Safe & Effective Natural Healing
Homeopathy (HP) refers to the form of treatment based on healing with “similars.” This movement began with the work of Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, about two centuries ago in Germany. Hahnemann professed that instead of using “opposites,” as did conventional Western Medicine, he could find substances, such as herbs, minerals, chemicals, that could be hugely diluted and used for treatment. A major aspect of the substances required that they cause similar response in the body as the illness caused, but because they were diluted to the point where there was none of the original substance detectable, they caused no sickness.. Rather did these homeopathic remedies, stimulate healing in the body, perhaps by triggering the immune system. The diluted solution apparently carried the energy of the substance.
Therefore, in conventional Western Medicine, if one has a headache, one might take an aspirin or some other substance that blocks the pain. In Homeopathy, one might instead take a dilution of arnica, which causes pain in its undiluted form, but if diluted homeopathically, it encourages the body to heal itself. This approach reduces the intake of toxic drugs. And remember, one of the best definitions of a drug is that it is “a selective poison.” Virtually all drugs poison some enzyme or other aspect of our metabolism, in order to achieve a therapeutic effect. Homeopathics, therefore, achieve their effect in a much more natural way and provide a safe and comfortable approach to many illnesses.
We should note that Homeopathy has always fostered much opposition from Conventional Medicine. Although less condemned in recent years, the Conventional “Wisdom” states that there is not enough scientific study of HP to justify its use. It would seem that is the same scientific mentality that once said the Earth is flat and the Sun revolves around it. And of course all lightning bolts come from the great God, Zeus. Considered objectively, HP could be the scientific advance that will bridge the gap between chemical and energy medicine. Energy Medicine truly gets to many vital basics. Modern physics now claims that all “solid” matter is really frozen energy!
Now we should suffice to say that HP may obviate a patients use of a toxic drug. By the way, it also works on animals. Since the major claim of HP’s critics says that it works only by placebo, the response of a pet or domesticated horse, dog or cat (especially a cat), will be difficult to write off as a placebo.
We could rail on about the fascinations of HP. Now let us say that HP at one time enjoyed a great deal more prominence than it now does. It now seems to be on huge rebirth, and that is a welcome addition to our natural healing desires. Homeopathy can be powerful, especially since it first does no harm.
