After many years working
at various Silicon Valley research institutions (including SRI
International, NASA Ames Research Center, and three years as a
consulting associate professor at Stanford), Lansky made an unusual
career move: she became a student, writer, promoter, and, most
recently, a part-time practitioner of homeopathic medicine. This was prompted by
the miraculous cure of her son's autism with homeopathy. She is
dedicated to helping others -- especially families with autistic
children -- discover the curative powers of homeopathy.
Lansky's homeopathic studies have included foundational course work
with Misha Norland's School of Homeopathy in Devon, England;
completion of the Homeopathic Master Clinician's course with Louis
Klein; and studies with Simon Taffler, Sadhna Thakkar, Jan Scholten,
and Alize Timmerman. For two years she served as coeditor of The
American Homeopath, the journal of the North American Society of
Homeopaths.
In December 2003, Lansky joined
the board of the National Center for Homeopathy in
Alexandria, Virginia. She now serves on the board executive as Secretary.
Lansky also helped to found and was an executive board member of the California
Health Freedom Coalition from 2001-2005. This is the organization that sponsored SB-577, the
California health freedom bill that was passed in September 2002. As
part of this legislative process, Lansky testified before a California
Senate hearing on alternative medicine.
Much of Lansky's current work involves promoting homeopathy and providing
guidance and referrals to parents through email. She often gives lectures, interviews,
and writes articles about homeopathy. She also writes a regular column for the
Society of Homeopaths Newsletter (UK), "Letter from America". Lansky' monthly radio
show on homeopathy can be found on Autism
One Radio (aired the third Friday of each month, 2-2:30pm EST, but
archived
for later listening). This show provides an excellent and free short course for those
wishing to learn more about homeopathy.
Lansky lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband Steve
Rubin and her two sons, Izaak and Max Rubin. An avid amateur
musician, she has been a vocalist in several local rock bands and
has composed several classical works for piano, as well as liturgical
vocal pieces. She also enjoys painting,
needlework, swimming, and canoeing the lakes of Canada. You can
