What Is Homeopathy?

Homeopathy Is a SCIENTIFIC SYSTEM of health care which activates the body's own healing processes in order TO CURE DIS-EASE NATURALLY, GENTLY, AND PROMPTLY. Homeopathy is a natural pharmaceutical science that uses very small or infinitesimal doses of substances from the plant, mineral or animal kingdoms to ACTIVATE the body's NERVOUS SYSTEM to initiate the HEALING RESPONSE.

The Word HOMEOPATHY is derived from the Greek "Homolos" meaning similar and "pathos" meaning suffering.

The science of Homeopathy was founded in the early 1800's by the German Physician and chemist, DR SAMUEL HAHNEMANN, while doing research into the toxicological effects of the medicines of his time. Dr. Hahnemann discovered that a SPECIFIC DILUTION OF S SUBSTANCE WOULD REMOVE THE SYMPTOMS THAT SUBSTANCE WAS CAPABLE OF EVOKING. Through numerous experiments, he advanced the theory that "likes are cured by likes," and today it is a verified law of Pharmacology: "THE LAW OF SIMILARS."

For example, if one drinks too much COFFEE, the mind races and prevents sleep; the nervous system gets on edge and trembling may even result. A specifically prepared Homeopathic dilution of coffee will gently and promptly reverse these types of symptoms.

IPECAC in a large dose causes nausea and vomiting. An ill person suffering from the same or similar symptoms improves after taking a specifically prepared Homeopathic dilution of ipecac.

Another example would be cooks slicing ONIONS. The eyes will burn and water profusely and the nose, too, may water and sneezing may occur. However, if they had not been handling onions, they would probably be suffering with these symptoms from HAY FEVER. As you might expect, one remedy for this condition is the onion, specifically diluted by the exact Homeopathic instructions.

You will also see application of the LAW OF SIMILARS in GENETICS, PHYSICS, CHEMISTRY, or IMMUNOLOGY. In PHYSICS, opposite poles of a magnet attract while similar poles repel. By placing SIMILAR POLES next to each other, a weakened magnet will be RECHARGED/REGENERATED, OR HEALED by the LAW OF SIMILARS. A basic principle of SOLVENT CHEMISTRY is that a substance will be a solvent to another substance when it has a similar type of molecular bond. It has to be either similarly polar or similarly Apolar and the LIKE WILL DISSOLVE LIKE. IMMUNOLOGY, of course, crudely applies the Law of Similars to ACTIVATE ANTIBODY RESPONSES with small doses of a similar substance that will evoke the allergic symptoms.
