Homeopathy - An Explantaion & Definition -

[Guest guest]

>>>This sounds like a HOMEOPATHIC REMEDY, doesn't it? Hugs, Penny<<<Oh no, Penny, it's not even vaguely similar. Here is an explanation to clear it up for you andothers. The Materia Medica is the Homeopathic Bible. I have a Materia Medica of my own and consult it regularly. Here is the online version of it:http://www.homeoint.org/books/boericmm/index.htmHomeopathic Medicine

An alternative

medical system. In homeopathic medicine, there is a belief that "like

cures like," meaning that small, highly diluted quantities of medicinal

substances are given to cure symptoms, when the same substances given

at higher or more concentrated doses would actually cause those

symptoms. Source: National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine

Homeopathy

Medical practice based on

the idea that disease can be treated with small doses of drugs known to

produce in patients the symptoms of said disease. Homeopathy is a

mainstream practice outside of the United States but is considered

alternative medicine in the U.S.=========================Homeopathy was established by Dr. Hanneman between 1790

and 1800. Many former 'savants' realised the principle but Hanneman

worked out the logic and the mechanism.It is very simple. You take one

part of the starter substance (usually called a Mother Tincture), which

can be of anything. This is mixed with 100 parts water and alcohol,

succosed hard in an enclosed glass tube with at least 50 successions. (succussion - the process of forcefully striking a homeopathic remedy against a firm surface.

Not at all the same as 'shaking'.)One

part of this is then diluted again in 100 parts of water and alcohol,

then the process is repeated. When this has been done 6 times you have

created a low potency homeopathic medicine. It is extremely

surprising that these medicines have a therapeutic effect. Contemporary

science finds this hard to accept especially when high dilutions are

reached. No 11 part starter + 100 parts water1/10010-2No 2 1/10,00010-4No 3 1/100,00010-6No 4 1/100,000,00010-8No 5 1/10,000,000,00010-10No 6 1/1,000,000,000,00010-12The

serial dilution is actually extremely useful range of homeopathic

medicines of many different substances. The trouble is that when the

point of 10-12 is passed "Avogadro's Number" is passed. According to

the physical theory no measurable molecules can be found. Therefore

according to contemporary medical theory the substance can't have a

reaction. But it does! In fact repeated observations tell that activity

continues well beyond this point. It does in fact go through a

sinusoidal type curve of reactions of effect and non-effect. Jack

Benveniste showed this extremely well with his basal cell experiments.

Many people find this very hard to understand and very hard to accept

but I think that once you regard life as having definite bio electrical

activity rather than just physical and chemical mechanisms then one

begins to understand what is going on. If there were no definite

activity in Homeopathic potencies I personally would not have spent the

last 28 years of my life engrossed in Homeopathic medicine. Experience

shows that Homeopathic potentcies (medicines) can be made from any

substance and they provide extremely good antidote to the observed

effect for the basic substance when it is a crude form. Numerous

experiments have been done in the past 100 years or more in this

respect. Time and repetition have proved the point. You can take any

food substance (such as milk, yeast) or environmental allergens (such

as house dust / mould), prepare suitable homeopathic potentcies of them

and they will provide good antidotes for those basic substances BUT YOU

MUST find the homeopathic strength required and unfortunately this

varies according to each person who suffers from the hypersensitive

reaction to that substance. There is no standard strength. You can try

to find this by trial and error, guess work or if you have been trained

in certain bio electronic techniques this is extremely useful too but

you need to work through strengths of 1c, 2c, 3c, 4c, 5c, 6c, 7c, 8c,

9c, 10c, 11c, 12c and then perhaps you can jump to 30c and jump again

to 100c, 200c and even 1,000c also known as 1M. Other

medications can be given to treat the original cause of the complaint.

This depends largely on what you (the patient) thinks was the original

cause. For instance if you are convinced it was an infection you could

try giving one or two doses of a homeopathic fully prepared diluted

preparation of that infection. The strength 30c is commonly used

throughout the literature. We are now really entering the realm of

professional homeopathic practice. It is one of the reasons why at

least 4 years training is required to qualify in homeopathy. So if you

want to pursue the matter then I strongly recommend the readership does

consult suitably qualified and experienced homeopathic practitioners

for this particular realm. I have simply given to you the readers a

glimpse of what can be done. By Dr Fox
