Homeopathy

Homeopathy is a therapeutic means of treatment which has been in use for over 200 years. It works on the principle that �like treats like� -- an illness is treated with a medicine that may produce similar symptoms in a healthy person. To avoid toxicity the active ingredients are highly diluted and are virtually 100% safe. Homeopathy can integrate well with conventional medicines and has been successful in treating a wide range of conditions, usually after conventional medicines have failed.

Homeopathic doctors use examinations, investigations and history taking in the same way that conventional doctors do. Prescriptions are based upon all aspects of the patient�s condition. A patient�s lifestyle and personality should also be taken into account.

During the early 1800�s the two most popular alternatives to the conventional practice of medicine were herbal medicine and Homeopathy. The news of Homeopathy spread when mothers began treating their children�s problems inexpensively and easily. Typhoid, cholera, measles, tuberculosis, mumps and other diseases were all treated successfully with remedies and without doctor�s medical intervention.

Homeopathy�s rise coincided with the sudden decline in allopathic medicine and its methods due to the general and pervasive mistrust. Extreme hatred and economic jealousy arose as a consequence of this.

Homeopathy has historically proven to be more effective than allopathic medicine through its treatment and prevention of diseases. An example of this was the American cholera outbreak in 1849 when there was a 48-60% death rate with allopathic medicine whereas the documented death rate in homeopathic hospitals was 3%. Today shows similar statistics for the treatment of cholera. In addition, recent epidemiological studies have shown that homeopathic remedies are as equaling or surpassing the standard vaccinations for disease prevention.

During the Southern States yellow fever epidemic in 1878, the allopaths treated over 96,000 cases and over 12,000 dies. During the same time 3914 people were treated by homeopathic practitioners and 261 died.

Homeopathy is re-emerging as a major healing approach after 200 years, especially during this era of degenerative and infectious disease epidemics and mutated �supergerms.� Homeopathic practitioners claim that this is happening because it works and it works because it is addressing the energetic realities of health and healing. It is argued that we are energy and can only be brought into balance and wellness by systems that recognize and honor this.

Most healthcare approached focus on suppressing the symptoms whereas homeopathy increases the vitality and the life force that animates us. We risk diminishing our immune function if we weaken and deplete our vitality, therefore becoming more susceptible to disease, both physical and mental. Homeopathy�s goal is to stimulate our body�s own capacity of healing so that the imbalances and weaknesses that allow diseases to emerge are corrected.

Homeopathy, if properly practiced stimulates an accelerated immune response whilst releasing underlying energetic blocks and trauma imprints. It provides a non-toxic, natural, safe system of healing.
