The number of families that are in financial problems due to debt has doubled in Holland in the last five years.
In 2006 46,000 families received help from credit councilors. People who walked into ‘credit banks’ had an average of 22,000.00 euros in debts. 33,616.46 Canadian dollars..that is.
According to the organization NVVK, more and more people have no money left over for fun things after paying off there monthly bills.
Another documentary TV show about the Dutch disability system and the re-evaluations taking place. As far as I am concerned they cannot put enough of these shows on TV or in the newspapers.

It shocks me to see instructions for taking homeopathic remedies such as:
“unscrew or remove the top or cap of the bottle, tip the pill into the cap and from there into you palm or a clean spoon, then into your mouth.’
First: The only time one should ever touch a homeopathic remedy is if they are low potency. The higher potencies will be ‘killed’ upon touching them and will not do the job they were intended to do. Second: the remedy should never be in contact with metal of any sort and the best practice is to use a plastic spoon.
Just so I never forget the above, regardless of the potency, I always use a plastic spoon and I never touch a remedy. In this way I am sure I am getting what I need out of the remedy and I am sure I am not ‘killng’ the goodness in it.
I have even heard of a practitioner lightly touching a high potency remedy to make it less strong. What that does is completely kills the remedy and it is of no use to her client. She may as well throw the pill in the garbage and give her client a sugar cube.

As I have stated before, I really believe in this way of healing. It has done miraculous things for me such as healing bladder infections, homesickness and whooping cough. My downstairs neighbour and I had whooping cough at the same time. She coughed for three months and mine was completely gone by the end of three weeks with the help of Drosera.
The Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States has been in continuous publication since 1897, when it was first published by the Committee on Pharmacy of the American Institute of Homeopathy. Prior to that, pharmacopoeias had been published by Boericke and Tafel (1882) and Jahr (1841). In recent years, homeopathy has seen a great resurgence in the United States, increasing the need for an updated edition of the HPUS since its last publication in 1982. More…….
