Homeopathy

Homeopaths believe what most physiologists believe, that symptoms are adaptations of our bodies to stress and infection; that symptoms are defenses of the body, adaptations of the body in its efforts to try and heal itself.

The body is not always strong enough to complete the process.  Sometimes the bacteria, virus or external stress is so strong that the body cannot complete the externalization so it needs a catalyst to the body’s defense-immune system.

In essence, homeopathy is a natural, pharmaceutical science that looks for a substance in nature which has the capacity to stimulate the unique defense of the organism.

Therefore, the symptoms are defenses. They are not the problem, but the effort of the organism to deal with the problem.  Symptoms are not disease.  They are the signs and signals of the disease.  Threading symptoms is like shooting the messenger because you don’t like the message.  It does not change the message. If you are driving your car and the oil light goes on, do you unplug the light?  The worse thing about that solution is it seems to work and you can drive on, at least for a while, without the light shining in your face.  So, symptoms are warning signals and we can choose to ignore the signals, to turn them off or do something about them.

So, once again, homeopaths respect the body’s own defenses and one gives homeopathic remedies to a person because they want to aid the body in its own efforts to heal.

Homeopaths have found that once you find a substance that is capable of causing symptoms similar to those the person is suffering with, the person will have a hypersensitivity to that similar substance.  It’s like when you hit a “C” note on a piano; all the other “C” notes will reverberate.  Substances that have similar resonance have a hypersensitivity to each other.  That’s why homeopaths give micro-doses of a substance which has a similar resonance as our own resonance, our own total symptom logical resonance.  Because of the similarity the body can respond to that small dos3e of the substance.

So homeopathy makes use of a basic law in nature that we ref3er to as the Law of Similars, or scientist might refer it as a Similars Phenomenon.

Homeopathy has been referred to as “Medical Aikido.” Aikido is the martial art that teaches how to use the strength of the person attacking you to draw them to the ground rather that going at the attacker offensively.  Homeopathy takes energy of the disease and instead of suppressing it, it goes with it.
