Important Note (September, 2012) - I have submitted an essay to a competition on the foundations of physical reality. It explains how matter and fields are just two different ways that space vibrates. It is very simple and obvious once understood, has profound consequences for humanity, our sense of self in the universe knowing that we vibrate with everything around us. Please read it, rate it, and I will reply to all comments. Thanks, Geoff haselhurst (11th Sept. 2012)
I realise that there are a lot of 'crackpot' theories about truth and reality
on the internet, but it is easy to show that the Wave Structure of Matter
is the correct solution as it deduces the laws
of Nature (the fundamentals of Physics & Philosophy)
perfectly (there are no opinions). While the Wave Structure of Matter is obvious
once known, to begin it will seem strange simply because it takes time
for our minds to adjust to new knowledge.
For those who are religious
/ spiritual, I think Albert
Einstein expresses the enlightened view of God. He writes 'I believe
in Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists,
not in a God who concerns himself with the fates and actions of human beings.' This harmony arises from a Wave Structure of Matter in Space (we are all
interconnected in this space that we all commonly experience). This unity
of reality (God, Brahman, Tao, Spirit, Energy, Light, Vibration) is central
to all major world religions, thus their common moral
foundation of 'Do unto others as to thyself' as the other is part of
the self.

revolutionary act. (George Orwell)

Naturopathy Healing Power of Nature, Diet,
Lifestyle Changes, Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM), Minimise
Harm, Prevention is Best Cure, Treat Cause not Symptom, Holistic Healing
(Treatment of Whole Person, Mind, Body and Environment), History
The word naturopathy comes from Greek and Latin and literally
translates as "nature disease."
Naturopathy is a whole medical system that originated in Europe.
It aims to support the body's ability to heal itself through the use of
dietary and lifestyle changes together with CAM (complementary alternative
medicine) therapies such as herbs, massage, and joint manipulation. The
emphasis is on supporting health rather than combating disease.
Main Ideas
The practice of naturopathy is based on six key principles:
1. Promote the healing power of nature (vis medicatrix naturae)
2. First do no harm. Minimise harmful side effects and do not suppress
symptoms.
3. Treat the whole person. Practitioners believe a person's health is affected
by many factors, such as physical, mental, emotional, genetic, environmental,
and social ones. Practitioners consider all these factors.
4. Treat the cause. Practitioners seek to identify and treat the causes
of a disease or condition, rather than its symptoms. Symptoms are signs
that the body is trying to fight disease, adapt to it, or recover from
it.
5. Prevention is the best cure. Practitioners teach healthy ways of living
that are most likely to prevent illness.
6. The physician is a teacher. Patients are educated to take responsibility
for their own health.
Brief History
Naturopathic health care is founded on approaches that were popular
in Europe, especially in Germany, in the 19th century.
Naturopathy was named and popularized in the United States by
Benedict Lust, who was born in Germany in the late 1800s. When Lust became
seriously ill with tuberculosis, he was treated by a priest and healer
in Germany named Sebastian Kneipp. Kneipp's treatment was based on:
* Hydrotherapy (water treatments).
* The "nature cure" movement,
which focused on restoring health through a return to nature. This movement
advocated therapies such as gentle exercise, herbal medications, wholesome
dietary approaches, and exposure to sun and air.
Lust found his health much improved from Kneipp's treatment, and
when he immigrated to the United States at the turn of the 20th century,
he was dedicated to popularizing it. He gave it the name naturopathy, led
the way in developing it as a medical system in the United States, and
founded the first naturopathic college and professional association.

Naturopathic Treatment for Ear Pain in Children
In the past 2 decades, there has been a substantial increase in
the diagnosis of otitis media worldwide. In the United States, 93% of all
children have had at least 1 episode of acute otitis media (AOM) by 7 years
of age.
The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy and
tolerability of naturopathic versus traditional treatment for the management
of otalgia commonly associated with AOM in children.
The study showed each group had a statistically significant improvement
in ear pain over the course of the 3 days. This suggests that in cases
of ear pain caused by AOM in children in which active treatment, besides
a simple 2- to 3-day waiting period, is needed, an herbal extract solution
may be beneficial. Concomitant antibiotic treatment is apparently not contributory.

"When
forced to summarize the general theory of relativity in one sentence:
Time and space and gravitation have no separate existence from matter.
... Physical objects are not in space, but these objects are spatially
extended. In this way the concept 'empty space' loses its meaning.
... The particle can only appear as a limited region in space in which
the field strength or the energy density are particularly high. ...
The free, unhampered exchange of ideas and scientific conclusions
is necessary for the sound development of science, as it is in all spheres
of cultural life. ... We must not conceal from ourselves that
no improvement in the present depressing situation is possible without
a severe struggle; for the handful of those who are really determined
to do something is minute in comparison with the mass of the lukewarm
and the misguided. ... Humanity is going to need a substantially new way of thinking
if it is to survive!" (Albert Einstein)
This is the profound new way of thinking that Einstein
realised, that we exist as spatially extended structures of the universe
- the discrete and separate body an illusion. This simply confirms the
intuitions of the ancient
philosophers and mystics.

Given the current censorship in physics / philosophy of science journals (based on the standard model of particle physics / big bang cosmology) the internet is the best hope for getting new knowledge known to the world. But that depends on you, the people who care about science and society, realise the importance of truth and reality.
