Homeopathic doctors
practice a distinct system of medicine founded by the German
physician and scientist Samuel Hahnemann in 1796. Homeopathy has been
verified scientifically and clinically for over 200 years. The
system is based on the natural law “Like Cures Like,” first elucidated
by Hippocrates around five thousand BC. Like cures like simply means
that a diluted homeopathic dose of a substance that might normally
cause a certain set of symptoms has the potential to cure a similar set
of symptoms. A homeopathic doctor follows these teachings to bring
about a transformative process to health and healing.
Example :Allium
cepa: a preparation from red onion, causes watery
stinging
eyes; in a minute dose, it is used to treat colds and allergies
characterized by watery stinging eyes.

The Strength of
Homeopathy:
is
that it offers the sick something that the conventional system can't.
Conventional medicine works in opposites: depression and
anti-depressants, stomach
acid and antacids, etc. A homeopathic doctor looks to direct
the
bodies healing potential through like cures like. This process
stimulates
a gentle, effective healing reaction within the
individual. the dosing of the medicine is often very minimal and
therefor of not any appeciable cost. Homeopathic doctors are arguably
the safest
doctors medicine has to offer. Clearly one of the safest choices for
young children, pregnancy and the entire family

Homeopathy
Today
200
+ years of homeopathic research and clinical experience.
All of homeopathic
research has been safely carried out on human populations.
Practiced in 65
countries by over 400,000 physicians.
India has 120
4-5 year homeopathic teaching hospitals and 100,000 homeopathic
physicians .
There are 5
homeopathic hospitals with in the national health system in
England.
42% of British
physicians have referred patients to homeopathic doctors.(British
Medical Journal, June 7th, 1986,292:1498-1500)
36% of the
French population use homeopathy. 70% of French physicians consider
homeopathy effective. (IFOP-public survey, 1993.)
10% of German
physicians specialize in homeopathy.
(Marketing
herbal and homeopathic remedies in Germany. Essex, England:
Nicholas Hall, July 1992.)
Homeopathy for
two hundred years has developed its own research to help the
homeopathic doctor find relief for the public. Thousands of
substances have been examined and re-examined to discover their
usefulness in medicine. Homeopathic doctors find in the
majority of medicines must be personalized to the individual’s
presentation. The end result is that no two people experience
any given medical condition in exactly the same way. For a
homeopathic doctor it’s the differences in individual presentations of
similar conditions that dictate the
administration of medicines. This means that while
the common symptoms are of importance they are not all that is
maintaining the disharmony which now expresses as pathological or
functional disease. Homeopathic doctors do not
associate upon a single symptom, instead they focus on the total
symptom picture, the cause of the concern and the
characteristics
of the imbalances with in the individual. When
research is
focused with
a true homeopathic doctor using individualized medicines we see
fantastic clinical results.
Research
A meta-analysis is when researchers
look at many studies to consider all the evidence on a
subject. The following is a meta-analysis of studies
demonstrating individualized medicines from
homeopathic doctors.
British Medical
Journal. February 9, 1991,
302:316-323).

not effective, 2 inconclusive.
- 13 out of 19 tests showed successful
cure in cases of upper respiratory tract infection.
