'Understanding Homeopathy and the explanation and importance of the memory of water and the power of increased dilution' |
Arnica Montana was a sponsor of the Brighton (UK) Marathon |
Arnica Montana Pty Ltd was set up as a sister company to Arnica Montana Ltd in the UK in October 2000. Arnica Montana Ltd and Arnica Montana Pty Ltd are committed to providing Homeopathic information and services world wide. The aim is to raise the awareness and profile of Homeopathy as a mainstream system of medicine throughout the world from both hemispheres, the white swan protected by Royal Charter representing the UK, and the black swan representing Perth in West Australia.
Kate Diamantopoulo, Managing Director of both companies, has 40 years experience as a health professional in both the orthodox and alternative fields of medicine. She is a registered Homeopath since 1987 with the Society of Homeopaths (SOH) UK, and with the Australian Register of Homeopaths (AROH) since 2002 and arriving in Australia. She also assesses trained Homeopaths wishing to enter the AROH,and represents West Australia on the National Council for the Australian Homeopathic Association (AHA). In West Australia she is Vice President of the AHA. Similar duties were carried out in the UK prior to coming out to Australia including serving as a Director on the Board of the Society of Homeopaths for 3 years, assessing trained Homeopaths wishing to enter the Register for the SOH, and teaching, examining, moderating as well as sitting on all the Academic Boards at the College of Homeopathy (COH) London for 17 years. She is an experienced Registered Nurse (RGN Guy's Hospital London), State Certified Midwife (SCM St Thomas' Hospital London) and Health Visitor (HV). She is aware of the need for an individual approach to the health problems of each person and is convinced that the answer to the current health problems of the day lies in educating the general public to be more aware of, and take responsibility for, their health and well being.
She commutes between the UK and Australia twice a year to continue practising and teaching in both hemispheres to promote the connection and cooperation between the two very different countries. She is based in the Hills above Perth living amongst the trees, kookaburras, parrots, blue tongued lizards, possums,and other wildlife which inhabit her garden.
By providing comprehensive websites, seminars in local venues, and quality Homeopathic products, Arnica Montana will educate and support the increase in awareness of Homeopathy as a viable mainstream therapy, complementing current health services in the community.
Mission Statement
Working to promote and foster the use of Homeopathy in Australia as a recognized main stream therapy, and therefore encourage the development of self empowerment in preventative health.
Vision
- To bring Homeopathy to every household in Australia so that it is recognized as a main stream therapy to help in any situation e.g. first aid, accidents and chronic illnesses.
- To make available the homeopathic knowledge through metropolitan and rural seminars, teaching sessions and a comprehensive interactive web site.
- To make available adequate supplies of Homeopathic remedies through the import of high quality homeopathic kits and individual remedies and literature.
- To manufacture high quality Homeopathic products in Australia for general local use and for export.
- This will allow for a better understanding of Homeopathy and enhance the development of self help in health matters. It will assist in reducing the demands on the Australian Health care system, and encourage empowerment in preventative health care in metropolitan and rural communities.
Vaccines NOT SAFE for Children
12/07/2010 - For Immediate Release:
Consumer advocacy and vaccine safety watchdog group, the Australian Vaccination Network (AVN), has announced that it will be investigating all options in order to respond to the outrageous attack on free speech inherent in the recent allegations made against it by a NSW state authority, the Healthcare Complaints Commission (HCCC). The HCCC, in a report just released, has deemed the AVN to be a 'healthcare provider' and, in this capacity, stated that it has published 'misleading and dangerous' information on the risks of vaccination.
Meryl Dorey, media spokesperson for the AVN, says that the organisation does not believe that it falls under the jurisdiction of the HCCC as they are neither healthcare providers nor health educators. According to Ms Dorey, "Vaccination is not compulsory in Australia, nor is it illegal to not vaccinate. In addition, prior to the HCCC's decision, it has not been illegal to publish information that questions a medical procedure."
The primary role of the HCCC is to investigate complaints of medical malpractice. This is the first time that the HCCC has investigated a consumer health watchdog group. According to Ms Dorey, "It is not surprising that a government commission has found us guilty of not saying what the government wants us to say. We wouldn't be doing our job properly if that were not the case. But," says Dorey "the threat to freedom of speech and the implications regarding loss of medical choice inherent in this decision make this an issue that cannot go unchallenged".
The report by the HCCC concludes a year-long probe into the activities of the AVN, instigated by complaints from members of a pro-vaccine, anti natural health group called Stop the AVN (SAVN). The initial complaint to the HCCC predominately argues that freedom of speech is not guaranteed under the Australian Constitution and asks that the AVN should be prohibited from publishing what it considers to be 'anti vaccine' information. It asks that the HCCC put forward a Prohibition Order to gag the AVN and Ms Dorey and to prohibit them from holding public seminars or making comments in the media. Numerous and continuing complaints and allegations made by SAVN members to the HCCC, most of them not made available to the AVN, have been lodged throughout the investigation.
"We have had a tumultuous year with our own and our family's personal details published on the internet. Our advertisers and professional members have been subject to severe and vicious harassment due to their support of the AVN. We have had wild accusations made against us stating that we believe in reptilian monsters. And there have been numerous death threats - the most recent of which was published on Twitter recently and retweeted many times stating that I should die in a fire." Ms Dorey concluded.
To have attacks from those who disagree with us is one thing - to have this attack at a government level is something which must be fought against. The HCCC's decision has taken them out of their normal role of protecting individuals who have been harmed by practitioners and into the realm of suppression, censorship and denial of natural justice, commonsense and fairness. It is time to take a stand on this issue and that is what the AVN will be doing.

Testimonial - Sonja Johnson
20/07/2010
As I sit here preparing for the forthcoming World Equestrian Games in Kentucky I am busy going through the travel box of “THINGS I MUST HAVE” and realize that my supplies of Arnica Montana are really rather too low.
How as Jag and I keep getting older can I possibly go to a major championship without my Arnica tablets should either of us get a knock, My arnica cream to rub into those sore muscles. My Arnica soap. The natural cleanser and exfoliate in one that is even in a great tin to travel and of course my Arnica Bath soak to really relax and ease the aches away.
Thanks Kate for keeping on making these great Australian products to help keep Champions like Jag and his offsider (me) on the road to the top!

To whom it may concern
Over the past 4 years Kate Diamantopoulo of Arnica Montana has provided me with unlimited access to her expertise and products to assist me as I represent Australia internationally in the equestrian sport of Eventing.
Equestrian is the only Olympic sport where men and women compete on an equal footing. It is also the only Olympic sport which involves a living partner other than a fellow human. Hence for a women to be at the top of the field they must keep their body in tip top form and also their equine partner. Kate with her advice and products has been most helpful in this.
Over the 4 years Kate has provided a CD on the remedies and how to use them. A most invaluable First Aid kit full of remedies that I use on the horses and humans (and keep on having to get Kate to top up). A number of tailor made remedies for specific conditions such as injured knees, ankles etc. Kate also does the most wonderful soap and bath soak. It only has one problem - my mum and dad like it so much it keeps running out!
In this four year period I have competed for Australia at the following Eventing competitions:
World Cup – Pau France 04 (In 04 I won both world cup qualifiers held in Australia) and individual Adelaide CCI**** 05
Member winning team Trans Tasman Trophy 05
Werribee CCI*** (final selection trial for World Championships)
Member Bronze medal team World Championships 06 (this qualified Australia for the Olympics)
1st individual Taupo New Zealand Championships 07
Member 2nd place Trans Tasman team 07
I have also competed in numerous other competitions and am once again leading event rider in WA.
Kate has been a constant support in these endeavors. It is not possible to do it alone and as Kate’s products are all permitted substances under the rules of competition I will continue to use them with great confidence.
Yours sincerely
Sonja Johnson
