Who sponsors homeopathic journals?

Is there any way of discovering who sponsors homeopathic journals - where do they get their income from? The suspicion is that it's homeopathic companies such as Boiron etc... but does anyone know for sure?



I'm thinking mainly of "the biggies" - "Homeopathy" - http://www.journals.elsevier.com/homeopathy/



and...



"The Homeopath" - http://www.homeopathy-soh.org/for-ho...tions/journal/



They also claim to be peer reviewed too but as far as I can gather their peer reviewers are mostly homeopaths - not exactly great for their credibility I'd say.



I've tried various web searches but drawn blanks on this one. Folks might be interested in this particularly reveaing excerpt I came across during my searchings, from an article on homeopathic literature:

Quote:

... my own enduring fascination with homeopathy was kindled in no small part from its almost religious devotion to text. With our literature consisting essentially of glosses and emendations of Hahnemann, and even our arguments buttressed by scriptural quotations on every side, I realized early on that homeopaths are veritable 'People of the Book' like Jews with our Old Testament, Christians with the New, or Muslims with the Qu'ran, all of them deriving fresh inspiration from a set of quasi-eternal truths revealed to a distinctly human writer at a definite point in historical time. Our homeopathic literature is thus no mere repository of information, but also the communal efforts of flawed human writers to approach the Divine, such that each book, even one that is no longer used, becomes a kind of historical monument to the Word, which if not quite immutable at least doesn't change every year or two, as the concepts and methods of modern 'scientific' medicine are explicitly designed to do. It tickles my fancy to imagine a day in the far-distant future when medicine as we know it no longer survives, and an archaeologist unearths a huge trove of artifacts "tools of incorruptible stainless steel, instruments for diagnosis and surgery and the like" while the only enduring traces of homeopathy will be the idea of it, as expressed in words and preserved for all time in these sacred texts.

:cool:



Any and all responses appreciated.
