Nature's Medical Miracle - The Revolutionary Medicine
Homeopathy is often confused with home remedies and herbal remedies or nutritional
therapy or with the broad field of natural or alternative medicine. Instead, homeopathy is
an advanced system of natural medicine of its own. It is radically different from any other
system of medicine, and has been proven effective, and gentle for over 200 years across the
world.
Another example: Let’s take a look at onions. When you chop an onion, pretty soon you will
have burning eyes and tears, as well as a runny nose. These are some of the symptoms
onions cause in a healthy person. When you have a condition with symptoms of a watery
runny nose and burning streaming eyes (such as in hay fever or a cold) similar to what you
get from cutting an onion, the homeopathic remedy allium cepa (onion) corresponds to
your condition and is the curative homeopathic remedy.
This is exactly what homeopathy does: the curative homeopathy medicine will be one that
matches in detail the characteristic symptoms from which the patient is suffering.

Chapter 1: The Homeopathic Treatment
The homeopathic method uses remedial doses based on symptoms which are considered
signals to the source problem. Homeopathy is based on the principle that "like treats like".
Like treating a hangover by drinking a small amount of alcohol, or “hair of the dog,”
homeopathy uses tiny amounts of natural substances to cure the disorder.
Symptoms are essential for finding the curative homeopathic remedy. They are signals from
your body indicating a cure is required from a particular stimulus. The stimulus triggers your
natural defense mechanism/immunity (vital force) to do the healing.
For cure, symptoms need to be overcome by your body’s healing forces. The well-chosen
homeopathic remedy triggers your body to do its own healing. Otherwise, if symptoms are
suppressed, they tend to return in a form worse than previously experienced. For instance,
many times eczema occurs after skin symptoms have been suppressed by topical treatment.
Once a health problem is overcome by using a homeopathic remedy, not only will the
symptoms disappear, but your overall health will be at a higher level than before the illness.
Homeopathic remedies often are a highly diluted dose prepared in a special way to unfold
their curative effects. This makes homeopathy one of the most gentle and most safe
medicines there is.

The Origin Of Homeopathy
Homeopathy's roots emerge from the findings, teachings and writings of Dr. Samuel
Hahnemann (1755-1843). Dr. Samuel Hahnemann stood on the shoulders of those before
him, namely Hippocrates and Paracelsus. He was a physician, chemist and scientific
translator.
Hahnemann graduated from medical school in 1779 and started his own medical practice.
Soon Dr. Hahnemann was disillusioned with medical practice of his day and he quit
practicing it.
Instead he began working as a chemist while translating medical texts. Hahnemann was
fluent in eight languages which enabled him to source information from medical texts
originating in other countries.
When Hahnemann was translating William Cullen's Materia Medica into German, he
questioned Cullen’s explanation of the health effects of the cinchona bark in the treatment
of malaria. Cullen said it was the bitter ingredients of the bark that caused the curing of
malaria. Hahnemann didn’t believe in this explanation, and decided to investigate the
effects of cinchona bark himself.
Hahnemann ingested the bark as a healthy person and discovered that the malaria medicine
cinchona bark caused symptoms similar to malaria.
This was the first application of the ancient law of “similia similibus currentur” in medicine
which is the Latin phrase meaning “let likes be cured by likes.”
He continued his research into "cures" and the idea of "similar suffering," and began
compiling his findings. After six years of intense research he published his findings in 1796,
which was to become the birthday of homeopathy.
He resumed medical practice only after he had discovered and observed the laws of
homeopathy.

How Is Homeopathy Different From All Other Systems Of Medicine?
Homeopathy is a truly holistic approach to health; one that emphasizes people rather than
diseases. Homeopathy recognizes that each person responds uniquely to the forces of their
heredity and environment.
So how is the homeopathic approach different from all other systems of medicine?
A problem: let’s use the example where someone has a tendency for repeated bouts of
bronchitis. Most of us treat the bronchitis as if this was something completely different,
isolated from you. This implies, my problem is my enemy. Because it’s my enemy, I have
certain strategies available typically favored by conventional medicine – kill it, cut it, burn it,
poison it, replace it. You either numb it by poisoning it, you may need to cut it out, to burn it.
Homeopathy says something entirely different and it is a statement that is unique in all of
medicine. The body does the best it can, and when it creates a symptom, a problem, a
complaint, that’s the best it can do under an adverse circumstance.
By creating that problem, the problem acts as a signal to the homeopath . The body is
looking for particular stimulus. As said before, if we can match exactly what the body wants,
not only will the problem go away, but as a result the entire level of health of a human being
will get better.
There is a tendency within the human body to want to eliminate the problem. In this
example, by developing a polyp. Homeopaths take that symptom as a signal, but also look
deeper for a solution. So in homeopathy, nasal polyps, belly aches, hot feet in bed at night,
intense food cravings, or unreasonable mood swings, to the homeopath, these symptoms
may actually point to a single cause.
These are messages the homeopath uses to match to a medicine from nature using the Law
of Similar - like cures like. Once the exquisite resonating match is found and applied, it
triggers a deep healing. So you don’t need to going back to deal with recurring symptoms.
You don’t need to keep taking the remedy once the body heals naturally.

Chapter 2 Benefits of Homeopathic Remedies
Homeopathic remedies are derived from natural sources, and are prepared by licensed
homeopathic pharmaceutical manufacturers. They are approved by the FDA. Many
substances are poisonous, so they are diluted. They are prepared in a unique way so they
are non-toxic and do not cause any side effects, yet bring out remarkable healing capacities
within each individual substance.
More good news. The remedies are available at a fraction of the cost of most prescription
and over-the-counter drugs.
The more you dilute a remedy, the more effective it becomes provided it is done in this way.
Begin by combining one drop of substance with 99 drops of water. This mixture is shaken
vigorously ten times. The result is a mixture diluted 100 times. When you buy it, it is labeled
1C. You take one drop of the C1 solution, and add it to another 99 drops of water which
then yields a concentration of one part in thousand. The label then is 2C. This process is
continued as much as 1000 times or more. A C1000 has been diluted and shaken a thousand
times.
These small doses are called potencies. Lesser dilutions are known as low potencies. The
higher the dilution when prepared in this manner, the greater the potency of the medicine.
The power of the infinitesimal dose is not clearly understood but neither was the action of
aspirin and many other drugs. The process of potentization makes it possible to use
substances such as certain metals, charcoal and sand, which are inert in their natural state,
and poisonous substances as medicines.
A potentized remedy does not contain sufficient matter to act directly on the tissue. This
means a homeopathic medicine is non-toxic and cannot cause side effects.
In over 200 years of use, no homeopathic remedy has ever been recalled.

How Are The Curative Effects Of A Substance Discovered?
Other sources of knowledge base for a particular substance are case histories of treatment
with medicines that have not undergone a proving but which have yielded a cure in clinical
practice. Finally, the information of symptoms produced by accidental poisonings with toxic
substances is added. There is no concern about testing homeopathic remedies on healthy
individuals because homeopathically prepared remedies are not toxic. The provings, clinical
and toxicological data forms the Materia Medica of the remedy. The Materia Medica is a
reference list of the symptoms of homeopathic remedies. To treat a patient, the physician
looks up the remedy picture in the Materia Medica, and when the symptoms fit, applies the
Law Of Similar.
This is the fundamental law: Like is cured by Like (similia similibus currentur). A remedy can
cure a disease if it produces in a healthy person symptoms similar to those of the disease.
The Single Remedy – Only One Remedy At A Time
Contrary to the current medical practice of frequently prescribing two or more medicines at
one time, classical homeopaths usually give only one remedy at a time. After it is given, its
action is assessed some time later. If it is working, no more medicine is given unless the
improvements experienced either stop completely or are reversed. Combinations of
medicines are not given. This is the only way to observe the process of healing because we
are not sure what the effect of two remedies would be, or the interaction between them,
but we are sure of the effect of a single remedy.
The Minimum Dose
The best results are obtained by giving the minimum amount of medicinal stimulus to get a
reaction from the individual’s own healing powers. Currently, there is a lot of
misinformation relating to dosage and repetition of homeopathic medicines actually. Ignore
any instructions that asks you to routinely repeat a homeopathic medicine at set intervals.
Instead remember this simple common-sense rule: If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it!

Safe, But Why Effective?
We do not fully know how homeopathic remedies work, but we do have a recorded case
history spanning over 200 years and know from experience how to use homeopathy
effectively. This is no different than with many pharmaceutical drugs which are being used
even if no one knows how exactly they work. Aspirin is just one example – only in 1970 it
was fully discovered how it works and still it has been used since 1899.
“What I can say now is that high dilutions are right. High dilutions of something are not
nothing. They are water structures that mimic the original molecules. It’s not pseudo-
science. It’s not quackery. These are real phenomena which deserve further studies.”
Some media are operating on a double standard regarding homeopathy when they reiterate
that homeopathy cannot work because the remedies contain no substance. They disregard
the evidence of successful cure of millions of people all over the world over a period of 220
years. In fact, homeopathy works with plants and animals, too.
They also disregard all the studies and testimonials of success that exist. This is not new.
Throughout history, homeopathy has been attacked and oppressed because of its success
which is a real potential threat to conventional medicine and the pharmaceutical industry.
Historical Background
As you can imagine, Hahnemann was scorned by many of his contemporaries as it was a
radically different kind of approach.
Homeopathy first gained a huge following in Europe through its effective treatment and
prevention of cholera, typhoid, measles, scarlet and yellow fever with a mortality rate of 3 -
6 % or less without any side effects compared to 30 to 70% mortality of conventional
medicine.
Dr. Constantin Hering, a German immigrant, founded the first homeopathic medical school
in the United States in 1844. Just like in Europe, homeopathy gained recognition because of
its success in treating the many disease epidemics raging at the time — including scarlet

fever, typhoid, cholera and yellow fever. In the mid-1850s, patients were leaving orthodox
doctors in droves to be treated by homeopathy.
Homeopathy became very popular in the early 1900’s. At that time, there were 22
homeopathic medical schools, 100 homeopathic hospitals and over 1,000 homeopathic
pharmacies. Boston University, Stanford University and New York Medical College were
among those educational institutions that were teaching homeopathy.
Homeopathy lost its popularity in the United States mostly for three reasons:
In the United States, since 1970 public interest has risen again and homeopathy is returning
as an accepted practice across North America.
This resurgence has been documented by the National Center for Homeopathy in Virginia
which stated that Americans spent 230 million dollars on homeopathic remedies in 1996. It
has also been said that sales are rising rapidly at about 12 – 15% each year.
Meanwhile, it is used all over the world to treat humans, animals and plants with impressive
results in acute and even severe chronic conditions.

Homeopathy In The World
Today, all French and German pharmacies sell homeopathic remedies. In France, 30% of all
physicians prescribe homeopathic medicines, 20% in Germany, and 40% in the UK.
Homeopathy has been integrated into the healthcare systems of many European countries
including France, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, Switzerland and Portugal. Mahatma
Gandhi promoted homeopathy in India where it is recognized as one of the three pillars of
public medicine together with Ayurveda and Western medicine.
In India, today there are over 200,000 registered homeopathic practitioners, 215
homeopathic hospitals and 7,000 homeopathic dispensaries. There are homeopathic
colleges with a four to five year training in homeopathy. Indian homeopaths are known for
their expertise in treating very severe cases including cancer.
In Germany, medical students must take at least one introductory course in homeopathy.
The German agricultural department sponsors courses in homeopathy for farmers to enable
them to treat their animals without antibiotics.
Brazil has adopted homeopathy for the public health service in 2006, and it is popular in
Russia, Switzerland, France, Italy, Germany, Netherlands, England, Argentina and Mexico,
India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
Clinical evidence accumulated over more than 200 years of use demonstrates that
homeopathic medicine is the viable alternative to standard medicine. It is a scientific system
of medicine that is proven safe and effective. And 200 years later it is still doing the same;
governments of today are using homeopathy to prevent, treat, or break epidemics within
their countries. Homeopathy is a safe alternative to vaccinations which all come with health
risks. To learn how to naturally prevent viral infections, please read our report “Prevent

Name Dropping - Fans Of Homeopathy
In general, people using homeopathy tend to be better educated and better informed
persons than those going for conventional medicine.
Homeopathy has a reputation for being preferred by the privileged and famous. These are
the people who could afford to select any medicine in the world, yet depended on
homeopathy.
Famous people who used homeopathy include Abraham Lincoln, Tina Turner, Paul
McCartney, Charles Darwin, the violinist Paganini, John D. Rockefeller (who lived 99 years),
three American presidents, James Garfield, Chester A. Arthur and Warren Harding and Bill
Clinton, Daniel Webster, former prime minister Tony Blair, Henry W. Longfellow,
Washington Irving, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Florence Nightingale,
Mahatma Gandhi, Mark Twain, Samuel Morse, Yehudi Menuhin, a great part of the
aristocracy and European royalty. The British Royal Family, a number of popes including Pius
X, John Paul II, and Benedict XVI. Last not least also Mother Teresa’s (1910 – 1997) and her
Mission of Charity apply homeopathy.

Chapter 3: How to Take a Remedy
What To Consider:
There are some substances which antidote homeopathic medicines. An antidote neutralizes
the effects of another substance. In the case of homeopathy, the administered remedy
would be ineffective by the antidote. You need to avoid these anecdotes when you are
using a homeopathic remedy.
Substances to avoid are coffee, mint, camphor, menthol, eucalyptus, and chamomile
externally or internally.
To avoid camphor, read the labels of home remedies, lotions, and make-up to make sure
you are not erroneously introducing camphor into your body. Tiger Balm, Chapstick, lipstick,
and menthol products often have camphor.
Take 2 or 3 pilules or one tablet as they are into your mouth and let them dissolve.
If you are taking a tincture, you may dilute 2 or 3 drops in a teaspoon of water. Keep
the fluid in your mouth as long as you can.
©OxySolution.com
17
Method 2: Taking The Remedy Dissolved In Water
You need a clean glass of water, and a spoon for vigorously stirring. (Some homeopaths
recommend to use plastic cups and plastic spoons which have to be discharged after use.)
When using a glass and a metal spoon, they need to be cleaned in the dishwasher or boiled
in hot water before re-using them for homeopathic remedies.
Remedies can also be taken through the nose by a quick sniff. It’s called olfaction dosing.
In olfaction dosing the energy of remedy is taken inward with a quick breath. It has been in
use since the early days of homeopathy. It is ideally suited for sensitive people who
overreact to oral doses.

Chapter 4: Homeopathic Success Stories
Epidemics
Successful treatment and prevention of epidemics has made homeopathy widely popular in
its early beginnings.
In 1813, 183 persons suffering from typhoid fever were treated by Hahnemann. Only 1
person died whereas conventionally treated persons had a mortality of 40 – 50%.
In 1849, in Cincinnati, Ohio, homeopathic doctors treated 1,116 persons infected by cholera.
35 patients died. Conventional medicine had a mortality of more than 50% in cholera
treatment. In 1918, in Connecticut 6,602 patients received homeopathic treatment for the
Spanish flu. Only 55 died which is a mortality rate of less than 1% versus a mortality of 30%
under conventional treatment.
In 1991, there was a severe outbreak of Japanese encephalitis in the Indian state Uttar
Pradesh which is known to have a mortality rate of 21 to 44%, no conventional treatment is
available. The government requested the Indian Central Council of Homeopathic Research
to help, and Indian homeopaths led the successful homeopathic preventive treatment of
322,812 persons. Of those receiving preventive doses, only 223 patients needed remedial
treatment.

Eczema, hay fever and more
I am a Biochemist and had been in research for 8 years. When I had my first child, I started
investigating about vaccinations and its adverse effects. So after a few jabs, I decided to stop
vaccinating my child.
Then my daughter developed eczema. After failing to get proper care for her in mainstream
medicine, I resorted to Homeopathy. The results were amazing! Then I got my husband
interested and within months his hay fever was gone. Totally blown away with this
experience, I quit my job and started studying Homeopathy. I had full Homeopathic care
throughout my other two pregnancies and delivered happy healthy babies. I had remedies
throughout my labor and afterwards as well. I didn’t take any medications at all. On my
hospital form my GP put down Homeopathy used for analgesics. My children are not
vaccinated and have never been on antibiotics. They haven’t had any ear infections, throat
problems which so many other children seem to experience.
-Shabina May 20, 2011
I, myself, suffered from shingles, another painful condition. By taking Rhus Tox as prescribed
by an herbalist, I would be pain free within twenty minutes. My husband suffered Glandular
Fever in his late fifties a few years back. Within one month of taking homoeopathic
treatment, he was back to his old self. Usually this debilitating condition can take months
and months to overcome. There are many other incidents over the years where
homoeopathy has played its part in our family health regime. I support homoeopathy one
hundred percent.

Infertility – female
I was having a lot of difficulty conceiving my third child – was trying for months and months.
I eventually realized after doing LH tests each month that I was not ovulating at all.
After several visits to my GP to see what might be wrong, and who was unable to give me
any definite answers, I felt at a loss. I found a homeopath specializing in fertility. I read
numerous testimonials on her website – she had cured decades long cases of infertility
within 4 months, and with an 85% success rate.
I had one consultation with her, she gave me about 5 different remedies – turns out I had a
number of hormonal imbalances that had cropped up since the birth of my second child.
Within 2 weeks the remedies worked, the LH test came up positive for the first time in
months. I was pregnant in my next cycle.
It cost me about $200 all up (half of which I was able to claim back on health insurance). I
was amazed. And then I started thinking about all the poor women who stay on IVF for
years, paying thousands of dollars, without any success, and with all the nasty side-effects.
Hypoglycemia, pustules
I was suffering from frequent attacks of hypoglycemia. I was also suffering from backache
due to protrusion of the disc at the level of L4, 5. Another problem was an eruption of small
pustules at my face. I went to a homeopath in my area named Dr. Bashir Malik. I tried the
medicine and in the period of two months, two of my problems were absolutely solved.
1- Hypoglycemia
2- Pustules on my face
As far as backache is concerned it was not effective to my satisfaction.
-Dr. Waqar Qureshi Nov. 24, 2011
I have since recommended this treatment to a friend with a cocker spaniel, with the same
amazing results. This will work for animals who, let’s face it, won’t be psychosomatically
persuaded. I hope this experience will help, if only just a small amount.

Liver disease, intestinal inflammation, irritable bowel disease in cat
I got into homeopathy when my beloved 12-year-old male cat fell deathly ill. He had severe
liver disease, severe inflammation of the intestines, IBD. The conventional treatments were
not getting Bishop any better over a month period.
The vet just wanted to continue to up his steroid intake. At that point I was persuaded to
consult a homeopathic vet. Within two weeks she had him off of steroids and on the road to
recovery. Four years later and his blood work values are close to perfect. For a cat that was
not expected to live to turn around so wonderfully with the use of homeopathic remedies
has made me a believer and user of homeopathic remedies for life. I now use homeopathic
remedies for all three of my cats and will continue for as long as I live.
-Kerri Dec. 22, 2012
Night terrors
I have used homeopathy for many years for both myself and my children. I have several
stories that I could tell about its successes but this would take too long.
My most recent success is that my 7-year-old son was treated for night terrors, he had been
having nightmares every night for about 3 weeks. After two doses of a remedy prescribed by
my homeopath Annie Hall the nightmares stopped immediately and he goes to bed and
sleeps soundly all night.
What I would like to say to people who may not believe it works as they have heard the
negative comments from the conventional medical profession is; ‘give it a try, it’s
completely safe. If they feel the benefit then great, spread the word and enjoy the fact that
you may never have to take horrible drugs that cause you unwanted side effects ever again.’

Chapter 5: Who Practices Homeopathy?
Homeopaths can be medical doctors, and in the United States, many homeopaths are also
chiropractors, naturopaths, osteopaths, nurse practitioners, dentists and veterinarians.
There also are many unlicensed homeopathic practitioners, who usually are without an
accredited medical education or live in a state that does not allow licensing of homeopathy.
The skills and experience of homeopaths vary. Some start practicing after a few introductory
courses, others start only after many years of training.
So if you are looking for a qualified homeopath, you may want to find out what his
experience and training is, and even look for testimonials. With medically licensed
homeopaths, it’s a good idea to find out what the proportion of homeopathic treatment is
in his practice.
Other questions to ask are how much time is allowed for a first visit, and what type of
remedies are prescribed. If combination remedies are applied, this is not classical
homeopathy. You cannot expect the same benefits as with classical (single remedy)
homeopathy.
©OxySolution.com

Chapter 6: What Can I Expect in a Homeopathic Consultation?
Homeopathic doctors work in the same way as conventional doctors do. History taking,
examination and investigation are all important in establishing the diagnosis.
After your first visit, you may stay in contact with your homeopath by phone to keep him
informed about any changes in your condition. You may have to come in person for follow-
up appointments as needed in one to three months intervals in chronic conditions. In acute
conditions, you may see your practitioner within a few days, if phone calls are not sufficient.
Be sure to bring any meds you are taking, your medical records and images related to your
problem. To get the most out of a consultation, it is helpful to make some notes beforehand
and to think through all the issues that are affecting your health. Some homeopathic
practitioners ask new patients to complete a questionnaire before their first appointment.
This is a helpful way of saving time and to your advantage to do so if requested.
The Visit
©OxySolution.com
24
First you will be asked to tell your story, and the homeopath will be listening closely to you.
Next there will be questions aiming to fully understand you as a person and how your health
problem has affected you.
Your homeopath is interested in your lifestyle, eating habits and preferences, temperament,
personality, sleep patterns, dreams, appetite, digestion, extent of sweating, menstrual cycle,
sex, and so on and your medical history. This helps the homeopath to form a complete
picture of you and how your health problem has affected you.
In addition to those more general questions, there may be quite a few detailed questions
such as what makes the symptoms better and worse?
Are you better in a warm room or in fresh air outdoors? Do you need absolute rest or do you
feel better when you move your body?
Are you restless because no position feels good? Which side is affected, right or left?
What triggers the symptom? What do you have to do to make the symptom better or worse?
At what time of the day are you better or worse? For example in the afternoon, when waking
up, at midnight, and so on.
Detailed questions as above help to find a particular type and strength of a homeopathic
remedy.

The Medicine
You may be given a checklist to keep track of any changes in your condition while in
homeopathic care.
Follow-up Visits
Follow-ups are needed to evaluate the response to the remedy administered and to adjust
the therapy as needed. This is especially important in chronic conditions.
A patient may feel better and decide he or she is cured, or the patient may feel worse and
decide the remedy is not working. Either judgment may be completely inappropriate. An
apparent improvement may not be moving in the right direction; an apparent worsening
may be a therapeutic aggravation. Only the practitioner can evaluate the case objectively.

hapter 7: Frequently Asked Questions
Strong suppressive drugs like steroids and immune suppressants are No. 1 of the things
which can interfere with the effectiveness of a homeopathic remedy, also birth control pills
as they suppress the natural cycle. Camphor oil is known to antidote the action of the
remedies. Coffee (decaf or regular) may interfere in some cases.
A strong shock, either emotional or physical, such as being injured in a car accident or
grieving the death of a close person can interfere with the effectiveness of a homeopathic
medicine.
Homeopathy can work well with conventional medicine. However, your homeopath needs
to be aware of any conventional medication you take, be it prescribed by a doctor or bought
over the counter, including supplements and vitamins.
There can be conflicts between the two systems of treatment, and so it is important for the
homeopath to be able to identify when this is happening. No responsible homeopath will
ask you to come off your conventional medication without consulting with your doctor.
In some cases, where conventional medicine is suppressing a major system of the body
(such as steroids and hormone treatments) homeopathic treatment may be more difficult;
remedies may have to be given more often or over a longer period of time; or sometimes
homeopathy fails to work at all.

What About All Those Homeopathic Combination Remedies Widely Available
Today, Like Flu, Sinus, Headache, PMS, Etc.?
Those combination medicines contain numerous potentized drugs in one dose. Each of their
ingredients is a remedy that has a certain disease state associated with it. This places your
body into a confused condition.
When your vital force has to deal with several disease states all at the same time, it gets
mixed messages and cannot react properly. It is like trying to listen to the radio when there
are several frequencies received at the same time. You don’t understand a thing, and it is
annoying and confusing. – It may even be impossible to get a normal reaction to a proper
homeopathic remedy after combination remedies have been used over some time.
Combination remedies are not homeopathic because they are not individually prescribed. In
homeopathy, a patient may need one of thousand remedies, and it will be different for
every headache patient. The use of potentized drugs in these combinations does not make
them homeopathic.
Do Homeopaths Use Electronic Equipment For Diagnosis?
Some practitioners who call themselves homeopaths do. But to a classical prescriber these
practitioners are not, strictly speaking, homeopaths. They use homeopathic remedies in a
non-homeopathic way. The same goes for those practitioners who inject the remedies.
There may be value in these approaches, but they probably shouldn’t be called homeopathy.
In classical teaching, a patient should either ingest (eat) or inhale (sniff) the remedy.
In homeopathy, drugs are chosen according to the principle of similarity (like cures like).
This stimulates in your vital force a healing from within.

What Is The Best Remedy For Hay Fever, Headache, Flu, Diarrhea, Depression,
Etc.?
No. There are homeopathic practitioners who are medical doctors and those who are not
licensed as a medically trained practitioner.
The best way to find a good homeopath is a referral by a happy patient. Another way is to
call the practitioners in your area and find out if they are classical and how much time they
allow for the first visit. They should allow a minimum of one hour and not work with
combination remedies.
Another way is to call a homeopathic study group in your area and ask them. You can find a
study group in your area in the referral list of the National Center for Homeopathy.
The homeopath should specialize in homeopathy as the primary therapy.
Those initials after a homeopath’s name usually are titles awarded by different homeopathic
boards and schools. Homeopathic education and certification in the USA have not been
standardized. There are several groups certifying their members. Any certification only
testifies the particular homeopath’s ability to satisfy the particular board’s minimum
requirements of competence, and may not reflect the practitioner’s true level of mastery.

What Are The Different Kinds Of Homeopathy?
In our day and age, there are two major schools of homeopathy: classical homeopathy as
described in this report and pluralist homeopathy.
Classical homeopathy is also called genuine, unitarian or Hahnemannian. Its main principle
is to use one remedy at a time to address the whole person based on the principle like cures
like. The pluralist approach uses several remedies simultaneously. It is prevalent in France
and is used by some practitioners in North America.
Pluralist homeopathy is generally frowned upon by classical prescribers who believe that it
is difficult enough to find one matching remedy and follow its effect on the patient.
Therefore, giving several remedies at once makes it impossible to determine which of them
is causing the change in the patient’s condition. There is also concern about the possible
deleterious effect on the Vital Force that may be produced by such prescribing.
Remedies are made from all kinds of substances – minerals, chemicals, plants, animal
derived. However, it doesn’t really matter what the remedies are, if the healing is natural.
The only effect of the remedies on the body is to trigger a healing response in the vital force.
Once the vital force reacts, healing takes place from within, directed by the vital force. We
heal ourselves. This is the most natural kind of healing.
A remedy being natural per se does not trigger healing. Only if it is well prescribed and given
in the appropriate homeopathic form, it can do its job.

Chapter 8: Homeopathic Self Care
Homeopathy is a natural medicine that can heal gently and without side effects. It is a very
powerful deep-acting form of therapy. When used inappropriately, homeopathic remedies
may sometimes cause problems. To use it safely, you need to learn about it as much as you
can before using it on your own.
You could be producing a proving and experience the very symptoms you want to cure. This
happens if a remedy is repeated too frequently and for too long. Combination remedies may
confuse the vital force, and while occasionally helping in the short run, they may cause
serious health problems in the future. You will find practitioners that would disagree with
this statement. To be on the safe side, if you are considering using over the counter
combination remedies, limit the use to no longer than a couple of days.
With proper training, many acute conditions can be addressed with homeopathic self-care.
Here is a list:
Homeopathy can be lifesaving and minimize the effects of injuries and accidents such as in sports
related injuries, pain, strains, sprains, blows and concussion, dislocations, crushed fingers and toes,
torn ligaments and tendons, burns, bruises, cuts and lacerations, puncture wounds, black eye.
Depending on your condition, you may need medical care which you can complement with
the use of the right homeopathic remedy.
Acute infections such as the flu, colds, coughs, earaches, fever, sore throat
Post-surgery. Promote healing and recovery and prevent the formation of scars with
homeopathy
Insect stings, animal bites and contact with poison ivy or poison oak
Sudden problems from trauma, shock and grief
Travel, motion and altitude sickness

Chapter 9: Summary
Homeopathy is the world’s fastest growing medicine. It has been proven effective for 220
years all over the world. It is a unique sophisticated system of medicine of its own, and does
NOT mean home remedies or natural remedies such as herbs, vitamins, supplements or
kitchen remedies.
Homeopathy is based on the universal law “like cures like”, and uses a specific
pharmacological method. This is called potentization. It is a special process of serial dilution
and vigorous shaking of substances to a minuscule amount.
Potentized substances become curative remedies, even if they are made of toxic or inert
substances.
To investigate the curative effects of a substance, healthy volunteers perform trials and
carefully record the symptoms they experience. The symptoms that occur consistently are
recorded and listed as a remedy picture in the homeopathic reference, the Materia Medica.
The symptoms of the sick person are essential for finding the curative remedy. They must
not be suppressed.
For a remedy to be curative, the symptoms of the sick person must correspond to the
symptoms the remedy is causing in a healthy person. This is called the application of the law
of similar (like cures like).
When a remedy is administered to a sick person, it triggers a healing response within the
individual that activates his vital force. Once the vital force reacts, healing takes place from
within, directed by the vital force. We heal ourselves. This is unique to homeopathy.
Homeopathy is used in the treatment of humans, animals, and plants. It has been very
effective in curing and preventing epidemics, and can be used in all stages of life for any
disease condition.
