Classical Homeopathy
Homeopathy
is a scientific system of natural medicine that treats the whole person on the
mental, emotional, and physical level. It addresses the core imbalance behind
the symptoms that manifest.
For
200 years homeopathic medicine has successfully treated epidemics, chronic
disease and acutes. When used properly it is safe for everyone from the
pregnant mom, or nursing baby to the elderly.
The
practice of homeopathic medicine is based on The Law of Similars. This is the
fundamental precept that what causes a set of symptoms can be cured by
substances that produce similar symptoms.
How it Works
Each
person manifests symptoms of the body, mind, and spirit when they are sick.
Some of these symptoms are common to the particular sickness and some are
unique to that person in their sickness. The symptom picture of the homeopathic
remedy is matched to the symptom picture of the person, with particular
attention paid to those unique symptoms. For the homeopathic remedy to be
curative, the symptom picture of the remedy must be similar to the picture that
the sick person shows.
A
person does not become sick only in part. The whole becomes sick: body, mind,
spirit. The body may show symptoms of disease, but the physical body is not the
origin of the disease. The symptoms are the language by which we know illness
and through which the curative homeopathic medicine is found.
Homeopathic Medicines
Homeopathic
medicines are dilute extracts of natural substances-animal, vegetable, mineral.
Through the process of potentization snake venoms, heavy metals, even inert
materials become powerful therapeutics. Potentization extracts the innate
healing dynamics of a substance and facilitates its effects on the energetic
and material level. All together the best of both worlds—safe because they’re
so dilute and powerful because of their energetic action.
Who Homeopathy is For?
Homeopathy
is safe for infants, elderly, and even pregnant women. It is especially
effective for chronic or recurrent conditions where conventional medicine fails
or provides no help. If you’ve been told “there’s nothing wrong with you’, or,
‘there’s nothing that can be done”, it’s time to consider homeopathy. It
effectively addresses physical ailments as well as emotional disturbances and
behavioral problems.
Homeopathy
works well for acute illnesses like the flu, hives, bronchitis, poison ivy, and
shingles. It’s great first aid care for
car accidents, falls, bruises, fractures, and insect bites. Chronic conditions
such as anxiety, depression, digestive problems, migraines, headaches,
inflammatory bowel conditions, arthritis, allergies, psoriasis, and hormonal
problems respond curatively to the correct homeopathic medicine.

January 19, 2010 Orthomolecular Medicine News Service http://orthomolecular.org/subscribe.html OMNS archive link http://orthomolecular.org/resources/omns/index.shtml There was not even one death caused by a dietary supplement in 2008, according to the most recent information collected by the U.S. National Poison Data System. The new 174-page annual report of the American Association of Poison Control Centers, published in the journal Clinical Toxicology, shows zero deaths from multiple vitamins; zero deaths from any of the B vitamins; zero deaths from vitamins A, C, D, or E; and zero deaths from any other vitamin.
Additionally, there were no deaths whatsoever from any amino acid or herbal product. This means no deaths at all from blue cohosh, echinacea, ginkgo biloba, ginseng, kava kava, St. John's wort, valerian, yohimbe, Asian medicines, ayurvedic medicines, or any other botanical. There were zero deaths from creatine, blue-green algae, glucosamine, chondroitin, melatonin, or any homeopathic remedies.
Furthermore, there were zero deaths in 2008 from any dietary mineral supplement. This means there were no fatalities from calcium, magnesium, chromium, zinc, selenium, iron, or multimineral supplements. Two children died as a result of medical use of the antacid sodium bicarbonate. The other "Electrolyte and Mineral" category death was due to a man accidentally drinking sodium hydroxide, a highly toxic degreaser and drain-opener. No man, woman or child died from nutritional supplements. Period.
61 poison centers provide coast-to-coast data for the U.S. National Poison Data System, which is then reviewed by 29 medical and clinical toxicologists. NPDS, the authors write, is "one of the few real-time national surveillance systems in existence, providing a model public health surveillance system for all types of exposures, public health event identification, resilience response and situational awareness tracking."
Over half of the U.S. population takes daily nutritional supplements. Even if each of those people took only one single tablet daily, that makes 154,000,000 individual doses per day, for a total of over 56 billion doses annually. Since many persons take more than just one vitamin or mineral tablet, actual consumption is considerably higher, and the safety of nutritional supplements is all the more remarkable.
If nutritional supplements are allegedly so "dangerous," as the FDA and news media so often claim, then where are the bodies?
Those who wonder if the media are biased against vitamins may consider this: how many television stations, newspapers, magazines, and medical journals have reported that no one dies from nutritional supplements?
