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.
