Classical Homeopathy

The Science of Homeopathic Medicine

Numerous leading conventional physicians and scientists who have had extremely positive things to say about homeopathy include Sir William Osler (the "father of modern medicine"), Emil Adolph von Behring, MD (the "father of immunology"), Charles Frederick Menninger, MD (founder of the Menninger Clinic), August Bier, MD (the "father of spinal anesthesia"), C. Everett Koop, M.D. (former Surgeon General, U.S.), Brian Josephson, PhD. (Nobel Laureate & Cambridge professor). - Dana Ulman, MPH.

Homeopathy Understands That The Body is A Living System

Homeopathic medicines may be effectively applied in chronic (long-term) conditions, as well as acute (short-term) illnesses of adults, children and animals. Homeopathy is not to be confused with herbal medicine or nutritional therapy, as it is a distinct and integral system unto itself. The fundamental principle of homeopathy, termed the Law of Similars, is based on the observation that the specific medicine most truly curative for a patient, will be one that is able to cause a pattern of symptoms very similar to the characteristic symptoms from which the patient suffers. Samuel Hahnemann (1755 - 1843) rediscovered the ancient healing principle of curing through symptom similarity, and through careful clinical experiment created and refined the homeopathic system of medicine at the beginning of the nineteenth century. - Homeopathic Academy of Naturopathic Physicians

Homeopathic Physicians: The Same Treatment as the Royals

For over 200 years the royal family in England has had their own personal homeopathic doctor, and all of the kings, queens, and other royals have been treated almost exclusively for all medical issues with homeopathy. Mother Theresa used homeopathy and her organization treated tens of thousands of people in India with homeopathic remedies. In India, the homeopathic LM potency has become very popular.

Homeopathy is the fourth most practiced form of medicine in the world. It has been estimated that 20% of the entire contenent of India uses homeopathy as their only form of medical treatment. Modern day homeopathic teachers such as David Little and Dr. Luc De Shepper M.D. have been introducing the homeopathic LM potency, already famous in India to Western audiences of doctors and students alike.

A Serious Form of Medicine: Rules for Remedies

Important tennants in homeopathy are using only one remedy at a time (throw away any combination remedies), always taking a remedy in water and never dry, individually selecting the remedy for each patient very carefully, and giving a remedy the time needed to produce a curative effect, sometimes days to months. Homeopathic doctors and their patients have learned never to treat any skin condition with anything other than homeopathic remedies. For any serious condition, one should see a quality professional homeopath. Modern homeopaths work directly from the 6th Organon, and often use LM potencies with the patients they treat.

Many believe homeopathy to be the most curative form of dermatology. It is very important to avoid any skin treatments or putting external substances for skin problems. All skin problems should be referred to a professional homeopath immediately. Homeopathy is particularly appropriate for children and pregnant mothers, as well as those of all ages.

Doctors of Chiropractic (Chiropractors)

An Adjustment & You're "Good as New"

"The most common therapeutic procedure performed by doctors of chiropractic is known as spinal manipulation, also called chiropractic adjustment. The purpose of manipulation is to restore joint mobility by manually applying a controlled force into joints that have become hypomobile — or restricted in their movement — as a result of a tissue injury. Tissue injury can be caused by a single traumatic event, such as improper lifting of a heavy object, or through repetitive stresses, such as sitting in an awkward position with poor spinal posture for an extended period of time. Manipulation, or adjustment of the affected joint and tissues, restores mobility, thereby alleviating pain and muscle tightness, and allowing tissues to heal." - American Chiropractic Association

Chiropractic: Physical Balance for the Body

Chiropractors treat patients with muscular adjustments that give wider ranges of motion and ease. This form of treatment often provides a greater degree of flexibility and comfort. Traditionally chiropractors are the form of health provider most likely to use alternative approaches such as kineseology, homeopathic remedies, and herbs. Chiropractors will typically send patients with skin eruptions or dermatology problems to a homeopathic doctor or provide homeopathic remedies themselves for such issues.

Complementary Medicine: Understanding That The Body is A Living System

"Integrative medicine provides services across the continuum of care. On one end of the continuum, there are preventive and diagnostic medical examinations, surgeries and medicines. [Integrative Medicine] strongly emphasizes the very best of conventional medicine and cutting-edge diagnosis and treatment, with appropriate complementary therapies. Whenever possible, it favors the use of low-tech, low-cost interventions. All factors that affect health, wellness, are considered. It brings patients and caregivers into a partnership to achieve optimal health and healing."
- Duke Integrative Medicine

(TCM) Acupuncturists & Herbal Medicine

Ancient Healing Techniques for Modern Living.

Acupuncture is one of the oldest, most commonly used medical procedures in the world. Originating in China more than 2,000 years ago, acupuncture began to become better known in the United States in 1971, when New York Times reporter James Reston wrote about how doctors in China used needles to ease his pain after surgery. - National Institutes of Health

Incorporating the Wisdom of other Cultures.

Cultures from areas such as India and China have long established health practices that have only recently started to be looked at by Westerners. Many of these forms of healing have well established health proceedures and advanced meditation, relaxation and longevity techniques. Many of these programs support the body's integrity while forms of healing like homeopathy produce a permenant cure.
