use radionics, things like that. And sometimes it would be easy for me because I want to prescribe sometimes remedies that I cannot get, and then with radionics you can make that.
D: Right.
J: But I decided not to do that, because of two reasons for it: first is that I will lose some credibility for a lot of people, and knowing I can say: You know, this is really a homeopathic remedy that we tried, there’s no question about what it is. And with radionics, and also this paper remedies, there are questions what are you really prescribing.
D: Yea.
J: So, I think it’s one step too far ahead. And I don’t have experience with it, but I know from quite a lot of homeopaths who say that it works and they have good experience with it.
D: Ahm. So is science, or is it shamanism? Where do you place…
J: Good shamanism is science.
D: Sure. And yet you don’t practice that. So that’s what I’m trying to understand what makes you ultimately stick with…?
J: The whole thing is that you cannot split consciousness from life. And that’s even the case in physics, where the consciousness of the experimenter influences the experiment. So the whole idea that it shouldn’t be possible is unscientific.
D: OK, so you believe it’s possible but yet…?
J: But I don’t do it, because I’m busy with the scientific development, and it would interfere with that.
D: Right.
J: And it could very well be that it works, but I don’t know for the moment from my own experience.
D: OK. So it may be something that you perhaps might be open to exploring at a later stage of development of homeopathy as a science?
J: Could be, or for instance when I’m desperate, and a case where a patient dying and I want to have a remedy, maybe I could do it. You know, you don’t want to wait two months when you die tomorrow. But the other thing is that it won’t develop our science further.
D: Ahm. And that’s a very interesting point.
J: Because you prescribe it, but you never know what you have done. You know, the whole idea of classification: when I would have done with paper remedies, what would people have said? And you’re not grounded enough… you have to have a good grounding to become more subtle. You don’t start with subtle, you know, your basis has to be firm. And then the upper part of your building can be very light; but not the lower part of it.
D: OK, and you’re still building the foundations.
J: Yea.
